    BEST OF BEAUTY Spring 2024 Edition on Daytime

    Spring has sprung, and with it comes a fresh wave of must-have products already flying off the shelves faster than you can say ‘blossom.’ We head back to the studio on Daytime Chicago to dive into the must-have, sell-out, and celebrity-favorite beauty products of Spring 2024. 

    You’ve seen some of these brands before, and some are brand new. Let’s start with drugstore picks. Did you know this cleanser by Cetaphil has been trending since its creation in 1947? It’s formulated for sensitive skin, and consumers swear by it. It’s also a top dermatologist recommendation.

    Micellar water is a very different type of cleansing, and this product blows my mind when removing eye makeup and all the heavy makeup we wear every day. This one by Garnier is sold every two seconds. Crazy right?

    Another product that has been a top consumer pick for over two decades is by Hempz. We’re seeing it trending again with beauty editors because vegan is the new It girl, and it has this amazing flowery banana scent.

  • Body Positivity LOVE on Suncoast View

    Body Positivity LOVE on Suncoast View

    February is National Body Positivity Month, which promotes being healthy and happy in the body that you’re in. STG is back to showcase brands that are helping you achieve all that self-love with just a bit of self-care. 

    I love this first product because I really do love all my scars from burns and sports. However, I will say it is very preventative, too, as I  applied it to my belly non-stop when I was pregnant, and I do not have a single mark on my tummy. 

    Bio-Oil Original Skincare Oil
    PRICE: $27.54
    SHOP:@Amazon
    February is Body Positivity Month, which is about promoting acceptance and celebrating all bodies, regardless of size, shape, skin tone, gender, and physical abilities. Bio-Oil encourages everyone to love and care for the skin that they are in. Whether a stretch mark or a scar, your “marks” are representative of where your body has been and a reminder of your strength and personal skincare journey. Made for all skin types, Bio-Oil’s multipurpose Skincare Oils can easily play a role in everyone’s life by helping to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, scars, dry skin, and so much more.


    Hair loss can really impact self-esteem. There are so many products that claim to work, but KilgourMD’s system is proven and super easy to use. 

    The KilgourMD Bundle
    PRICE: $150
    SHOP: @kilgourmd.com
    Developed by a Stanford dermatologist, the KilgourMD system is clinically proven to prevent and treat the appearance of hair thinning. It’s made up of two transformative scalp serums: The Prevention Scalp Serum (which is like sunscreen for the scalp), preventing environmentally-driven aging and the appearance of hair thinning and loss of vitality that sets in over time; The Treatment Scalp Serum (which is like a facelift for the scalp) maximizes the appearance of remaining hair once the damage has already been done. The combination of the active ingredients found in the KilgourMD system was superior to minoxidil in a peer-reviewed clinical trial, with no known side effects.

    The neck has become the NEW tell-all when it comes to age. We’re seeing so many products that claim to smooth and tighten, but few pass the test, and most are outrageous in price. This one is also clinically proven and doesn’t break the bank.

    MAËLYS B-POISED Neck & Décolleté Firming Cream
    PRICE: $49
    SHOP: @ulta
    Get a tighter-looking neck with MAËLYS B-POISED Neck and Décolleté Firming Cream. Clinically proven to help tighten and contour the look of the jowl and neck while smoothing the look of lines and wrinkles in the décolleté area. See results from the 2nd jar.

    And when it comes to gravity, our face isn’t the only thing that begins to sag. The number one request when looking for a bra is LIFT. ThirdLove built these Uplift Plunge Bras to do the job with ultimate comfort and support.

    ThirdLove Uplift Plunge Bra

  • 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.
