Spring Summer Fashion Trends 2016

If you know anyone with a birthday coming up sometime before August 23rd, than you have a Leo to shop for. As you can imagine someone represented by the element Fire might be, Leos are passionate and determined, courageous and strong. They won’t back down from a situation, even if it means coming off as a little strong willed. But that doesn’t mean they’re not kind and generous. In fact, Leos are known to be incredibly caring! It’s their passion that fuels this caring side, so if they really love something, you’ll hear about it.

They’re also humorous and clever. When it comes to material objects, some astrologists even say they like a good splurge and lavish gifts – think about the luxury that’s often associated with a lion. But many 2016 horoscopes suggest Leos be a little more mindful of their budgets as they build their careers and follow their dreams – so if your Leo friend is trying to pinch pennies, you’d totally make her day with something as fancy as Tatcha Gold Beauty Oil or the Protect The Lions Eye Palette. Check out all the latest eBay coupon codes, promo codes & discounts for 2016

With a Leo birthday being in the thick of summer, it seemed only natural to go with a warm summer glow as a theme. Whether shopping for a friend or as a little birthday gift for yourself (go for it!), there’s no doubt that a bronze look is one of the best ways to celebrate your August events.

Lastly, if the Leo on your shopping list is not only brave and passionate but loves a bit of drama (talking makeup here), luxe false lashes, spiked earrings, or an ombre sunset bronzer palette are thoughtful, inspired choices. Who doesn’t love receiving a gift that fits their personality to a T? No one’s better at that than your besties!

Birthday or not, which pick is your fave? Happy birthday, lovely Leos!

Hi everyone! Have any of you used an ice roller before? If not, I thought I’d share this handy little graphic explaining what they are and how to use them:

If you’ve heard of ice cube facials, cold therapy or even de-puffing your eyes with cucumber (thinkway back), then you’re already familiar with how an ice roller works. Made popular by Korean beauty experts and in spas around the world, this cooling treatment for skin is a super simple, non-invasive way to get that instant reset – and maybe even reduce some fine lines and blemishes too. Though it looks a bit similar to a derma roller, this handy device is actually often used to soothe skin post-derma and other cosmetic procedures. Not to mention it’ll instantly wake you up after an all-nighter – whether you spent it studying or socializing.

Prices range from about $15 to $70, but most will run you somewhere in between. You can purchase the trending stainless steel Revive Professional Ice Roller from Vanity Planet andHansderma Skincool Ice Roller + Esarora Ice Roller from Amazon or eBay.com. Save Up To 65% OFF eBay Today's Top Deals + FREE Shipping.

Ah, the T-Zone. That area of your face that makes up your forehead, nose, and chin is often the problem area for acne and oily skin. But even if you don’t break out there, you still might get a little shiny once in a while. It’s a delicate balance between achieving that much sought-after dewy look and looking totally reflective, so try these simple steps to get rid of unwanted shine and get you looking your best.

Salt & water - Just like other beauty products you can nab from your kitchen pantry, a mix of salt and water can do the trick for your t-zone. Make a paste with equal parts of the two ingredients, apply it to your face for a few minutes, and wash away with warm water. Because salt is pretty drying, I wouldn’t recommend using this solution more than once a week.

Witch hazel - Witch hazel is a natural astringent, so it helps absorb dirt and oil. Dab a little on a cotton ball and apply to your t-zone. This one from Thayers has a sweet rose petal scent and aloe vera so you don’t dry out too much. If you don’t have witch hazel, rubbing alcohol will work too.

Blotting sheets – Oil blotting sheets are compact and portable, and in a pinch they’re a great way to help reduce that unwanted shine. These mint sheets from Sephora add a perfect cooling effect for the summertime. Just dab them to the area and you’ll get a matte effect right away. Save on health, beauty, toys and more and Up To 10% OFF On Select Items With eBay Coupon Extras 

If you’ve read my post on the different types of makeup brushes to have in your arsenal, you know that these days there’s a lot to choose from. Flat, angled, firm – there’s a distinct brush for each and every type of makeup product there is. But do you need to spend $20+ on a single makeup applicator to get flawless results? Many of us wear makeup in some form or another each and every day – you don’t want something that will let you down after only a few months.

Makeup brushes have come along way in recent years. You’d be surprised at just how well some of the cheaper makeup brushes work in helping you achieve your coveted beauty looks! Just because something has a hefty price tag does not mean it’s the most effective. At the same time, the splurge can indicate that a beauty brush is higher quality than others – it can depend.

