March 3, 2025 by admin Leave a Comment

Spring is the season of renewal, and what better way to refresh your beauty routine than with some of the most exciting new launches and updated favorites? From luminous primers to long-lasting eyeliners, these must-have beauty products will have you looking effortlessly radiant all season long.

Burberry Beyond Radiance: The Glow-Boosting Primer

If you’re after that lit-from-within glow, Burberry Beyond Radiance is your new secret weapon. This lightweight, 80% water-based primer hydrates like a serum while delivering a beautiful glow that instantly brightens and evens out your complexion. The infusion of vitamin F from safflower oil locks in moisture, while antioxidants like rosa damascena and Darjeeling tea leaf extract provide environmental protection with anti-pollution benefits. Whether worn alone or under foundation, this oil-free, non-comedogenic primer creates a radiant, flawless base for any look.

Gucci Blush De Beauté: Your Multi-Use Pop of Color

Gucci’s first-ever powder blush is everything you need for a fresh, healthy flush. The buttery-soft formula blends effortlessly, thanks to emollient waxes and smoothing powders, while skin-loving ingredients like Shea Butter, Hyaluronic Acid, and Black Rose Oil keep your cheeks hydrated. The buildable pigment means you can go for a soft hint of color or layer it up for a bold, sculpted effect. Plus, it doubles as an eye shadow, making it a versatile addition to any makeup bag for on-the-go touchups.

Urban Decay All Nighter Hyaluronic Acid Dewy Setting Spray: The Ultimate Glow Lock

Lock in your makeup with a radiant finish that lasts all day for truly “juicy” looking skin. Urban Decay’s All Nighter Hyaluronic Acid Dewy Setting Spray keeps your look fresh for up to 16 hours while delivering all-day hydration. Infused with hyaluronic acid and watermelon extract, it plumps the skin, prevents makeup meltdowns, and leaves behind a dewy, luminous glow. The fresh watermelon scent will have you dreaming of summer. The micro-mist spray ensures an even application, and the waterproof, smudge-proof and transfer resistant formula guarantees your glam stays put all day and night without cracking, fading or flaking.

Burberry Eye Quad: A Chic, Everyday Essential

For an effortless yet striking eye look, the Burberry Eye Quad in Midnight No. 04 is a must. Inspired by classic Burberry heritage hues, this palette features four complementary shades that are richly pigmented, long-lasting, and blend beautifully with minimal fallout. Beginner friendly with four colors that can easily be mixed and matched to create dozens of looks for night or day. The compact comes in the brand’s signature beige and gold case, complete with a mirror and applicator, making it the perfect luxury staple for on-the-go glam and one you’ll be proud to display on your vanity.

Revlon ColorStay Face + Body Glow Lotion: All-Over Radiance

Get ready to glow—literally, from head to toe. The Revlon ColorStay Face + Body Glow Lotion hydrates while delivering a natural, all-over luminosity. Infused with glycerin and superfruit extracts, this 80% water-infused gel formula provides a refreshing feel to the skin without the greasiness. You’ll also love the fresh coconut scent, and four radiant shades all equipped with ultra-refined pearls for a multi-dimensional glow, which you can wear all over.

Whether used alone, mixed with foundation, or applied as a highlighter or bronzer, this versatile glow-enhancer is a runway favorite—celebrity makeup artist Vincent Oquendo used it to create a radiant, dewy finish for Christian Siriano’s New York Fashion Week show just last month Oquendo explained he drenched the models in Face + Body Glow lotion in two shades mixed together with a blush brush to really make their skin shine.

Gucci Mascara Le Magnétisme: The Luxe Lash Lift

Lashes that mesmerize? Yes, please! Gucci’s Mascara Le Magnétisme delivers voluminous, fanned-out, curled lashes. The formula provides a weightless, creamy texture. The curved brush with spikes in different lengths ensures both volume and curl while capturing even the thinnest lashes, while the black and blue pigment blend intensifies lash definition.

