Alayni's V-Day Glam Goals!


Glam goals - Alayni’s got ‘em. Check out this gorgeous pumped-up look she created for Valentine’s Day using some of her favorite Aveda makeup products - polished and pretty with an extra pop of color! To create this stunning look, check out Alayni's instructions below.
Skin:  Prep skin with Botanical Kinetics Purifying Gel Cleanser, Toning Mist, and Intense Hydrating Creme (in either Soft or Rich).

Eyes & eyebrows:  I shaped and filled my brows with Brow Definer in Dark Blonde. I used the brown color from the Petal Essence Eye Color Trio in Earth Rose on the outer corner of my eyelids, and then applied Petal Essence Single Eye Color in Spark to the middle of my eyelids, and then used Lemon Spice in the inner corners. I finished up by using Inner Light Mineral Pressed Powder in Honey to blend my eye shadows together with a fluffy eye shadow brush.

Face:  I applied Inner Light Concealer in Birch under my eyes and down the middle of my nose. Then, I added Inner Light Mineral Tinted Moisture in Aspen to a damp sponge and blended them together. Then, I used the Honey powder again to contour my cheek bones and at the top of my forehead.

I dipped a damp sponge into my container of Inner Light Mineral Loose Powder and added it underneath my eyes to “bake" (see below). I then used Petal Essence Face Accents in Peach Lights as my blush and put it on my cheek bones and the tip of my nose. Lastly, I used a big face brush to wipe off any loose mineral powder.

Lips:  My favorite part! I used Aveda Feed My Lips lipstick in the shade Jujube! Perfect for Valentine’s Day!

Finishing touches:  I put a thin layer of the Mosscara in Black Forest on before applying fake lashes. I used Lexi Richard's (my sister!) lash brand “Lala Lash” (add text link) in the style “Secret."

ICYMI:  We only wish baking had to do with cookies, but it doesn't! Baking your foundation means that you let your translucent powder sit on your face for 5 or so minutes, allowing the heat from your face to set your foundation and concealer - then, you dust it off as Alayni covered above. What's left is a flawless finish. Judging from Alayni's photos, we can say with confidence that this technique works!

Karen's Gift Pick's to Ease Stress & Uplift!

If you’re looking for a great gift for a loved one, nothing says “I love you” or “I care” more than giving personalized gifts that address self-care and well-being. While the gift options with Aveda products are limitless, I love gifting products from Aveda’s Stress-Fix and Beautifying body care lines to those who I cherish. Here’s why:

Relaxation and mindfulness are always important - but even more important now that we’re constantly shifting to working and living in different ways - and sometimes, it’s at a rapid-fire pace - and sometimes, it feels heavy. It’s important to take the time to breathe, center, and relax. It’s even better to give this gift to the ones you love to help them feel good!

This is why I like Stress-Fix and Beautifying so much - and I love to mix and match the products as a gift set - not just for Valentine’s Day, but any day - just because!
Stress-Fix products are infused with organic lavender, lavandin, and clary sage. Lavender is more of a sweet floral, whereas lavandin is strong and herbal. Clary sage is widely used for medicinal purposes - specifically, stress relief. Combined, this awesome triad creates an aroma designed to reduce feelings of stress and help you unwind.

Beautifying products also use lavender as a key aromatic, along with organic rosemary and bergamot to help uplift and nourish.

While there are many product options with these lines, I like to pair and mix the Body Moisturizers and Creme Cleansing Oils from each line, as well as add in either the Beautifying or the Stress-Fix Composition Oils for an extra surprise boost! Composition Oils are so versatile - they can be used on hair and scalp, hands and cuticles, on the body, and in the bath. Adding 2 - 3 drops to lotion or creme intensifies moisturization, and helps to nourish dry skin - especially during the winter months. Plus, you get the added benefit of aromatherapy to help you relax and unwind.

Have fun mixing and matching these product lines as gift sets for those you hold close to your heart, any day of the year!
