Lip Love: Tarte Cosmetics's LipSurgence Natural Matte Lip Stains

By TheGlamtastic · September 8, 2010 · 0 Comments ·

It's the start of a new relationship, and all you want to do is makeout like you're in middle school again. Sadly, your lips aren't having it! They are dry, cracked and tired after just 30 minutes of hot and heavy makeout.


You need a lip saver STAT! I recently tried Tarte's LipSurgance natural matte lip stains and no offense to my oh-so-sexy husband, but I may have fallen for these peppermint-infused, smooth, glide-on lip pencils with a flawless finish.


These chic to-go lip crayons also, according to Tarte, are clinically proven to increase moisture content by an astonishing 6,000% after 28 days of continued use. LOVE!


The secret formula that makes these lip savers so hydrating? The recipe is a powerful blend of vitamin C, vitamin E, peppermint oil, jojoba oil, and LipSurgance technology, which appears to be Tarte's little secret.

Available at drugstores nationwide - $3.99

My husband has put his foot down and made it clear that he wants me to show a little bit more skin. He doesn't think I should dress like a street walker, but a mini skirt or booty shorts are definitely on his list of upcoming "necessary" purchases. But after most of the summer spent eating Dino's subs my the beach and enjoying just a little bit of color (re-applying SPF 50 every few hours, of course), my insides and outsides needs a detox before I'll be prancing around the pool in a tiny, polka dot bikini!


Enter Tone Daily Detox Purifying Body Wash with White Clay and Pink Jasmine ($3.99). This fabulously floral, light and creamy summer-scented wash helps to rinse away daily impurities on the skin and gently exfoliate dead skin cells, leaving skin feeling fresh and super soft. This summer weight moisturizing body wash also utilizes Vitamin E to nourish dry, dehydrated summer skin. My skin needs all the moisture it can get!

Must Try, Beauty Buy, You Decide: Multitasking Summer Cleansers

By TheGlamtastic · May 24, 2010 · 0 Comments ·
Must-Try:
Lets get real; I wish I had hours to primp in the morning, but those hours are lost answering emails and writing lists of to do's. With my overly hectic mornings, I need products that do all of the work for me, especially in the summer when humidity makes my skin feel like it just took a sludge bath.
This summer, I've found solutions to cleanse, exfoliate, nourish and heal my skin, while I take a quick shower and head off to work. My new favorite is Korres Materia Herba 3-in-1 cleansing emulsion. It's a liquid that transforms into a foam upon contact and when applied to the skin, I forget I have anything on at all. This 3-in-1 dissolves all traces of makeup, pollutants and daily impurities. This recipe of Certified Organic almond oil, Hamaleis flower water, Marigold extract and naturally derived Vitamin E work together to cleanse the skin, leaving it soft, nourished and glowing.  This naturally soothing multi-tasker is free of parabens, silicones, sulfates - LOVE THAT!

Beauty Buy:
Are you one of those women who needs her skin care products to smell like fresh fruits or florals and not like cleansers? Go for a fresh, fruity cleanser like Murad Vitalic Energizing Pomegranate Cleanser. This summer-inspired cleanser toner in one quickly washes away impurities. Witch Hazel is used to tone tighten pores, Copper energizes skin and a patented blend of pomegranate artemia extract renews dull skin. A foamy, lightweight multi-tasking cleanser - LOVE THAT!  

You Decide:
Can you minimize pores with a quick cleanse? Dr. Brandt Pores No More Cleanser is a mattifying cleanser that utilizes Salicylic Acid, Tea Tree Oli and Willow Bark for powerful over-the-counter results. But are you better off saving your money and spending it on a facial, where a professional will cleanse, exfoliate and extract dirt from each pore?

This cleanser is also free of sulfates, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals...who needs extra chemicals in their life! I know, I don't!
Do you think it's a beauty skin-saver or you should stick with the facialist?