The smudge-proof, flake-resistant formula stays put for up to 12 hours without clumping, making it a beauty essential. The sleek black tube with a gold Gucci logo adds an extra touch of sophistication and a little something special.

Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips: The Ultimate Statement Lip

Charlotte Tilbury’s Hot Lips in Secret Salma is a deep rose-plum shade inspired by Salma Hayek, designed to complement brown eyes beautifully. This modern matte lipstick hydrates with Lipstick Tree Extract and Vitamin E, ensuring long-lasting color and a cashmere-soft finish. The square-angled tip is ideal for precise application, while 3D glowing pigments create the illusion of fuller, more luminous lips. Plus, the iconic rose-gold tube is as Insta-worthy as it gets!

Skincare Secrets for Autumn 2024

October 16, 2024 by admin Leave a Comment

As the weather gets colder, you might notice some adverse effects to your skin. The changing of the seasons always provides extra concerns, particularly from summer into the fall.

Fashion Reverie chatted with supermodel/actress Molly Sims’ personal esthetician, facialist and brand ambassador for YSE Beauty, Catherine Esposito about how to improve the look and feel of your skin without a complex, 18-step skincare regime. Enjoy!!!

To get beautiful skin for fall is really a two-step process. First you want to reverse any hyper pigmentation, get rid of dead skin, and rehydrate from days of enjoying perhaps too much time in the sun. Esposito recommends finding a good quality product with tranexamic acid. From Sim’s YSE Beauty line, The Problem Solver is perfect for getting back to a good base as it has both tranexamic acid and niacinamide. “It really clears up your skin. It’s kind of similar to getting a laser treatment after summer,” Esposito explains.

Secondly, you need to hydrate your skin in preparation for the colder temperatures. Esposito stresses that hydration is extremely important for you skin in every season, (seriously moisturize your skin all year round) but “moving into the colder months, you want to make sure that you feel it on a deeper level … I love [YSE’s] Xtremely Rich, it’s super nourishing. It’s going to keep you plump all day.” With key ingredients including ceramides, squalane, hyaluronic acid, microalgae, and licorice root extract, Xtremely Rich rebalances the skin’s microbiome, targets dark spots, and provides lots of hydration.

While we love a good all over moisturizer, some spots just need a little extra love as they seem to always get dry no matter what you do. Esposito has a trick to help fix those troubling dry areas on your face, “Going into fall especially, I would take the YSE lip mask [ Like a Gloss] if you’re feeling a little dry in specific areas such as underneath the eyes or even around the nose. If you’re going to sleep, you can dab it right there [in those sensitive, extra dry spots] to make sure that you’re adding a little extra hydration.” shares Esposito. You can also apply a little on your marionette lines for a more youthful look while you’re at it.

So now that you’ve improved the look of hyper-pigmentation from sun damage, removed all the dead skin, moisturized all over, is there anything else you can do to have your skin look it’s best for fall? Esposito shares that she personally loves YSE’s Vacation Glow Highlighter Stick. “The highlighter stick is something that I literally have in every single one of my bags, because it just gives me that little glow, which is perfect if you’re like feeling a little dull moving into the winter months.” It’s super easy to use to get a radiant complexion even when you’re short on time. “I just put a little bit on when I’m running an errand and it makes me feel more complete … it’s just the perfect accent for when you don’t want to go full makeup, but you do want to look [polished and ready to take on your day.] The highlighter stick paired with Skin Glow SPF, which is both sunscreen and primer [in one] is the perfect combination; simple, ready to go, flawless.”

Beautiful skin is the foundation for every beauty look from TikTok to the runway. Be sure to utilize these tips to reverse summer damage and keep that complexion hydrated and you’ll be good to go for all those Pumpkin Spice Latte selfies!

Fall 2025 Bridal Beauty Trends

October 14, 2024 by admin Leave a Comment

Attention, fall 2025 brides! The latest beauty and accessory trends are sure to make your special day unforgettable. But why wait until next year? These stunning looks can elevate any bride’s style, no matter the season.

Fashion Reverie highlights the most talked about collections from this season’s bridal shows to inspire your wedding day look.

