Fear not; for today, we’re here to share some glam, functional, and fun gift ideas on Daytime Chicago for those hard-to-shop-for on your list!

    Fragrance is still the #1 selling beauty gift in department stores, but they are getting so expensive. 
    This set is such a deal at $50; it smells great and is super versatile. I know because my sister wears it, and I have watched people stop her and ask her what perfume she is wearing. It’s just one of those universally liked scents at an affordable price for the holidays.

    I’m not sure if this scent applies to your family, but last year, we featured this lotion, and I cannot even tell you how many people DM’d me with a generational story about how this brought them back. It has this cherry almond scent that definitely brings people back. 

    Jergens Original Scent Moisturizer with Cherry Almond Essence
    PRICE: $8.79

  • Clean Beauty Favorites on New Day Northwest

    Clean Beauty Favorites on New Day Northwest

    A shift towards cleaner and greener products is taking center stage in the evolving beauty world. From the meticulous crafting of formulations to the sustainable innovation in packaging, every aspect is now under scrutiny and conscious consideration. Today, we’re back in Seattle on New Day Northwest to share the latest finds and show what makes them stand out as exceptional gems in the clean beauty mega sphere.

    Garnier has stood out for over a decade as a maverick in cleaning up all aspects of their products. These shampoo bars are brilliant. They create shine and are easy to use and rinse. Plus, they are clean and green from formulation to packaging and are even 97% Biodegradable.

    Another brand you’ll want to take to the shower is EC30.

    SHOP: @EC30Clean.com

    If you haven’t heard of this next product, I’ll catch you up. Editors tout this cream by Comfort Zone as being better than LeMer and as clean as a product can be.

    Comfort Zone HYDRAMEMORY RICH SORBET CREAM

    Recently, in my editor community, there’s been a lot of pushback on which lash serums actually work and which are meh. As someone who religiously applies one at night, I was surprised to find out that many of the products on the market are merely an oil derivative, and some of the ingredients are not even suitable for the eyes. I can attest, and many a TikToker that Nulastin works and the formula is clean. I haven’t tried the brow serum out yet, but it’s also a fan favorite. 

    NULASTIN® LASH and BROW Dual System with Elastaplex®
    PRICE: $139
    SHOP: @nulastin.com

In a 12-week clinical evaluation, participants experienced up to 60% longer-looking eyelashes and up to 120% fuller-looking eyebrows.

    I was sent Naked Sundays to review while I was in Florida. So, let’s say I really got to test out the SPF aspects of the brand, but I also loved the makeup. Because the product is so clean, I didn’t hesitate to use the blush sticks on my young nieces. I think we will be seeing a lot more from this brand.  

    Naked Sundays SPF50 Sheer Glow Balm Sticks Trio
    PRICE: $55
    SHOP: @NakedSundays.com

  • TikTok Trends on Arizona Midday

    TikTok Trends on Arizona Midday

    In a world of social media hacks and mess-ups, it’s getting challenging to know what really works. Today on Arizona Midday, we try out some of the summer trends and products and share what we LOVE and what is meh…

    SKIN FLOODING:
    Skin Flooding is a TikTok darling with more videos than we can even watch. The “flood” starts with a clean, damp face. After that, apply a healthy amount of serum that’s rich in antioxidants. Finally, you layer an emollient cream to seal it all in. Derms have been touting the benefits for years, and now TikTok is making skin flooding a star. 

    Delavie Sciences’ Aeonia Age Defying Serum
    PRICE: $125
    SHOP: @delaviesciences.com
    The novel ingredient, Bacillus Lysate, has significant UV-shielding properties in greater ranges than most UV filters and as the first cosmetic product certified by the Space Foundation, Bacillus Lysate is a safer, natural alternative to the harmful chemicals used in most sunscreens. Delavie Sciences’ Aeonia Age Defying Serum utilizes their patented ingredient, Bacillus Lysate, the first biological cosmetic that is Space Certified Technology™ by the Space Foundation™. Bacillus Lysate has been proven to significantly reduce UVA-induced skin damage as well as increase hyaluronic acid production in cells, and anti-aging genes. The Age Defying serum is clinically proven to decrease fine lines and wrinkles. Delavie was co-founded by Dr. David Sinclair, a distinguished Harvard geneticist with expertise in longevity.

    SKIN CYCLING:
    This trend is another one we can’t possibly keep up with; however, it’s a pretty easy process, like skin flooding. You basically start on day one with an exfoliant or fruit acid to break down the top layers of skin. On day 2, you apply retinol which typically causes irritation. Then on days 4 and 5, you simply apply a basic cream without any active ingredients to rest your skin. 

    NUPEEL NATURAL ENZYME PEEL
    PRICE: $40.00
    SHOP: @amazon
    Gently removes dead skin cells to promote glowing, radiant skin appearance.
