“It’s difficult enough as it is to fit everything you need for a weekend getaway or midweek work trip into a carry-on suitcase so when it comes to your beauty bag, less is always more. To prevent lugging around a vanity full of products, look for things that can pull double-duty; a oil for hair AND body, a cosmetics bag that doubles as clutch – you get the idea. Also, keep in mind that paring down should not mean giving up quality. Splurge on luxe minis, you and your hair will be much happier. Here are 5 travel bag upgrades you should make asap.” written by DEANNA MCCORMACK

Wearing a shade of nude or neutral nail polish is considered to be the latest beauty trend. Nude shades are very popular because they coordinate with any look. This particular nail polish hue also accents the hands while giving the appearance of longer nails.
Zoya shared their nude collection earlier today on Instagram. The gorgeous array of shades will compliment any skin tone.

Beauty Tip: Use a hair dryer directly on the nails for a quick finish!

I was thrilled to visit Talk of Alabama and share beauty tips on a budget. With so many products in stores one has to ask, “are they budget-friendly?”
There’s also a misconception that one must spend hundreds of dollars to look amazing. This is not a true statement!
Beauty can be accomplished with a $10 purchase; we must use self-awareness and research our individual needs. For example, I suffer from eczema and constantly seeking products that will retain hydration and reduce skin irritation.
The products I shared on ABC 33/40 included Remington Electric Shaver, Banana Boat Summer Color Self-Tanning Lotion, Revlon Pedi-Expert Pedicure Kit, Self-Tanning Towlettes, EOS Evolution of Smooth Lip Balm, Spa@Home Oxygen Bubble Sheet Mask, ORLY Breathable Treatment + Color, Aquation Gentle Moisturizing Cleanser, Aloe Glow Organic Water, Coconut Beach Water, Brahmin Travel Tote, and Clear Cosmetics Bags.
All of the beauty products listed can be purchased at Ulta, Amazon or a local drugstore.
Personally, my favorite product is the Revlon Pedi-Expert Pedicure Kit. This is a must-have item and I will explain more during the lifestyle segment.

Summer Beauty on a Budget Segment
Swimsuit season is in full swing and luckily Elle Macpherson’s nutritionist, Dr. Simone Laubscher, is offering her top tips to minimize cellulite and say hello to silky smooth skin with the help of WelleCo.
1. Stay Hydrated: The more water you drink, the less water you hold. Drink two liters of water each day infused with cucumber shavings, lemon and mint to help your body let go of water retention.
2. Balance your Hormones: When your hormones are out of balance, your body tends to hold more water due to excessive estrogen, which can worsen cellulite. Balance your hormones without increasing acidity in the body with the WelleCo Super Elixir Nourishing Protein.
3. Go Alkaline: The more acidic you are, the more toxins and water you will hold. Add two teaspoons of theWelleCo Super Elixir Alkalzing Greens in 250ml of water to bring your body on the fast-track to living alkaline.
4. Reduce Caffeine: This can be a tough one, but it’s important to try and limit your caffeine intake to one cup each day. Swap your coffee for herbal teas that contain ingredients such as lemon, ginger and dandelion, which are great for cellulite reduction.
5. Dehydrate the Cellulite: Use a compress of iced tea, seaweed or mud wraps on areas of your body that have cellulite to dehydrate and improve the appearance of cellulite.
Who: Rimmel London Ambassador Cara Delevingne at the 2016 Comic Con Panel for Suicide Squad
The Look: Feminine with an edge
The Inspiration: Celebrity Makeup Artist Molly R. Stern wanted the actress, supermodel and Rimmel London Ambassador to look feminine with an outline of a “comic con” edge. To compliment Cara’s outfit, Molly focused on a really strong blue eye and beautiful glowing skin.
How to Get the Look:
SKIN
To begin, Molly prepped Cara’s skin with a refreshing spritz of Caudalie Beauty Elixir and then massaged in Oxygen Serum by Natura Bisse. Next, she applied the oxygen cream by Natura Bisse.
Molly applied Rimmel London BB Cream Matte in Medium to give her a sheer glow. Then, she softly contoured her cheeks and flushed her apples using the Rimmel London Sculpting and Highlighting Kit by Kate Moss in Golden Bronze.
LIPS
Molly painted on Rimmel London Provocalips 16HR Kissproof Lip Color in Dare to Pink for a soft, nude-y pink finish.
EYES & BROWS
On the eyes, Molly first applied a thin layer of Scandaleyes Shadow Stick in Bluffing on the entire lid. She then lined with eye with a combo of electric blue using the Magnif’eyes Double Ended Shadow and Liner in Dark Side of Blue and turquoise using the Scandaleyes Shadow Stick in Teasing Turquoise. To finish off, the smoked out her lower lash line with a taupe shadow.
To enhance her gorgeous brows, Molly used the Rimmel London Brow This Way Sculpting Kit in Blonde. Next, she applied 2 coats of the Rimmel London Volume Flash Super Speed Mascara in Extreme Black.
After having kids and experiencing life changes, we all have stretch marks. This is a sensitive topic (for women) because it’s difficult to find a product that reduces the appearance of uneven skin and imperfections.
As a blogger, I will admit that I’ve tested a few drugstore products. The best advice I can share is to create a “stretchmark” regimen and be patient when seeking results.
Review:
I was asked to review the Stretchmark Minimizing Cream from Belli Skincare. The company’s known for creating products that support pregnancy and early motherhood. According to the site, ” while expecting their first child, the founders of Belli became very discouraged trying to find safe and effective skincare. This prompted the husband and wife team to marry their expertise, Medical Doctor and Beauty Expert, and develop the trifecta of maternity skincare – ingredient safety, effective solutions with clinically proven ingredients, and luxurious formulations with aromatherapy to provide a spa-like experience.”
After reviewing the product, I am happy to share this is an amazing cream! The texture is light with visible appearances of hydration. It’s stated (on the company site) that the minimizing cream has natural ingredients and helps to even out the skin tone. It also smells nice and can be applied anytime during the day. I have used the product for a few weeks and confident it will provide wonderful results!
The cream can be purchased online or in store at Nordstrom and Ulta.com See more information about the product below:
Stretchmark Minimizing Cream from Belli Skincare (www.belliskincare.com), which is specially formulated to decrease the appearance of existing stretchmarks of any age, regardless of the cause? The Cream features darutoside & regisstril, ingredients shown in research studies conducted by Phybiotex Labs, Sederma Group, France, 1997 to visibly reduce the appearance of stretch mark depth by up to 72% and stretch mark length by up to 52%.
