Happy Feet with Skyy Hadley and Lauren B Beauty!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Quick note to share a guest post with you on how to get an amazing pedicure at home! This will save you some summer cash while getting you a party ready pedicure!

Enjoy!

·         Skyy Hadley, owner of As U Wish Salon, knows how walking around every day in the summer heat can take a toll on your feet. Pamper them with these at-home pedicure tips!

·         After removing nail polish and spraying feet with an antiseptic, soak feet in water and milk. Adding milk is a crucial step as water can strip skin of moisture and leave feet drier. Milk naturally exfoliates and nourishes the skin and it’s right in your refrigerator.

·         Lightly shape the toenails by cutting nails back slightly and massaging toes and feet with cream or oil. After feet have soaked for a few minutes, push back the cuticles – do NOT cut them. Cutting them creates more hangnails and can even lead to infection.

·         Lightly buff the nail plate while it is still moist with a cuticle cream or conditioner. Then buff the skin on your feet by applying a foot scrub and massaging the formula deep into the skin, concentrating on trouble spots. To really smooth things over, use a diamond file (avoid pumices as they trap bacteria) on particularly rough patches like the heel and ball of the foot.  

·         To maintain and prolong color, use a primer on the nails first. This step actually dehydrates the nail by bringing the natural oils out, making color grip longer. After applying color, add a top coat. Three days later, apply a top coat again to prevent color from chipping.

Spring Break skin care: Neutrogena gets you clean & sun protected

Hello Spring Breakers! Are you beach side for your spring break like me?

 Neutrogena has 2 products that just may make your spring break a bit easier! First, the grapefruit scented oil free cleansing wipes are perfect for a quick cleanse in the morning, or after a surf lesson at the beach and before you go to bed at night. They don't sting your eyes, remove and deep clean the skin preparing it for your favorite Neutrogena moisturizer.

To keep your skin sun safe and skin tone even at the same time, try the Neutrogena healthy skin foundation with spf 50. For me it applied like a creamy tinted moisturizer with just enough coverage to even out my skin tone but not look like a full face of makeup. In my situation it made for a quick touch up to go from beach side fun to a great restaurant and maybe it can do the same for you too!

Get your favorite Neutrogena brands at Walmart, Target, or mass retailers near you! The products are in the $10.00 range so you can have more money for fun on your spring break!

NYC Big Bold Lip Gloss in Extra Large Latte-perfect for spring break beach looks!

My spring break beauty on the beach NYC Big Bold plumping lip gloss in Extra Large Latte.

Super slickery on the lip with a wee tingle of plumping. I have worn it alone as well as over a lipstick and with liner-either way I wore it, the look was perfect for the spring break beach look I'm wearing.

Lumene BB Cream for Spring Break skin care & makeup

 Hello Gorgeous!
Well, it's the beginning of our spring break vacation to the beautiful beaches of Southern California.
I am using my Lumene BB Cream in Light for going to the beach, then touching up when we go out to eat and then a wee dab more to layer protection as we bike ride on the strand before winding up somewhere for dinner.

At that point, I can put a bit of powder and add some eyeliner with bronzer to take my daytime beach protection and natural makeup look to more of a dressier going out look. The Lumene BB creme wears well under sweat and sun, is a bit streaky when I first apply and needs a bit of blending and massaging into the skin. Though once it's on, it's on! It's easy to buy Lumene products, just visit your local CVS!