Ines Di Santo

Ines Di Santo’s fall 2025 bridal collection is a romantic celebration of textures and colors. “I see each garment as a living painting,” Di Santo explains. “Every fold, every movement, becomes a brushstroke. I aimed to evoke the same visceral emotion you feel when gazing at a Renaissance masterpiece—timeless yet full of life.”

The collection features a variety of gowns, such as a blush and lilac floral ballgown with a feather cape, a blue floral skirt with a strapless lace bodice, and a textured white drop-waist gown. There are even shorter and tea length options for brides ready to dance the night away. The collection showcased lots of pops of color with accessories playing a crucial role.

Ines partnered once again with Bobbi Brown for a soft, blush-focused makeup look. Global pro artist Cassandra Garcia utilized Pot Rouge in ‘Velvet Plum’ and ‘Pale Pink’ to create a flushed and natural glow. “Pot Rouge is essential because you can easily touch it up throughout the day … and you can use it on your cheeks and lips,” Garcia notes also sharing how she loves the cream base as it’s perfect for blending. Models also wore No Smudge Mascara, Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick in ‘Cinnamon’ and ‘Golden Pink,’ and Extra Plump Lip Serum in ‘Bare Pink’ pressed into their lips for a soft, stain-like glow.

Pnina Tornai

For the bride who wants to stand out, Pnina Tornai’s collection features eye-catching pieces like Chantilly lace bodysuits with long gathered sleeves, a mock-neck fit-and-flare gown adorned with beaded floral lace, and a climbing rose jacquard ball gown with a high collar. This extravagant collection is brimming with embellishments, including mirror crystals, opals, pearls, flowers, ruffles and glittering bows.

Tornai’s styling included a variety of gloves, such as sheer illusion gloves with water crystal raindrops, lace ruffle gloves with silk organza bows, and a pair of black crystal-embellished lace ones. Hand-painted veils adorned with feather butterflies, an ostrich feather stole, and a crystal birdcage veil added extra flair. As for the jewelry, Pnina Tornai and Jared the Galleria of Jewelry teamed up on a collection of gorgeous pieces that caught the light and made each bride sparkle.

To enhance each bride’s natural radiance, the team at Beautini created what they described as “a soft, dewy skin, makeup look.” The Beautini team shares, “As Pnina Tornai herself said it best, this collection and look was inspired by light, spreading light, and shining your light on the world so love prevails. This skin-forward style focuses on highlighting the cheekbones and skin with hydrating skincare, dewy face coverage and highlighter applied to the cheekbones and brows to create a clean, glowy look.”

In terms of bridal trends, the team shared that they are seeing more “natural looks that enhance your features, paired with slick backed updos that shift the focus to the bride’s natural beauty” which happens to mirror the trends seen at this past New York Fashion Week (NYFW). To look your best on your wedding day the team shares some tips, “We recommend prioritizing hydration! Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated from within, apply your everyday face cream, and use Beia’s Daily Hydrating & Setting Mist to help de-puff and hydrate the skin before the makeup is applied. We also loved using Patrick Ta’s Blush Duo for a soft and natural blushy look.”

NARDOS

NARDOS embodies timeless elegance with a vintage-inspired collection showcased at their Madison Avenue store. Accessories were minimal and mostly included for styling versatility, such as a high-neck cape-like topper on a flowing Moonstone hand-embroidered gown, a halter neckline with a detachable topper (for versatility with styling) over a drop waist Chantilly and Lyon lace gown adorned with intricate floral patterns, and a delicate veil over a fitted floral gown with a sheer train.

Most jewelry was understated, focusing attention on the gowns. Hair was styled in slightly messy romantic updos with a delicate braid, complemented by strong brows, slightly smoked out eyes on the outer corners, false lashes, and a touch of pink blush for a natural, yet glamorous feel. The perfect transition from the more glamorous looks to this upcoming season’s more natural trend. Proving you can have the best of both worlds and look amazing at the same time!

