    Good Day New York Pool Party Must Haves 🏝️

    Nobody wants a makeup meltdown or a sunburn while lounging by the pool this 4th, so I’ve packed some fun ideas that multitask all the coverage and protection you need while keeping you looking hot! 

    Let’s face it—it’s going to be hot! We want products that stay put and don’t slide down our face at the first sweat or dip. We also want products that multi-task! This tinted cream is feather light, has a powerful SPF, and has skincare perks.

    I’m unsure if you feel the same, but I feel bald without mascara, and sweat and mascara are not BFFs. This formula by Beauty Pie is my go-to mascara, and I use it on all my clients and myself.

  • VEGAN is the NEW Rizz in Seattle

    VEGAN is the NEW Rizz in Seattle

    Today, we’re diving into the world of clean beauty, and guess what? It’s getting even kinder! With an increasing number of brands shifting towards vegan formulations, the beauty landscape is evolving in exciting ways. STG visits our friends at New Day Northwest to share some of our FAVES in vegan beauty with products that stand out in function and carry that cruelty-free, plant-powered goodness we all love.

  • 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
    The nourishing formulas cleanse and lather like a liquid shampoo. They soften, repair, and revitalize hair, resulting in shinier and healthy-looking strands. Formulated with 94% plant-based ingredients, the shampoo bars are blended without silicones, preservatives, soap, or dyes. The fast-rinsing formulas are 97% biodegradable and dermatologist-tested for safety. To use wet hair and the solid shampoo to make foam, hold the bar and lather from roots to tips, massage the scalp, and rinse. Each easy-to-use bar lasts up to 40 washes.
    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
    PRICE: $19.00
    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.
    *Carries luxurious, lasting perfume.
    *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.

    Summer gives us a whole new reason to grab some new activewear. I mean, it makes us feel more confident at the gym, right? YES, Losano is celebrity adorned, but it’s also sustainable, super sheer for the heat, and incredibly smoothing and chic.

    OPULUS Beauty Labs just launched its Daily Moisturizing Concentrates, comprised of waterless, preservative-free, multi-benefit moisturizing bars. It’s super easy to use. Place two squares into the Activator, add water, press the button, and the ingredients are heated and blended to create a fresh skincare treatment that is warm, lightweight, and packed with a potent dose of vitamins and antioxidants for the best results possible.
    There are three types, each with hydrating properties plus other key benefits: 
    *Brightening with Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Ferulic Acid
    *Soothing & Calming with a quadruple dose of Vitamin B 
    *Clarifying with Azelaic Acid

    Tonya and I both know the beauty of a clip-in pony! It’s the easiest way to guarantee a sleek hairstyle without worrying about what your REAL hair looks like underneath. Plus, it’s so easy to pull back sweaty, oily hair into a pony.
