We all love multi-purpose beauty products. They make getting ready so much easier, plus can save some money too. Though this dual-purpose product has been out for a while, it’s my new favorite — the 2-in-1 Oil Blotting Bronzing Paper from Mai Couture.
The lightly powdered paper give your skin a sun-kissed look while blotting away oil and shine. The bronzer is natural looking and has just a touch of shimmer. You can use the papers over moisturizer or foundation as a setting powder, or to touch-up your makeup throughout the day.
You can get a 100-sheet pack plus a convenient wallet for $36 or the sheets alone for $24. Each little wallet can hold two packages.
Do you use bronzer and blotting papers? Give these a try to kill two birds with one stone.

Most skincare fanatics have probably used a product with clay at one point in their lives, whether in a mask, face wash or treatment. Now there’s a new kind of clay on the block, called Amazonian Clay, that’s popping up in a number of Tarte cosmetic products, so we wanted to investigate this star ingredient a bit further. Amazonian Clay is extracted from the banks of the Amazon River where the nutrients are at their highest concentration. This so called “perfect” ingredient multitasks by providing the following benefits: removes surface oil to mattify skin, gives skin a smooth and even appearance, hydrates and nourishes skin and reduces the appearance of dryness and flakiness. Tarte’s products that contain Amazonian Clay include:
- Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Illuminating Serum: instantly brightens skin and with the help of vitamins and tea extract, moisturizes and replenishes for enviable smooth skin. The healing clay neutralizes any skin issues so you are left with a healthy, radiant complexion. Free of parabens, sulfates, dyes, and chemicals. Available at Sephora for $32.
- Provocateur Amazonian Clay Shimmering Powder: adds a subtle glow to reinvigorate dull complexions. This powder can be added minimally for a slight sheen or add lots for enhanced radiance. Free of parabens, sulfates, dyes, and chemicals. Available at Sephora for $30.
- Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush: This nutrient-rich blush benefits all skin types for a fade-free flawless finish for 12-hours. The eight shades are all inspired by Tarte’s best-selling cheek and lip tints, ranging from soft to vivid to suit all skin tones. For oily skin types, Amazonian clay minimizes oil in and balances skin; for those with dry skin, the clay will nourish and hydrate; those with combination skin can rely on its ability to zero in on skin concerns delivering the benefits you need. My three favorite shades are Tipsy (a trendy coral), Blushing Bride (a shimmery plum) and Natural Beauty (a muted strawberry red). The best part is that you can mix and match the shades to create a variety of looks for a dewy glow or intense color. It’s only been a few days and I’m already hooked! This is definitely my fav new spring product. Free of parabens, sulfates, dyes, and chemicals. Available at Sephora for $25.

Trying to cut down your morning routine, aren’t we all! For an easy daytime look, sometimes minimal makeup that puts your natural beauty in the spotlight is the way to go. it Cosmetics, the company that has brought years of make-up secrets, tips and tricks, once known to only celebrity make-up artists, have provided four tips to ensure you look fabulous and better yet, get out the door in just minutes:
1. Groom Your Brows
What you will need: A fabulous brow Pencil
Great looking eyebrows add prominence and frame your face. it Cosmetics brand new Brow Power™ Long-Lasting Eyebrow pencil is truly innovative and unlike any brow pencil currently on the market. Not only is it long-wear, waterproof, smudge-proof and sweat-proof, butt it also has a patent-pending brow growth complex that actually targets brow hair follicle health. It is perfect for those of us who have over-plucked or like myself, just have sparse brows. It also has an exclusive oval-shaped tip that is perfect for both thick and thin brows! As a finishing touch, simply brush through your brows with the comb for a polished look.
2. Create Flawless Skin
What you will need: Creamy concealer and a translucent powder
it Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Hydrolyzed Collagen and Vitamin C & K Concealer is a long wearing concealer that makes skin look polished and flawless. Just a little dab a little with your finger covers up any under eye circles and evens out skin tone. Next, dust a little of it Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Anti-Aging Silk HD Powder to get rid of pores with the stroke of a brush.
3. Make your eyes POP!
What you will need: A great HD Mascara
Swipe one or two coats of it Cosmetics HD Mascara with Eyelash Enhancing Technology on your upper lashes. This Lash Building & Strengthening Mascara with Vitamins & Amino Acids features a new HD brush that gives you uncanny length and separation.
4. Add some moisture to those lips!
What you will need: A fabulous lip balm or gloss
Glosses add a touch of color and shine, creating an understated, but luscious lip. it Cosmetics Signature Smile Brightening Lip Gloss utilizes blue micro-crystal technology that goes on sheer but counteracts the yellow in teeth to create the illusion of a brighter, whiter and more youthful smile. Collagen and Antioxidants provide plumper, healthier looking lips.
it Cosmetics products are available at itcosmetics.com, QVC and QVC.com, in Beauty 360 stores and beauty360.com.

You love chocolate whether you’re sipping it or nibbling it. We know that there are many long term benefits to this decadent treat so why not give your face some love with it? Introducing Raw Gaia’s Raw Chocolate Face Pack which ensures that you face will be smooth and will have a fab texture to it which is essential regardless of where you’re going or the season. This treatment has Raw Chocolate Powder which has a high source of antioxidants, red clay, organic tumeric and organic amla fruit powder as well.
When using it, you can take a teaspoon and mix it with water so that it becomes a paste of sorts which can be applied to the face. After applying, leave it on your face for about 5 – 10 minutes and then you can wash it off. Once your face is dry you should still use your preferred moisturizer just so that you can seal in the nutrients that you have just put on your face.

There are those who adhere to the belief that excessive showering can dry your scalp and take out the natural oils that exist within your hair. Others agree with this and they love that by not washing as much, they have the perfect “dirty hair” which allows them to style their hair as they wish. The All Nighter Styling Powder is an all natural powder/dry shampoo that is also a styling product which creates volume, absorbs excess oil and extends your blowout.
These products come in 6 color matched options that work on all hair types. Although this enhances the glamorous dirty look, it is lightly scented with tangerine and there is real silk powder as a portion of its ingredients. So although you can enjoy one of fashion’s most coveted looks, your hair will have that satin feel which is important when someone runs their fingers through it. Stop in at your local Urban Outfitters or go online to get this must-have for yourself or for someone you know who should be rocking this.
