Thanks Girl! Kelly Rowland Shares Her Daily Skincare Routine

Kelly Rowland has always had a skin tone to die for! From her DC (Destiny’s Child) days to the present she is still killing it. Not a single wrinkle or blemish as far as the eye can see. Black may not crack, but the fact remains that a great skincare routine helps too. Recently, the fab singer and fashionista shared her daily beauty regimen.

Kelly Rowland Shares Her Daily Skincare Routine

Four products make up Kelly Rowland’s daily morning ritual. They are Clarisonic, Control Corrective Oil Free Sunscreen, Is Clinical Cleansing Complex and Katalaya Skin Care Gentle Cleanser. This just goes to show that a few products as well as minutes can give you the skin you really crave.

Upon this big beauty reveal a few celebrity dolls weighed in on Kelly’s skincare routine. Tennis player, Serena Williams, mentioned, “Mine consists of hot water and a towel.” A little humor that definitely a lot of us can relate to!

Nevertheless, Rowland’s products are at the top of our skincare routine list. Clarisonic is great for deeper cleansing and we also love the fact that they have developed brush heads that serve various purposes. You can tell the difference by looking at the brush heads hues. For instance, blue is for deep pore, green works for acne cleanse and pink is specifically for radiance.

However, if you are in the market for an awesome cleanser consider Is Clinical Cleansing Complex. This is product that is formulated with a powerful antioxidant blend that includes Vitamins A, C and E. Also, is great for congested or acne prone skin as well as those who require a more “gentle” formula. Furthermore, because it is so gentle it can be used daily. Score!

Lastly, dolls do not sleep on wearing sunscreen. Melanin is not a superhero barrier against  sun damage. You may not burn as easy as lighter skin tones but you still need to protect your body’s largest organ, the skin. Do this by using Kelly’s pick, Control Corrective Oil Free Sunscreen. It’s perfect rain or shine and since it is oil free it will protect you with a SPF of 30 without clogging pores.

Lisa Frank Makeup Line…the 90s Keep Coming Back

O-M-G dolls! We totally feel transported back to simpler times of trapper keepers, Moesha, Sister, Sister and Boy Meets World. 90’s kids lived vibrant lives and enjoyed some of the coolest toys and products. One of them hands down without any contest was Lisa Frank.

Lisa Frank Makeup Line…the 90s Keep Coming Back

Actually, in reality Lisa Frank was responsible for a whole slew of awesome products. Lisa gave us folders, tee shirts, wall paper, leggings and stickers galore. Moreover, there were also pens, pencils, backpacks, tank tops, sweatshirts and even hats.

She was literally your one stop shop for back-to-school goodies. At summer’s end when it came time to buy school supplies Lisa Frank was definitely one of the things you were tossing into the basket. Hopefully, without mom noticing how much you were running up the school supplies tab (haha).

Nevertheless, what was the appeal? Why did so many young girl’s flock to Tar-Jay (Target if you’re bougie) every year to get their little hands on some merchandise? Simply put Lisa Frank is one of a kind.

When you get a glimpse of a LF product you instantly know its a Lisa Frank creation. The cutesy use of animals both real and fairytale, plus don’t even get us started on the colors! Just an explosion of epic-ness making contact with your line of vision.

Every piece and product has also always been so well developed with the signature boisterous use of hues and shades. In turn, making everything so extremely fun as well as entertaining to look at. You could spend as much time trying to find Waldo in a sea of people as you would trying to take in one illustration created for a Lisa Frank folder. Her products are seriously that dimensional.

Furthermore, thanks to Lisa Frank, a girl’s world truly could be chalk full of unicorns and rainbows. She made it cool to enjoy being bold and girly simultaneously. Most importantly, Frank was one of the first brands to really cater to young girls and make it a real lifestyle.

Lisa Frank Makeup Line- The Time is Oh So Right

With all that being said it seems so crazy that it has taken this long for things to get this point. A marriage between makeup and Lisa Frank feels as though it should of occurred almost two decades ago, but times were different back then. How so?

In the 90’s kids were still… well kids (LOL). There was no such thing as Youtube tutorials, contouring or social media pics showing how to achieve a “beat face.” Little girls played in mommy’s makeup smearing lipstick across their tiny faces. However, it was just that, playing.

Back then there was no real connection between the beauty industry and young girls as well as pre-teens. The only real makeup little girls were rocking back then was Barbie peel off nail polish, clear roll-on lip gloss and flavored Lip Smackers lip balm. If you care to know we were addicts over the soda pop ones. Specifically, Dr. Pepper.

However, we digress. If you really want to see why a LF cosmetics line may have not worked too well in the 80’s and 90’s just look over a little visual evidence. Seriously, compare pics of young girls now with young chicks from the 90s and the pics are drastically different.

Nevertheless, all of this just illustrates just how times have changed. Young women have more of an interest in makeup now. Everyone wants to look flawless and post about it online. Blame it on social, TV or even the movies. It doesn’t really matter, the fact is just as many 12 year olds know about Urban Decay as a 25 year old.

Therefore, this creates the perfect atmosphere for more brands to not only widen their consumer base, but get on the ground floor to scoop of customers they will have for decades to come. To fill and reach this new market they are promoting younger brand ambassadors and even pushing aside typical models for more “real” relatable girls. Nevertheless, that is the beauty of Lisa Frank, she doesn’t have to create youthful appeal, her products already possess it.

Lisa Frank Makeup Line

Alright, by now we’re sure you are wondering what you can expect from the upcoming Lisa Frank Makeup Line. Frank has collaborated with New Jersey based company Glamour Dolls in order to create fresh, fun products. If you are afraid of the Lisa Frank classic style being comprised don’t be. Jessica Romano, the co-founder of Glamour Dolls promises, “Our brand is bold and colorful and fun and it just aligns perfectly with her image and her brand.”

