Top Rated Winter Hair Care Products For Healthy, Shiny Locks

Published on by Lee1 Comment

Just as winter takes a toll on your skin, it can be equally harsh on your hair. To combat the season effect; consider tweaking your routine by spacing out your hair wash days and steering clear of excessively hot water. Adapting your hair care routine is crucial to ward off potential damage, such as split ends and dry, brittle strands. If you’re unsure where to begin with winter hair care products, you’re in the right spot. We’ve curated a list of top-rated formulas, from nourishing oils to revitalizing masks, to guarantee your locks emerge from the winter season looking shiny and healthy.

On hair wash days, there’s nothing more nourishing than a leave-in conditioner. Ideally, your hair should be damp when applied. The Amika Hydro Rush contains hyaluronic acid (yes. the same used on your skin) for intense moisture, which means your hair will be hydrated even as you go on to style it. Before using any heat tools, we highly encourage a heat protectant like the Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat Protectant Leave-In Conditioner Primer and Dae Agave Dry Heat Protection & Hold Styling Mist to protect your precious strands. When it comes down to adding a bit of shine and bounce to dry hair, hair oil will be your best friend. Products like the Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil and Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Hair Oil are great for massaging onto the ends of the hair, which is often the part most susceptible to damage.

Finally, one of the best things you can do for your hair in the winter is a weekly hair mask. Again, this should be done after a hair wash day. After shampooing, apply a generous amount of the hair mask, ensuring it is evenly coated. It’s best to leave it on for 3-5 minutes for optimal results. According to SUSAN HANG, the top-rated hair masks are the Moraccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask and the Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair mask. 

If you integrate the above winter hair care products, we promise you can kiss dry, damaged hair goodbye!

By now, you’ve likely already secured your New Year’s Eve outfit, perhaps opting for something sparkly like a sequin dress or embellished top. With the attire sorted, the final step is perfecting your makeup to complete the entire look. Even if your ensemble is sparkle-heavy, don’t shy away from going all out. December 31st is the night to unabashedly embrace glitter and shine in all its glory.

When working with glitter around the eyes, it’s best to wait and do your base makeup last in case of fallout. Begin by applying a silver eyeshadow crayon as a base. Then, intensify the sparkle by packing on a silver eyeshadow (remember, the more glitter, the better). Define the eyes further by adding a darker gray eyeshadow to the outer corners, blending upward and into the crease. Clean up any glitter fallout before moving on to the base makeup.

As you work on your base, choose products that are flash-photography proof, which means avoiding anything with added SPF. Begin with a high-coverage concealer, followed by a product like the MAKEUP BY MARIO SurrealSkin Liquid Foundationfor an immaculate finish. Define your features with blush and bronzer, then set everything with a translucent powder and a spritz or two of the Urban Decay All-Nighter Setting Spray.

Once the base is complete, return to the eyes. Use a waterproof liquid eyeliner to create a sharp cat eye. Extend this line carefully toward the inner corner and craft a mini wing. Continue extending this line slightly up your lid for a statement graphic eyeliner moment. Finish the eyes with a lengthening mascara.

This New Year’s Eve makeup will be the perfect finishing touch for your party look, ensuring you shine and sparkle all night!

Here’s How to Achieve Glass Skin In The Winter

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

Achieving a flawless complexion is undoubtedly challenging at any time of the year, but the winter months, with their harsh conditions, can be particularly taxing on the skin. But what if we told you that glass skin, often seen on K-pop idols and other celebrities, isn’t far out of reach? Clear, poreless, and glowy skin is possible for anyone, as long as you use the right skincare products that protect and nourish the skin, even in the depths of winter. We rounded up a handful of products that surely will help you obtain the impossible. Glass skin is just around the corner.

What is Glass Skin?

Evolving from Korean women’s 11-step dedication to a baby-like complexion, “glass skin” essentially refers to a perfectly smooth and intensely hydrated complexion with an all-over sheen – just like a pane of glass. Glass skin is this idea of transparent and translucent skin. It is a sign of youthfulness, and it is one of the most strived-for qualities in Korea. However, this combination of ultra-smooth texture and super translucency can be difficult to achieve with products alone. It’s not something you get overnight – consistent skincare that gives you that refined texture, the pinnacle of youthful skin.

