Arianne Suggs July 18, 2019July 18, 2019

It’s Plastic Free July which means choosing to reduce plastic waste is ultimately up to you. Think it can’t be done or its not easy? Au contraire beauty lovers! There are conscious brands out there that want to do right by Mother Nature. Therefore, what better way to start than swapping your beauty products for glass ones!

Our brand of choice? MARA. This skincare label not only has completely transformed our skin for the better; BUT their use of bottle design helps to put our minds at ease in terms of making the environment a healthier place.

Why is this all important? Well, its because the numbers aren’t pretty. One statistic reveals that there will be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050. Seriously, you guys that is literally ONLY 21 years away. Therefore, the time is now to act. It’s time to start doing our parts, even in small ways to begin reducing any plastic caused damage. Even little changes can make a HUGE difference.

Nevertheless, how is MARA truly helping to make a difference in this growing issue of plastic waste? Read on to learn about MARA Beauty’s environmental friendly methods; as well as info about some of our favorite products by them!

Plastic Free July- MARA Celebrates by Choosing Glass

MARA, an algae-based line of daily and treatment face oils, is helping to reduce plastic’s harmful effects by committing to the plastic-free life by using only glass vessels for their products: Universal Face Oil and Algae Retinol Oil.

Going plastic-free is an impactful way to help protect the earth that we love. Not only will MARA make for the perfect addition to your skincare routine, but you’ll also be doing your part for the environment.

Algae Retinol Face Oil $120
A powerful blend of 1.2% clean retinol is counterbalanced with ultra-rich hemp-derived cannabis oil. While the retinol helps turnover cells and soften the signs of aging, cannabis oil eliminates the risk of dry, flaky, red skin typically caused by retinol. Instead, it hydrates and calms the skin.

Universal Face Oil $72
The key to instantly hydrated skin is MARA’s UFO! Whether used on its own or a few drops added to your favorite foundation or moisturizer, this face oil is extracted from Moringa plant, a miracle superfood with 90+ nutrients, 46 antioxidants, Vitamins A, B, C, D, E that work together to reveal a dewy, fresh complexion no matter the occasion. High in bilberry baobab plant oils that soak your complexion with skin-brightening vitamin C and resveratrol.

[Moreover] Hydration BAE does NOT contain microbeads! The blue bubbles are Hybubbles. A patented technology that encapsulates active ingredients; which absorb when massaged into the skin!

Gently apply the mask allowing the Hyaluronic Acid and Tamarind Seed Extract infused gel to absorb; and deeply hydrate the skin. Leaving the bubbles intact; leave on for up to 10 minutes. [Then] experience the patented technology of our Hybubbles.

Coloured Raine Flawless Perfecting Sponge -Affordable AND Effective!

Arianne July 5, 2019July 5, 2019

Sorry y’all but twenty dollar makeup sponges have left that chat! Spending more than ten bucks on a beauty sponge is so last year. So then, what’s the new wave? Investing in sponges that give you the same flawless makeup application WITHOUT the cost. One option you need to try ASAP is the Coloured Raine Flawless Perfecting Sponge!

Coloured Raine Flawless Perfecting Sponge -Affordable AND Effective

To brush or to sponge, that is the real question. When it comes to applying a foundation or other products many choose to utilize one of two beauty tools in order to achieve a pro level finish. A brush or a sponge.

Sponges for awhile have been reigning supreme because of their abilities to conform well to the face. Many sponge designs are now being shaped to effortlessly move makeup into hard to manuveur areas such as the corner of eyes, undereye area and sides of the nose.

Sponges are also great tools because they can evenly distribute and blend the perfect amount of cream, liquid formulas and powder into skin without any lines. However, one common complaint that has been growing among sponge users is the price.

Enter Coloured Raine’s Flawless Perfecting Sponge. It will have the same capabilities and attributes of the best-seller makeup sponges currently on the market; just for one third of the price.

Coloured Raine’s sponge will retail for only $6! Plus, it promises to be super soft, latex free as well as cruelty free. So then, just wins all around the board. Get yours when it drops exclusively online at www.colouredraine.com.

Gua Sha Benefits -What Improvements Can Honestly Be Expected

ArianneUpdated on July 2, 2019July 2, 2019

We recently had the chance to chat it up with our resident Beauty Editor, Alicia Suggs, of The L.A. Glow about Gua Sha Benefits! The hottest new facial treatment that is rumored to give an improved appearance; sculpt as well as tone the skin naturally. No harmful ingredients or surgery necessary!

So then, how does it work? Moreover, why is this beauty treatment so effective in making skin healthier? Plus, how many different benefits can one hope to gain by getting Gua Sha done on a regular basis.

Gua Sha Benefits -What Improvements Can Honestly Be Expected

1966: Thanks for taking the time to explain this to us Alicia! We know you stay busy!

Alicia: [Laughs] No problem, always here to help answer skin and beauty questions for you guys.

1966: So tell us, what is Gua Sha and why is it so great at improving the look of skin?

Alicia: Well, Gua Sha is quickly becoming one of my top additions to my facials that my clients request because it is tried and true. It has a long history in beauty, going all the way back to the ancient medical traditions of China and Southeast Asia.

During the treatment I use a little tool made from jade stone to perform intentional and repetitive movements. It’s these movements that allow me to really get in there and remove waste.

**1966 Magazine Beauty Editor and Esthetician Alicia Suggs. Owner of The L.A. Glow.**

1966: Uhm… waste?

Alicia: [Laughs] Yeah… but trust me you WANT me to remove it. You see, Gua Sha actually works along with your body’s lymphatic system. Specifically in the face, the lymphs are like the “septic system” for drainage.

The best way I can describe it to my clients is to think about using a broom to clean a house. You take that broom and sweep up, cleaning out dirt or anything else you don’t want lying around. Gua Sha movements act like a sweeper, gliding across your face to remove any congestion or waste.

That’s why skin ends up looking so great after because everything is flowing properly because there are no blocks. However, lymphatic drainage has to be carried out in the right order if you want to see the most benefits; which is why it is good to seek out a professional.

Gua Sha Benefits -What Improvements Can Honestly Be Expected (Continued)

1966: Alright, noted we should go visit a pro like you (Alicia is an Esthetician in Los Angeles, California) to get it done right. Besides healthier looking skin are there any more benefits we should know about?

Alicia: Of course! There are a ton of them. Just to name a few, in many cases Gua Sha can help improve: fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, sagging skin, puffy eyes, acne as well as troublesome pimples.

There are other benefits, but many come in wanting to help with the issues I just named; and they are VERY happy with the results. Plus, Gua Sha just feels good! It’s very relaxing. So you get to come in, de-stress and leave with glowing skin that’s vitality has been renewed.

1966: Well, that sounds like an amazing skincare treatment, especially the dark undereye circles part. A lot of us have to deal with that.

Alicia: Exactly, Gua Sha works to really reduce puffiness, darkness and soften deep set eyes naturally. It’s just a great procedure to help bring the life back into your face and skin.

1966: Okay we’re sold! [laughter] Thanks again for the chat Alicia, until next time.

Alicia: It’s a date.
