Ulta Beauty’s 21 Days of Beauty – IT COSMETICS Superhero Eye Transforming Anti-Aging Super Palette

IT COSMETICS Superhero Eye Transforming Anti-Aging Super Palette on Belle Belle Beauty

It is that time of year again! Ulta Beauty is in the middle of their Fall 21 Days of Beauty Campaign and it is the perfect time to stock up. I’ll be showcasing a couple favorites over the next week. There are some wonderful finds to take you into the fall season. If you aren’t familiar with Ulta’s festivities, this is how it works: Ulta Beauty offers a new deal on a different product or brand each day.

One of my favorites I have encountered is from a brand I adore for their formulas and anti-aging prowess. IT COSMETICS  Superhero Eye Transforming Anti-Aging Super Palette is one of those palettes that does it all. The shades are so flattering and include base shades that are an everyday staple, crease shades that are neutral while being stunning, and versatile liners.

The formula is where this really shines. Developed with plastic surgeons, it includes collagen, silk, peptides and antioxidants. So the shadow actually improves the look of skin. The “Superhero Eye Foundation” color corrects, neutralizes and smoothes lids. And I might add the silky texture makes it a dream to apply.

The twelves shades are so easy to use for my workday look. These tips from the brand are great for inspiration for new looks. Although I have to admit, I will use just the base shades more often than not, but I do love these ideas when I am feeling creative (and have some extra time when I am getting ready):

Superhero Classic:

  • Dust Superhero Eye Foundation Eyeshadow in Confidence onto lid and up to brow bone as base shade.
  • Sweep Superhero Neutrals in Unstoppable over entire lid.
  • Dip an IT Cosmetics eyeliner brush into your Superhero Liners in Daring and create a line along upper/lower lashline.
  • Buff Superhero Liners in Fearless into your crease using circular motions.

Superhero Smokey:

  • Dust Superhero Eye Foundation Eyeshadow in Magical onto lid and up to brow bone as base shade.
  • Sweep Superhero Neutrals in Superstar over entire lid.
  • Buff Superhero Liners in Daring into your crease using circular motions.
  • Dip a dampened eyeliner brush into your Superhero Liners in the Superhero shade and create a bold line along upper/lower lashline.

Available at Ulta Beauty.

Alterna Haircare Caviar Repair Multi-Vitamin Heat Protection Spray

Alterna Haircare Caviar Repair Multi-Vitamin Heat Protection Spray on Belle Belle Beauty

I’ve been a long-time fan of Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Complete Correction Crème so I was eager to try some of Alterna’s other products from the Caviar line. The brand sent over some of the staples and another favorite quickly emerged:  Alterna Haircare Caviar Repair Multi-Vitamin Heat Protection Spray. 

I have been focusing on protecting my hair from heat lately. I don’t use hot tools, but I have learned that even a hair drying can inflict damage. This vitamin spray protects strands up to 450°F. What I love even more is the restored hydration, vibrancy and elasticity. Marine botanicals deliver moisture and smell delish. My hair is left smooth and with a healthy shine. And smells great too.

Free of Parabens, Sulfates, Phthalates, Synthetic Color, Paraffins, Gluten, DEA/TEA, Phthalates, Mineral Oil & Petrolatum. Available at Sephora.

Fall Style on Belle Belle Beauty

While I completely loved being inspired by the summer fashion in Los Angeles this past weekend, I am totally ready for fall. The streets were full of rompers and sneakers, but the stores had transitioned to autumn-friendly outfits. I can’t wait until we can break out the sweaters, jackets and scarfs. Some finds from on the web I gathered up over the weekend:

Sakara x Tata Harper Eat Pretty Week

Sakara x Tata Harper Eat Pretty Week on Belle Belle Beauty

Back in March, I got hooked on Sakara, a popular meal delivery service out of New York that happened to whip my diet in shape. I love the ultra-healthy meals and included Beauty Elixir, a drink designed for a healthy glow and gorgeous skin. I haven’t ordered a week of meals in a while, but tempted to pick up August 29th’s menu. One of my favorite skin care gurus, Tata Harper, had selected the meals that are specifically beautifying. And as a bonus, the package includes skin care product samples to use throughout the week.

Samples of the following products are included in this week’s Sakara meals: Hydrating Floral Essence, Repairative Moisturizer, Regenerating Cleanser, Rejuvenating Serum.

And here is a peek at the menu:

  • Botanical Bar: Strawberry-juniper filling with antioxidants and skin-rejuvenating, anti-inflammatory botanical herbs. Rolled oats with prebiotic fiber to nourish the microbiome (one of my favorites)
  • Earth Bowl: Hydrating heirloom greens with anti-inflammatory ginger-mustard-sesame dressing. Avocado for healthy fats to nourish the cell membrane and balance hormones to control breakouts. Quinoa and lentils for cleansing fiber
  • Toasted Coconut Granola w/ Green Goddess Mylk: Coconut for healthy fats and healing, antimicrobial lauric acid. Almond mylk with spirulina to lower inflammation and nourish skin with healthy fats and B vitamins
  • Summer Sun Salad: Zucchini noodles for healthy fats. Citrus for collagen-supporting, brightening Vit C. Dried cherries for anthocyanins (antioxidants)
  • Balancing Macro Plate: Broccoli, kale and cabbage (i.e. cruciferous vegetables) for sulfur, required for keratin and collagen production. Mineral-rich seaweed. Carrots for beta-carotene. Brown rice for cleansing fiber. Avocado dressing for healthy fats
