The EcoTools Essentials: Makeup & Hair Brushes

by

[Starter Set brush kit and Expert Thermal Styler hairbrush]

Calling all newcomers to EcoTools: there are two new great introductory products that may very well have you hooked!  The brand prides itself on being a leader in the world of eco-friendly beauty products, and carries a range of bath-friendly items  to hair brushes and cosmetic accessories.

Your first foray into the makeup brush side of EcoTools should be the Starter Set brush Kit . The set covers all of the essential makeup categories (some brushes can double up for various kinds of makeup): Blush, Shading, Angled Eye-liner, Concealer, and the LashBand Brow Groomer. At only $12.99, it provides a great value and even comes with a travel sized cosmetic bag to protect your brushes, wherever they may roam.

The second noteworthy brush is the Expert Thermal Styler hair brush. This tool enables professional-looking blowouts a reality for anyone, and comes in two sizes (large and small) for use, depending on your hair length. The brush is designed to create long-lasting style and volume, and even reduces dry time by up to 20%, which also reduces the exposure to heat damage. The large size, for medium-to-long hair, is priced at $13.99, and the smaller size, for shorter hair, is priced at $12.99.

EcoTools products are always available online and in select retailers worldwide, such as Ulta.

A Little Bit Boho

by

P1110637

It’s kind of unbelievable how long the boho trend has been going on, but it does make sense when you consider how it represents an ease of getting dressed and generally being quite comfortable when wearing the vast majority of its pieces. The concept of “festival attire” is so huge these days and clearly ties into the trend, but when attending one may be more of an anomaly in your life rather than the routine norm, boho needs to prep and evolve for steady weekend use instead. Borrowing one ore two elements from it (the blouse, the bag) and working it into what I already regularly wear makes it more “me,” appropriate for a variety of occasions, and way less costume-y.

zenni eyewear sephora

I’ve been wearing my new Niemeyer blue tortoiseshell eyeglasses from the Zenni Optical Metropolitan Collection pretty much non-stop this past month, and now that the weather is becoming warmer, a nice pop of color on my lips is a beautiful, added contrast to the look. The Sephora Rouge Balm SPF 20 in Gentle Coral is not only adds a perfect pop of peachy coral, but just like the Zenni takes care of my vision, this creamy gel balm does so for my lips with a SPF 20 wax concentrate, yuzu extract, and a vitamin E derivative to nourish and protect. Plus,this new addition to the Sephora Collection of makeup comes in eight different color options with packaging that reflects the shade found inside of the tube. If you’re more in the market for new eyeglasses than a tinted balm, check out Zenni Optical‘s stylish silhouettes, that start at as low as $6.95 (yes, that’s right!) for frames AND lenses!
