Our Favorite Makeup Removers!

Happy Friday, amazing Ruby girls and guys! We hope your week has been great! We love to share our favorite makeup goodies, but we thought we’d share our favorite makeup removers today. A key step in keeping skin happy and healthy is removing makeup every night before bed. This allows our skin to breathe and take in our night time creams and skin treatments better.

Neutrogena deep clean cleansing wipes help us wipe off a full made up face in just a few minutes, it’s so easy to grab one after brushing your teeth, before heading to bed!

Neutrogena oil-free eye makeup remover for those stubborn waterproof eyeliners and mascaras. The formula is gentle and fast!

 

Huggies natural care, fragrance free baby wipes, for those with sensitive skin. There’s just enough texture on these wipes to gently remove makeup. We recommend that you keep a box of these in your night stand for those late nights when you’re too tired to wash your face!

Summer Skin Drugstore Favorite: Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector!

Happy Friday, amazing Ruby girls and guys! As many of you saw, we shared our favorite department store tinted moisturizer last week. We wanted to share a drugstore favorite for those of you on a budget (hey, more $$ to spend on other makeup, right?).

We picked up Garnier’s Miracle Skin Perfector on a whim at Target and fell in love! This tinted moisturizer offers light to medium coverage and works well on oily skin. We love that we can wear this alone with our gel and cream blushes, or lightly set with powder for a matte finish. It holds up all day and blends easily when touching up at the end of a long work day.

At $12-15 a tube, this is a budget friendly item will quickly become a favorite in your makeup bag! You can find Garnier’s Miracle Skin Perfector at Target, Walmart, and many drugstores.

Summer Skin Department Store Favorite: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer

Happy Thursday, amazing Ruby girls and guys! We wanted to share our favorite department store tinted moisturizer. With the warmer weather, we like to keep our makeup a little lighter, but still flawless. Laura Mercier’s tinted moisturizer offers light coverage, with a glowy finish. We dab this on over our favorite sunscreen and set it with a light dusting of powder for a matte finish.

Offered in a variety of shades and finishes for oily and normal skin, we recommend this to all of our friends! You can pick this up at most department stores and at Sephora for $43.

Next week, we will share our favorite drug store tinted moisturizer for those Ruby girls and guys on a budget!

New Product Obsession: MAC Patentpolish Lip Pencils!

Happy Thursday, amazing Ruby girls and guys! We hope you’re all having an amazing week :). It’s warming up here in Southern California and we are embracing all of the bright makeup colors popping up for spring an summer!

As it gets hotter, we sometimes like to take our makeup in a lighter direction, and try to keep our makeup bag stocked with products that are easy to just swipe on and go. MAC’s new Patentpolish Lip Pencils are our current go-to lip colors. Their light feel and beautiful selection of color is perfect for those summer parties. The liners don’t require sharpening and are very easy to apply, but they add a sweet pop of color and shine that works well with our favorite dewy skin makeup looks. You can pick the pencils up at your local MAC counter or at maccosmetics.com at just $20 each.

Radiant Orchid!

Hello, amazing Ruby girls and guys! We hope 2014 has been treating all of you well! We loved Pantone’s choice for color of the year, Radiant Orchid, and we are so excited to incorporate it into our spring and summer beauty routine!

From Pantone’s press release: 

“An invitation to innovation, Radiant Orchid encourages expanded creativity and originality, which is increasingly valued in today’s society.

An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health. It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm.

Radiant Orchid for Beauty
A modern and surprisingly versatile shade, Radiant Orchid enlivens the skin, making all who wear it feel more healthy and energetic. Blending both cool and warm undertones, purple is an appealing hue for distinctive combinations and flattering to many hair, eye and skin tones.

This multifaceted hue is seductive when combined with red and pairs well with its sister shades of lavender, purple and pink, which provides an assortment of lipstick and blush options. Radiant Orchid’s exuberance also acts as a brilliant finishing touch to nails.”

 How are you planning on incorporating Radiant Orchid into your beauty and fashion routine?
