  • Winter Healing Products on WGN Daytime

    Winter Healing Products on WGN Daytime

    This time of year, we take a long, hard look at what the winter has done to our skin and mood. Today on Daytime Chicago, I’m back to showcase some of my favorite products for healing and hydrating we’ve been reviewing here at ShareTheGlam. 

    This first product has an eczema cream that is big with my mommy community. However, the wound gel is my go-to for any nicks or scrapes you get in colder months to prevent scarring. It’s fantastic any time of year, but winter boo-boos can really scar once the skin gets dried out.

    Lavior Hydrogel Wound Dressing
    PRICE: $21.95
    SHOP: @walmart
    -Faster Healing- This clinically proven innovation tackles a wide range of concerns, from minor cuts to wounds & burns, with quick, visible results.
    -Instant Relief: Lavior Wound Gel soothes the sting of minor burns and scrapes instantly with its natural formula. Lavior’s blend of botanical ingredients forms a protective barrier, preventing infection and promoting healthy healing.
    -Powerful Protection: Lavior’s unique properties help prevent infection and promote healthy tissue formation, creating a safe environment for healing. Lavior offers powerful protection for all types of wounds, cuts, burns, scrapes. 

    Infrared Light is not only a mood healer; it detoxifies and balances skin to the core. We are obsessed with this sauna blanket! OBSESSED! 

    HigherDOSE Infrared Sauna Blanket
    PRICE: $699
    SHOP: @higherdose.com
    PROMO CODE: WGN15 for 15% OFF
    Lauren Berlingeri and Katie Kaps, entrepreneurs and biohackers, founded HigherDOSE in 2016. HigherDOSE launched its first at-home product in 2017: The coveted Infrared Sauna Blanket, which garnered explosive success and ignited the creation of more at-home devices. Wrap yourself in this snug blanket designed to enhance the benefits of infrared technology, promoting glowing skin, muscle recovery, improved circulation, detoxification, and calorie burning. It also provides healing and calming energy, with layers including amethyst and tourmaline for added benefits, charcoal to eliminate pollutants, and clay to emit negative ions and restore balance. Beloved by Gwyneth Paltrow, Amy Schumer, and Nikki Reed.

    We thought we’d use an oil-based soap in the winter to see if it really paid off for long-term hydration. This hybrid soap by Epicutis is like oil, which lathers and removes all your makeup without stripping your skin of natural oils. 

    Epicutis Cleansing Oil
    PRICE: $89
    SHOP: @Epicutis.com
    This oil cleanser forms micelles around the materials you wish to wash away, such as dirt, makeup, oils, etc. These micelles encapsulate them, allowing these unwanted materials to wash off with just water. The Epicutis difference: Typical cleansers create these micelles but use detergents that can break down our skin barrier and cause irritation. 4 OZ + 9 Ingredients

    Is LUXE really worth it? We tested the Defenage hand and body cream, and yes, it does work fast, and it’s not greasy. Is it worth the price tag? If you want to use a cream that hydrates and also will get rid of crepey skin…and have the funds, this is your jam. 

    Defenage 10 LUXE HAND AND BODY CREAM
    PRICE: $184
    SHOP: @Defenage.com
    If you ever mused aloud, “I wish I could slather my entire body with DefenAge,” then the new 10 Luxe Hand & Body Cream is an anti-aging hand cream that answers your call. According to key opinion leaders in aesthetic medicine, our new regenerative anti-aging body lotion for crepey skin delivers much more than a product that feels soft to the touch.

  • Best of Beauty on Daytime Chicago

    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
    Wellbel is a vegan, gluten-free hair supplement for men and women, including women+ (45+) experiencing hormonal changes,  perimenopause, and menopause. Wellbel Men and Wellbel Women address hair thinning and support healthy hair growth. Wellbel is physician-formulated, drug-free, with no harmful filler ingredients. Dr. Daniel Yadegar created Wellbel for all hair textures from 1A to 4C, for adults 18 and over (for skin and nails too). Wellbel supplements are a single dose of three capsules once a day with food, either AM or PM. (Fun fact: they can be opened and added to your favorite smoothie!)

Just massage a few drops onto a well-cleansed and exfoliated face (we like to do it after dinner) and watch a gorgeous, glowy tan develop. Apply before loading on your serum and/or night cream. Also, I love this page on the brand’s website, which simplifies the brand’s safety and also terminology across the line. I’m not sure if you want to use that as a graphic.

  • Trending for ALL AGES in Seattle

    Trending for ALL AGES in Seattle

    As Gen Xers reach middle age, there’s a growing investment in creating products tailored to this solution-seeking consumer. For fall, trends are shifting towards comfort, balance, and preserving youth, which ironically is also a priority for the Gen Y and Z community. Fragrance is back, and we’re seeing major upgrades to rain boots and lipgloss. Skincare is more sensitive and smarter, and menopause has taken over supplements. We head back to Seattle and the set of New Day Northwest to share some insight on what products are trending from Gen X to Z.

    Gen X ers wore a lot of cologne and perfume back in the day; a lot of it was UNISEX. Then everything simmered out with millennials and fine fragrance. Well, I don’t know if you’ve gotten a sniff, but fragrance is back. According to the top perfume hub in Seattle, A.K.A Macys, this scent designed for men still leads sales. It’s fresh, light, and popular with all ages and genders. 

    Tommy Bahama Maritime
    PRICE: $84.00
    SHOP: @Macys
    Drawing inspiration from the pleasure of sailing, MARITIME is an ode to the dynamism and power of the sea. A fresh, invigorating fragrance for the spirited explorer, this fragrance blends aromatic botanicals with intriguing complexity for a scent that evokes warm trade winds over crystal-clear waters. Tommy Bahama Maritime is an invigorating scent that layers herbaceous notes over sandalwood, musk, moss, and ambergris. It’s an intriguing fragrance with a fresh, warm scent for the spirited explorer.

