How do you resolve which manufacturers to characteristic within the bag or, likewise, any magnificence favorites you personally use which are within the bag?
Before everything, we love to provide away merchandise that nobody can get! We’ve got had so many “firsts,” it’s arduous to recollect all of them, however I can title a couple of: The Aura Ring , Mophie chargers and even Poopouri! To be sincere and honest, the manufacturers that pay probably the most get probably the most consideration.

How do you prep, beauty-wise, earlier than an enormous occasion like this—particularly when it’s scorching out?
Have you ever ever heard the of the expression “It takes a village?” Nicely in our case, it takes a metropolis! I’m kidding…type of.
I do the month-to-month upkeep of hair cut-and-color a minimum of two weeks earlier than and get that out of the way in which. Nails are a couple of days earlier than, and I do a spray-tan; I can’t sit within the solar anymore—an excessive amount of solar harm. The day of, Ally and I stand up tremendous early and begin hair and make-up at 7 a.m. to provide us time to dress, take some images and arrive on the venue earlier than 11 a.m. By midday, it’s showtime!
We positively have some “ideas” to holding your make-up on all day and never soften within the solar. First up is a superb moisturizer with sunscreen. Jill Zarin Magnificence is the BEST product for that. It’s a day cream and solar protector in a single. After that, I take advantage of a couple of foundations—however my favourite proper now’s one I purchase on Amazon. It’s a sprig basis that is available in totally different pores and skin tones. I put that on first and construct from there.
Fake eyelashes are additionally one of the simplest ways to open your eyes. I simply realized an ideal trick for making use of eyeshadow: Take your eyelash roller and lay the curve onto your lid, with the highest laying within the crease. Take your colour—I take advantage of a medium/mild brown to start out—and, utilizing a crease brush, put the primary drop of colour above the eyeball on the highest arch of eyebrow. Then, press the colour on high of the pores and skin touching the steel to provide you a clear line, and utilizing a “wiper motion,” unfold the colour throughout, from left to proper. Do this few occasions and carry up the roller. Mix it in and utilizing a moist sponge—a should in any make-up drawer—wipe away extra on the corners or below eyes. Strive it a couple of occasions, and also you appear to be you had it professionally performed!
I additionally like a cream contour stick and blush and I take advantage of a moist sponge to mix. Ensure it’s moist. It makes an enormous distinction! Plus, I really like watching the water on the sponge make it double in dimension. I nonetheless stare in amazement!
I additionally love a lipliner a bit of darker than the lip colour. Amazon sells the very best, most moist lip liner for below $10 from NYX Skilled. I hope this aid you the subsequent time you might be preparing for an occasion!
