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!

Nude Make up

What is nude make-up? A nude make-up is even though you did put make-up on, it looks as if you didn't. It should look very natural and effortless.

The way to achieve this look :

1. Light weight foundation, but with good coverage.

Try Benefit Foundation Faker. It gives a good coverage. It's also a little wet, so the moisture helps the make up to blend in better. There is a reason why it's called the Foundation "Faker." It helps you fake the really good natural skin look.

Also use the Smashbox High Definition Concealer . It is an excellent concealer, but it doesn't look too heavy. Make sure you find the right color for your skin.

2. Pink and light cheek

Try Benefit Pink Cheek Stain. It helps to get that little blush on face, but not that visible or obvious like you brush them on.

3. Soft pink lips, and glossy

For girls with lighter lip color: Dior Addict Lip Glow

For girls with slightly darker lip color, use Cargo Botanical Lip Stick - Lindsay (Sheer Pink Cream) to soften the color, then use a little colorless lip gloss.

4. Light or even no eye shadow.

It won't go wrong with Urban Decay Eye Shadow - the Midnight Cowboy, Maui Wowie and/or Grind

5. Thin and not obvious eye line

Sharpened your liner pencil before you apply. Do it in one shot, don't go back and forth thicken the eye line.

6. curly eye lashes, use less mascara than usual, just enough to hold the lashes curly

Try wiping your mascara brush before dipping it back into the bottle before applying. It cleans the extra dried mascara liquid off, so it doesn't clog up on the lashes, which will make eye make-up look heavy and dirty.

Enjoy the natural nude look!
