Smashbox Fusion Soft Lights: Baked Starburst

Smashbox Fusion Soft Lights, Baked StarburstI’ve had the opportunity to sample so many different amazing bronzers lately. One of these days I’ll have to publish a summary of them all!

I’d say that one of the most amazing of the bunch is Fusion Soft Lights in Baked Starburst, but smashbox would prefer you not call this product a bronzer! This powder is comprised of pie-slices of 5 different shades of bronze, making skin look tanned and radiant. Apply by swirling the colors together, or use each individually. The individual shades are ideal for creating a bronze eye, or highlighting the cheeks/brow bone.

When you fall in love with Fusion Softlights–and I know you will–be sure to check out the new shade released named "Baked Sunburst", heading your way this April!

Fusion Softlights in Baked Starburst retails for $30, and can be found at smashbox or Sephora.com.  While you’re perusing the smashbox website, be sure to check out their beauty tips, solving common problems from how to create the perfect cat eye to how to de-puff post party!

NIA 24- Niacin Powered Skin Therapy

Niacin Skincare, NIA24I am a bit fanatical about skin care.  I slather on sunscreen at least once daily.  I cleanse every morning and night.  I exfoliate at least twice a week.  I moisturize.

But the truth is, I am a recovering tanorexic.  While strolling around campus in the early 90s, I caught a glimpse of my reflection in a window, and was horrified.  I looked to be part of LeStat’s entourage.

That one event kicked off a spree of tanning bed sessions in the middle of the winter.  20 minute minimum?  Hell no, turn that timer up to 30!

NIA24 is a skincare line that utilizes Niacin to repair and fight the visible signs of sun damage (what you and I know of as "aging").  Why Niacin?  When Niacin is expertly delivered deep into the skin, it stimulates DNA repair and helps build the skin barrier from the inside out.  That’s what I love about this line…  NIA24 knows you’ve sinned, forgives you and works with you to repair the damage you did in your youth.

Upon beginning to cleanse with NIA24, I broke out!  But don’t stress if this happens to you, breakout can temporarily occur as your skin adjusts to the increased Niacin.  The breakouts clear quickly, but don’t start this regimen the week of your wedding!

NIA24’s Gentle Cleansing Cream has the consistency of a mask, it’s so amazingly rich.  Jet-setters, rejoice!  This cleanser doesn’t even require water to rinse off!  You can simply remove it with a tissue, if you need to cleanse during your red-eye flight. 

My personal favorite product from the line thus far is the Sun Damage Prevention 100% Mineral Sunscreen, a UVA/UVB SPF 30 with a matte finish.  The mineral formula has an almost powdery consistency, excellent for wear under foundation.  Added Vitamin E helps keep skin soft and beautiful!

Note:  The author used these products prior to becoming pregnant!  Please check with your doctor if you are pregnant, before beginning this regimen!

Jaqua Beauty: NEW Hand Soaps!

Jaqua Beauty, Pink Buttercream Frosting, Hand SoapI heard from the team at Jaqua that their latest launch was inspired by their customers.  Turns out, Jaqua loyalists had been using their incredibly moisturizing shower syrups and shower cremes as hand soaps!  (Upon learning this, I was immediately horrified that I hadn’t thought of doing the same).

Available in Pink Buttercream Frosting (scented like a birthday cake) and Pink Champagne (a citrusy effervescent scent), these hand soaps by Jaqua are incredibly gentle on the skin.  Infused with fruit and plant extracts, Vitamin A, C, E and aloe; this hand soap leaves hands both feeling soft and smelling divine. 

Each handsoap is available in an 8.5 oz. size, and retails for $14 at Jaqua Beauty.
