Rose Gold Beauty for Valentine’s Day 2023

February 7, 2023 by 14 Comments

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to get inspired by some of our favorite celebrity beauty looks, pairing pinks and metallics. From adding a hint of rose gold to your locks to metallic lids with luscious pink lips, here are four celebrity approved beauty looks that will help you make a lasting impression on your special someone this Valentine’s Day—but are equally as appropriate for any Valentine’s Day fête!

Champagne Blonde with a Kiss of Rose Hair

With over 60,000 hashtag mentions and a 60% increase in searches for ‘champagne blonde,’ it’s no surprise that everyone is looking to go lighter this year.  Even Madeyln Cline sported the popular new shade (in a slightly darker hue) at The Critic’s Choice Awards.

Redken, the salon haircare leader for over 60 years, has announced that 2023’s haircolor of the year is Champagne Blonde with a Kiss of Rose.  This warmer hue with the touch of rose, makes it now even easier to take the leap to blonde with a softer and more natural look, which flatters a large range of skin tones and hair types.  According to Matt Rez, Redken Brand Ambassador and Celebrity Colorist, “It is a soft, neutral color, with a strong emphasis on shine, that resembles a glass of your favorite sparkling drink.  It’s a blonde that looks good on everyone!”

The Gold Rose Family is the newest addition to Redken Shades EQ collection, the No. 1 demi-permanent color in the US and trusted by over 400,000 professional stylists.  The secret is in the Gloss Bonder which works by “blonding and bonding—the gloss helps repair weak bonds that are more vulnerable to breakage,” repairing in one step.  Formulated with a Triple Acid Complex it only takes 20 minutes for hair to look warmer, blonder, and healthier.  Redken offers their new collection in three shades, Sparkling Wine, Blush Spritz and Golden Fizz, each calibrated to natural undertones with a subtle rose reflection.

Metallic Lids

Swipe on a metallic shade across your lids for a quick and easy way to enhance any beauty look.  Plus, if you’re planning to go platinum (or slightly darker blonde) with a hint of rose gold, a warm metallic shadow such as Gen See’s Mixed Media Metallic Liquid Eyeshadow in First Light will complement your new look perfectly. Or try Gen See’s Mixed Media Metallic Liquid Eyeshadow in Desert Highway or Bronze Age. You can’t really go wrong with a touch of gold (or bronze) and a pink lip to add a little warmth to your skin tone. And the creamy, highly pigmented formula does not disappoint.

Another star with gold in her sights is Olivia Wilde.  She emphasized a gold breastplate which she wore to the LA Premier of ‘Women Talking’ with gold eyeshadow and rosy-pink cheeks.

Add a Subtle Flush  

A little blush is easily the simplest way to get into the Valentine’s Day spirit.  At The Critic’s Choice Awards, Michelle Williams sported a gold one-shoulder Louis Vuitton dress paired with a pink cheek and lip, courtesy of makeup artist Angela Levin. Elle Fanning also opted for a flushed cheek for her Critic’s Choice Award makeup created by artist Erin Ayanian Monroe with a combination of L’oreal Paris’ True Match Super Blend Blush in Subtle Sable on the cheekbones and Barely Blushing on the apples of the cheeks. 

For a touch of flush on the go, Gen See’s Clean Sheen Cheek + Lip Color is ideal to throw in your bag for a little extra rosiness on your cheeks or to give your lips a hint of color.

Full on Rose Gold

At the Golden Globes, Rhianna looked gorgeous thanks to makeup artist Priscella Ono. “We wanted to create a clean, refreshed beauty look using all rose gold hues as a soft juxtaposition to the dramatic structure of her gown. We kept the eye minimal and mixed different rose gold tones on her lips, cheeks and body for an all-over sheen,” explained Ono in a press release.  Using all Fenty products including Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond Veil in Rose Rave and Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminzer in Fu$$y.

Looking for more ways to rock pink and gold for your Valentine’s Day Events? Take a cue from Emma Chamberlain at the Met Gala, who dazzled with soft pink lips and a high blush placement while dripping in jewels at the famed costume party.

Whether you’re going out on a romantic date or simply want to treat yourself, there’s nothing like a pink and gold look to make yourself feel extra special!