For brides seeking a modern aesthetic, consider incorporating glamorous accessories in vibrant colors, or playful jeweled touches. Embrace your own beauty with simple hairstyles that keep your hair off of your face (and showing off the back of the gown) and soft, minimal makeup with a touch of blush that really highlights your best features while letting your natural complexion shine through.

Textured Monochromatic Manis

There is something so chic about a solid-colored nail with a little texture for interest. Celebrity nail artist, Pattie Yankee created both a white and a black textured nail look for Bryan Barrientos and SHAO NY.

Barriento’s collection this season featured white-on-white with lots of textures and interesting silhouettes, so Yankee wanted to mirror that on the nails. To get the look, start with a coat of white polish and add some flocking powder to give it that depth. The set created for SHAO NY focused on a jet-black look to complement the edgy designs. To achieve the look at home, you just need a little patience. Yankee recommends applying a base coat of a black polish such as her namesake brand’s ‘Fill the Void’ and attach black rhinestones on top to fill up the entire nails.

While those are the easiest looks to recreate at home, they certainly weren’t the only textured nails Yankee designed. She also employed sculpting powder to create stunning textured chrome nails at Private Policy.

Get a Glass Effect

Glossy skin was the star on the runway at Prabal Gurung. “We pioneered the glass skin movement in 2018, at that time glass skin was not a thing and now there’s billions of views on the glass skin hashtag,” shares Alicia Yoon, Founder and CEO of Peach & Lily. “I actually have very sensitive eczema prone skin, which is why I wanted to start the brand because I couldn’t find something out there that was able to marry potency with gentle [formulas] for my sensitive skin.”

Yoon adds, “We’re really excited because for this fashion show we are all about bringing you healthy natural glass skin with just our products, foundation free, onto the runway. Glass skin is for everyone. You can see the models here have very diverse skin, skin types, skin concerns, skin tones. Wherever they are in their skin journey with the Peach & Lily products they’re all going to have glass skin … It’s a moment to show that glass skin is for everyone.”

So how do you achieve the glass skin effect at home? Yoon has some tips. “Start with the core glass skin routine, which is the Power Calm Cleanser, the Wild Dew Treatment Essence, the Glass Skin Refining Serum and the Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream. Then when you’re done with all of that … spray the Glass Skin Veil Mist and literally you have instant glass skin.” Implementing this routine will help improve the look over time, so you’re getting luminous skin from within.

However, don’t skip on the mist! “The Glass Skin Veil Mist it’s not a makeup product, it is a skin care product, but it gives you this incredibly beautiful finish. Not only does it find moisture, but it holds on to that moisture… You can wear it on bare skin, you can even wear it over makeup. The base is not water, it’s cucumber water so it’s very soothing and you just get that beautiful finish.”

Airy, Easy Tousled Tresses

For Simkhai spring 2025, celebrity stylist Holli Smith was inspired by the ‘70s archetypes and individuality. “We want to see some movement, but right now in this era, we’ve honored so many different unique personalities, textures, and haircuts,” explains Smith who focused on playing up each model’s own unique personal style, which she admits can be challenging at times when getting everyone ready for a show.

However, the main look for models with longer hair started with a middle part “It’s not laid with the pintail comb, so it’s not severe and couture.” Smith explains. “What we’re doing is we’re putting a few little clips right at the part in the back, so that it gives you a little bump of volume … without making volume at the side. We want to keep it little closer to the head, it looks cooler, and it doesn’t get glamorous.”

Using TRESemmé Extra Hold Mousse, Smith applied it liberally to the hair in large panels, before gathering the hair and creating an ‘S’ wave. “I’m not using a curling iron to get something that becomes barrel looking or salon looking,” Smith emphasizes. “It’s just a simple cooler, closer to the body style.” Then using the Shark Beauty SpeedStyle ProFlex blow dryer on gentle heat (with the DeFrizz Fast diffuser) before taking out the clips that held the hair in place. “Next, I’m going to just break it up a little bit, but you know that it’s already set closer to the head so it’s kind of a cool girl look. I just start to mess pieces up on the outer layer, so it looks special, like it’s not so forced down.

