Protecting your skin in the Winter Season

Winter season can be extremely stressful on your skin because of cold temperatures outside as well as humidity from being indoors. When you shift between the cold outside and the warm inside, the difference is so stressful on your skin that your skin naturally cannot balance itself quickly enough. The results of this combination cause loss of hydration, irritation, widened capillaries and redness; so just because its winter doesn’t mean that you stop taking care of your skin. Here at MissionBeautyOnline.com we have several lines that offer the best skin care products that you will need to treat your skin.

One product that I recommend is the Tropical Vanilla Sun Cream by Eminence; it has Natural SPF protection for all skins with broad spectrum UVA/UVB/UVC protection. It treats your skin with the protection of zinc in a UVA/UVB/UVC blocker specially designed for your face. It combines hydrating and revitalizing shea butter with the soothing aroma of vanilla to care for your skin with the defenses of natural SPF. The great thing about this product is that it hydrates and protects your skin.

Another great Eminence product is the Tomato Sun Cream SPF16; it works as a natural Sunscreen & Moisturizer. Its Benefits are listed below:
• Increases the level of moisture retention in the skin
• Full range of UV sun protection: UVA, UVB & UVC
• significantly reduces inflammation and darkening of the skin
• Supplies the skin with bioflavonoids and nutrients
• Helps to protect the skin from photo-aging
• Maintains and improves moisture levels
• Protects against environmental damage

But creams and moisturizers might not be enough protection during the winter season. Since most of us ladies cover our skin up with foundation and powders, and unfortunately some aren’t made to protect your skin. I would use the Sunforgettable Eyescreen by ColoreScience, a product recently featured in Shape Magazine.

Merciless sun rays are often to blame for breaking down the skin's elasticity and natural resistance around the eyes; leaving an already sensitive area even more prone to dreaded wrinkles and age spots. Protect, diffuse, and accentuate with Sunforgettable SPF30 Eyescreen.

The light pink powder plays tricks on the eyes, camouflaging dark circles and fine lines in just a few quick, magical strokes. Velvety in feel, Eyescreen brightens the eye area while concealing. Used alone or over other products Eyescreen will have you proclaiming, "EYE LOVE COLORESCIENCE!"

So Don't Forget to Check out these products at MissionBeautyOnline.com

How to Look your best this Holiday Season!

During the Holiday Season we all want to look our best, whether it’s a party or an everyday event. In today’s world of fashion, to be “in” is more than just having the right haircut or clothes. It’s also about how to wear your makeup. We all have different styles, and different goals on how we want to look. One holiday trend this year is a chic, deep dark lip. Plum, Raspberry, and Wine colors are recommended. But if you’re fair skinned like me, you might not like such a dark color for your complexion. But not to worry you can still be in style with a dark lip, not using the above colors. Instead of the dark purples, and dark maroons; I recommend Brick Reds and Dark Pinks.



Whether you prefer a stain, a gloss, or a lipstick; a dark lip balances perfectly between classic and sexy. It’s a look that can never go wrong, combine it with a Nude eye shadow makes for a classy everyday look. For a more glam look combine it with the never failing Smokey eye. Which ever is the look for you during the winter season, dark lips is a look that goes with every occasion. To choose the right look for you; you must first ask yourself am I a gloss, lipstick or stain kind of girl? Choosing between the three is somewhat difficult, but it really depends on what you’re looking for in your lip color. Below I have listed the benefits of all three.

Lip Gloss: You want to use lip gloss to give you lips more volume giving your lips a fuller look.

Lip Stick: You want to use lipstick to give your lips a thick creamy texture that both hydrates your lips, and give you longer wear and more coverage.



Lip Stain: You want to use a lip stain to tint your lips with smudge proof color and coverage that lasts all day.

We all have our preferences on our make-up but it’s good to sometimes switch it up for a new look. So whether you prefer a gloss to a lipstick, or you prefer a lipstick to a stain try something new, you just might be surprised. Once you decide on a lipstick, a stain or a gloss, you then ask yourselves what band to choose. I recommended three products that I believe you will love!

If you are looking for a stain I highly recommend the Pomegranate Crush Lip & Cheek Stain by Stila. It’s infused with a naturally staining pomegranate extract, so that it reads and reacts to your personal pH levels to create a personalized deep plum shade. Leaving your lips and cheeks with a youthful glow.

