How to Get Glowy Skin

Getting your hands on a retinol is also key. Retinol is a vitamin A added to creams that boosts the amount of collagen your body makes and reveals the dewy layer of skin.

Artboard_1_copy_1024x1024 - Theresa Lehner.jpg

With summer finally being here, it’s your time to glow. I recently reached out to my Aunt, a dermatologist, to get some tips on how we can achieve a dewy look. This isn’t rocket science, nor will it suck the life out of your bank account. Here are four tips to have you glowing in no time.

The first and most important element to achieve great skin is to make sure you stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water will overall improve your body’s health and does wonders for your most important organ: your skin. We also have to think long-term when it comes to skin as well - you’ve heard it millions of times, but applying SPF daily is the most prominent way to keep your skin healthy, and dewy.

gopure-retinol-facial-duo-kit-retinol-cream-and-serum-98 - Theresa Lehner.jpg

Getting your hands on a retinol is also key. Retinol is a vitamin A added to creams that boosts the amount of collagen your body makes and reveals the dewy layer of skin. It does wonders, cutting down fine lines and wrinkles. It may also correct skin tone and color, as well as brightening the skin overall. Adding a vitamin C to your skin care is also a must. They really work. Vitamin C serum can treat uneven skin tone, texture problems, wrinkles, scars, and in general dullness of the skin.

Coming from a dermatologist this should have you glowing in no time, our skin is important and it’s crucial we take care of it.

4 Brands Whose Pride Collection Proceeds Actually go to LGBTQ+ Advocacy Groups

Although it is nice to see brands transform their logos to incorporate the ten color rainbow of the Pride flag, do these companies actually stand with the LGBTQ+ community?

It’s pride month. One of my favorite national months of the year because it's all about love, acceptance, and pride! Clearly. One of my favorite parts of this month is the way brands include the rainbow colors of the Pride into their clothing and logos in order to show support to members of the LGBTQ+ community. And although this gesture is nice to see, it got me thinking about how these bands are truly giving back to this community. It also made me question if these displays are actually sincere. Why should I spend my coin on a pride tee shirt if the brand has no affiliations with LGBTQ+ charities? So I went on a search to find brands that are actually giving the proceeds of its pride collections to LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.

ASOS pledged to give 100% of the proceeds from the pride collection to The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). This is the fourth year that the clothing brand has worked with them. This non-profit's goal is to accelerate the acceptance and equality of the LGBTQ+ community.

UGG Australia released the Pride edition of everyone’s favorite fluffy sandals. The Pride FluffYeah sandal will be sold year-round. Ugg has also pledged to donate $125,000 to GLAAD.

NIKE - Lauren Tucker.png

Nike’s BeTrue Collections is all about “The Power of The Team”. The collection includes the classic Air Force Ones with a 10 color Pride flag heel patch. They pledged to donate $500,000 to 20 organizations whose mission is to advocate for and advance the LGBTQ+ community. The grants will be $25,000 administered by Charities of America.

MORPHE - Lauren Tucker.png

Aside from clothing, Morphe Cosmetics launched a “Free To Be” collection. All of the net proceeds from this collection will go to the GLSEN, which is an educational organization whose mission is to end discrimination and bullying based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression. The goal to raise awareness and tolerance of LGBTQ culture in K-12 education.

Who’s ready for the lipstick of the summer? Fenty Beauty recently announced it would be releasing a summer launch of its new Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick. Rihanna, founder of Fenty Beauty, calls the lipstick a “go-to when I want to slip on something that’s comfortable and looks good.”

Fenty’s release prompted a discussion of diversity and inclusivity in the makeup industry. The brand continued its mission of inclusivity with the Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Concealer offering 40 shades and the Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer with colors for all skin tones.

As Fenty Beauty continues improving diversity and inclusivity in the beauty industry, we look forward to its upcoming releases. You can find the Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick on the Fenty Beauty, Sephora, Boots UK, or Harvey Nichols websites starting June 20. Each lipstick retails for $22 each.

Is Jeffree Star's New "Cremated" Collection Worth It?

Jeffree Star has recently released his new makeup collection called “Cremated.”

Screen Shot 2020-05-26 at 10.11.28 PM - Anna Levitus.png

Jeffree Star has recently released his new makeup collection called “Cremated.” It consists of a palette with 24 new eyeshadow shades ranging from black and white to grey and brown. Some of the names of the colors are “Angel of Death,” “Death Certificate,” and “R.I.P.” This Palette allows for beauty lovers to create the perfect smokey eye. It retails for about $58 on his website. Alongside the Palette, he released new lip glosses, makeup bags, metal straws and a liquid lipstick. The collection sold out in the matter of minutes and I could understand why.

There has been a lot of talk about his new collection as it has caused controversies. People have mixed feelings about it as they felt it was insensitive or tone-deaf to name the collection “Cremated” during a pandemic. However, Star has spoken out about these comments saying that he has been working on this Palette before the COVID-19 outbreak. Producing makeup takes months to create. It’s not a quick and easy process. In a youtube video, Star said, “For me, this is art and I never come from a negative place, you guys.” Star has also said that if he kept pushing off the release the makeup would have expired.

Screen Shot 2020-05-26 at 10.11.39 PM - Anna Levitus.png

Many beauty influencers went on to test the Palette and lip glosses for themselves. One YouTuber who reviewed it was NikkieTutorials, with over 4 million views on it. She made sure to give her honest opinion about how she felt about the collection despite the controversy. She agreed with the people saying the timing is a little off. However, she thinks this would have hurt people regardless of timing. Nikkie went on to say that “if you focus directly on the quality, it is golden.” I am not surprised because Jeffree Star is known for releasing eyeshadows with incredible pigment formulas.

It’s really up to you what you want to spend your money on. If you can get over the theme of it and focus solely on the collection, you won’t be disappointed. It is perfect for anyone who loves to play with grey tones. The collection is said to be back in stock, mid-June.

Example Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty line. Rhianna is a big named celebrity yet many wouldn’t be so likely to just go and buy her product. So her public relations team will send out boxes of the products to select beauty influencers to get them to do a review on the products. The consumer would then tune into their favorite influencers and would get to have an idea of what it would look like on someone that looks like them. See influencers became a big part of the marketing system because of the allure of relatability. When it comes to the use of social media, B2B businesses mainly use Facebook by 89%, Twitter by 75% and LinkedIn by 81% and Instagram is only used at only 33%. When you see someone like you trying something and liking it you are most likely going to want to buy the product as well. Many influencers also decided to purchase the products themselves so that they can keep that trust between them and their audience.
