I’m super excited to share with you guys that I will be attending this weekend’s In Style magazine Oscar viewing party! I’m so excited!! And because it really doesn’t get bigger than the Oscars, there is some serious pressure when planning to get ready!
Thankfully, there are a couple of products I have been trying that are perfect for helping me get ready. I already got a manicure yesterday, and I have my blowout and spray tan appointments all set. But I wanted to share a few other products I am using to prepare.
Clarisonic MIA Fit: This little device is a spin off from the original, created for the professional woman who is always on the go. It is an easier, more convenient way to get the Clarisonic benefits with a device that is small enough to throw in your bag for travel or even the gym. (They actually created the Alpha Fit men’s cleaning device and decided us girls needed an easy peasy version too!) This device uses Clarisonic’s ocillating technology to:
- Gently Remove everyday impurities, sunscreen and makeup for radiant, healthy looking skin
- Cleanses skin 6x better than hands alone
- Gentle enough to use twice a day
- Designed for all skin types
- Allow for better absorption of skincare products
- Gently clear skin of dead skin cells
Also great to note is the device is waterproof so it can be used in the shower. There are two speed settings, 60 second Delicate Cleanse to remove everyday impuritie and 80 second Power Cleanse for long-wear makeup removal (or refreshed feeling skin post-workout.) Also Includes extended cycle for cleansing on neck.
Zzz Quil: This might sound obvious, but to look my best, I need to be rested and lately I’ve had the worst sleeping habits. I am generally a morning person and I used to be up at 6am every day. I find I am far more productive in the morning than any other time of the day. But I’ve noticed I’ve gotten caught in a vicious cycle of allowing deadlines to keep me up til 12 or 1am, then by the time I fall asleep, I can’t get up in the morning until 7-8am. I’ve tried to get that under wraps, but my sleep pattern has just been all out of whack.
When that happens sometimes you gotta pull out the big guns and ZzzQuil is a non-habit forming sleep-aid for the relief of occasional sleeplessness that helps you fall asleep easily, sleep soundly, and wake refreshed. It’s not something you need to do all the time, but for those moments that you need to bring your A game (hello Oscars!) this is a great way to feel rested and refreshed.
Baby Foot: So I mentioned that I got a mani, but I actually didn’t have time to get a pedi too (remember those deadlines I mentioned?) which is where Baby Foot comes in.
Baby Foot is like a wrap for your feet (it comes as a plastic bootie) that exfoliates and removes dead skin cells that build up over time. It contains 17 types of natural extracts, which exfoliate and moisturize at the same time. The principal ingredient of Baby Foot is fruit acid, which is very gentle when compared with other acids. The fruit acid penetrates into the layers of dead skin cells and breaks down the desmosomes, which are what hold the layers of skin together. Through this process, skin is left undamaged and peels easily away from the fresh layer beneath. After peeling, your feet are reborn just like a baby’s, leaving you with healthy, beautiful feet.
- Dead skin cells will start to peel 3-7 days after your initial application. Do not forcibly remove the dead skin when peeling begins. It will exfoliate gently and naturally.
- In some instances, skin will become dry when peeling begins. If this occurs, moisturize lightly and sparingly with an oil-free beauty care product.
- Peeling time can vary from person to person and can take up to 2 weeks to complete.
- It is recommended to soak your feet for 30 minutes prior to application.
Capri by Vince Camuto: The final touch to my beauty look this Sunday, is of course a notice-me scent. One of my favorite perfumes is Vince Camuto Bella, so it’s no surprise that I love Capri. These fragrances just scream glamour, which is definitely Oscar appropriate. If I were to describe it, I would say it literally transports me back here.
I’m so in love with the packaging which similar to the Vince Camuto fragrance collection, but this one is a sea glass inspired bottle reminiscent of the Mediterranean’s blue waters. Some details on the frangrance notes: Top: Violet Leaves, Juicy Pear, Pink Grapefruit Mid: Red Frangipani, Peach Blossom, Violet Flower Base: Musk, Vanilla
Ok so those are some of the beauty products I am using to get ready. Make sure you follow me on snapchat (username: glamlatte) to see my dress and what makeup look I decide to go with!