If you are looking for a Lip Gloss I would recommend the Cherry Sparkle Gloss by Jane Iredale. This gloss is shiny, soothing, protective- and let’s not forget super sexy! Jane Iredale’s tingly mint and ginger flavor plumps without chemicals. This gloss leaves you with lips that speak louder than words!

If you are looking for a Lipstick I would aim you toward Drama Queen by Mirabella. This lipstick gives you a Rich, high-pigment shade that goes on smooth and stays put with no bleeding.

To complete your look for a classy everyday look, I recommend the natural eye shadow palette by Stila. The Natural eye shadow palette is a beautiful collection of Stila's award-winning eye shadows in wearable, neutral shades for every skin tone that can be worn wet or dry. The palette also includes an exclusive Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Damsel, a matte chocolate brown, and a 6-page look book with detailed how-to tips and tricks. If you’re looking for a look with a little more drama, I also recommend Girls on Film Smokebox Palette by Smashbox. This Palette will make your eyes Smolder like an A-list starlet with a sultry palette of dramatic shades, perfect for creating any smoky eye look.
So ladies now that I’ve given you the tips and tricks to make your eyes and lips trendy for this holiday season, It’s up too you to create that perfect look, Whether you’re going for the everyday classy look or spicing it up for a night out on the town. Either way you’ll be looking sassy this Holiday Season!

Eye's Wide Open!

Most often the first thing a person looks at or into is the eyes, however its often the one thing that we neglect the most! I recently spoke with an estitician who gave me the downlow on why taking care of your eyes is a must!

Using anti-aging products daily is an effective way to maintain younger-looking skin. However, it’s important not to forget about your eyes. The delicate skin around your eyes is the most sensitive skin on your face—and the most susceptible to aging. The most important thing you can do for your eyes is apply an anti-aging/hydrating cream or serum on a daily basis. Applying a cream or a serum provides hydration and anti-aging benefits. These two things will help slow down your eyes from developing crows feet, wrinkles, and sun spots. If you're looking to hydrate the skin around your eyes, it is best to use an eye cream, this thicker consistency will supply more moisture to your eye area. For someone looking for an eye cream with less consistency a serum is the perfect choice. Serums are not as thick but still supply you with enough hydration and anti-aging benefits, just like a cream would.

So, by simply taking our advice and applying an eye cream or a serum on a daily basis can help prevent aging and keep your eyes hydrated and looking beautiful!

5 Beauty Must Do's!!!

Trends come and trends go and this season you don't want to be caught in public looking like last year! We have some great beauty must do's that will keep you looking classy and trendy this season!

Beauty Do #1: Goodbye Helmet Head

No matter the trends, the less done your hair looks, the fresher you'll look. If you opt to curl your hair, finger comb out the curls to give it a natural wavy look. If you opt for a bun on the back of the head, set it at the nape of your neck and let it get messy. If you're off to a formal event, leave your hair loose and sexy, but make sure to spend more time on your makeup.             
                                                                                      
Beauty Do #2: Contrasting

Play up your eyes or your mouth, never both or you risk looking too overly done. Nude lips and smokey eyes is a great look. Or you could go for the red lips and natural eyes.

                                                 

Beauty Do #3: Always Apply Sunscreen

I am sure you have heard this preached enough, but its so important! Sunscreen no matter the season is an important beauty must! If you can get into the habit of applying sunscreen daily, you will keep your skin looking younger...this is a great anti-aging tool!!!

If you don't want to bother with applying too many lotions, consider a tinted moisturizer with and SPF of at least 15.

Beauty Tip #4: Keep your nails manicured

Maintaining healthy nails is a must! There is nothing more feminine than a women with a nice manicure. You can keep it natural with neutral colors such as pale pinks or go the flirty route with bright colors such as red. Trust me a man notices and its it takes hardly any time to keep them pretty!!!
                                                                                                                                
Beauty Tip #5: Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate

Now that the weather is changing and your skin will become dryer and flaky it is so important to exfoliate! Exfoliating with rid of flaky skin, even your pigmentation and keep your complexion bright. So gals make sure to exfoliate at least twice a week this winter.

Fall SkinCare Tips!

 The air is crisp and the shorts are packed away. Autumn is here!

As the weather changes, you might notice changes in your skin too. No worries, though. With a few simple tricks your skin will stay looking and feeling great!

Here are 10 skin care tips for fall to keep you looking beautiful through the fall season.

