The Chella Brow and Eye Collection – Video

Brows have been under the beauty spotlight for quite some time now, and we don’t see them going anywhere soon. Whether they’re bleached, dyed or tinted, they may be ‘bushy groomed’ a la Cara D, or filled in and shaped causing a full frontal transformation. By now we know the perfect pick me up is a good brow job. When we have that perfect arch, matching color or perfect balance of natural and shaped, we can get an instant face lift.

The Chella Brow and Eye Collection has made this process easy for you by offering you the essentials to transform your face and maybe fix what you were left with after your wax appointment. Maybe you’re in between appointments and need to hide some unruly hairs, or you’re looking for an arch transformation – bad breakup, new look?

The Chella Brow Color Kit comes equip with a color defining brow pencil, brow gel to hold them in place even on the windiest day and highlighter pencil to make a good contour – Kim K contouring lesson with Chella? If you’re looking to venture for a whole new look, invest in the Chella Tool Kit for the full transformation with scissors, tweezers and a razor comb, that will hold nicely in a safe tool case.

Chella is all about making statements for those of us brave enough to keep our brows natural and fighting between Cara D and Lily Collins. The Chella Collection is also perfect for those of us that give our brows some more attention to make sure they don’t ever get out of place.

Product Review: JoJoba Antioxidant Hydrating Mist and CapriClear Coconut Oil Spray

Hydrating, Antioxidant, Sensitive to Skin, Dermatologist Formulated…all of the words that describe JoJoba Mist and CapriClear Coconut Oil Spray.  I received both sprays in the mail for a product review.

My skin care regimen includes using a quality cleanser and moisturizer before bedtime.  I decided to replace my normal face lotion with the JoJoba Antioxidant Hydrating Mist.  Honestly, I can’t live without this product!  It’s a light face mist with an all natural scent.  My skin had a radiant glow with the appearance of leaving a spa appointment.

The CapriClear Coconut Oil Spray (just like the name) is 100% all natural ingredient.  I like to use this product on areas that need restoration such as the scar on my leg or the stretchmark on my thigh.  I’m still actively using this product for results and it’s the perfect after shower spray.

Sally Hansen and NYC New York Colors for Spring 2015

The nail polish you already love just got better! Millions of women know that Sally Hansen® Insta-Dri™ nail polish gives them a quick-drying, high-shine manicure that lasts. Now, an improved formula delivers extended wear and enhanced shine — still with the one stroke, one coat convenience that has made Insta-Dri a cult favorite since 2009.

Insta-Dri’s three-in-one formula combines base coat, color, and top coat in one bottle, making it even easier to have a glossy manicure in a minute. It dries in just 60 seconds, creating full-coverage color and shine without the wait.

Along with an improved formula, Insta-Dri also features 14 new, must-have shades that incorporate the season’s standout runway trends. Rich chocolate and champagne add cashmere-like coziness to any manicure. Or go bold with fiery tones of red and orange — three different hues allow you to turn up the intensity as much as you like. Lilac, cherry, and plum tap into fall’s purple moment, while blue and teal provide a cooling effect. Meanwhile, the season’s new neutrals (think: the inkiest black, steel gray) are the nails’ answer to Normcore. These anything-but-boring basics prove that colors don’t need to shout to stand out. And with 40 total fast-drying shades to choose from, there’s no shortage of variety.

Even the appearance of Insta-Dri is getting a boost. A new, sleek logo freshens up the packaging for a more contemporary style — a fitting look for a nail polish made for today’s on-the-go pace.

 

THE SHADES: Re-teal Therapy, Plummet, In Nude-tral, Cherry Fast, Navy Fleet, Show Steel-er, Making Mauves, Leapin’ Lilac, Black to Black, Ablazing!, Quick Fire, Set Sail, Cocoa A Go Go, Orange Zest
