What's in My Beach Bag? Sothys After-Sun

No matter how much sunscreen you use, after being out in the sun all day, your skin is going to experience some damage, whether it be a sun burn or drying, you need to moisturize at the end of the day.

I've found Sothys Soothing After-Sun lotion, part of Sothys's Cellu-Guard Sun Care line, to be a perfect way to end my day after being out in the sun. It's refreshing, almost citrus-y, scent isn't over-powering, and it immediately softens my skin. It contains soothing active ingredients, and prevents photo-induced aging. It soaks in pretty fast and doesn't leave me greasy or stain my clothing.

I'll admit, I got a pretty bad burn this summer (in spots that I missed sunscreen) and I've used Sothys Soothing After Sun lotion to help moisturize and prevent peeling.

Lily Lolo Mineral Cosmetics

Great product - fun name! Lily Lolo mineral cosmetics natural lip glosses have everything I want in a gloss: color, moisturizing and long lasting. The glosses are packed with Vitamin E and Jojoba and the Bubblegum Pink shade tastes good enough to eat.

If you're looking to revamp your cosmetic collection, along with your wardrobe collection, for the fall, it's a must-have gloss for all you UK Lipgloss Break readers.


I always like reading about how companies started...here's the story behind Lily Lolo:

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. So when you consider how many UK brands have created their own mineral cosmetics since our launch in 2005, it’s no wonder we can’t stop blushing.

Lily Lolo Mineral Cosmetics is the brain child of Vikki Khan, who first fell in love with mineral makeup whilst travelling many moons ago. Vikki loved the coverage she could get from such a lightweight foundation, but hated the fact no one in the UK seemed to offer a range which ticked all the boxes. Vikki wanted cosmetics which didn’t feel heavy on her skin, were free from all harsh chemicals and most of all were affordable for every woman.

Sadly the search for the perfect brand was disappointing to say the least. So throwing caution to the wind, Vikki founded Lily Lolo and the rest as they say is history.

Today Lily Lolo is an award winning mineral cosmetics range found in selected beauty salons across the UK. It has achieved cult status by beautifully harmonising natural, chemical free ingredients with the ultimate in mineral based technology.

Every product is free from harsh chemicals, dyes and fillers and even has antibacterial properties to help improve the skin. Our foundations, powders and bronzers give women the flawless, airbrushed complexion they so badly crave. Whilst our vibrant eye shadows have the ultimate staying power and make the most of all your god given assets...

Christina Hendricks, Supporting Actress nominee for her role in "Mad Men," wore Lancome, along with her Zac Posen gown, to the Emmy Awards - Celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali gives us the details:

Face:

Vanessa prepped the skin with Lancôme’s La Base Pro. To perfect Christina’s already luminous skin, Vanessa used Lancôme’s new Teint Miracle Lit-From-Within Makeup. “It has an amazing transparent quality that leaves the skin looking flawless and luminous without being shiny,” said Vanessa. “I applied it with a brush and then blended with my fingers.” Blending with her fingers heated up the foundation a bit, allowing for a seamless finish. Vanessa followed with Effacernes Concealer under the eyes, her “all time favorite concealer.”

Cheeks:

For a fresh pop of color I used Lancôme’s Blush Subtil Shimmer in Pink Pool on the apples of her cheeks. Dabs of Giorgio Armani Beauty’s Fluid Sheer #2 highlighted Christina’s cheekbones.

Eyes

The eye shadow was mix of YSL’s Ombre Solo Eyeshadow in Cashmere Brown and Midnight Black. “I applied these all over her lid, under the bottom lashes and blended it out past her natural lash line to softly elongate the eye,” reported Vanessa.

Eye Liner:

To define and elongate the lash line, Vanessa lined the eyes with Lancôme’s Le Crayon Khôl in Black. “I used a touch of liner under her bottom lashes but smudged it for a softer look,” said Vanessa. For added depth, Vanessa used Artliner Precision Point Eyeliner in Noir at the very base of Christina’s lashes.

Mascara:

Several generous coats of Lancôme Définicils Waterproof Mascara in Black were used on the top and bottom lashes.

Lips:

Christina’s lips were a mix of Lancôme lip colors for an effect that Vanessa described as “red with a little dash of pink.” A sheer coat of Color Design Matte Lipstick in Corset was topped by La Laque Fever Lipshine in Cyber Coral.