Glittering lights, spiked hot beverages, and a general merriment is in the air, which means the holidays are here. While you might have picked out the perfect outfit for all your festive fetes, to look your best you need to focus on your beauty routine.  Colder weather is leaving skin dry and less luminous, stress and excess alcohol consumption can show up on your face, and all those glasses of red wine leave stains on your pearly whites.

To combat the changing seasons, daily stressors and even just too much partying, Fashion Reverie has rounded up our favorite products to quickly prep for any holiday shindig, so you always look and feel picture perfect!

Puffy Eyes?

If you’ve been working too hard, traveling across the globe, or just operating on less sleep than usual … it’s going to show on your face.  However, Yes To Cucumber’s Depuffing Under Eye Masks are 100% cotton under eye masks, designed to awaken the undereye area while soothing and smoothing. 

“Clinical results show that after 4 weeks of use, over 90% of consumers felt their undereye area was less puffy, smoother and soothed,” states the brand. 

Don’t have 4 weeks to get rid of the dreaded puff? Fear not, store the masks in the fridge, and apply to the area to minimize puffy eyes so they can look their best, quickly! Yes To Soothing Depuffing Under Eye Masks for Sensitive Skin, Cumber $14.99, available at Amazon.com.

Less than White Teeth?

We can’t be the only ones who put on our makeup, get dressed and glance in the mirror on the way out the door only to realize our teeth aren’t as white as we’d like.  If you only have 2 minutes to a white smile, Luster 2 Minute Pearl Infused Whitening Kit is for you.  The best part is there are no trays or strips.  This 2-step system where you simply prep with the pearl infused rinse and then apply the serum to your teeth.  The system is enamel-safe, so it does not cause tooth sensitivity, a major drawback of all the strips we used in the past.

Added bonus, with consistent use you can whiten your teeth up to 6 shades in only 3 days! Luster Premium White 2- Minute Pearl Infused Teeth Whitening Kit $11.96, available at Amazon.com.

Split Ends?

Keep your tresses looking luxurious and healthy by sealing in moisture and repairing dry, damaged locks with Two Drop Hair Serum by Mounia.  Between the cold weather wicking away moisture and over-styling–we’re looking at you straighteners and curling irons–it’s easy for your hair to turn from silk into hay this time of year.

Two Drop Hair Serum provides all day protection.  Designed to repair hair strands and also strengthen, smooth, and shine, this serum is silicone-free and infused with organic Argan Oil and Prickly Pear Seed Oil.  Apply a tiny amount (2 drops) to instantly make your hair look healthier and party ready!

Two Drop Hair Serum, $40.00 available on Mouniahaircare.com.

Dark Circles?

Need to get rid of dark circles quickly to look party ready?  grace & stella’s A Dream Come Blue Eye Masks are a fan favorite with over 8,000 5-Star reviews and are even used by celebrities like Jessica Alba. 

These cooling gel patches are designed to reduce dark circles and undereye bags, all while hydrating and soothing.  Plus, they’re vegan and cruelty-free!  All it takes is 15 to 20 minutes to look instantly more awake.  Filled with skin-loving ingredients like Niacinamide to protect the skin barrier, camellia sinensis leaf extract oil (derived from tea plants) to combat dark circles and reduce wrinkles.  Apply these patches to the undereye area and let sit while picking out your outfit or doing your hair, to be ready in a flash.

Be sure to check out their other 2 Eye masks. Everything is better in pink which is a collagen boosting eye mask and It’s like an energy drink for your eyes, their anti-wrinkle and energizing mask. grace and stella Eye Masks, $21.99 for a package of 24 available at Amazon.com.

Lips Looking a Little Thin and Lackluster?

No matter if you’re planning to pucker up under the mistletoe or just looking for a more beautiful and fuller pout, JOAH has you covered.  JOAH Beauty Top it Off Plumping Lip Oil Set is formulated to soften lips and increase volume, plus you’ll love the silky water-shine finish and iridescent sparkle.  Infused with fine pearls and lavender oil these three shades in Prosecco, Bellini, and Bubbly can quickly be swiped on as you’re heading out the door for an instant boost to your lips!

Droopy, Tired Skin?

