Red Carpet Ready Beauty Secrets

Millions of people enjoy tuning into the many award shows that take place throughout the year on television. They love to see the celebrities make their way down the red carpet, stopping to pose for the cameras and crowds. From the Grammys to the Globes, and now with the anticipation of the Oscars, we’re letting people know the secrets behind being red carpet ready. When it comes down to it, a lot of it all is about being prepared.

“I’m the type of person who is always prepared for any type of red carpet event,” said Gretchen Rossi, “Real Housewives of OC” alum and Creative Director of The Gretchen Christine Collection. “I keep a stash of goodies in my car and in my clutch, so I’m always prepared when doing media events. Savvy Travelers beauty wipes save me time and time again.”

Here are some red carpet beauty secrets that everyone can use:

Stay fresh. Opt for staying fresh and clean while on the go by keeping individually wrapped wipes on hand. You, your friend, or your publicist can keep them in their clutch and have them ready. This is a simple way to keep it classy. Savvy Travelers offers a variety of designer wipes that are individually wrapped and convenient.
Handle sweat. For that last-minute touch-up before stepping out of the limo and hitting the carpet for interviews, grab a No Sweat wipe and take care of that under-the-boob sweat that some of us are lucky enough to have. Also, keeping designer luxe beauty wipes on hand will help ensure there won’t be any white deodorant flakes on that designer Alexander Wang gown. The No Sweat wipes are also great for media interviews and working the red carpet. Like Manny on the Streetz from “On Air with Ryan Seacrest,” who uses a No Sweat wipe on his forehead and no longer had sweat looming under the red carpet lighting when he’s conducting interviews.
Kill germs. There is a lot of shaking hands as you walk down the red carpet, so be sure to have Klean Upz to the rescue. The convenient sanitizing wipes will help keep hands clean, moisturized, and will help keep all those germs at bay.
Freshen breath. Speaking with a lot of people as you make your way down the red carpet calls for having fresh breath. Don’t worry about that garlic you ate at dinner when you have a Speak Easy wipe handy. They offer a quick and convenient way to have fresh breath anywhere, and at anytime (and no one wants that embarrassing moment of having food in their teeth)!
Clean it off. Take Offz wipes will give you a quick and easy way to wash your face without water at the end of a long event. These wipes are a facial cleanser, toner, and moisturizer that removes waterproof and high definition stage makeup. They contain aloe vera, cucumber, vitamin E, chamomile, and botanical extracts.
Wipe it down. Everyone has to take some selfies to post on red carpet night. Keep an In The Klear wipe handy that can be used for quickly cleaning the camera lens on your phone. Never miss a chance to get a great selfie. These lint-free wipes are designed for cleaning camera lenses, screens, and glasses.

“By keeping a collection of individually wrapped beauty wipes in your clutch, you are ready for any situation that may come up as you enjoy the red carpet experience,” explains keynote speaker and serial entrepreneur, Tina Aldatz, chief executive officer of Savvy Travelers. “Not only will you look and feel beautiful, but you will smell great, curb the germs, and keep your confidence high.”

Savvy Travelers offers a Beauty Bundle Kit, which offers individually wrapped makeup removing wipes, mouth cleaning wipes, and antiperspirant wipes. Users can sign up for a bundle subscription kit that offers a three-month supply of wipes. All Savvy Travelers’ wipes are convenient, individually wrapped, biodegradable, compostable, and cruelty free.

Winter Fashion Survival: Wearing Bright Hues and Tones

To survive the remainder of winter, incorporate a bright hue into your fashion wardrobe. There’s something about the fluctuating weather and brisk air that makes us resort to earth tones. Although I adore wearing a taupe sweater, I opted for the Alex Malay Satin Pink Blazer instead of the traditional pieces.

Normally, I would style this blazer with a button-down, denim jeans, and quilted flats. I wanted to elevate the look and represent the upcoming warmer season.

The cranberry toned accessories evolved from owning a velvet hat, pointed toe boots, and bodysuit. White jeans are considered a faux pas but can brighten a look and accent the colors in your top or accessories.

How do you use fashion to brighten the cold season? What are your favorite colors and accessories?

RG Cosmetics Collagen Collection Hair System – Product Review

There are several items on the shelf that are expected to give customers beautiful hair. All of the hair care products are infused with essential nutrients that will stimulate the scalp to create healthy roots. One of the latest beauty vitamins is called Collagen. This is a protein used to enhance the skin but recently used in hair care products as well.

I had the opportunity to review RG Cosmetics, Collagen Collection Hair System. The system included a Shampoo, Mask, and Hair Midst. This was no ordinary product line!

It’s suggested to (first) use the mask , shampoo the scalp, and apply the midst to lock in the vitamins. After using the system I could immediately recognize results due to the softness of my hair strands. I am expecting to have healthier hair due to using this product consistently. Stay connected to my social media because I will share photos of my hair care progress very soon!

Yes, this product line can be used on all hair-types; whether straight or textured the Collagen Collection will transform your hair!

Take a look at the “Then & Wow” pictures below:

Make the Right Decision In Purchasing the Perfect Engagement Ring

If one finds himself in the market for an engagement ring there are a plethora of options to choose from and not only can designs be interweaved together to create the perfect stone but the whole process has only one downside, that of taking a long period of time in deciding what ring to purchase before the big day.