Iridescent Nudes

“Nudes for spring and everything for spring is going to be shimmery opalescent,” Miss Pop, lead manicurist and ZOYA Brand Ambassador explains. “Nothing boring anymore. [At Theophilio’s ‘Shaunie’ spring 2025 collection] we’re using ZOYA’s ‘Nyssa’ which is a caramel nude and ‘Ophelia’ which is more of a dark chocolate and we’re putting over ‘Leia’ which is my favorite ZOYA Shade.” Explains Miss Pop who also created a ‘Glam Glitter’ look in addition to the ‘Opalescent Nudes’ for the show.

However, if nudes aren’t your thing, bright iridescent manicures are also trending. Miss Pop recommends adding a shimmery shade over your favorite polish. “‘Leia’ is literally a Unicorn, it’s this opalescent glitter that’s just picks up light and shimmer and brings rainbow, unicorn magic to your nails, or opalescence if you’re an adult. I literally put it over everything …”

Golden Hour Highlights at Any Hour

Lead Stylist Anthony Cole created voluminous, wind-blown, bouncy hair with soft subtle highlights mimicking the beautiful hues right before sunset for Prabal Gurung. “You’re going to have all different tones in the hair as the sun goes down, your color changes,” Cole explains. Backstage Cole and his team, colored extensions with Wella Color Touch to add into the hair. “We’re using more golden, cinnamon, pinkish, peachy tones on our blondes… tucked in underneath so that when the wind blows, just that little touch of color will [shine through] with the lighting … On the darker hair, we’re using more violet tones.”

The key to golden hour color is keeping it soft and subtle, focusing on the actual hues your individual color picks up at that time of day. “Everything that we’re doing has to blend it… it has to look like it belongs,” Cole stresses.

Image courtesy of Janine Silver

But that’s only one part of Cole’s gorgeous look. For the natural, wind-blown effect, Cole starts with Wella Ultimate Repair, “it [works in] 90 seconds. You spray it onto the hair, it smooths the cuticle down creating a beautiful palette to work on. Then in the roots, we’ve been spraying Wella EIMI Body Crafter, we brush it through and then when we blow dry, we get this really cool, soft volume” which paired so well with an outdoor runway show and would look equally as beautiful walking down the street.

There’s no need to wait for spring 2025 to recreate your favorite looks at home! There is no better time than now to play around with runway looks and make them your own

NYFW Goes Very Demure, Very Mindful and Very Dark?

September 14, 2024 by admin Leave a Comment

From fresh and clean to glam with attitude, backstage at New York Fashion Week (NYFW), models sported looks across the whole spectrum. Overall, beauty experts, and designers favored capturing the natural essence of each individual, but that’s not to say that there weren’t dark accents, bold makeup, and even hair standing-on-end.

No matter your preference, there’s a beauty look for everyone.

Keeping it Fresh, Clean and Classic

Expressing individuality with beauty focused on skincare and healthy hair, this season was all about celebrating natural complexions and hair textures, with classic, subtle nails.

A nude, understated manicure that’s anything but boring is the epitome of demure digits. Lead Manicurist and KISS Brand Ambassador, Gina Edwards developed a ‘Smoky Quartz’ nail for Prabal Gurung.

According to Edwards, “This collection for Prabal was all about the light of hope, the festival of color and he wanted something that was soft, but still a statement for the nails. As you see the skin is glass skin, there’s no makeup, the hair is effortless, but we gave them a [beautiful] nail.” To create the look Edwards and her team Kiss Bare But Better Nails, filed into a stiletto shape and cured with blooming gel in stages. “A blooming gel allows any gel color to disperse and so you keep adding and cure it and then you go back in. So, some of it is dispersed in the nail and the other is more a little more vibrant …”

Backstage at Jonathan Simkhai, Christina Esposito, Molly Sim’s personal facialist and skincare expert with Sim’s line YSE Beauty, made sure all the models’ skin looked it’s best. Since skincare was at the forefront of many fashion-week shows rather than a full face of makeup, it’s no surprise that models were pampered with hydrating skin treatments.

