I’m On POPSUGAR Beauty!

I'm On POPSUGAR Beauty! // Belle Belle Beauty

Talk about a great day yesterday! Not only did I visit FOX23’s Great Day Green Country. I was interviewed by the public television station here, OETA, about living in my beloved Downtown Tulsa. And it is such an honor to be the first POPSUGAR Select beauty blogger to become published on POPSUGAR Beauty (aka bellasugar.com, a long long long time favorite site of mine)! Make sure you head over to check out the post. I can’t wait to hear what you think about A Bridal Shower Makeup Look That Takes the Cake. Cheers!

Beauty Time Capsule

   1986 Olay ad - Dawning of a Beautiful Ritual // Belle Belle Beauty

There is something so profound about looking back at beauty trends of the past. These ads have me pondering how down the road, we will look at the beauty trends and advertisements we see today.

1934 Clairol Print Ad - The Complete Clairol // Belle Belle Beauty

1999 Herbal Essences Work Yourself into a Lather print ad // Belle Belle Beauty

1935 Clairol Print // Belle Belle Beauty

1989 Aussie Product Line-Up // Belle Belle Beauty

I’m sure, in the future, we will look back at some of our crazy trends with a smile. With that in mind, brands like COVERGIRL, Olay and Pantene are coming together to create a time capsule to be opened in 2038 with some of our current favorite products. Today through June 27th, you can vote on Facebook on what products should be locked away. Just pop on over to StyleUnited on Facebook. And here’s a fun video below commemorates some of those iconic looks we’ve embraced over the years.

Celebrate World Oceans Day with H2O Plus!

Celebrate World Oceans Day with H2O Plus! // Belle Belle Beauty

I’m a water girl. To me, there is nothing better than dipping my sandy feet into the ocean and basking on the beach. So, World Oceans Day is a celebration I can get behind. With EarthEcho International, H2O Plus is encouraging us to take care of this vital resource and natural beauty. H2O Plus will donate 10% of net sales from Restore Our Water Planet Shower Gel to EarthEcho International.

Like other H2O Plus shower gels, this formula is packed with vitamins and antioxidants to leave skin nourished and clean. Watercress Extract and Iceland Moss work to keep skin smooth while Aloe Vera locks in nutrients. The scent takes you seaside – clean and fresh. And the packaging couldn’t be more beachy: underwater illustrations and messages promoting the World Oceans Day cause.

Ken Paves’ You Are Beautiful Signed Copy GIVEAWAY

Ken Paves' You Are Beautiful Signed Copy GIVEAWAY // Belle Belle Beauty

I’ve had my nose in Ken Paves’ new book, You Are Beautiful, for the past couple of weeks. While I always was a fan, I admit I didn’t know too much about his background. Wow – what a story. His Detroit roots and career journey are certainly inspirational. After an introduction to what Ken is all about, he dives in loads of easy beauty tips.

What makes this book different is Ken covers advice for all. He references his work with women of all ages, ethnicities, shapes, and sizes. I particularly love this time-saving styling tips and quick fixes in an emergency. He doesn’t stop there… the book also touches on makeup and clothes. Not to mention a little guest chapter by Sara Lucero, celebrity makeup artist for Stila Cosmetics (one of my absolute faves).

In case you aren’t familiar with Ken, he’s a true celebrity stylist.
