I think I would start by prepping the skin VERY well, and there's only ONE brand that does Glass-Skin-CARE the best and that's Glow Recipe! I'm obsessed with their Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask as well as the Watermelon Pink Juice! When used simultaneously they create a hyper-smooth, reflective shine to the skin. And if that itsn't enough, finishing your makeup with their Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist is sure to set your makeup with a lasting glow! Hope this helps!

P.S.: Oh and you might as well finsih the look with a little Watermelon Glow Lip POP!

Hi Beauty Directors! I think we are all under a lot more stress than usual. So what are your favorite self care items that might help with stress?

[DavidBD]

@faeriegirl yea i think we are all trying to reduce stress these days haha! for me i looooove face masks! i have sensitive reactive skin so i have to be careful with new skincare but masks and home peels etc are something i can do and get great immediate results and also pamper myself a bit . right now I'm loving SK-II Brightening Serum Facial Treatment Sheet Masks 10 masks / pack( this is noooo joke good) WANDER BEAUTY - Baggage Claim Eye Masks( seriously makes my eyes look 10 years younger ) FARMACY - Coconut Gel Sheet Mask - Hydrating ( incredible hydration that visibly plumps the skin ) Dermalogica MultiVitamin Power Recovery Mask 2.5/75( a great all around high concentration recovery and nourishment mask)

@faeriegirl This question is completely apropos for this moment in time, as I'm sure everyone's "energy" could use a little "lift." Self-care is the best way to do it! So in response I have to say that I am obsessed two major de-stressors sold at Sephora!

First up, I have to give a shout out to Moon Juice's SuperYou Daily Stress Management Supplement. I have been taking this product for about a year now and it has changed my life! There was actually about 2 months there where I was out and I could SERIOUSLY tell the difference. It has a blend of adaptogenic herbs to help your body's naturally ability to react to stress, and preventing it from wreaking havoc on your skin. All you have to do is take two capsules each morning with our without food so it easily fits into any lifestyle (I know I don't ALWAYS get breakfast, even though it's the most important meal of the day!) I strongly recommend them, asI"m on my 11 bottle, and if you want to just give it a try without the commitment of a whole month, you might try their new "beauty-on-the-fly" size!

MOON JUICE - SuperYou® Daily Stress Management Mini

The moon rises and sets in YOU, Boo!

Then there's Banana Soufflé Moisture Créme which is hands down the best way I've found to calm and relieve stress from my skin. The magnesium from the banana plus added magnesium powder are amazing at keeping redness at bay and the lightweight texture feels amazing on application. It's sinks into the skin to deliver a deep hydration that quenches and calms! I've turned on all my friends to it. Looks like you're part of the club!

GLOW RECIPE - Banana Soufflé Moisture Cream

My first introduction to the product at the opening evening last winter! What a cutie!

Hope this offers a little respite in such turbulent times! Digital HUGZ! *Squeeze*

Hello,

For the Sephora play box we get each month is there another way to help get better colors for lips lets say?  We did the profile, but keep getting really deep colors for lips and she only wears light colors. The last three all had deep colors of red or plum.

Thank you in advance
