Jet Set Glo For Monday Morning

Due in no small part to the B train being held up "due to an earlier incident" I was super late into the office this morning. It's also Monday. Needless to say my outlook isn't, shall we say, "sunny" Actually it's pretty darn p-d off and pale.

Luckily I keep my go-to tinted moisturizer, Paula Dorf's Face Tint by my computer for days like this. The shade I'm reaching for today is called "Jet Set Glo" and as the name implies, is the bronziest color in the collection. The coverage is sheer and with a bit of glimmer so it's just the pick me up I need. I've tried and loved other tinted moisturizers, but what I especially like about this one is that it doesn't give you that artificial orange-tinged color that many bronzer tints do -- just luminous coverage. An important consideration for a pale face like moi.

It's PABA free and filled with anti-oxidants so it's super delicate on your skin. It's also, unlike other tinted moisturizers I've tried, really great for blending with foundation - I've used a little squirt and blended with a foundation brush for totally customized coverage. On a related note, you really can't beat a brush for applying foundation -- and Paula makes a great one. I'll have to post about that separately because the results are so outstanding it warrants further discussion.

Get your glow on here.

Here Comes The Sun

Photobucket

I’m always on the prowl for a natural looking bronzer, unfortunately most of what I come across makes me look like a Vegas showgirl reject.

Why do makeup companies think that women want to look like they’ve sneezed into a pot of gold craft glitter? Not flattering, especially on my older skin. That’s why I was thrilled to come across this matte bronzer from our friends at Beauty Addicts – Hydra Sunrays Matte Bronzing Powder contains no shimmer so your glow will look more natural for day. (Save the sparkles, if you're so inclined, for night.)

Better still, it contains Green Tea extract as well as Vitamins A, B5, C, D and E so it actually keeps your skin hydrated while wearing it.

Finally, a company that gets it – j’adore Beauty Addicts!

Find it on Amazon.
