Red, White and Blue: 4th of July Beauty

Monday Jun 29, 2009 – By Nicole Mitsch

Whether your coating your nails with a jaw dropping red polish or scrub your face with a product that helps you think of HOPE this 4th show your pride while looking your best. This year let the fireworks start with you.

americancreamLush American Cream ($8.75, lushusa.com) This dreamy concoction is inspired by a sweet milkshake. You know the kind that you would find on Route 66 on your trip across America. Made with honey and vanilla to soften and fresh strawberries and oranges to add shine, it takes on the toughest tangles and roughest frizz, all the while smelling like a sweet honey milkshake. All that is missing is two straws.

picture-155Shu Uemura Cream Eye Shadow in Light Blue ($30, sephora.com)- Soft, blend able, waterproof eyeshadow that provides an intense color payoff. shu uemura Cream Eye Shadow delivers smooth, multi-functional color in a long-wearing, non-creasing formula. The light blue color is an amazing shade that can be put on light or heavier for more drama. A blue that works on all skin tones.

pbbw1-5786429v194True Blue Spa Summer Touch Creamy Body Wash ($15, bathanbodyworks.com) Start the 4th of July right with a nice bath shower and this luxurious body wash. Summer Touch is a creamy, hydrating body wash has a rich lather that makes skin feel fresh, clean, moisturized and lightly fragranced with a refreshing, sun kissed scent. Now that is something to celebrate.

453157Sally Hansen INSTA DRI Fast Dry Nail Color, Rapid Red ($5.29, walgreens.com) There isn’t an easier way to punch up your look then this intense shot of red color from Sally Hansen. This fast drying nail color goes on smooth and dries in an instant. Faster then you can say Yankee Doodle Dandy. The color stays true and vibrant.

tone_blueberry_body_washTone Blueberry Body Wash ($3.99, toneskincare.com for a retailer near you)- This yummy body wash will have you craving a slice of your grandma’s blueberry pie. But don’t be fooled by its sweet smell this boy wash packs a punch. It contains antioxidants to help fight against daily environmental stress. While Vitamin E, Vitamin A and blueberry extract provide intense moisture to dry skin. And unlike grandmas pie this blueberry treat helps keep your skin radiant.

picture-156When Hope is Not Enough Omega 3-6-9 Hydrating Body Scrub ($30, sephora.com) Sometimes hope isn’t enough and in this country we have gone to hoping for a change to making a change. So in that spirit I am taking control of my skin with the When Hope is Not Enough Body Scrub. It combines the nourishing properties of essential fatty acids with protective antioxidants to restore and condition dry, irritated skin. Naturally derived exfoliants gently polish away dullness, so skin is left feeling moisturized, super soft, and radiantly smooth.

clq_635p_250Clinique Long Last Soft Shine Lipstick ($14, sephora.com) When ever I think of the 4th of July I think of the old school pin up girls. So this 4th I am regretting that look with Clinique’s Long Last Lipstick. This long lasting formula has a soft shine formula that won’t feather, creep, stain or dry out. Keeps your lips hydrated and beautiful no matter how long the festivities last for.
