Get A Free Sephora Gift Card, Courtesy of Wrapp!

by Julia DiNardo

 

Courtesy of WRAPP, we are so thrilled to be giving away to the fabulous, Fashion Pulse Daily readers 1500 $5 Sephora gift cards!! Use this link at Wrapp.com to get your gift card — which you can easily use online or in-store! Score!!

So what is Wrapp, you may ask? It’s a gifting app (which I am ADDICTED to), that makes shopping, gifting, and donating WAY easier for all parties involved! No matter who is on your list, Wrapp provides preloaded gift cards with options from Zappos, Sephora, SpaFinder Wellness, Banana Republic, Gap, H&M, Rent the Runway, Fab.com, Adidas, and more. Plus, there are options to gift people gift cards, that you can actually do for FREE.

You can link it to your Facebook profile so that it pulls in info and notifies you when someone’s birthday is coming up — that way you won’t have to ever send something overnight FedEx because you totally forgot a good friend’s bday.

 

All items pictured above are only $5 each (you can find these, and more, here)! You can choose through tons of stuff at $5, or add the gift card to a beauty item on your must-have list for some extra savings.

Enjoy, and Happy Holidays!

Love,

Julia, the FPD Team, and Wrapp

FYI – once you get your $5 gift card, you have 30 days to use it until it expires; all 1500 of the FPD/Wrapp Sephora gift cards are available until they are all taken by you, my lovely readers!

Paraben-Free; a Natural Approach to Skin Care

by fashion pulse contributor

There’s been a lot of questions regarding what parabens are, and why they should be avoided, so we decided to pull together some definitions and products to help to shed light on the subject. When’s the last time you looked at the ingredients in your face soap or moisturizer? Maybe it’s time to start paying attention and deciding what you want and don’t want on your body.

What are parabens? A paraben is any of a group of compounds used as preservatives in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and the food industry (dictionary.com).

What products have parabens? Shampoos, moisturizers, lipstick, foundation, concealer, toothpaste, deodorant, shaving and cleansing gels to name a few. Without parabens, bacteria would begin to develop in the product, potentially harming users.

Why should we avoid parabens? Recently, health concerns are popping up as we are being told to steer clear of paraben products. They are being linked to cancer and/or hormonal disruptions. Whether or not they are incredibly harmful remains in question, but for those who wish to err on the side of safety, we’ve found plenty of products that do not contain parabens.

1. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil-Free Lotion: A lightweight moisturizer designed to leave a balanced appearance, priced at $24.50.

2. Neutrogena Naturals is a line devoted to pure, natural skincare. Prices range from a $2.99 lip balm to a $7.49 cleanser.

3. Tarte 24.7 Natural Lip Sheer, SPF 15 gives lips a “treat-mint” with vitamin E and a breath freshening burst, all for $16. Available in 5 shades at Ulta.com.

4. bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation, $25, gives flawless coverage without any harmful substances. Made from only pure, crushed minerals, this powder feels like a cream. Check out the entire Bare Escentuals line available at Sephora.com

5. Laura Geller Sugar Free Blush and Brighten Boysenberry, $29.50 The matte finish of this blush provides a warm, natural-looking flush to the skin, while the color palette is just exquisite to look at.

The preservatives may help shelf life, but these paraben-free products are more concerned with real life. If the results are real, why not take a natural approach to skincare? To find a range of products and brands specifically paraben free and/or made mainly of natural ingredients, most beauty e-tailers now offer sections dedicated just to that classification at places like Sephora, ULTA, and Drugstore.com.

Amazing Cosmetics Lives Up to its Name!

by fashionpulse


I was introduced to this line of products at the Maria Pinto show last season (they provided the makeup looks) and the Chicago-based Amazing Cosmetics most certainly did not disappoint! Available online at Sephora.com, I can’t get enough of their incredible concealer, that takes care of the pinkest of pimples and darkest of under eye circles, but I also tested and loved their Suede Collection eye shadow quad in Wheat, which gives one the guidance to create a variety of looks using contour and liner capabilities. Check out the entire line of products, and support a very cool company on the rise!

Beauty Buzz: Sally Hansen Airbrush Spray Foundation

by fashionpulse

2201467

Initially I had my reservations about spray foundation; it could potentially be very messy, and very different than what I’ve been used to with the traditional liquid foundations. My Mom has used the expensive Dior Airflash Spray foundation ($60), but I was equipped with the $13.99 Airbrush Spray Makeup from Sally Hansen. Although the natural inclination would be to just spray it directly onto your face, DON’T DO IT! Unless you’re naked or want to dowse your clothes in spray foundation, I’d recommend spraying it onto your hand, or onto a sponge instead. For more helpful tips, check out this video at Stylist.com coincidentally by Carmindy, Sally Hansen’s consultant and resident beauty expert.  Back to the product: I tested it out in “light”, and the major observations I made were: 1) I didn’t really need that much spray to get all-over coverage, and 2) the foundation seemed to blend better into my skin, opposed to sitting on top of it like some other regular foundations tend to do. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this Spray Foundation, which is also paraben free,  with olive oil extract, chamomile and Vitamin A.
