    Daytime Chicago Beauty Awards 2024


    It’s November, and that means it’s time for our Beauty Awards with Daytime Chicago! We headed back to the windy city to reveal the standout products we’ve featured this year that made the cut for 2024. These picks are based on viewer feedback, social love, and each product’s varied uses and durability. 

    🏆BEST EYE CREAM🏆
    Last featured in June, we picked Purdori for many reasons, but some of the reasons why viewers loved the nourishing eye cream are:
    *Lightweight hydration (non-goopy)
    *Works well under makeup
    *Great for sensitive eyes and contact wearers
    *Works on fine lines, darkness
    *It feels cool and refreshing on contact

    Purdori Nourishing Eye Cream
    PRICE: $73.00

    The skin around your eyes is particularly delicate and enjoys a little extra nurturing. Rich Nourishing Eye Cream reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It provides an intense nourishing that absorbs quickly and can be applied immediately before putting on your make-up. Purdori is packed with clean and effective ingredients and sources the highest quality natural skincare ingredients. While most skincare products contain 60-90 percent water as their primary ingredient,  Purdori’s “row ice plus” blend is made with ice plant extract, rose water, and aloe vera, constituting as much as 80 percent of every Purdori formulation. Purdori is proudly cruelty-free; its packaging is 100% recyclable and FSC-certified. Also, for every product sold, Purdori will donate $1 to Water.org to help bring clean water to people worldwide.

  • Relief & Renewal: Effective Solutions for Common Perimenopause Complaints

    Relief & Renewal: Effective Solutions for Common Perimenopause Complaints

    October is National Menopause Awareness Month, and while the month may be wrapping up, millions of women continue to navigate this hormonal change every day. I chatted with Natalie from Tampa Bay Morning Blend to introduce a few innovative products to support women during this transformative time.

    Restore collagen to skin, bones, and joints with Revive, and this little sachet doesn’t stop there. It’s packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and even retinol.

    Revive Collagen
    PRICE: $54.99
    SHOP: @us.revivecollagen.com
    Women lose an extra 30% of collagen in the skin during the first 5 years of menopause – Revive Collagen Enhanced Plus has a potent dose of 10,000mg hydrolyzed type1 marine collagen (closest to human type 1) which works to help boost collagen production from the inside out whilst enhancing skin elasticity with added Retinol. With consistent daily use, you can expect to see results in just 6 to 8 weeks. Joint pain is common during menopause, and many women experience accelerated bone loss (10-20%)* loss– supplementing collagen can be a great way to support bone and joint health during this time. With added vitamins B6, B12, C & D, Revive Collagen can also help to boost your energy and reduce tiredness and fatigue. It’s the ultimate all-in-one beauty & wellness shot for the menopause! These liquid sachets have up to 95% absorption rate and are  20x more powerful than a pill or powder and are easy to take on the go with their ready-to-drink sachets. Made with no artificial colors or flavors, free from soy, gluten, dairy, GMO, lactose and added sugar.

    Hair loss is common during “the change,” but it doesn’t have to be thanks to Nutrafol.

    Nutrafol
    PRICE: $88.00
    SHOP: @nutrafol.com
    As the #1 dermatologist hair growth supplement brand, Nutrafol takes a whole-body approach to hair health by targeting the root causes of hair thinning and supporting your hair from the inside out. Nutrafol is a leader in developing science-backed hair growth solutions for specific life stages. Because October is Menopause Awareness Month, I’m especially excited to highlight Nutrafol’s Women’s Balance supplements, specifically formulated to address menopause-related factors like hormones, aging, and metabolism that can impact hair health for women 45+. Nutrafol is the first hair supplement brand to publish studies on menopausal women with thinning hair, and its Women’s Balance supplements are proven to improve hair growth in 3-6 months.

    Dry scalp, hot flashes that soak your hair? This hair milk is great at bringing back shine and luster to hair, but it’s also super clean and natural, so it’s easy on a sensitive scalp.

    Davines OI All in One Milk

    Lips are a mess. They shrink, crack, and are super sensitive. Is there anything that hormones don’t attack?

    RMS Beauty

Available in 8 memorable shades all created by our founder and master makeup artist, Rose-Marie Swift, and named after the legendary supermodels in her own life and launching exclusively with Ulta.com.

    If you’re like me, nothing smells like it used to. Hormones have made all of my favorite fragrances smell a bit funky. This perfume was made for this stage of life. It’s even got a clever name. Because sometimes we need to pause through the hormonal rollercoaster. The scent is bright and light.

    Abel Pause
    PRICE: $130.00
    SHOP: @us.abelfragrance.com
    Co-created by Abel Founder Frances Shoemack and French Perfumer Dr Fanny Grau, Pause is a response to their own journeys of hormonal change. Saddened by a society in which Perimenopause (the period of hormonal change typically experienced by women in their late 30s to late 40s leading into Menopause itself) is only discussed as a signpost for being devoid of vitality, the two women wanted to offer a bold response. Everything Pause embodies, from the rich floral scent profile to the vibrant bottle design reflects their mission; to bring confidence and sophistication to this stage of womanhood.

You can say goodbye to all those other crunchy, drying hair creams because The Homecurl hydrates, conditions, and softens curls thanks to its nourishing formula made with Wild Mango Butter. The Homecurl’s unique, spreadable gel-cream texture gives the right amount of slip, moisture, and touchable soft hold for defined, bouncy, healthy-looking curls. HOW TO USE: The Homecurl is best applied to damp hair in sections from root to ends; scrunch to encourage curl definition or style as desired. It also works on dry hair.

    RevAir Reverse-Air Hair Dryer
    PRICE: $399
    SHOP: @myrevair.com
    RevAir is designed to dry, stretch, smooth, and lengthen all hair types in less than half the time of traditional blow dryer/flat iron combinations while using less heat, making it healthier for all hair types and preventing it from changing your natural curl pattern. The patented technology dries hair in the natural direction of the cuticle (downward) to lock out frizz and seal in shine. The device gives you easy options so you can dry & stretch for protective styles, smooth for polished styles, and still be able to rock your natural hair when you choose. It works on hair extensions, braids, and locs — all while being gentle on tender heads.
