Star Magazine's 7th Annual Beauty Awards
Want the scoop on the hottest style trends for summer? Star Magazine's Beauty and Fashion Director, Cheryl Kramer Kaye has the scoop, straight from their 7th annual beauty awards issue.
Summer is all about showing more skin so let's start with body lotion. Sometimes women feel they have to make a tradeoff between a lotion that feels good, or one that works well, Vaseline(R) has come out with a line of Total Moisture(R) body lotions that does both. Vaseline Total Moisture(R) Aloe Fresh is a light feeling lotion that combines pure aloe and stratys-3 multi-layer moisture complex that leaves skin feeling healthy, light and fresh. $3.99 at food, drug and mass retailers, great stuff!
Now to keep lips smooth...the winner is eos smooth sphere lip balm. It comes in super cute, super stylish smooth sphere packaging! Really colorful and fun! Easy to find in a handbag and no icky finger dipping necessary! Looks great on a desk or nightstand! It's an all natural formula that comes in six delicious flavors and USDA certified organic, contains spf, even medicated. Filled with moisturizing shea butter, jojoba oil, and antioxidant Vitamin E to leave lips soft and smooth. It's only $3 at Walmart, Target, Walgreens, and other mass and drug stores. A must have for all ages!
Now, on to hair... John Frieda(R) hair care experts win for their first-ever permanent hair color collection. It's really a breakthrough product for the at-home color experience, because it gives you salon-caliber coverage with flawless results...it has a proprietary foam technology to minimize the uneven coverage and patchiness that you'd typically get from at-home color... and it really empowers every woman to be her own professional colorist. Retails for $12.99.
Unfortunately, keeping that luxurious hair color can be a challenge, especially in the summer. The original Mane 'n Tail Color Protect Conditioner is a deep moisturizing conditioner that strengthens and repairs color treated hair without weighing it down. Micro-enriched proteins strengthen and condition helping to repair dry, damaged hair. It detangles and leaves the hair silky with a full-bodied feel. It's been specially formulated for color treated hair and is safe for all hair types. When used with their Color Protect Shampoo, you get a complete hair care system to help maintain color treatments longer. Mane 'n Tail Color Protect is available at Sally Beauty Supply stores nationwide. Only $6.29 for a 12oz size, such a great deal.
Now for a salon perfect DIY manicure, the winner is Sally Hansen Salon Manicure Cuticle Eraser + Balm. It's a salon tested 2-in-1 formula with white tea and cucumber. Healthy nails start with healthy cuticles and this has an ultra-moisturizing balm that gently loosens and removes overgrown cuticles leaving skin feeling deeply moisturized-fabulous. $6.99 at drugstores
