May 1st, 2012 by Belle

We are huge fans of P&G here at Fashionable Media. And we know that their brands such as Olay, Cover Girl, Pantene and more all make the most have beauty products. Did you know these facts about them however? They have….

  • Earned 155 awards—and counting—from leading beauty editors over the past five years
  • Been awarded a staggering 82 Allure Best of Beauty and Readers’ Choice awards over the past two years, illustrating that – not only do beauty editors love our products – so do women across the country!

All the beauty experts agree that their brands deserve the recognition that they receive. Gurus like Pat McGrathBruce Grayson and Danilo  all swear by these products to the the latest red carpet and runway looks. And they have divulged their list of beauty must-haves so that anyone can build an award-winning beauty regimen.

Pat McGrath’s favorite product is the Cover Girl lash blast mascara and we agree! This mascara never clumps and always looks great for any occasion.

Dr. Sarah Vickery’s favorite product is the Cover Girl & Olay 2n1 foundation and primer. I honestly love this product. It is light and airy without covering your face in grease.

Danilo’s favorite product is the Restore Beautiful Lengths smoothing cream. We have never tried this product, but it is getting awesome reviews from everyone!

Claire Girdler’s favorite product is the Venus razors. And my P&G beauty staples would have to be the Venus Embrace razors. These razors are totally awesome and give you a nice clean shave without harming your sensitive skin. I swear by these razors and Venus is the only brand that I use. (Review coming soon!)

And don’t forget, it is the perfect time to update your beauty regiment! Through the end of this month, P&G is offering a $15 rebate with the purchase of $50 worth of any Venus, Olay, Secret, CoverGirl, Clairol, Herbal Essences, Aussie, Head & Shoulders, Pantene, and Crest 3D White products.

3 Simple Steps For Sexy, Loose Waves – Perfect For Spring!

April 30th, 2012 by Belle

Waves with lots of boy and shine are perfect for spring weather. And celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence are always wearing this look, but you don’t need a  to stylist to get these gorgeous loose waves. All you need is a thermal protector, flat iron and shine serum to style at home and these awesome tips below!

Step 1: Before styling, spritz on a powerful thermal protector like Davines MELU Thermal Protecting Shield on to dry hair to prevent the damaging effects of high-heat styling. Vanessa Fernandez of Butterfly Studio Salon, says that “heat protecting sprays not only protect hair from the heat of the iron but to also create a shinier look.” ($31 at www.davines.com)

Flat irons create a more natural looking wave and will not leave a crimp on hair the way a curling iron clamp will do. ONE’s Crush 1 Inch Flat Iron ($80 at www.onestyling.com) delivers salon-like results while eliminating the appearance of unwanted static and frizz using tourmaline technology.

Step 2: Begin by parting hair into sections and working layer by layer. Take a one inch section of hair, clamp the flat iron midway and twist your wrist inwards towards your head. Quickly slide the flat iron down the entire section of hair like you are straightening it. Maintain this position and then twist inwards once again at the ends to make sure they are not left straight. Work quickly to ensure that curls are loose and wavy. The longer time you spend sliding the iron over the hair, the tighter the curls will become. Continue on until all sections of your hair have been curled.

Step 3: Once the style is complete, add high shine and an extra barrier against frizz with Philip B. Anti-Frizz Formula 57 Lavender, Jojoba, Rice Bran and Soybean Oils lend hair a perfect dose of conditioning moisture that give lightweight definition, movement and shine without added weight. One drop is all you will need for a gorgeous frizz-free finish. ($35 at www.philipb.com)

Happy Spring!!

Laura is know for her awesome makeup creations and she has added a great new product to her line: Oil Free Suprême Foundation, available in stores in April.

This oil-free lightweight formula gives skin ultimate coverage while gliding evenly on. Not only is this product silicone-free, fragrance free, it is also non-greasy. It glides evenly onto the skin. And has a soft finish that is long-lasting that feels so comfortable on the skin.

