Beauty Buzz: Glam ST

Have you ever wanted to know how a specific lipstick, eye shadow, or primer would look on you without having to head out to the store? 

Say hello to Glam ST where you can get a makeover with a simple click of the mouse. It’s a virtual community where you can play around with makeup and if you like an item so much you can definitely added it to your basket and purchase it. You will also find reviews on some of the products that can help with your needs.

Here is how it works. You upload a picture of yourself and follow the process of outlining your face, eyes, eyebrows, and lips. Once that’s done the fun part begins!

There are three sections and each is broken down into categories. For example, face is split into foundation, concealer, powder and blush. You can try on as many products as you please until you find the perfect match for your skin and even play around with the intensity of that shade.

 

Once done you can move on to either eyes or lips and go back and forth until you find the perfect match that completes your whole look. If your make up was inspired by a celebrity or a picture you saw, go ahead and upload it to do a comparison as well as ideas available for friends on the Glam ST community.

I tried two looks wearing a yellow dress which you can only see a bit but good enough to match my makeup and create a look. I was first thinking of going for a regular black smoky eye but then the more I played around the more looks I wanted to try. The first look (above) was inspired by Spring. I went for a somewhat of a natural look with pink lips and low key brown smoky eyes. Then for the second look (below) I went with plum lips and strong eyes. More for an evening look or date night. You can always upload a new picture wearing a top or dress you want to combine makeup with.

Glam ST is easy to use and fun to play around with. Once done with your virtual makeover and you save it, a list of the products you used will appear just in case you forgot to add one to your basket.

I spent a few hours trying on products without worrying I was being annoying. Glam ST  is perfect if you are like me who doesn't know much about wearing makeup and still in the process of learning.

Beauty Buzz: Hask Beauty

www.haskbeauty.com

My hair is growing out and going back to it’s old wild ways. Meaning the waves are starting to show, thickness and frizz have kicked in. As of the end of last year I made the decision to create a routine to try to keep my hair healthy and shiny, which means trying different products to see what works best. I prefer to go the animal cruelty free, less junk in the product–way. So when I received these products by Hask I was really excited to try them. I got a set of Keratin Protein smoothing shampoo, conditioner, shine oil and hair mask. As well as an Argan Oil Repairing shampoo, conditioner, shine oil, and deep hair mask. 

I’ve heard and been told by hair stylist that the best way to protect your hair from hot styling tools is to use products that are infused with Keratin. The only styling tool I tend to use is the blow dryer. I’ve notice parts of my hair beginning to dry up and change color. For that reason I wanted to test Hask Keratin Protein shampoo, conditioner and deep hair mask. I loved the smell of fresh sweet fruit and how my hair and scalp felt afterwards. Usually after I try or switch shampoos my scalp gets dry and flaky. Not on this occasion. My hair had some shine and bounce to it. On the second try I used a bit of the oil while my hair was wet, combed through it and styled it. It looked great all day.

What I liked about Hask Argan Oil is that it’s all in one bottle, which is perfect for me when I’m rushing out the door. Both shampoos and conditioners smell great like a tropical infusion. After using the Haks Argan Oil hair wash products I chose to air dry my hair and see the results. To my surprise my hair didn’t get frizzy or puffy by just only using the shampoo and conditioner. I did notice my hair to be much softer and of course shiny. After using the hair mask my hair and scalp felt they had a day at the spa. There was no buildup or greasy feel. 

I will definitely continue to use these products they are accessible to everyone and affordable. There no residue left behind, adds shine and control, plus it smells great.