Whew! Well that is certainly beauty music to our ears. Furthermore, if you look up Glamour Dolls you will find a slew of festive tinted products accompanied by awesome spunky names. Definitely Lisa Frank-esqe. Also, another thing we love about GD is that they create cruelty-free products. Therefore, you will be able to indulge freely without feeling like you are doing damage to the animal kingdom.

So then, what’s on tap first for the Lisa Frank cosmetics line? So far on the Glamour Dolls website you will find an angled blush brush. Frank personally designed the artwork and you will instantly notice the familiar unicorn print on the brush’s handle. Plus, there’s more products on the way!

Already set to be apart of the lineup is a: highlighter powder, liquid eyeliner, makeup bag and mousse lip color. Moreover, one product we are salivating to see is the Unicorn Lippie. Like what will that look like and what will be it’s shade? Only time shall tell and we can’t wait!

Glamour Dolls promises that the collection will be perfect for young girls as well as adults who adore the brand and of course…color! If you would love for things to progress quicker with the Lisa Frank line, remember money talks. Head on over to Kickstarter to donate to the line. Already $100,000 has been collected so things are definitely plowing on ahead.

Applying Mascara: Pumping Mascara Out of Bottle

Beauty Tip-To pump or not to pump that is the real question! Applying mascara can give your eyes a major pop, but there’s something that many girls do that can turn into a real ugly problem! No matter what ladies NEVER PUMP your mascara. Instead scroll on to learn a really easy tip for rectifying this issue. Nevertheless, why do we do it in the first place? What is the deal with pumping mascara out of a bottle anyway?

Applying Mascara: Pumping Mascara Out of Bottle

Well to make things simple, most women engage in some pumping action in order to place more product onto the mascara product’s wand. Usually this becomes necessary when a mascara is a little older and not so much formula seems to make its way out anymore. Girls think by vigorously pumping they will save time and get more formula out the bottle.

Nonetheless, whether your mascara is old or not you just should not pump at all when applying mascara. Pumping a wand in and out actually works against your desired result for two reasons. For one, the air that gets trapped inside the bottle dries out the liquid inside. Also, you could force in bacteria as well as cause your mascara to clump and flake. Can you say yuck?

Moreover, in the long run this can result in spending more money from having to buy mascara much sooner than otherwise expected. Therefore, to avoid this what should be done? Is there any makeup trick that can be utilized to get more product out without drying out what’s inside?

To get more quantity (mascara formula) onto the mascara brush simply twirl the brush. Yes dolls just twirl those wands inside the bottle like you are Gone with the Wind fabulous! However, to avoid forcing unwanted air into the bottle, simply give the wand a nice and easy 90 degrees twirl before pulling it out.

As you can see applying mascara doesn’t have to eventually cause a potential beauty disaster. Just do the twist with your wand. Twirling will lessen the amount of trapped air so that you can create a nice separated, voluminous look.

How to Get Rid of Zits in No Time Flat

Pop that thang girl! Okay, actually in this instance that is very bad advice. When it comes to pimples save all the popping action for the dance floor with your squad. In this post we are going to teach you how to get rid of zits fast in two different ways. Nevertheless, both methods or closely related so you will get a lot of bang for your buck without wasting any time.

How to Get Rid of Zits in No Time Flat

Would you love to get rid of zits while masking them from the world at the same time? Well, dolls you can. In order to accomplish this you need a couple of things. Concealer and a concealer brush.

Now we know you may be thinking, “Why use a brush, my fingers work just fine?” Yes, your fingers are probably very nifty at creating some bomb beat face results. However, concealer brushes work better because their tapered bristles are able to get into every crevice of a blemish. Your bigger fingers cannot not accomplish that.

Furthermore, when getting rid of acne aim for a concealer that contains salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is a zit zapping powerhouse! A concealer of this nature will allow you to cover the little bugger up while also simultaneously working to get rid of it.

Many choose to use two products instead of using just a spot concealer product. However, utilizing cover-up and zip cream will not adhere to the skin very well. Therefore, it is best to use a concealer that does it all in one formula. Once you apply a concealer containing salicylic acid with a concealer brush just set everything with a powder that matches your skin tone.

Application Tip: Use short, quick strokes/motions when covering up zits for a more flawless, natural looking finish.

Get Healthy Skin By Eliminating These Foods

Beauty Quickie: Want skin that looks as luminous as the models in skincare ads? Desiring to achieve gorgeous skin sans cosmetics so that one day you can say, “I woke up like this?” Well, then ladies you need to pull out the axe and rid yourself of the enemy! Here’s the honest truth on how to get healthy skin by eliminating certain foods.

Get Healthy Skin By Eliminating These Foods

Oh gawd, not the lattes! We need those to live! Sorry dolls caffeine is on the list of things you must remove from your diet in order to change the condition of your skin. If you have recently noticed that your skin isn’t as supple, vibrant or smooth as you would like then a change in foods consumed could do you good.

Nevertheless, keep in mind that this is not some overnight quick fix. You have to give the body a moment to showcase the benefits. Therefore, when committing to a change in diet for healthy skin give it at least a month to work. Trust, you will love the results!

Besides a cup of Joe, what other foods should be avoided like the plague? Cut out peanuts, dairy, soy, seaweed and sugary products. Replace these with dark leafy greens, green tea (rich in antioxidants) and salmon. If life seems bleak without milk aim for almond milk instead of cow milk. Moreover, drink PLENTY of water. Say bye bye to sodas and always reach for a glass of H2O. Be consistent and dedicated to these changes and very soon you will experience clearer, beautiful skin.
