  • Innovative Beauty on Daytime Chicago

    Innovative Beauty on Daytime Chicago

    Do you rainbow mask? STG stopped by the Daytime Show in Chicago for another Innovative Beauty segment. Nothing is more fun than talking shop with the GLAM duo, Tonya and Amy. We of course gushed about our favorite lash, multi-tasking hair spritz, concealer and flash products for better skin- like this FAB rainbow sheet mask. All listed in the order of appearance below.

    As a makeup artist I can pop a pair of lashes on someone in seconds but when it comes to applying to myself…couldn’t do it. Once magnetic lashes hit the market, I tried them out and wasn’t impressed. They never seemed to attach at the base of the lash and were just too heavy for my eyes. Eylure sent me their PROMAGNETIC lashes to try out and wow… they are amazing. Instead of sticking two lashes together or dealing with glue, you just use the liner included and lashes magnetize right into place. Mind-blowing! 

    Eylure PROMAGNETIC 10 Magnet & Felt Tip Eyeliner Kit 
    PRICE: $16.99
    SHOP: @Target
    Eylure is revolutionizing false eyelashes with our latest innovation. The ProMagnetic felt tip eyeliner allows you to adhere to your magnetic lashes without any difficulties (or need for glue). This technology is simple; apply the eyeliner to your eye as you would a normal felt tip eyeliner and once its dry apply your magnetic lash onto the liner and you’re done! This long-lasting, smudge-proof formula is easy to use and is safe for daily wear. This kit includes the revolutionary ProMagnetic felt tip eyeliner and a pair of Marquise Faux mink lashes. These lashes contain 10 Magnets for maximum hold. Lightweight and easy to remove, these lashes will last up to 15 wears!

    Wait, what? A tinted eye cream that actually deflates, covers, and works on ridding dark circles for good? What????

  • Black-Owned Beauty on Daytime Chicago

    Black-Owned Beauty on Daytime Chicago

    We’ve got all the black beauty stars you need to check out below. These brands were created by black entrepreneurs who had a beauty woe that needed a fix. All of these creators built their brands from the bottom up and have so much more growth to bring us.

    Personally, I’m obsessed with all things Jennifer Hicks. You can tell she puts so much love into whipping up every one of her homemade formulas. The best part is to read the reviews on the site. She has saved and helped so many with their skin woes.

    Chicago native Jennifer Hicks founded this coveted beauty brand in 2015 after finding nothing worked on her eczema. With a background as a paralegal, she was prone to deep research and found that most of the products out there had known irritants. So, the Olije Eczema Butter was invented, and many more hand made and packaged healers. All products are natural, organic, and don’t have any of the known nasties including alcohol and fragrance. Since Olije’s beginning in 2015, Jeniffer has produced more skus that deliver from head to toe all out of her Chicago home.

    Another skin savior I wanted to feature is Sylvia Brownlee. She has taken her holistic approach to acne as an aesthetician and brought it to the masses with Brownlee & Co. The brand has an Acne Treatment Kit that targets and heals naturally. Check out the amazing before and after images on the brand’s site.

  • Celebrate Black-Owned Beauty on Suncoast View

    Celebrate Black-Owned Beauty on Suncoast View

    February is Black History Month and a fabulous time to celebrate some of my favorite black-owned beauty brands. Today on Suncoast View I shared three brands that are driven by science, nature, and results and fastly becoming some of the most sought after hair and skincare.

    Mielle Organics is a black-owned beauty brand started by registered nurse Monique Rodriguez. Her background in science and focus on health from the inside out inspired Monique to share her regimen of healthy, tailbone-length hair with the masses. Mother, Entrepreneur, Black, and a Beauty Icon.
    Mielle Organics, the fastest-growing black-owned, and women-led global beauty brand announced the release of its new Sea Moss Collection this holiday season. The beauty brand is celebrating the new year with an initial in-store release of the new collection in select Target locations across the U.S. The new product line will also be available in select CVS locations in late January and additional retailers in 2022. The Sea Moss Collection will include five new products promoting the benefits of sea moss and anti-shedding inspired by naturalistas who are often affected by shedding due to stress, illness, aging, postpartum hair loss, and more. The soft launch of the new collection sold out online in less than 72 hours.

  • Top 3 Products for Hair, Face and Body of 2021

    Top 3 Products for Hair, Face and Body of 2021

    We visited the set of Suncoast View today to share my top 3 product picks for 2021. If your looking for healthy skin and hair, we’ve got you covered from head to toe…literally.

    Still! Always my go to skincare year round. You can’t beat Lubriderm and now free of parabens and fragrance and infused with Omega-3.

    Lubriderm Advanced Therapy Moisturizing Cream
    PRICE: $8.97
    SHOP: @walmart, Target, Amazon
    In 2021, Lubriderm introduced its Advanced Therapy Moisturizing Cream which is fragrance and paraben free. The moisturizing cream helps transform extra-dry skin into healthy-looking, more resilient skin in just one week with twice daily usage. The Advanced Therapy Moisturizing Cream offers a thicker hydration formula and is enriched with Vitamin E, Pro-Vitamin B5, and is infused with Omega-3 for additional moisturizing benefits.

    Another product that I am obsessed with, and certainly hooked every friend and client on is Theraderm’s NuPeel. It’s like magic for getting off that crepe-y, dead layer of skin that sits on top. I use it on my face, neck, knees, hands. EVERYWHERE that looks old. 

    Theraderm NuPeel Natural Enzyme Peel
    PRICE: $30
    SHOP: @theraderm.net, Amazon
    This micronutrient-rich enzyme exfoliating gel gently removes dead skin cells to promote glowing, radiant skin appearance. Utilizing papaya/papain enzymes to naturally exfoliate, and packed with a number of botanical extracts like aloe, pineapple, grape seed, green tea leaf and cucumber, NuPeel is like an at-home, natural facial peel in a bottle.

    And finally, hair…I’m a true believer that a healthy scalp leads to healthy strands. This scalp and hair serum kind of does everything in tandem. It’s really great on super dry ends and works in just a few days. 

    Kerastase Initialiste Scalp & Hair Serum
    PRICE: $53.00
