As Valentine’s Day draws near to call upon the celebration of love, our attention is drawn to the signature flower, rose. Rose is more than just a symbol of affection, it is a champion skincare ingredient as well. The essential oil that rose produces bears remediable base properties that rejuvenate, restore and refresh the skin with its natural potency of Vitamin C. Here are some of our favorite rose infused beauty buys.
For the past month, I've been using the Nuvesse Firming & Anti-Aging Face Mask once per week and am impressed by the results. I first wrote about this serum-infused biocellose mask, because I was in awe of the technology (more information on that here) and had high hopes that it would help to smooth out my fine lines and like promised, give me a more youthful appearance. I'm only (only?) 33, but of course, like most of you, have been chasing my youth for quite some time now.
If you've been following my InstaStories, then you see that I've been testing a ton of lipsticks and glosses lately. Personally, when choosing a lipstick color, I love wearing neutral or berry shades, but my real lipstick obsession is for anything vampy. This may sound insane, but when deciding I'm in the mood for a vampy lip, I revolve the rest of my outfit (and of course makeup) around it. It's a look that's strong enough to take center stage. With Valentine's Day approaching, it seems appropriate to share some of my favorites. Here are the best lipsticks for a seductive smile.
I was so excited to do this segment on New York Live this week. Marrying my two passions of beauty and fitness, I showed Sara Gore the hottest beauty products made for the fitness fanatic. And yes, I use all of them. Check out the segment here.
If you follow me on Instagram, then you saw that Joe and I went to Sundance opening weekend and took full advantage of all Park City, UT has to offer. Besides attending film premieres and practicing yoga (of course), we had a blast in the snow. With temperatures in the 20's and 30's layering up properly was crucial – starting with my moisturizer.
After snowmobiling at Sundance, Joe and I spent the afternoon at the Serenity Spa at our hotel, the Westgate Part City Resort & Spa, which was such a treat! Attending the Sundance film festival is far from a vacation. The movie schedules are crazy and shuffling to and from events in the snow during the overcrowded week is exhausting so a time out was much appreciated. This was the first time I felt truly relaxed at a spa in a very long time.
If there's one skincare ingredient we should all be using it's retinol (unless your pregnant, of course). The Vitamin A derivative has been the most recommended anti-aging ingredient by dermatologists for years now and is known as the rolls-royce of the beauty industry. This new product by Neutrogena is a game changer.
Before there was Instagram and SnapChat, there was WordPress and Blogger, and those were the platforms my friends and I used to begin to build beauty blogs, establish authority in the industry and share our passions with the world. All entrepreneurs, here we share advice on breaking into the industry and our first ever head shots.