“Overall, the YSE line, really puts focus on regenerating the skin,” explains Esposito. “This is a great way to prep your skin for luminosity.” For the show, models were given Overachiever Brightening Eye Masks, Xtremly Rich Hydration, and Skin Glow, which has SPF in it and gives models a photo finish. “They need to be plump and hydrated throughout the day and going under the bright lights and walking on the runway (and even the heat from whatever they’re using on their hair) is going to affect them so YSE’s Xtremely Rich is perfect for keeping them hydrated.” The beautiful clean skin paired well with TRESemmés ‘Tousled Tresses,’ giving models a runway ready look that was true to them.

The Edgier, Glamorous, Darker Side

According to MAC Cosmetics Lead artist, Yadim, “We’ve seen a little bit of a shift toward the sinister, with ‘” Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice” and “Wednesday” and we’re all kind of playing with our dark side; our shadow side and that’s coming up in beauty as well.”

Celebrity Stylist Mustafa Yanaz with TRESemmé, created for AREA not one, but two unique styles; the ‘Electric Pixie’ and the ‘Slept in Slick Back.’ “The collection is all about identity, if you look at the clothes, there’s fingerprints on the clothes … it’s beautiful. So, the whole idea is about identity, and I wanted to work on every girl individually,” Yanaz explains.

For girls with long hair, the goal was natural, lived in, not too perfect hair. However, for the girls with shorter hair, Yanaz wanted to incorporate a punk element by standing the hair up with TRESemmé Extra Hold Mousse and then he locked the look in with TRESemmé Freeze Hold Hairspray to make it stay.

“This season I see a lot of natural hair, which is cool as everybody has different hairstyles. Back in the day, they had one hair[style] which everybody had; long hair with layers. That’s it. These days you see short hair, mullets, shaved heads … and I think it’s great to work with every model individually.”

Yadim paired Yanaz’s hairstyles with three dark and surreal beauty looks. “Some girls will get a very rounded black, juicy, overly glossed lip, which is almost a little ode to like Leigh Bowery, ‘80s nightlife.”

Yadim explains, that the second look is a “very powerful glam moment which feels more Catherine Deneuve in the film “The Hunger,” and then [for the third look,] a couple girls are getting this very surrealist moment where we’re transferring these [fingerprint] tattoo prints … We wanted to bring that print onto the skin and face, so they are really going to be fully covered in the same print as the clothes and that’s the kind of large surrealism [we wanted to bring to life].”

At Theophilio, Miss Pop, Lead Manicurist and ZOYA Brand Ambassador created 5 different looks on both the male and female models. “The look was glam rock for the nails, so we wanted to do a nail that felt great for that. Something sexy. I love an oval nail because it’s sexy but classy.”

To get the look, Miss Pop started off by applying ‘Wila,’ a dark black shade and topping it with either ‘Mimi’ a deep purple glitter polish, ‘Apple’ a bright green glitter, or ‘Kerry’ a yellow gold glitter. “If you want to give it extra ka-pow, you can take a makeup sponge and put the polish on the makeup sponge and then tap down to get even more glitter,” Miss Pop shares. “However, we wanted the black to come through more [for the show] so it’s more glam.”

Private Policy and Michael Fausto also created glam rock eyeshadow looks with shimmery shadows in different shades based on each model’s skin tones. These iridescent shadows showed yet another take on the darker, more opulent side of this season’s biggest trends.

For Those Who Can’t Decide:

Looking for the best of both worlds? Try a hairstyle that plays up your natural texture paired with a dark glittery eye or perhaps an updated French manicure such as the one at Naeem Khan by Pattie Yankee, with a neutral base and a touch of black on the tips.

Naeem Khan’s collection is a tribute to “Wicked” mirroring the characters from pure to wicked. “The nails are an ombré effect form light to dark that have been tapered off into a soft stiletto to make them pointier.”