Achieving this coveted glow requires long-term commitment — not a quick fix. A glow of this magnitude starts from within, and you need products that deliver actives deeper, than those that sit on top.

The first swaps you can make start with your cleanser. Set aside your foamy face wash for a nourishing cleansing balm like Belif’s Aqua Bomb. It will not only remove makeup and impurities, but the creamy texture will help to maintain essential moisture. Winter is all about layering, especially when it comes to skincare. After cleansing, lightly tap the toner onto your face to restore your skin pH level. We can’t get enough of the COSRX Propolis Synergy Toner, which contains honey extract for ultimate hydration, or the Innisfree Green Tea Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Toner, which is packed with antioxidants and amino acids from a balanced blend of green tea extracts and skin-nourishing panthenol for a hydrated canvas. This toner has 5 Types of Hyaluronic Acid that provide more thorough, amplified hydration that is perfect for anyone with dry skin.

From there, it’s time to enrich with a serum. We recommend using hyaluronic acid in both your AM and PM routines. Caudalie Vinosource-Hydra SOS and The INKEY List Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Hydrating Face Serum acts as a humectant that aids in retaining moisture.

That is not all! From there, consider adding the viral COSRX snail mucin Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence into your daily routine. The thick consistency locks in the benefits of previously applied skincare products, providing an extra layer of hydration. This lightweight essence will sink in seamlessly after toner and before moisturizer. It is a cruelty-free snail extract that brightens, hydrates, and supports healthy skin repair. Once this step is complete, you are ready to apply your moisturizer of choice. To combat the winter climate, consider the Farmacy Honey Halo for optimal protection and nourishment. The Farmacy Honey Halo rich cream is: formulated with a potent ceramide blend, and this clinically-tested moisturizer helps protect the skin moisture barrier while antioxidant-rich buckwheat honey and fig extract provide lasting hydration for a smooth, dewy, and healthy-looking glow. Also, Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Refillable Moisturizing Cream with Squalane has an ultra-lightweight texture for quick and lasting hydration that lasts up to 24 hours. This cream leaves skin softer, smoother, and healthier-looking and is formulated with olive-derived squalane, glycerin, and glacial glycoprotein.

With these carefully chosen steps, achieving the coveted glass-skin look becomes not just a possibility, but a reality, even in the harshest winter conditions.

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

In 2023, one of the most influential style icons was none other than, Barbie herself. From spring to summer, the world collectively embraced the iconic fashion doll and the blockbuster film Barbie, adorning themselves in head-to-toe pink ensembles. Although the fervor for the movie may have waned, Barbie’s impact continues to reign supreme. Now, amid the holiday season, as we prepare to dazzle at festive gatherings, there’s not a more fitting time than to embrace her once more with a holiday Barbie look.

Barbie is renowned for her distinctive style, often centered around her flawlessly styled hair. For a festive holiday look, try curling your hair into playful locks. While you can let it flow for a graceful cascade, take it up a notch with a chic half updo. To infuse that signature Barbie charm, finish off the ponytail with a bow, allowing you to match your hair with your chosen holiday ensemble. Ensure your locks shine bright by applying a glossy hair oil. The hair is the It Girl, the showstopper, the outfit! Barbie holiday hair doesn’t take the backseat ever.

Undoubtedly a fan of glamour, Barbie encourages you to enhance your best features with makeup. For a nighttime holiday affair, consider creating a dark smokey eye with the Patrick Ta Major Dimension palette, complemented with precise tight-lined eyeliner. From there, pile on the bright pink blush, sweeping it up and towards your under eyes for the ultimate nod to Barbie. This technique simultaneously pays homage to the “I’m Cold” makeup that has also been prevalent this holiday season. 

Now that your hair and makeup are complete, you’re ready to step out and rock the holiday Barbie look to your next party.
