@bufferingbetty

And we have a Neon Summer Ahead!

Summer beauty release have stolen our wallets year after year. 2019 is no different. What is different are the releases! Neon, bold, and beautiful. The beauty industry is growing. It feels like everyday there is a new brand that maybe doesn’t actually offer anything that is actually new. So these brands stepped their game up to put out some palettes + lippies that will jump off the screen and into your vanity.

Remember Miley’s twerk + raver days. OK, now imagine Miley was 90 years old. That is instagramer @Baddiewinkle in a nutshell (without all the cultural appropriation).

The nearly 91 year old influencer has partnered with Inc.Redible for a 3 piece collab that include a boobie mask! Her IG bio says “stealing your man since 1928,” and I believe her.

Beauty's Highly Reviewed Sun Protection May Not Be What You Expected

@bufferingbetty

You tyrna look forever young or nah?

Real talk: Are you trying to postpone wrinkles as long as you can? If you’re not engaging with SPF, you’re not doing anything to prevent signs of aging. Play games and you’ll crinkle up sooner than you think. Wrinkles make you look dignified. But when they appear at an age that some would say is too young, well, dignified becomes “Ay, bendito,” in a blink. Here is some sun protecting skin care products that have been reviewed a wild amount of time from some of your favorite retailers. Hoping this will help you get to picking the right one for yourself.

With all this glow, you might have let the gleaming light distract you from a hiccup that happened with this upcoming launch. Before it even took off, Fenty Beauty had to pull a Killawatt Foil Freestyle Highlighter for it’s offensive name. @Trendmood1 reported Fenty removed a shade called Geisha Chic. Many followers considered it an act of cultural appropriation because it dawned the name of a part of Japanese culture while Rihanna is not Japanese. Fenty Beauty is known for it’s inclusivity so absorbing culture was offensive. What do you think about this? Let us know in the comments below!

Basic Skincare Guide: Men Summer 2018

@bufferingbetty

Clean up + Glow up

A friend asked for skin care advice focusing on the basics with extra attention paid to protection from sun exposure + and clearing blackheads.

The actual message I sent him on facebook with an apology because I don't think he knew what he was getting himself into when he asked for 'basic' skin care advice.

You: male, normal skin, late 20s, morning shower person, more likely to shop at the drugstore or stores like Target + Walmart
Job: outside most of the day
Concerns: clearing blackheads, sun protection
Skin care Knowledge:slim to none

Will not spend more than 2 minutes on skin care

Since his skin gets a lot of sun exposure, skin care is important for making sure he is comfortable with how his skin looks and feels. 

Key Skin Care Steps:

Exfoliate
Cleanse
Hydrate
Protect
Lip balm 

Brands to check out:

These brands are gentle and great for sensitive skin. Usually no harsh perfumes
-Aveeno (the positively radiant line is my favorite)
-Simple

Exfoliate:

It gets off all the dead skin and helps clear out blocked pores that have whiteheads and blackheads. Try to do it for 5-10 seconds on each part of your face: each cheek, forehead, nose + chin. Exfoliators with a sand like grit work best. Larger particles just sort of scratch your skin and will cause irritation after sun exposure. This should be done twice a week but never more than 3x a in a week. Over exfoliating your skin will cause breakouts.

Aveeno® Positively Radiant® Skin Brightening Daily Scrub
**don’t use it daily. Ignore the rules. 2x a wk! Or every 3-4 days. 

Cleanse:  

If there is one thing you do know, it's how to wash your face. If you feel like you have oily skin, use a gel cleanser. Dry skin, use a cream cleanser. If you're skin feels sort of tight + itchy after you’ve washed it, you have dry skin. Because you spend a lot of time in the sun, look for something gentle. Usually cleansing once a day is fine unless you are super sweaty or fell in the dirt. 

Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash

Hydrate:

Even if you have a hydrating cleanser, still apply even a light moisturizer. It is your new BFF. We are not teenagers anymore. When you're rounding 30, it's time to start the 'preservation process.' If you've met people who are about your age but you could've sworn they had at least a decade on you, it's because they did not hydrate. Sure, there are hereditary factors to how we age, but we all have hereditary factors. Some of us just manage them a little better. 

Aveeno® Smart Essentials™ Daily Nourishing Moisturizer Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30

* Tip with sunblock: SPF, while incredibly necessary, it can be drying for your skin over time. If you are using a sunblock and notice your skin is looking flaky, mix your sunblock with your moisturizer, about half and half, so you get the best of both worlds. 

Protect:

Do. Not. Neglect. This. Step. You will age like milk in the sun. Even if you don’t see a burn, you are burning your skin. Don’t forget your ears, neck, and hands. . 

Aveeno Baby Continuous Protection Sensitive Lotion - SPF 50
I use baby stuff all the time, doesn't matter that you're grown

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Daily Sunscreen Broad Spectrum 70
Mix with moisturizer

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen Lotion Broad Spectrum
(Mix with moisturizer)

Lip Balm:

Again, we ain't 22 no more. Your lips will age just as fast as the skin under our eyes. Use anything without petroleum. While it feels good and does work, it also stops your skin’s natural moisture production. Only use it to heal the skin, not for daily use. 

Kiss My Face Sport Lip Balm SPF 30

Avoid:

2-in-1 products: I say this because tons of products marketed toward males have this ‘nifty’ little feature that is good for no one. If you wanted to get a cleanse + exfoliate type of product to just use daily, you would just be doing more harm than good for your skin. Since you get sun everyday + facial hair grooming (however often you do it), treat your skin as if it were sensitive even if you don't see any redness or inflammation. Separate products are better so you can balance how often you are doing each step. 

