Alcohol in Skincare -What Types are Good and Bad for You

ArianneUpdated on January 16, 2019January 16, 2019

Beauty Quickie: When it comes to alcohol in skincare products, do you know which ones are good or bad for your skin? Yes, not all alcohols are created equal or necessarily bad; even though, oftentimes alcohol becomes like a dirty word when it comes to skincare products.

Well, today we are going to change all of that for you. We are going to give you a comprehensive list of good as well as bad alcohols normally found in skincare items. Additionally, we will briefly you tell you exactly what they are capable of doing to or for your skin.

Alcohol in Skincare -What Types are Good and Bad for You

Do you want the good news or bad news first? Well, let’s get the bad out the way. Bad alcohols unfortunately zap and evaporate moisture from the skin and can irritate it. Yikes. Here is a list of baddies to avoid:

Alcohol
Alcohol Denat
Ethanol
Ethanol Alcohol
Denature Alcohol
Methanol
Benzyl Alcohol
Isopropyl Alcohol
SD Alcohol
SD Alcohol 40

Now for the good. The good alcohols you find in products can bring some benefit to your skin. They are actually “fatty alcohols” that work as emollients that are naturally hydrating and moisturizing. So then, if you could use a little help in the hydration department you will want to look for a product that includes at least one of the following:

Glycol
C12-16
Cetyl Alcohol
Stearyl Alcohol
Lauryl Alcohol
Cetearyl Alcohol
Myristyl Alcohol
Butylene Glycol
Propanediol

There you have it. The good and the bad. As one can see, it is always very important to know what is in your skincare products. Always check the ingredients list on the back to ensure your skin is being treated properly.

Facial Brush Benefits -Over 7 Reasons Why to Give it a Try

Arianne January 8, 2019January 8, 2019

Beauty Quickie: Ladies, hear us out for a second… Set aside your usual scrubs and pick up a facial brush. Why? Well, these babies have been shown to improve skin while eliminating several other common skincare problems all at the same time. Interested? Great, read on to learn over 7 facial brush benefits of this awesome beauty tool!

Facial Brush Benefits -Over 7 Reasons Why to Give it a Try

Our friends over at Yelle Skincare, the skincare brand by media mogul Yandy Smith, were kind enough to explain all the numerous facial brush benefits that there are to be had. In regards to the regular use of facial brushes Yelle Skincare reveals,

“A facial brush can be used on both your face and neck, and removes that top layer of dead skin to improve skin tone. This, along with it’s effects to stimulate circulation, will create firmer, more lasting skin. The result? Reduced wrinkles, soft, healthier skin and a massaging routine that makes for a relaxing end of your day.

Facial brushes are better than anti-aging creams. It works in the same fashion; peeling off dead skin to reveal the youthful glow beneath. But anti aging creams contain unnatural acids, which is why a facial brush is safer. So [then] in a nutshell, facial brushes produce fresh, young skin in the most affordable and natural way possible.”

What can you cop from them right now? Well, Benefit is releasing a Roller Eye Bright Pencil (more on that in our upcoming post later today) as well as the highly anticipated Roller Liner.

Benefit is well-known for their great working beauty items so it comes as no surprise that Roller Liner is already testing high. So high the brand decided to post the results right smack on the packaging. Thus, revealing that over 90% experienced Roller Liner creating a smooth continuous line with ease and having it staying put without budging in the process. Score.

Arianne January 2, 2019January 2, 2019

SHOTS Fired! Looks like we got us a good ol’ makeup battle going on in the beauty realm! With the release of Morphe cosmetics new 60 shade deep foundation, many were wondering what Fenty Beauty was up to in that very department. Well, don’t think for one second the queen is not always working on that new new. Just today Rih revealed that 2019 will see the fulfillment of Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Foundation 50 shades lineup. Yup, the Fenty’s foundation range is growing and we are here for it all!

Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Foundation 50 Shades -10 NEW Tones

So what’s new? Well, if you recall, Fenty Beauty started it all when it released 40 shades of foundation that fit a large range of skin tones. An area in beauty that often did not receive much attention. However, that was just the start for Rihanna. The singer has been consistently adding more colors to all of her various product creations; from Gloss Bombs to Mattemoiselle lippies.

Now Rih’s already extensive and successful 40 tone foundation is gaining 10 new hues in the sisterhood. In regards of this new release the brand says,

“But are y’all really ready?!? We are adding 10 more Pro Filt’r Foundation shades, for a total of 50, to the collection. These shades were specifically created by Rihanna to match skin tones y’all didn’t know we could.

Same soft-matte, longwearing, light as air; and photo-shoot ready formula that y’all know and love. With more shades to match more skin tones! Get it on January 11 at fentybeauty.com, Sephora, Harvey Nichols and Sephora in JCP!”

Morphe Fluidity Foundations -60 Shades of Foundation!

ArianneUpdated on January 2, 2019January 2, 2019

Rihanna… girl, look what you have started! Since the genesis of Fenty Beauty, several cosmetics companies have been hard at work in the lab developing foundations that more suitably match their consumer base. The first exciting foundation release of 2019; hands down is the Morphe Fluidity Foundation. A beauty product that boasts a jaw-dropping 60 different shades!

Morphe Fluidity Foundations -60 Shades of Foundation

No that is no typo. 60. 60 shades of foundation is on the table for us over at Morphe. The brand has been a tad bit cryptic, not really giving much away about all of this. Regarding their upcoming release Morphe simply reveals,

“Leave no tone unturned. Introducing Fluidity. 60 tone-empowering shades, for every babe. Launching 1.17.19.”

As one can see, Morphe isn’t trying to say much at all yet. Maybe they don’t want to oversell it; because of the wild success Fenty Beauty is still having. However, this foundation release is nothing to just brush off.

It is still another drop in the bucket that helps to improve the state of the beauty industry. For years, many skin tones have been ignored and now brands are finally waking up to the fact that light, medium and dark just won’t cut it.

One thing that we love so far about this product is that… well, actually there’s quite a bit to love. Besides the awesome range in colors, Fluidity is also:

Transfer Resistant
Longwear
Parabens Free
Water Resistant
Oil Free
Sweat Proof
Fragrance Free

Ugh… we stan Morphe, take our money already! Therefore, how much will Fluidity cost you? Get this… it’s UNDER $20! Yes, Morphe Fluidity Foundation will retail for just $18. 2019 is looking real real good!

Want a preview of the Fluidity’s tones? Watch the video below:

PSSST… there’s more… Morphe is also releasing concealer and powder shades! More on that later today so check back!