Men’s Editors’ Pick: SHALAJ’s Wearable Art Streetwear

November 30, 2022 by Leave a Comment

In case you haven’t noticed luxury streetwear is everywhere. Remember, streetwear as movement started with American urban youth in the late 1970, evolving to a billion-dollar segment of the fashion industry that now includes fashion staples like hoodies, joggers, sneakers, and other accessories.

What was once isolated to low-income urban youth has now exploded to global audience that speaks to a lifestyle, not just an expression of urban culture.  Add to that explosion a huge shift of luxury brands embracing a more youth-oriented audience and you have a fashion movement that is unstoppable.

Still, with luxury fashion houses embracing streetwear or street culture on a wide scale many fashion insiders feel that this embrace is not a nominal nod and not a full embrace. Most luxury houses will emblazon their brand logos on hoodies, joggers, and accessories without injecting real design into their streetwear.

It should also be mentioned that luxury streetwear is not inexpensive with hoodies costing up to over $1500 or more. Hmm, pricey hoodies with logos but no substantive design elements. Is that a rip off?

What is not a fashion rip off is what the Korean streetwear brand, SHALAJ is producing. The luxury streetwear brand launched in 2019 creating wearable art pieces with the vision of creative director, Shalaj Poonyarit. Poonyarit created the brand as a way for his artwork to be experienced through different mediums. His collections are inspired by his experiences in life around him to create pieces that express his perception and emotion.

The brand utilizes premium materials to create clothing that is more than your average piece including details such as twist hardware. And there are more than hoodies, joggers, and caps in this collection. There are great coats, moto jackets, bubble coats, and cardigans, as well.

Why don streetwear that says nothing, takes you nowhere special and looks exactly other streetwear with no distinction. If you are looking for wearable art that will make you stand out in the crowd and can carry over from season to season, then SHALAJ is for you!!

 Prices range from $200 to $5700. The brand is available to shop at Shalaj.us shipping worldwide and in-store at HLorezno.com in Los Angeles.

This may be the first time in a while that consumers will experience what might be thought of as back to normalcy since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sporting events, concerts and theatrical productions now receive consumers without proof of vaccination, even if consumers must wear masks.

Prolong your summer tan

If your summer tan is beginning to fade, you could book a trip to Hawaii or you could try Bali Body Face Tan Serum.  Just launched this month, this self-tanning serum combines skin-boosting vitamins, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid with a gradual bronze tan.  The lightweight formula will nourish, brighten, and plump your complexion, while leaving you looking as if you just came back from a tropical vacation.

Cleanse without drying your complexion

Merle Norman Cosmetics has developed a line of plant-based clean beauty solutions designed to leave your skin clean, soft, and beautiful.  Their newest product, Aqua Bliss Cleansing Lotion provides superior barrier protection, as it’s designed not to clog pores or dry out your skin.

According to a recent study in Exploding Topics, “clean beauty has been on the rise for over three decades. As with the clean food movement, consumers are becoming more aware (and concerned) about the products they put on their bodies.” With “48% of consumers reported that they buy plant-based products monthly, and 88% said they are likely to buy plant-based products in the next three months,” according to a study in Cosmetic Design, it makes sense that Merle Norman Cosmetics utilized the power of plants to formulate their new line.

Aqua Bliss Cleansing Lotion’s 98% natural, plant-based formula gently removes makeup and damaging pollutants without stripping skin of essential moisture thanks to Babassu Oil.  Plus, dehydrated coconut water gently purifies.

Nourish your face with a lotion from the freezer

Icing your face is an old secret-turned-TikTok hack that beauty lovers have been clamoring over.  So, if you’ve ever put cucumber slices over your eyes to make them less puffy or seen the phenomenon of ice rolling on social media, you won’t be surprised to hear that cold does wonders for your complexion. UK brand Skin Proud took icing to the next level with a lotion designed to be frozen. 

Image courtesy of skinproud.co.uk

Frozen Over Moisturizer, can be applied at room temperature. The gel-like texture will give you an “instant boost of moisture” thanks to ingredients like anti-inflammatory Aloe Vera extract.  However, apply it straight from the freezer for icy hydration that will make dull or puffy skin a thing of the past. Plus, it’s completely vegan and great for sun-stressed skin so when you do plan your next tropical vacation, be sure to keep some on hand.

  Skin Proud Frozen Over $13.98

Changing seasons is always the best time to try something new.  Check out these new products which will have you looking and feeling amazing!