Pore strips + peeling masks: products like the Biore strips or peeling masks that remove blackheads are good in a situation if you are going to an event and want to style on the crowd with a fresh face. But overuse (daily or even weekly) will just make the pores on your face larger over time. Which will just make blackheads and whiteheads more visible. 

Foaming anything: products that foam have a lot of alcohol so it just dries out the skin overtime. I don't even understand why they're made. 

It's OK to

Ignore some directions: I’m thinking about exfoliators again because people tend to over do it. Even if a product says it is ok for daily use, it is not. It’s too much! Very harsh on your skin especially after the sun.

You feeling fancy + want to add a night time routine? 

Cleanse - if you cleanse at night, you don't have to cleanse in the morning unless you’re like feeling kinda sweaty. 

Hydrate - same as day time

Eye cream- Again, we ain't 22 no more. You can also mix this with your SPF and wear it during the day. 

Burt's Bees® Eye Cream for Sensitive Skin

Extra Extra fancy + want to take a product with you during the day in case you feel sweaty + gross?

Cleansing wipes: 
Any micellar water cleansing wipes are great because you don't have to wash it off. Feels great to remove any sweat and dirt. Most of them are makeup removing wipes. But many people just use them after a work out. 

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Makeup Remover Wipes

Hydrate
Put some of your moisturizer in a little travel tube or jar. 

Protect

Reapply as needed!

Neutrogena® Ultra Sheer Broad Spectrum Sunscreen Body Mist

Final Touches

Hydrate + Soothe

Exactly what your skin needs after sun exposure. You can use hydrating sheet masks multiple times a week. It gives your skin instant results. They aren't lasting results but they do help and don't cause damage over prolonged use.

Tony Moly I'm Real Aloe Sheet Mask
Put this in the refridgorator for 15 minutes before use for the ultimate experice. 

Over night treatment

You got pimples that killing your vibe? These can help and are available at Ulta. If you overuse either of them, your skin will get dry and flaky. 

Mario Badescu Plastic Bottle Drying Lotion
Dont shake it. Take a q-tip and dip it in the sediment and put in on the pimple over night. Dries out the gross stuff so it heals faster

End of Day Treatment:

Not every day. An end of day treatment can be something that preps the skin for the week ahead.

Origins Travel Size Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask 
If you feel a pimple beneath the skin, this mask works to bring it out. It doesn't cause breakouts but it will bring the excess bacteria to the surface and form a pimple. It is good to use a few days before a special event to help make a pimple heal more quickly. It can be used over a specific pimple or all over the face. Use it about once a week on your nose and chin, or where ever you get blackheads and whiteheads, to clear your skin. Put a warm wet  towel over your skin for a few minutes to open up the pores then apply the mask. Once it is dry, use a warm wet towel again to remove it. 

Now GO + get shmexy

What's The Best Way To Have Your Makeup Last This Humid Summer: Prep + Set with Urban Decay: Optical Illusion Complexion Primer and DeSlick Setting Spray

Humidity is the top assassin of your makeup. It can feel like no matter what you do, your perfectly done up look slips right off your face. Try this technique to make sure that your blushing summer look  won't melt away when you leave your apartment. You'll arrive to your favorite happy hour spot with the courage to walk straight up to the bar without having to run to the bathroom to check your makeup. 

Let's begin with a complexion perfecting primer. This Optical Illusion Complexion Primer from Urban Decay gives your skin a clean slate. Baby Fresh. Pores: vanquishes. Fine lines: annihilated. It gives you an even better base to work with and a natural matte finish. The next step in your makeup up routine would normally be coverage in the form of either concealer or foundation. Depending on your preference. But what if I told you that setting your primer could make all the difference. 

photo from Allure.com

Beauty vlogger, Jackie Aina, introduced oily skin makeup wearers to the technique of setting their primers with a thin layer of translucent powder before they go in with their coverage products. She swears that this step keeps the oils in her skin at bay making her foundation last longer. In this video, amid many more, she shows viewers how setting their primer with powder can prevent makeup from separating and creasing around smile lines and the cupid's bow. Being that I do not have oily skin, I was always kind of jealous that I couldn't test out this hack to see if it really was as  good as Jackie says. 

I may not have oily skin but I do want my makeup to last as long as possible. I'm not dirtying my makeup brushes for a look that will has only 2 hours. No, Ma'am. Not I. If we are being totally honest here, many primers don't add longevity to our looks because it isn't in their job description. Primers are there to help our makeup apply better so regardless of your skin's condition, you can slay any look. 

Jackie Aina helped out oily skin girls. And I, Danyelle, will help out those with normal to dryish skin. Like me! Instead of setting your primer with a powder, set it with a setting spray. This is the De-Slick Oil-Control Makeup Setting Spray by Urban Decay. I can find a use for any product. Even if it isn't formulated for my skin type. The primer smoothed over any pores and fine lines I have. It doesn't, however, have the kind of long wearing power you'll need for the heat, sweating, and humidity of the summer. Setting it with the De Slick spray let me keep a smooth complexion and have an almost tacky layer to help my coverage products cling to my face to make it last. After I finished my makeup, I finish it off with another spritz of the De Slick spray and I am ready for what ever the summer has in store for me. 

Test out this technique and let me know how it worked out for you!
