Valentine’s Day Makeup on FOX23’s Great Day Green Country

Happy Valentine’s Day! While I admit this day isn’t my favorite, I am going to embrace my inner cupid in my most favorite way possible – makeup! If it is a night in or a fancy evening on the town, Valentine’s Day makeup calls for a little romance. May I suggest even if you are single, a swipe of a red lip will put a pep in your step. Today on Great Day Green Country, I am sharing five of my favorite items for this great day of love:

Laura Mercier Spring (and a couple other new favorites)

What’s not to love about Laura Mercier? Her color is all about flawless skin and wearable formulas and shades. Spring is no different. Inspired by Spring Renaissance, expect youthful and fresh colors with lots of shine and glow. Laura achieved this with warm shades, luminous skin and corals and peaches.

Pantone’s Color of The Year 2014 – Radiant Orchid on FOX23’s Great Day Green Country

I have great appreciation for Pantone and their annual “color of the year”. I couldn’t have been more enthusiastic about 2013’s selection, Emerald. But I need to be honest here. I felt like their 2014 selection, Radiant Orchid, was out of nowhere. I couldn’t wrap my head around the ultra-femine and somewhat dated shade. But I leaned into it, started playing with purples, lilacs and violets. And color me wrong. The regal and mysterious shade is actually quite captivating. “Radiant Orchid reaches across the color wheel to intrigue the eye and spark the imagination,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. Now, that I can get behind. This morning, I am on FOX 23’s Great Day Green Country discussing my favorite beauty buys that had my falling for Radiant Orchid.

Brand Spotlight: BeautyCounter

You might have noticed some Beautycounter goodies sprinkled through recent posts (here and here). This unique brand really swept me off my feet. And not just because their products are beautiful. But also because of what Beautycounter is all about. If there is a major trend in beauty these days, it has to be an interest in ingredients and the safety of products we use on our face and body.

Tis the Season to be Pretty With Neutrogena

Plans for New Years Eve? Frankly, I am not one who loves dramatic all out celebration. I prefer a cozy night in with friends, champagne and festive foods! But should you be going for the all-out approach, I have a nice party prep with budget-friendly Neutrogena products. This routine will get you a radiant and flawless complexion, looking great in photos (and in person of course!). #NoFilterNeeded