Backstage the look was airbrushed on, but Yankee has a tip to recreate the look at home. She recommends painting a coat of a nude shade (at the show she used “Be Kind” from her namesake collection) and then a deep black such as “Fill the Void” also from her line, then dab a makeup sponge over it. You can also go back and put a little polish on the sponge, and tap that into your nail, but Yankee recommends starting with that base coat of nude and black painted directly on the nail for the best results.

Are you team clean or team punk glam? Or maybe you’re a mix of both! That’s the best part of beauty, you can always change it up!

Autumnal Nails

For the perfect fall at home mani, check out Manicurist’s line of Green Flash LED gel polishes! Get your nails ready for fall with this line of gel polishes that’s anything but ordinary. Even if you’re not a manicurist yourself, you can easily create salon worthy nails.

You apply their colorful hues like regular nail polish rather than a traditional LED, so anyone can do it. The only difference is that you do need to dry it under a lamp. The color lasts up to 10 days and the best part is it dries instantly and “peels-off” without any acetone or filing! Touted as the first LED polish that can be removed in 60 seconds, it really is a miracle polish. Plus, Green Flash is composed of 84% plant-based ingredients, completely vegan and non-toxic.

Not sure what shade to get? Take a cue from the runway and go for a deep red. Dolce & Gabbana’s fall 2024 runway show in Milan featured models wearing the shade “Pomegranate” to complement their fall 2024 collection. Or take inspiration from the Saint Laurent Show in Paris, where models sported warm fall colors and almond-shaped nails that mixed Manicurists “Green Natural Base Coat” and “Clove” to create a stunning “jelly-like” effect.

Curious? Check out our favorite perfumes that we just can’t get enough of. We have every base covered from sun-kissed scents and sensual pairings to light florals and crisp citrus scents.

El Patron by Tito $199

Puerto Rican rapper Tito El Bambino created a captivating new fragrance in collaboration with perfumer Franganzza Artssences. This perfume is a rich and woody scent with notes of sandalwood and exotic spices. The last note of the fragrance, hidden deep under its woody persona is the delicate floral sweetness in the afternotes. This scent wafts to your nose in layers, intriguing passersby and causing your friends to ask questions about what you are wearing.

Glossier You Perfume $78

Formulated to enhance your natural scent, this special fragrance will be slightly different on everyone as it works with your natural pheromones to create a scent that is uniquely YOU. Overall, the base of this fragrance is sweet with hints of sparkling pepper and earthy iris making it seem familiar and calming.

Tom Ford Mini Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil $40

This scent has summer written all over it. A naturally shimmering body oil, Tom Ford’s Soleil Blanc scent is as warm and spicy as a summer in France. The light weight of the oil is designed to capture the scent of sun-kissed skin and effervescing sensuality with the illuminating shimmers added to the oil to give your skin an extra glow. The keynotes in this summer perfume are a combination of bergamot, pistachio, and coco de mer, giving a rich and beautiful fragrance for the wearer.

Fresh Sugar Lemon Eau de Parfum $84

Fresh Sugar Lemon Eau de Parfum $73

As crisp as lemonade on a summer day and clean as laundry straight off the line, this scent harkens back to childhood lemonade stands and your grandmother’s pearl strands. The scent is classic, simple, and timeless. With base notes of caramel and lemon, the lightweight fragrance is great for day-to-day wear all summer.

Miss Dior Roses and Roses $85

Calling all Dior Girls! This floral version of Dior’s classic ‘Miss Dior’ scent is designed to embody the rose fields in Grasse, France. The scent is light, airy, and feminine, with a hint of mystique only heightened by the zest of bergamot, white musk, and patchouli notes. Coming in a beautiful pink hue, a spritz of this rose scent is all you need to romanticize the warm summer days ahead of you.

Sol De Janeiro Cheirosa ‘62 Eau De Parfum $78

We’ve been talking so much about French summers, but what about the potent heat in South America? Sol De Janerio’s Cheirosa scent strives to capture the Brazilian summer muse, a girl from Ipanema. Using salted caramel, vanilla, and almond with the grounding scent of sandalwood and pistachio, this perfume is both grounding and dreamy.