    Every decade, our skin takes on a new challenge, and I’ve never met anyone who has looked in the mirror and thought I wish I looked older after 30. Whether it’s hormonal acne or menopause, chances are you’ve used Cetaphil to aid your sensitive skin. Now, the brand has just launched its first-ever collection of anti-aging products. THEY ARE PHENOMENAL! 

    Cetaphil Healthy Renew Face Serum
    PRICE: $22.99
    SHOP: @Target
    Navigating physical signs of aging with sensitive skin can be a challenge, as common ingredients like Retinol can be too harsh for sensitive skin. This is why Cetaphil created their first anti-aging line, Healthy Renew. The entire line harnesses Retinol alternative, Purified Peptides, to deliver clinically proven results, helping to defend against visible signs of aging, while being gentle enough for sensitive skin. The Healthy Renew Face Serum absorbs quickly and visibly improves skin’s firmness, texture, and tone while boosting skin’s luminosity and hydrating for 24 hours.

    LIPGLOSS is here to stay for another season, with everyone from teens to grandmas rejoicing. Leave the lip oils to the youth (they have time to reapply all day), and if you’re 30 and up, look for a gloss with benefits. This clear gloss is soothing, lightweight, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. OH, and it has a non-sting-y Atelcollagen complex to help lips firm and plump. Yep, it’s amazing. 

    Theraderm Lip Complex
    PRICE: $31.50
    SHOP: @Amazon
    This daily lip treatment contains a peptide designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around lips, while Atelcollagen increases lip volume without unpleasant stinging. Infused with soothing avocado oil and vitamin E, this product helps hydrate and rejuvenate for smooth, luscious lips.

    Shifting gears to fashion, we all love a fabulous rain boot, but these by Merry People are all the rage right now. They’re designed for an active lifestyle and built for an eco-minded consumer who prioritizes comfort and style. I mean, that covers any age. Even my 4-year-old. 

    Merry People Rain Boots (Bobbi style featured)
    PRICE: $129.95
    SHOP: @us.merrypeople.com

    The perfect everyday rain boot. The Bobbi seamlessly blends fashion and function with natural rubber and a neoprene lining. Our best-selling boots are designed for utmost comfort. Easy to dress up or down, wear from day to night, the Bobbi comes in a range of colors to match your style and individuality.


    And yes, last but not least, we’ve seen the growth of holistic health in everything from sleep gummies to hair vitamins over the years. The industry really made a shift in 2023, and thank goodness for us Gen Xers. Peri and Menopause products are now the fastest-growing investment in everything from skincare to supplements, and this brand has been leading the wave with safe and effective products since 2014. Plus, they are affordable. 

    pH-D® Feminine Health Holistic Menopause Support
    PRICE: $29.99
    SHOP: @amazon
    1.pH-D® Feminine Health Holistic Menopause Support is a holistic option to help women who are experiencing the uncomfortable symptoms that accompany menopause, including hot flashes, irritability, mood swings, and night sweats.

  • 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. 

    Garnier Whole Blends Shampoo Bars   
    PRICE: $8.99
    SHOP: @garnierusa.com

    Garnier is Approved by Cruelty-Free International – Garnier is committed to creating a world where no animals suffer in a laboratory.

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

    EC30 Clean Body Wash

    SHOP: @EC30Clean.com
    Want to know what it’s like to wash your body with a lighter carbon footprint? Our body wash strikes a perfect balance we all want: efficiently cleans your skin of sweat and dirt yet leaves your skin moisturized and soft.

    *Fluffy bubbles lather at your fingertips.
    *Leaves skin supple and moisturized

    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
    PRICE: $71
    SHOP: @amazon
    Vegan formula that is enriched with SKIN-ADAPTIVE HYDRATION technology: Prickly Pear Extract from regenerative organic agriculture and Macro Hyaluronic Acid,, combined with biomimetic sorbet texture, gives comfort and intense hydration to the skin, which is immediately softer, smoother and more radiant. Its refillable packaging is a sustainable solution to reduce the use of materials and CO2 emissions. Contains 98,4% natural-origin ingredients

    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 
    Notice up to 60% longer-looking lashes & 120% fuller-looking brows. If you have short, thin lashes or sparse brows, our proven LASH & BROW Dual System with Elastaplex® Technology visibly boosts the length and density of eyelashes and eyebrows — regardless of your age, gender, or health. Made with skin-safe, ethically sourced, naturally derived ingredients and backed by five issued U.S. patents, our groundbreaking formulas have been proven to support the body’s natural ability to stimulate the replenishment of elastin. 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
    Makeup meets SPF with these multi-tasking mineral SPF sheer makeup sticks Trio includes three shades: Rosé, Champagne, and Espresso Martini – a rosy pink, a shimmering highlighter, and a subtle bronze that can be used as blush, highlighter, eye shadow base, lip color, and contour  To use, apply your usual SPF onto your clean face. Then, swipe balms onto cheeks, lips, and eyelids for layered SPF

Potential benefits include Improved Skin Health & Glow: Infrared, which increases your body’s core temperature over time, and helps push deeply-embedded impurities and toxins out of the skin to aid in acne reduction. The technology can also stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture and enhance your glow, giving you a more youthful complexion with continued use. Mood-Boosting Benefits: Just like the sun, infrared rays release natural yet effective doses of serotonin, endorphins, and dynorphins within the body to get you “high” naturally. The use of infrared also lowers the stress hormone cortisol to help you feel less anxious, allowing you to relax and fall asleep more easily. Put your body into a state of healing while releasing endorphins and dynorphins to get you “high” naturally.
