    Best of Beauty on Daytime Chicago

    This morning, we’ve got the crème de la crème of beauty, from satiny lips that speak volumes to locks that turn heads. Today, we head back to Daytime Chicago to ShareTheGlam with some best-sellers from 2023 and the hottest, trendsetting products for 2024. 

    These lip colors won Allure’s Best of Beauty in 2023, and for a good reason: the shades are built to last, and so are the plumping and conditioning benefits.

    Sunrider Kandesn Lip Colors
    PRICE: $29.8
    SHOP: @sunrider.com
    Rich, creamy, and conditioning, the hydrating Kandesn® Lip Colors from Sunrider glide on seamlessly and feature high-impact hues that keep your lips soft, supple, and nourished. The clean, natural formula is enriched with sodium hyaluronate to deliver next-level volume for a plumper, fuller look, while antioxidant-rich botanical oils diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and provide intensive moisture, a comfortable feel, and protection from the elements. Long-lasting, crave-able colors leave your lips with an irresistible velvety finish. This 2023 Allure Best of Beauty winning collection comes in 9 satin-finish colors that let you glam up with runway-ready colors and go effortlessly from everyday classy to evening sassy.

    When it comes to hair, Mindy Mcknight knows a thing or two. The influencer created Hairitage, and it’s amazing. The Length Check! line is a sell-out, and you can’t go wrong at this price. 

    Hairitage Length Check! Shampoo & Conditioner Set
    PRICE: $15.94
    SHOP: @walmart
    Length Check! Shampoo and Conditioner cleanse and condition hair while helping hair feel stronger and reducing the appearance of breakage for longer, thicker hair. The formulation includes Biotin, an essential nutrient that helps stimulate keratin production, enhance shine, and promote healthy hair, and Jamaican Black Caster Oil, which is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antibacterial to help thicken hair and strengthen roots. Formulated for all hair types (1A – 4C) and made without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, or silicones.

    We’ve spoken about it before, and 2023 was the year when many of us ditched the lash extensions and embraced the enhancing serums. A lot of brands have tried to emulate it, but still, the GRANDE Dam of Serums is GrandeLASH. Sales and testimonials keep them on the top. 

    GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum
    PRICE: $68.00
    SHOP: @Sephora
    GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum is a clinically studied, safe, and innovative cosmetic solution to enhance the look of lashes. GrandeLASH-MD was developed over 15 years ago by Alicia Grande, and with daily use, lashes look longer and more voluminous in as little as 4-6 weeks, with full results in 3 months. Grande Cosmetics, the #1 Lash & Brow Serum Brand in America*, recently conducted another clinical study with over 115 participants that uncovered overwhelmingly positive results. GrandeLASH-MD was found NOT to cause periorbital fat loss or iris color change.

    2024 is here, and with the start of every year, the big focus is Self-Care. This body butter falls right in line, and hey, it’s winter, so we all need some hydration help. Plus, the scent is designed (and scientifically proven) to boost your mood! 

    DELÍCIA DRENCH BODY BUTTER by Sol De Janeiro
    PRICE: $48.00
    SHOP: @soldejaneiro.com 
    Whipped, ultra-rich body butter for instant moisture and soft, touchable skin after one use*. Bacuri butter replenishes the skin’s barrier, Innovative Brazilian Soothing Complex calms stressed skin, and Prebiotic hibiscus nourishes the microbiome for velvety, smooth, healthy-looking skin. The new Cheirosa 59 scent is scientifically shown to instantly boost your mood. In clinical studies, 98% said Delicia Drench Body Butter provided instant moisturization.

    And have you met Wellbel? This supplement line was created when a Harvard doctor’s sister approached him with hair loss woes. As soon as it became available, it’s been trending, especially the women+ formulation that is designed for ladies experiencing hormonal changes. Um, hello, sign me up! 

    WellBel 
    PRICE: $68-70/single jar
    SHOP:@wellbel

  • Fall Must Haves on Daytime Chicago

    Fall Must Haves on Daytime Chicago

    When fall comes around, the leaves aren’t the only things that change. We reach for closed-toe shoes, maybe a heavier face cream, and sometimes even switch up our purses. Today, on Daytime Chicago, we show some new trends and tips for making the fall transition even more fun and fabulous.

    Let’s admit it lately, the weather has been all over the place.
    Whether you grease up at the first shift in temps or you start to look cracky and dry, I’m still going to sing the praises of a good clean witch hazel to get your skin balanced and ready for the cold that is inevitably coming. These pads make good skin easy and they are biodegradable.

    Humphreys Clarifying Cleansing Pads
    PRICE: $8.98
    SHOP: @walmart
    • Fragrance-free, clarifying cleansing pads with Wild Harvested Witch Hazel remove excess oil and balances skin

    • Convenient and ready-to-use pads- gentle and non-drying for even sensitive skin
    • Dermatologist tested- no alcohol, dyes, sulfates, or gluten- Vegan and cruelty-free

    Fall and Winter mark the time of year when we tend to sweat a bit less, and maybe even not wash our hair as often. Whatever your routine, you must get your hair ready for the cold snap of winter that is coming soon. Find yourself a good hair and scalp mask now, before the damage is done.
    One of my favorite brands is Davines. They just have something for EVERYONE and their products are clean and affordable.

    Press ons are the new nail must-have! But let’s be honest, most come with glue that is either way too strong or doesn’t hold up an hour. Plus the styles are so limited. Not so with Olive & June. Love these new styles for V Day too!
