Killer Beautyblender?  Nah You're just using it wrong!

If you look in the toolkit of any professional makeup artist, YouTube beauty expert, or budding makeup enthusiast, you’re probably going to find a Beautyblender. It’s the hot-pink, egg-shaped sponge that transformed makeup application in an HD world. And, according to Beautyblender’s CEO, Rea Ann Silva, most of us are using it wrong.

We talk to the founder and creator of the world’s most popular makeup sponge about everything from how she came up with the egg-shaped sponge, to the proper way to use it. She even has a thing or two to say about those who claim that your Beautyblender can kill you. Learn how this beauty mogul and true boss babe manages the empire behind one of the best-selling beauty tools of all time.

We all know that the holidays are generally a time when our wallets get thin and our waistlines expand. But in the midst of a global pandemic, the holidays could be different this year.  We talk to Tatiana Boncompagni, founder of Eat Sunny – a healthy meal delivery plan – about how we can avoid the holiday weight gain.  She offers tips on the healthiest alcohol to drink this holiday and even shares tips on how to reset your diet now instead of waiting for January 1st.

We are always on the lookout for the next best thing, but the newest ingredient in skincare might be an old one revisited - camel milk. 

While it may not be found in many of today's products, for centuries, camel milk has been revered for its curative properties in both Africa and the Middle East. Even Queen Cleopatra is said to have bathed in Camel Milk to maintain her youthful appearance. 

And perhaps there's a reason that this super food is finding its way into our skincare routines. Camel Milk is packed with immune proteins, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals such as:

* Omega Fatty Acids 3, 6 & 9: Building blocks of healthy cell membranes; they create natural oil barrier keeping skin hydrated

* Natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids: Gentle exfoliation of our skin from dead cells

* Vitamins & Minerals: A high concentration of vitamins A, B, C, D & E are all naturally abundant in camel milk. They have repairing properties supporting natural skin rejuvenation

* Immune Proteins: High concentrations of unique Anti-Bacterial, Anti-Viral, Anti-Fungal, Anti-Microbial, Anti-Inflammatory and Immune Supporting Proteins

* Phospholipids: Naturally-occurring molecules that attract water and hold on to it. As a results phospholipids are a crucial component for keeping the skin hydrated.

We speak to Marc Green, the co-founder of Cammellatte – a camel-milk-based skincare line, about the benefits of camel milk and why he created a line around this healing ingredient.

From her start as a bud-tender in 2006, to currently running a multi-million dollar company, Olivia Alexander is truly the “boss babe” of Cannabis. Last year, Olivia launched a beauty product for makeup that turned the industry on its head: the KINGDM Cosmetics THC Primer. The product is the world’s first-ever psychoactive makeup product. It went on to earn the 2019 Beauty Innovator Award for Makeup from Refinery29. Olivia created proprietary formulas for this product and in 2020, expanded her foothold in beauty to include a THC enhanced Foto Setting Spray.  We talk about how and why she created a hemp wellness brand with a line of revolutionary THC and CBD infused products and how she sees an opportunity with cannabis, not just to improve lives, but to improve the world.

Pure vitamin C is a proven and powerful skincare ingredient: it can reduce sun spots and hyperpigmentation and increase collagen production for brighter-looking and firmer skin.  But all of these benefits do not come without a cost – vitamin C is also notoriously unstable and can oxidize quickly, becoming less efficient.

According to Ron Robinson, a cosmetic chemist, once a vitamin C formula has turned brown or orange, it is no longer the powerhouse we expect it to be. After spending fifteen years in the beauty industry as a cosmetic chemist and product development executive for companies that include Clinique, Estee Lauder, Revlon, Avon and L’Oreal, Ron decided to create his own vitamin C formula, Beautystat. The difference is an encapsulated delivery system that helps minimize oxidation and maximize stability. What does this mean? His Vitamin C Serum is as potent from the first drop to the last.  We sat down with Ron to discuss why vitamin C should be an essential step in everyone's routine, and how he came to discover this breakthrough formula.

We sit down with Brian Goodwin, International Educator for celeb-fave spa brand, Eminence Organic Skin Care, to get the scoop on antioxidants. Find out what free radicals are (no, it’s not your high school boyfriend’s garage band), which essential vitamin our bodies don’t produce (but is a complexion game changer) and how to amp up your skin care routine with natural goodness. Ripe with skin care application tips and a visual demo that will make your jaw drop, you’ll be inspired to go back to school  - esthetician school, that is.

Virtual presentations have become an inevitable part of our lives. But you can present your best self with a few simple tips, whether you're on Google Meetings or Zoom, speaking to your co-workers, CEO or cousins.

We speak to Brenden Kumarasamy, a public speaking coach and the host of MasterTalk on Youtube, about how we can improve our virtual presentation skills. He offers tips on how to better prepare our actual presentations and effective ways to practice speaking.

Amber will also share her practical tips on how to ensure you have the best lighting and backgrounds.

We get the inside scoop on breast augmentation from four women who had some form of surgery - for very different reasons.  From a double mastectomy and reconstruction, to a reduction at a young age, to implants and a lift, these friends discuss why they wanted surgery, and everything the WISH they knew beforehand.  They'll share some helpful tips for anyone considering augmentation, whether it's the best things to buy for recovery or how to deal with guesstimating breast size.
