Everyday Minerals Cheek Review!

everyday minerals cheek, rhapsody peach blush swatches, rhapsody peach blush reviews, opinions, beauty blog, makeup blog, makeup review, product reviews Oh, the deep flushed cheek! It’s perhaps my favorite trend from Spring/Summer 2010, and Everyday Minerals is so darned good at helping to achieve the look!

I sampled a shade from the (now sold out) Spring collection, named Rhapsody in Peach. I was so impressed with the ripe, bold color this blush delivered!

A full-sized blush retails for $8 (yes… you read that right!) and a mini sample is $2.50. I LOVE when brands offer samples, so you can try out the color in the comfort of your home without committing to the full expense! Another huge pro is the super-smart packaging. The sliding sifter enables you to ensure no product is spilled out into the lid between uses. Brilliant!

Everyday Minerals Cheek color is available in three finishes: Matte, Sheen and Shimmer. Each finish has many different shades to select from! All of the blushes are vegan and cruelty-free… and everything is made right here in the USA!

Everyday Minerals Reviews: Everyday Naturals Lippie!

One of the perks of beauty blogging is that I no longer need to actively hunt to find cool new products… they just end up on my doorstep! When someone from Everyday Minerals introduced me to the brand, I jumped at the chance to sample some of their line! Everyday Minerals caught my eye for a variety of reasons. 1) The brand boasts SUPER LOW pricetags for luxe beauty products. 2) Everyday Minerals products are 100% organic, vegan, and free of parabens, fragrance and dyes. 3) The line is made right here, in the USA!

My favorite product thus far? The Everyday Naturals lippie! The formula boasts some majorly moisturizing ingredients: Primrose Oil, Perilla Seed Oil, Linseed Oil and even exotic Murumuru butter from Brazil! The result is an opaque, righ lipstick that feels sinfully moisturizing on the lips. Seriously… even the driest lips will feel better after wearing this!

Retail price is $8.

Skyy Hadley’s Pedi Perfect Summer Tips!

skyy hadley, as u wish nail spa, hoboken, pedicure advice, pedicure tips, pedicure tricks Skyy Hadley is an extremely sought after manicurist, and the owner of the As “U” Wish Nail Spa in Hoboken, NJ. Her skilled hands have serviced celebrities like Liv Tyler, Claire Danes, Uma Thurman… and even Puffy (Sean Combs). Today, Skyy has these fabulous pedicure tips and tricks to share with Raging Rouge readers!

“For a truly perfect pedicure, you should go to a nail professional. However, when life gets crazy, you often have to take your feet into your own hands,” says Skyy. “When performing a pedicure at home is your only option, there are techniques to follow that will ensure your feet stay healthy and look beautiful.”

TIP ONE: Milk It
After removing nail polish and spraying feet with an antiseptic, soak feet in water and milk. Adding milk is a crucial step as water can strip skin of moisture and leave feet drier. Milk naturally exfoliates and nourishes the skin and it’s right in your refrigerator.

TIP TWO: Care for Cuticles with Caution
Lightly shape the toenails by cutting nails back slightly and massaging toes and feet with cream or oil. After feet have soaked for a few minutes, push back the cuticles – do NOT cut them. Cutting them creates more hangnails and can even lead to infection.

TIP THREE: Scrub Wisely
Lightly buff the nail plate while it is still moist with a cuticle cream or conditioner. Then buff the skin on your feet by applying a foot scrub and massaging the formula deep into the skin, concentrating on trouble spots. To really smooth things over, use a diamond file (avoid pumices as they trap bacteria) on particularly rough patches like the heel and ball of the foot.

TIP FOUR: Stay Polished
To maintain and prolong color, use a primer on the nails first. This step actually dehydrates the nail by bringing the natural oils out, making color grip longer. After applying color, add a top coat. Three days later, apply a top coat again to prevent color from chipping.

TIP FIVE: Smooth Things Over
Keep heels from cracking by massaging shea butter, light oil and/or Vaseline at night. Then, put socks on so the skin can absorb the formula even deeper overnight.