The first thing you need to know about makeup brushes is that there are two types: synthetic vs. natural. Synthetic are made of manmade materials while natural brushes are made of animal hair. Both have pros and cons to them and a lot of it has to do with personal preference and the brand used. At this point, manmade brushes can mimic real hair pretty well, so don’t be too worried if you can’t (or don’t want to) get your hands on the natural kind.

Make Up For Ever’s brushes are consistently among the top rated for beauty brushes, and they fit right in the middle in terms of cost. They’ve used years of research to figure out how to replicate natural hairs for the precision you want. Sure, they’re about $30+ each, but the brand has over 75 styles of brushes just in the Artisan Collection alone, and unless you’re a professional makeup artist (or beauty guru!), you just need a few staples. Enjoy Up To 10% OFF On Select Items With eBay Coupon Extras.

With most brushes, you’ll get a better deal by purchasing in a set. At Sephora you can choose whether you want a classic eight-brush set for $62 or their killer 27 professional grade brushes for $445 – and everything in between. So if you are thinking of splurging, you might want to consider the savings of a set.

What other luxury beauty brushes make the cut? Both single brushes, Sephora Collection Pro Flawless Light Powder Brush 50 and bareMinerals Blooming Blush Brush, were ranked in Allure’s Best of Beauty last year, and are great for everyday use. Then you have Kabuki brushes, like inSigma’s 5 piece Kabuki Kit, which are ideal for all types of product, meaning you can use the brushes for different purposes.

With beauty sponges more versatile than ever, you might not even need brushes for face makeup – though it’s always nice to have backup. And, as expensive as some of these are, as long as youproperly care for your makeup brushes, they can truly stand the test of time.

Color play — Normally with lipstick, what you see is what you get. But these companies are pushing boundaries with color, before and after you apply. Illamasqua’s Limited Edition Lava Lip – Marble Lipstick blends pinks and purples into a stunning marbled pattern. How does it look once it’s applied? The main color here is pink, while some areas will have an ombre fade into a darker purple shade. Frog Prince Lipstick from Lipstick Queen is another bold lip option — because it’s a bright green lipstick. But, like its namesake frog prince, this lipstick has a secret. Within seconds of applying, the lipstick reacts to the heat of your skin, and turns into a rosebud pink.

Heavy metals – There’s not a more perfect time for metallic makeup than summer. Eyeshadows and nail colors are the least risky ways of trying this trend out, but for the daring, there’s metallic lipcolor. The Wicked Lippies line from NYX has an amazing shimmery shade that turns your pout a glistening gold. And then there’s Heavy Metal by Ka’oir — a wet, silvery lipgloss with a high-shine, long-lasting mirror finish.

On the surface – Colors aren’t the only way lipsticks are pushing boundaries. They’re also playing with texture beyond the old glossy versus matte. This Melted Matte Liquified Lipstick from Too Faced glides on smoothly like a gloss, but dries matte. This way, you get a flawless application with the opaque, color-rich matte finish that lasts for hours. What about something low-maintenance that you only have to apply once? Once this matte-finish Lip Stain from Milk Makeup goes on, it stays all day. That’s because it penetrates the skin’s top layer, giving you a boldly colored lip that doesn’t require too many touch ups.

When matte lips first started trending, who could have guessed that the look would become a staple in so many beauty routines? A matte lip adds a surprising element to your visage, and it can dress up a casual outfit or make your dressier looks more bold. What’s more, a nude matte lip offers up a way to keep your makeup au naturel, without shying away from a little fun.
Want to get the look? Here’s how it’s done!
1. The first step, and sometimes the most fun step, to any makeover is of course, choosing product. While face makeup is notoriously difficult to find in the ideal nude shade, with lip color, you have a lot more options. ColourPop’s Ultra Matte Lip comes in tons of shades, and there are even several neutrals and nudes. bareMinerals Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lipstick comes in 14 lightweight shade. Lastly, NARS Velvet Matte lip pencil can do no wrong.
2. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you want fresh, long lasting color… You must exfoliate! If you haven’t ventured into the world of lip scrubs yet, indulge in a delicious “flavor” like sparkling pink grapefruit.
3. Next up in the lip color prep, it’s time to moisturize. Lip balm will help seal in that smooth finish. Jouer has a lip conditioner that will do the trick. Save Up To 90% OFF Daily Deals + Extra 10% OFF eBay Sales & Coupons. Redeem this eBay coupon code 2016 for savings now! 4. Choose a lip liner that matches your natural lip color. Anything too dark will show up, especially on a nude.
5. Fill in those lips with your product of choice! Try using a lip brush for easier and more accurate application.
6. When finished, give it a little blot and a dusting of translucent powder to set it for the day.