The key ingredients:

· Aloe Bardadens – soothes and refresh skin.
· Green Tea Leaf Extract – provides antioxidant and astringent properties.
· Vitamin E – provides moisturizing properties.
· Vitamin A – provides antioxidant and moisturizing capabilities and helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
· Panthenol – a hydrating agent that improves skin’s natural moisture balance.
· Silica – porous mineral absorbs oils, visibly smoothes skin.

I had a chance to try it and I was thrilled. I *cough* generally don’t wear alot of makeup because it cakes my face and I keep having to re-apply it, but I was so pleased with this! It is exactly what it is claimed to be and I love it!

It’s quite easy to apply and it is thick so Laura recommends that you shake well before using and apply to face with Laura’s Foundation Sponge or fingertips. For best results, use with a Foundation Primer.

It comes in twelve different shades: (Porcelain Ivory, Blush Ivory, Warm Ivory, Sunny Beige, Vanilla Beige, Golden Beige, Shell Beige, Tawny Beige, Honey Beige, Suntan Beige, Toffee Bronze, Rich Sienna) so you are sure to find one that is perfect for you. 

$42.00 for a 1 oz./29 ml bottle. You can find it wherever beauty products are sold in April.

Stages of Beauty Skin Care is a great brand of skin care products that is an new all-natural, anti-aging skincare brand, the first beauty line that’s organized by age and designed to meet the ever-changing needs of a woman’s skin throughout her life.

Created and scientifically formulated under the guidance of Jasmina Aganovic, an MIT-trained Chemical and Biological Engineer, Stages of Beauty offers four lines, each formulated to address the hormonal changes/needs of your skin at every age; 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s+. After having one too many adverse reactions to skincare products with ingredients that were too harsh for her young skin, Jasmina went to work to create a skincare line that would give women a straightforward and knowledgeable approach to beauty.

Most of us girls need the RADIANCE line (for women in their 20s). It focuses on preventative care, repairing and protecting skin against environmental damage and free radicals.

Each line includes the:

Cleanser
Scrub
Serum
Toner
Treatment Cream
and Anti-aging treatment

Unique ingredients like: Monk’s Pepper Berry, African Red Tea, Pomegranate Seed, Bamboo, Ayurvedic ingredients, and other all natural ingredients help to protect, restore, and nourish your skin.

I had a chance to try the Radiance line and I love it! The products aren’t greasy at all and they are so light-weight and nourishing! I haven’t noticed a major change in my skin, but then again my skin is pretty clear/soft already. I did however notice that dark circles and other things have vanished so that is a huge plus for me!

If you are looking for an all natural skin care line that protects your skin while still being oh-so easy to use then for more information visit- Stagesofbeauty.com

It is no secret that I am addicted to my lip products. But here is a list of my favorite lip products that are all under twenty-five dollars! Budget friendly and perfect for the average gal these are all awesome products.

Burt’s Bees Lip Products

I have used Burt’s Bees products ever since I was in grade school and even now I still love them. They are 100% good for you and never fail to work their wonders.

Softlips Pearl Lip Gloss

This soft frosty pink lip gloss is perfect for any event. It doesn’t chap your lips rather it only protects them from harmful sun rays as well as making them look perfect.

EOS Lip Balm

Is it any secret that I am EOS’s biggest fan? I pretty much only use their lip balm and I gave them out as gifts this Christmas. Their lip balm is good for you and it makes your lips look and feel amazing.

tarte Lip Tint

I love tarte’s products. And their lip tints are probably the most awesome product that they have made (besides their foundation!) and with so many different colors to choose from you are sure to find a awesome match. Your lips will be left fuller, softer, and more supple then ever.

CoverGirl Lipstick

I have yet to try the new CoverGirl blast lipstick, but I am a huge fan of all their old brands and I know that this one is going to be awesome as well!

What are your favorite lip products?
