New Year New Beautiful You!

For many of us, the new year marks a new opportunity to make our beauty regimen more efficient and affordable. Who wants to spend more time and energy on makeup when you could spend it pursuing your resolutions? With that in mind, Polly Blitzer, founder of beautyblitz.com, has gathered her favorite new beauty products that will have your needs covered without breaking the bank.In 2013, you can love your skin and love the earth at the same time with Nourish Organic Food for Healthy Skin. 'It's hard to find [green products] that really work,' Polly told us. 'Nourish is this incredible line that's the first beauty care line to get the USDA National Organic Certification. And that's because it's made with organic fruit extracts, vegetable extracts, essential oils, really good ingredients that smell good and actually work' Products range from a creamy hand wash and moisturizing shea-based body wash to a body butter for dry skin and one of the first all-natural, organic deodorants. They have created a wide range of scents to please anyone, including lavender mint and wild berries. The Nourish line lets you be green without spending too much green, and each item is available for $8-10 at ULTA. A new season is also a great opportunity to update your makeup bag and rejuvenate your look. Polly loves Maybelline New York for its products that refresh and revitalize; and its new anti-aging tools from their Instant Age Rewind Collection are no exception. The "lifter" is their first-ever lifting foundation with a smoothing primer, giving you firmer and smooth skin instantly. Then, the "Perfector," a perfecting powder with shea butter and jojoba-enriched primer, combats dullness, discoloration and dryness; all in one compact. Polly's favorite new product, a true breakthrough, is the Eraser: 'It's actually a spot concealer for dark spots that contains a vitamin C treatment, so that you can actually instantly cover spots and then gradually fade them and hide them over time.' These are all available at drug stores for truly affordable prices: from $9.99 to $13.99.To make sure you've got a new look from head-to-toe this year, Polly has a not-so-secret hair weapon: Vidal Sassoon's Pro Series. 'I love the new Vidal Sassoon Pro Series,' Polly shared. 'It just launched, it's incredible, it's a hair color, hair care, and hair styling line...and it just lets you get that salon look at home without much effort.'One of Polly's favorites for wintertime care is the repair and finish spray. When the weather makes your hair dry and brittle, the spray works double-duty to repair smoothness and give you flexible hold for a silky style. Every product in the Vidal Sassoon Pro Series is under $5, with the exception of the $9 color kits. These great deals are available at drug stores nationwide.
