glopro









  One look at gorgeous Jamie O'Banion's face and my immediate thought was, "I have to have her skin!" I mean from taut and toned to hydrated, plump, and bouncy (not to mention absolutely flawless and glowing) there is nothing I wouldn't do to emulate that kind of beauty.  

  Lucky for us, it turns out, this is an easy little fix. Of course, you could spend tons of money on Upper East Side top doc visits, schedule weekly treatments and spend all your hard-earned cash on procedures you may love or live to regret. But, no need to sell out your soul. The way to get the glow is to grab this incredible little tool known as the BeautyBio GloPRO Micro Needler.

 I, of course, had heard the hype and even might have thrown an eye roll or two while listening to the claims and promises on this one but for whatever reason, probably Jamie's firm and fascinating complexion sans makeup mind you, I gave it a try. And out of all the drawers and cabinets I have filled with beauty must-haves, this is the one product that is my ride or die.  Yes, it's that life-changing, haha.

  But seriously, investing in less than five minutes a day sessions three times a week has given me such incredible changes I can see and feel when I look in the mirror. This is coming to you from a girl who had tried everyyyyything to get the glow and has never, ever seen results like this. Ever. My skin has gone from good to great in what is literally seeming like an overnight sensation.

   I promise you that after using it yourself, for less time than it would take to get an appointment with that elusive derm doc, all your family and friends will be wishing they had one in their hot little hands.  

  So, as a skincare lover and sometimes skeptic, I had to know what made it so effortlessly effective. The key?  It is in the combination of the microneedles and their ability to rejuvenate the skin combined with the red light therapy.  By gently and safely "injuring the skin" you are allowing your otherwise slowed collagen production to instantly ramp up and get your skin to act like it did when you were a kid and too young to appreciate all that poreless perfection. What that means is that unlike traditional exfoliation via scrubs or chemical peels, etc. microneedling is instead vertical exfoliation for the skin. Each time a needle passes over the top layer of your skin, it is safely creating vertical microchannels into the skin. These tiny channels allow your skincare products (like these game-changers I wrote about here) to actually penetrate as opposed to simply sitting on top of the skin. And, they signal the regeneration process, aka the increased production of collagen, which is what gives your skin that bounce, firmness and overall smoothing effect we all crave.

  I've been using mine at nighttime on freshly cleaned skin. It's as easy as dividing your face into four sections that you focus on. Right top, right lower, left top, left lower. Spend two minutes rolling your GloPRO in three directions (horizontally, vertically, and diagonally) across the section you're working on. Then move on to the next area. Yup, that's it. Follow it with your favorite serum (which your freshly needled skin will absolutely drink up.  I love this one) and get ready to glow tomorrow. I actually noticed a glow right away but that is my skin's way of letting me know it's been woken up. You can even feel your skincare seeping in and working afterwards. And, the real results come in the morning, haha.

  And that's it. I know, nothing in life is that simple. But, this is. I promise you that you will thank me. And your future face will do that every single day. What could be better than that? We live in a beautiful world.  If you'd like to learn even more be sure to check out Beauty Bio's site here.

Have a wonderful autumn weekend everyone and thanks for sharing part of it with me.

A day at the spa has always been one of my favorite things and something I'm craving now more than ever.  But since we're all tucked away at home, let's bring the spa to us.  Honestly, it's not that hard to do and with many of the products you probably already have in your closet and a little cleverness you can do it too.  Let's get pampering!

One thing I highly recommend to anyone looking to start a beauty regime is a high tech beauty tool.  Currently I enjoy having these three (here, here and here) in my rotation.  From LED emitting lights to micro current face gyms, these tiny tools will benefit your face in the same way that exercise firms your muscles.  

Treatment and hydration are the top two besties of your hair and skin.  Face masks, lip balms and skin creams are a few ways to replenish your skin with lost moisture.  This nourishing treatment will do the same for your tresses.  Scrunchies, soft slippers and these pretty pajamas round out the spa day essentials and leave me feeling completely replenished.

What are your favorite ways to pamper yourself at home?  Times like these make it more essential than ever!  I hope everyone has a little time to take for themselves this weekend.  Be safe loves!

How's everyone's week been?  I've been having so much fun checking off all the boxes on my summer bucket list.  Living on the east coast so close to both the beach and the city make for soooo many diverse opportunities but that's a whole other post, haha.  Okay, so for today I wanted to take a moment to talk about all the beauty deals going on over at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale right now.  From haircare to at-home facial devices this sale has something that everyone can use and the prices are incredible.  

So if you're a fan of the Face Gym then you already know the benefits of working your facial muscles.  Toning, lifting and firming are just a few.  This little gem will help you see similar results right from home.  I love my NuFace and hardly ever go a day without the benefits of its microcurrent magic.  Why would I when I can enjoy them from the comfort of my bed and pillows at home? Haha. 

This microneedling kit is another miracle worker.  In fact if you can only grab one thing let it be this.  The tiny needles held in the brush head are designed to reignite collagen production as the led light stimulates regenerative benefits that show every time you look in the mirror.  And this set includes heads for both the body and the face.

These makeup brushes, this handheld cleansing device and this sleek dryer are some of the other gorgeous deals going on this year.  What you'll want depends upon what you and your skin, hair and/or makeup routine are seeking right now.  No matter what you're after, you'll find a fantastic way to satisfy it here.  My top picks are all linked below.  Let me know what you think and what you'll be picking up this year!  Have fun loves!

Hello beauties!  Monday beauty deals are summertime hot with all the looks you'll be wanting to wear this fall thanks to Nordstrom's.  These sets and items are some of my favorites from the sale this year.  Here's what you need to know:

Soft loose curls that last for days are yours each time you give the T3 Single Pass Curl a whirl.  Because it's that good, it has already sold out but chances are it may be restocked on July 20th when the sale opens to the public.  Check back here for updates!

Another super hot must-have you'll want to get your hands on is the GloPro kit.  Micro needling has taken my skin from good to gorgeous and this is the little gem that gets it done.  This kit comes with all the attachments you need and is on sale for under $200 (well under!)  Run don't walk if you want skin that glows and a wallet that loves you.

This makeup palette caught my eye right away and does not disappoint  I've always been fan of understand beauty and that's exactly what Laura Mercier delivers every time.  So pretty!

Sara Happ makes lips happy.  This duo softens and smoothes even the truest of sun parched pouts.

Sleep is a girl's best friend and this pillowcase makes for the sweetest dreams.  Your skin is enveloped in silly smooth softness that adores your delicate face and hair leaving them untouched with never a pillow crease or frizzy flyaway to be seen.

Summertime skin can be left to face the fall feeling dry, rough and thirsty.  Whenever I hop out of the shower the first thing I reach for is a nourishing body creme that rehydrates and fortifies by skin. This one is the perfect choice with all its good for your skin nutrients that'll leave your skin soft and touchable.

Finally, this lip set from Charlotte Tilbury says hello perfect pout unlike any other.  These pretty nudes compliment nearly all skin tones.  Get this set if you love blushing nudes that look effortlessly perfect.  

My other beauty faves that I'm obsessed with right now are all linked below.  Let me know how much you love them!  Until then enjoy this beautiful Monday everyone!
