Summer Hair Help from RUSK!

RUSK has a great line of products to rescue summer hair from heat and humidity. RUSK has the Deepshine and the W8less products to meet just about every hair need. My hair has been having major issues this summer and has been very difficult to control so I was really happy to hear about these products. This summer has been brutal with oppressively high temps and extreme humidity, which, of course, has wreaked havoc on my hair. My hair has been very dry and has absolutely no shine so it's been a nightmare to try and style. As a StyleWatch StyleHunter, I was sent a sample of the Deepshine Color Care Lock-in Treatment, which couldn't have come at a better time. I've been using it for a few days now and am liking the results. As soon as you spritz it on, it softens hair and makes it appear richer in color. With daily use, it can help keep your hair color looking more vibrant and extend the time between hair coloring. Below are the products in both lines. 

RUSK Deepshine Color Care Invisible Dry Shampoo is great to use between shampoos to refresh your hair.

RUSK Deepshine Color Care Lock-In Treatment protects color while softening hair.

RUSK W8less Multi 12 in 1 Miracle Leave-In Treatment is a multi-purpose treatment that really does it all.

RUSK W8less Plus Extra Strong Hold Shaping and Control Hairspray holds your hairstyle without making it stiff and sticky.

Fake a Clear, Even Complexion in One Step with Clinique's CC Cream

I've been an avid user of BB creams for the last couple of years and have really liked how they help minimize my pores and make my skin look overall smoother.  Lately, though, I've been hearing more and more about CC creams, aka color correcting creams, and was super curious to find out how these creams would stack up against BB creams.  Luckily, the Vogue Influencer Network sent me Clinique's new Moisture Surge CC cream to try.   

Clinique is one of my favorite makeup brands because it never causes any irritation to my skin and their products always live up to their claims and, I'm happy to report that this one was no exception. I noticed a difference in my skin right away.  

Since this CC cream doubles as a sunscreen, I just applied it directly to my skin.  My skin looked much more even and natural.  It was very light on my skin, but still provided great coverage.  This CC cream gave me a soft, pretty glow, perfect for summer when you want a more effortless appearance.  It makes your skin look naturally healthy and you really can't tell that you are wearing any makeup.  A huge bonus is that you can skip concealer and foundation, which cuts down time on your makeup routine.  Compared to BB creams, I would say Clinique's CC cream is lighter and offers a subtler, but still polished finish.  This CC cream blends seamlessly into skin and is almost a perfect match to skin tone.  In my experience, BB creams don't seem to adjust as well to skin color.  

This CC cream is going to be a summer staple for me because I can finally get that clear complexion without piling on a bunch of products.

Disney and OPI have collaborated to create an eye-catching new line of nail polishes called Couture de Minnie.  There are 5 new shades and each one will add a pop of color to any outfit.  Vogue Influencers will be sending me one of the shades to try out for myself and I can't wait to see which color I get.  I am hoping for one of the glittery ones, though.  

Check out the colors below and let me know which one is your favorite:

Magazine Cover Mouse--This color is gorgeous!  Love how it has this beautiful sparkling shimmer!  It's my fave out of the whole collection.

Minnie Style--A confetti of red and white glitter.

Chic from Ears to Tail--Love this bubblegum pink shade.

A Definite Moust-Have--Bright fuchsia goes perfectly with summer dresses.

Innie Minnie Mightie Bow--Classic deep red gets you instantly glam for any occasion.

Revlon Change Agents

To enter and for full rules go to facebook.com/revlon. Contest ends 11:59 PM ET 10/31/13

Revlon recently started the Change Agents movement to inspire people to make a positive difference and encourage others to do so.  The movement features a series of challenges each month where you can showcase how you are making an impact.  You have the chance to win a Revlon prize package plus a $1,000 reward.  The first challenge is live now and involves uploading a photo of your lips and sharing how you want to beautify your community with acts of kindness.

Below are some of the gorgeous shades of Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede lipsticks you can use to make your voice heard.

Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede lipstick

Thanks to the Vogue Influencers, I had the opportunity to try out the Ultimate Suede lipstick in Socialite and I love the color.  It's a deep nude color that enhances your own lip color and the matte finish with a soft sheen is great for summer.  The buttery soft texture makes it so nice to apply and keeps your lips hydrated for hours.

Quick Beauty Tip for Brows

One great way to get full, natural looking brows is to use a black-brown mascara rather than powder or pencil.  Simply wipe the mascara with a tissue and then directly apply the wand to your brows.  The mascara coats the brows and makes them appear thicker and more defined without the overdone look that pencil and powder can often give.  Another plus, is that brows stay in place for hours.