1. Reassess Your Body Cleanser

In the summer, fruity shower gels are a popular treat, but just be sure that your current favorite isn't going to dry out your skin when the dry cold weather comes in. You'll want to find a shower gel that is soap-free as well as hydrating. In the fall and winter, I like to put away the gels and bring out a creamy body wash.

A great shower gel that not only smells fantastic but keeps your skin hydrated and looking radiant is the Cranberry Naseberry Yougurt Body Wash by Eminence. This Gentle Exfoliating & Nourishing body wash is ideal for keeping your skin hydrated by gently exfoilating the skin with fruit lactic acids. It also nourishes and hydrates the skin by infusing the skin with vitamins and nutrients.

                                                                                                                       
2. Moisturize Every Single Day

I can't stress this enough; if you want to keep dry skin at bay, you must hydrate your skin on a daily basis. The best time to apply your lotion is right after you've dried off after your shower or bath. Seal in the moisture that's already been absorbed into your skin.

Try Hempz Herbal Body Moisturizer. This product is great for locking in moisture and keeping your skin hydrated all day!



3. Analyze Your Skin

When the seasons change, you may notice your skin type changes as well. This is the time where some with oily skin might notice their skin turns a bit normal, or those with normal skin might consider their skin is suddenly dry.

Watch your skin as the weather turns cold to see if you need to change up your skin care products and switch them accordingly. If you aren't sure whether your skin needs a new regime, try talking to a consultant at a cosmetics counter. Many times they can ask you simple questions to see what skin care type you fall in.


4. Don't Forget Sunscreen

Just because your not lying on a beach doesn't mean you can forget the sunscreen for the next 6 months. Sunscreen is a daily essential, so don't set it aside.

Use a moisturizer with SPF 15 at the minimum and reapply with a facial sunscreen throughout the day as needed. One of the best facial sunscreens around is Dermalogica Daily Defense Block SPF 15.



5. Remember Your Feet

Repeat after me, "I will not let my feet go without proper care this fall and winter". Say it, and mean it. Your feet are going to be stuck inside your boots and heals for months to come, and if you continue taking care of them and exfoliating them on a regular basis, you'll have no problem popping back on your sandals when the time comes.

Plus, having nice feet just make you feel good, so grab a foot scrub and keep it in your shower. One of my favorites is Nordic Care's Sea Salt Scrub. This scrub can do wonders for your feet and its enexpensive!
Scrub your feet 1-2 times a week and you'll enjoy soft feet that won't snag your sheets.

6. Invest in a Cuticle Oil

One tell-tale sign of cold weather is dry cuticles. And many times your regular hand cream isn't heavy-duty enough to tackle dry cuticles. By investing in a cuticle oil, you can quickly take care of the cracked skin and avoid that painful condition that's so wide-spread in the cold months.

Simple apply oil onto your cuticles and rub in. Do this a couple times a week for best protection. A great cuticle oil I love is O.P.I Avoplex Cuticle Oil to go.
                                                                                 

Use these 6 fall tips to keep your skin looking and feeling amazing!!!

Holiday Makeup Tips

Holiday parties are just around the corner and to get you looking fab for any holiday/cocktail party coming your way, we have just the makeup tips you'll need!!!
Two of the hottest makeup trends this holiday season are both classic and hot right now: The smokey, shimmery eye paired with light lips or the deep red lips balanced with a light eye. Shimmer is in this year, as it was last year, and it's the perfect festive look for any party!
Lighter shades of softer eye shadows downplay your eyes, since you’ve already highlighted your lips. Choose light to medium shades of blues, greens, and browns, pinks, and violet colors. Don’t draw attention to both your lips and your eyes or it’ll look like overkill holiday make up!

Apply a touch of shimmer to brow bones and inside your eyes for extra pizazz. Add false eyelashes for added pop! Draw attention to your cheeks by using a soft pink or peach blush with a highlight of white, silver, or gold on the very top of the cheekbones. Try Too Faced Glamer Dust for an inexpensive great look. Not too much, but just enough shimmer, will make you look like a million dollars in your holiday make up!

One must have product this season is a primer. Primers are a great tool for both the face and eyes. Primers go on before foundation or eye shadow which helps keep your makeup in place for hours.They also fill in fine lines and skin imperfections so your tinted moisturizer goes on smoothly. 
You can also use translucent powders instead. These go on very light and can also fill in lines and diminish age spots and other blemishes. If applied after work, they can also soak up any excess facial oils you’ve accumulated over the day.
 Follow these holiday makeup musts and you will look glamourouse for any holiday party you attend!!!
