From the LifeMinute team
It's time to swap out your makeup and beauty routine for the summer. Here to help overhaul your beauty bag is expert Melissa Foss with fabulous buys to transition your look flawlessly.
Miracle Mani
Melissa's Tip: "A manicure is something that will look great no matter how hot it gets outside."
Sally Hansen's Miracle Gel collection creates a shiny long-lasting look that you can do at home. It's actually the first salon-quality gel where you get pro results sans the salon and LED lights to dry it. With 47 super chic shades you will be able to keep your nails fresh all summer long. Apply two coats and then seal it with the Miracle Gel Top Coat to last up to fourteen days. You can also easily remove the color at home with regular nail polish remover. It's available in early August at drugstores for $9.99 and in the meantime check out more at sallyhansen.com.
Curvy Lashes
Melissa's Tip: "You want to get a bold eye look."
To do that she recommends a killer mascara such as Rimmel London Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves Mascara. It has a new revolutionary broken heart shaped brush which deposits the mascara onto each and every lash in one fell swoop to give you volumnized, lifted and curled lashes immediately. It's available at drugstores for only $5.99 and rimmellondon.com where you can try their virtual makeup app. Just upload your picture and try on different looks, all from home.
Signature Scent
Melissa's Tip: "You want to try something new because the scent smells different on your skin when it's hot."
She insists on the Love 2 Love collection, which comes in four delicious smelling scents including Orange Blossom and White Musk, Freesia and Violet Petals, Jasmine and Sparkling Mimosa and Fresh Rose and Peach. Yum! The innovative scents actually come in packaging infused with the fragrance itself so you don't even have to open to try it. Just $10 each at Walmart and walmart.com.
Luscious Lips
Melissa's Tip: "Ladies what you always need especially in the summer is a luscious lip color that will last and last and last no matter how hot it gets."
The New York Color CityProof Twistables come in 12 fabulous shades that glide right on and can easily be tossed in your bag for touch ups. You don't even need a mirror to apply it because it's sheer making it almost impossible to mess up. Just $2.99 a pop so you can pick up a few.
