US beauty - How to fly like a star

i picked up a copy of US weekly on my way to Chicago last week.

The magazine did a spread on how to fly like a star, which introduce products stars carry with them on board and use to freshen up after flying. I thought the article introduced some really good products, so I am sharing the highlights with you here.


1. Benefit's The Maggie Collection Sunday Funday: All-in-one Touch up makeup kit -  use this kit to touch up your make-up before deplaning (Christina Hendrick's favor)

2. Joy Bryant loves Dior HydraLife pro-Youth Skin Tint to keep her skin glowing after flying

3. Jennifer Love Hewitt said "Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. It's the best!"

QB's note -  I love this product as well. It used to only 1 product called Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream. Now EA has extended this product into a product line. There are lip treatment, facial moisturizer, body and hand cream and a vintage set product. All of them are amazing, especially for those with very dry skin. :)

4. Frizzy hair after flying? Scarlett Johansson fights it with Moroccan oil treatment

5. Under eyes baggage that cannot be checked in? Ashley Greene takes care of it with Guerlain Super Aqua-Eye patches

6. Other quick hiding under eye dark circle trick is using highlighting concealer. Whitney Port loves Fresh Supernova Radiance Brightening Pen.

QB's note - Although YSL's Touch Eclat (2nd picture below) is still my favor, I must say Fresh and Bobbie Brown's highlighting pens are catching up to YSL. 

So, now you are prepared for your summer travel. A girl always gotta look good!

Some tips on the color choices for a good summer look.

• Always pick eye shadow that has 2 colors in the same family but with different shades (meaning one lighter, one darker, see above chancel collection)

• Always apply lighter color in the inner corner of the eye lid and upper eye lid first

• darker color should be applied after the light color and must bee closer to the eye line. You should smudge it outward to create a natural blend into the lighter color.

I have a trick to keep make-up longer lasting. Spray some toner after you complete your make up to keep the powders based make-up in place. If you use mostly oil based make-up product, then this trick is not recommended. However, I will suggest to not use oil or cream based make-up products in the summer, because they can clog pores easily and your make-up will actually fall apart quickly in the heat..
