Spring Into A New HUE!

After this long, cold winter all I can think about is pretty Spring colors.Panotone’s color of the year Ultra Violet is a good place to start. The Ultra Violet choice is the epitome of Spring so that is where I will begin. I have started pulling all of my purple/lilac/lavender hued make up products from my huge make up bin. I trash the old and make lists of the new products that I want to acquire.

I am thinking of using this ultra violet hue in my hair. I love changing my hair color but it is important to use products that don’t stress my hair. I have been consistent with protein treatments and creamy conditioners this winter and my hair is looking and feeling great. I do this to prep for the color changes that I will inevitably make over the summer months. There are a ton of semi-permanent (ok, not a ton) hair options that I am looking at with interest. Manic Panic is my go-to vibrant, semi-permanent color. Bright hair make me feel alive and on trend. Why not use hair color to express your personality? I was surprised to see that one of my favorite lines LimeCrime has a rainbow of hair colors for the brave ones to choose from. Seriously, there are 25 colors to chose from….so be bold try a lavender hue in your hair!

Let Your SKIN Flower!

The winter months are an excellent time to prep your skin for the Spring/Summer show that begins in April. Lucky me received a PURE facial steamer for Christmas so I started with that. Disclaimer: I don’t claim to be an expert at ANYTHING! What I am is an amazing researcher! I had no idea what to do with this steamer so I hit up Google and read a few articles. What I learned is that steaming my skin improves cell vitality and oxygen absorption for a healthier younger looking complexion. It also significantly improves absorption of beauty creams and promotes drainage of sinuses and airways for overall improved well being.  So I steam my face about once a week. It may seem too much but I have had a rough winter so it works for me. After six weeks I can see and feel the difference. I steam before I hit the shower and use my normal facial cleanser, a rose water spray toner and the Fresh black tea overnight mask that I received in my Ipsy box.