Summer 2024 Biggest Beauty Trends

June 18, 2024 by admin Leave a Comment

It’s only natural that as the weather warms up, we are ready to lighten up our routine! From your skin to your nails, this season’s biggest beauty trends are lighter, brighter and so easy to master!

Here are Fashion Reverie’s top trends to add a little fun to your beauty routine:

Jelly Nails

Candy-colored, semi-sheer nails are a must-have this season. These soft pastels, with a hint of your natural nail peeking through in jellybean shades, perfectly complement your summer wardrobe.

To get this look at home, try KISS Gel Fantasy Jelly Color Nails and Jelly Fantasy Nails, both available in a range of on-trend colors. These press-on nails are a fantastic way to achieve a trendy manicure at home in just minutes.

Alternatively, swipe on a coat or two of “Cotton Candy” or one of the many other sheer pastel shades from Pattie Yankee. This line is vegan, cruelty-free, and designed to strengthen and make your nails more resilient. Their natural formulas are crafted without the typical harsh chemicals found in most polishes, giving you healthier and more beautiful nails.

Body Glow

An allover, subtle glow is a fantastic way to highlight everything from cheekbones to collarbones. For your face, Bobbi Brown’s Shimmer Brick Compact Highlighter is perfect for adding a soft radiance to your complexion.

For your arms and legs, try Sol De Janeiro’s Glowmotions Glow Body Oil. Designed to mimic a beautiful Brazilian tan, these oils capture light all over, giving you a full-body shimmer that helps you shine in your own skin, even if you haven’t seen the sun in a while.

Balletcore

The spring/summer runways were brimming with ballet-inspired looks, from hairstyles to an abundance of pale pinks. While Barbie pink reigned supreme in 2023, 2024 has embraced a return to softer hues and more romantic styles.

Balletcore hairstyles are all about ribbons and bows. At Christian Siriano, Lacy Redway, a Unilever stylist and celebrity hairstylist, created the “braided corset” look by threading ribbon through two Dutch braids. Redway secured the style with Tresemme Extra Hold Gel and Extra Hold Hairspray.

Alice + Olivia’s “ballerina after ballet class” look was crafted by Matthew Curtis and the team at Sola Salons. They began with a textured base using Living Proof’s Full Dry Volume & Texture Spray, then created two rope braids twisted into a bun with a ribbon tied at the base. The best part of this trend is that you can find the perfect accessories at any craft store!

Beauty with the balletcore theme centers around ballerina pink, with lots of blush. This look is so popular that Beauty Pie’s 2024 Beauty Trend Report shares that searches for balletcore beauty are up 253%! To get the look, start with clean, light skin, drape rosy blush across your cheeks, and use frosted pinks for your eyes and/or lips.

For the perfect blush, look no further than Charlotte Tilbury’s Matte Beauty Blush Wand in “Pillow Talk Pink Pop.” This easy-to-apply rosy hue gives you a naturally flushed complexion, as if you’ve been practicing your pirouettes all day. For your lips, try a pink gloss like Aveda’s Feed My Lips Pure Nourish-Mint lip gloss in “Pepino Melon.” Not only is it a beautiful, light, and shimmery shade, but Aveda’s formula also soothes the appearance of lines on the lips and plumps them up. Plus, it’s vegan and made with a unique blend of botanical oils, fruits, and seeds for extra soft, moisturized

Ditch the heavy makeup and let your natural beauty shine through. To give your skin a boost, check out C for brighter, fresher skin with fewer signs of hyperpigmentation and aging. Formulated with powerful ingredients like Anatolian Propolis Extract (A.P.E), vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, ferulic acid, and vitamin E, this facial serum is ideal for those with sensitive skin. We love that this brand is cruelty-free and woman-owned by Food Scientist and Biologist Dr. Asli Samanci, focusing on the amazing benefits brought to us by bees.

This season, mix up your beauty routine with one of these top trends! Be sure to let us know what you’re planning to try!