There are factors that should be taken into account when purchasing such an important item but fortunately enough there are some tips and tricks to take into account when making such a decision. Toronto engagement rings offer a wide array of products and not only are they of superior quality but they are also sure to last a lifetime.

Choose a Gemstone

There is a lot of hype when it comes to an engagement ring but we all consider its gemstone to be the centerpieces that will make any ring stand out if chosen appropriately. A lot of engagement rings feature a diamond as its main piece but there are also some other options that should be taken into account such as sapphires or rubies.

Diamonds and sapphires classify themselves as the most used gemstones when it comes to conferring a ring a lot of personality but they are also the hardest gemstones to work with. They score big in terms of durability as they will go through a lot of wear and tear throughout the years.

Ring Styles

When it comes to a ring’s style the possibilities are pretty much endless but no one can go wrong with either a sleek and modern design or a common vintage ring. Buying such rings will prove to be pretty hard so make sure you prospect the market three months before making the final purchase.

To make such decision less of a pain to deal with, one should go with a ring which is not too imposing in order to not stand out in a crowd too much but at the same time it should be elegant enough to wear it with a lot of pride.

Figure the Budget

There are no general rules that apply in terms of buying on a budget as they may vary from person to person but keep in mind the fact that if one wishes to acquire a custom designed ring it could be worth thousands and take a long time to manufacture.

The best bet is to spend whatever amount feels comforting to both members of the couple and there are some tips to make the right purchase by balancing its size with quality and they should come at a price that will work within the budget. One additional tip could be buying a lab-created diamond that will cost a lot less than a mined one.

Clarity-Enhanced Diamond Rings: Great Deals for Prices

Featured Photo From Variety.com

It’s a mouthful, but it’s true: a clarity-enhanced diamond engagement ring is a great deal for a great price.

In the summer of 2016, The Economist asked why Millennials aren’t buying diamonds. The answer is simple with a complicated reason: they can’t afford them. Many Millennials are college students, and tuition costs go up every year. And many jobs require experience, while entry-level jobs are becoming more scarce.

Get ready, Millennials, because we have more affordable alternatives.

Even better still, our diamonds are conflict-free. We understand that you have concerns about the environment and the well-being of the individuals who mine the diamonds. That’s why we ensure that all of our diamond vendors have ethical business practices.

If you are looking for affordable, conflict-free diamonds, then you’ve come to the right online store. Best Brilliance offers diamonds that can come in a variety of forms, including clarity-enhanced diamonds. Some are on necklaces, many are on rings, and you can even buy a loose diamond for later if you would rather have a hand-made band or find a less expensive band elsewhere.

A good diamond is usually certified, to show that it has certain attributes so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting. All of the diamonds at Best Brilliance are certified, so you won’t walk away feeling bamboozled because you thought your diamond would look different.

And now you’re wondering: how can our diamonds be less expensive but still high-quality?

The answer lies in clarity-enhanced diamonds. Getting an enhanced gem is your best bet for finding an affordable option for those of you who want to be traditional yet stay within your tight budget.

A clarity-enhanced diamond engagement ring is a great deal for a great price simply because enhanced diamonds, despite how their name may make them sound, are less expensive than more-natural diamonds.

Enhanced diamonds are gems that weren’t in perfect condition, but their minor defects were microscopically fixed. Much like getting a tooth filling, diamonds can be filled where they have tiny cracks or other problems. The end result is a diamond that looks flawless to the average viewer without the high price of a diamond that didn’t need any repairs. A very special type of scope is required in order to see where the filling has been done. In other words, you’ll have a dazzling diamond that looks expensive but was purchased at a fraction of the price of a standard diamond.

Unless someone with X-ray vision is your friend, then no one will know that your diamond didn’t originally look so beautiful and flawless. Through clarity enhancement, a great diamond becomes a wonderful one. No one will know how you were able to afford something so stunning. Let that be your little secret!

Prabal Gurung GTL from Hot Tools + Wella

INSPIRATION:

The evolution of the Prabal woman continues this season, evoking a strong and confident femininity that is juxtaposed by clean lines.

LOOK:

A modern take on the classic ponytail with textured tousled hair in the back that is complimented by a boyish look in front with clean combed over hair to create a play on the sexes.

GET THE LOOK:

· Prep the hair with WELLA EIMI Sugar Lift Sugar Spray layering it densely all over, and dry using the Hot Tools Tourmaline Turbo Ionic Dryer.

· Once it’s all dried in use the Hot Tools Soft Grip Paddle Cushion Brush to smooth it out and create a very deep side part on the left.

· Rub the WELLA EIMI Rugged Texture Matte Texturizing Paste into the crown to give it that sleek look.

· Push the front, right section of the hair towards the face, creating a small bump in the front. Break up the hair with fingers for that “lived-in” texture.

· Pull the hair back into a tight ponytail in the dead center of the back of the head.

· Wrap strands around the Hot Tools 1” CURLBAR (available later this month) in different directions, making it look very natural. Rub in the WELLA EIMI Sugar Lift Sugar Spray into the ponytail and break it up.

· Spray the WELLA EIMI Stay Firm Workable Finishing Hairspray all over to complete the sleek look. Let it sit. To finish, blow dry to keep ensure it holds.
