Engchik Holiday Gift Pick: Travel Savvy and Fresh With Designer Beauty Wipes

Savvy Travelers, a leader in designer beauty wipes, has added two new products to their beauty line.

Most women agree that there are times when freshening up may be necessary. It can be difficult if there’s no water and soap nearby, at least until now. 

Savvy Travelers has changed all that with their line of beauty wipes, making it easy for people to freshen up, eliminate germs, and feel great even when there’s no soap and water nearby. 

Whether taking them along on a date, heading to the airport for business travel, or just keeping them handy in the office, they are helping women across the nation.

“Our product line is comes from our own experience as women and knowing what we want and need,” explains expert traveler Tina Aldatz, chief executive officer of travel wellness company Savvy Travelers. “It’s not always possible to be around soap and water to clean and freshen up, but it is always possible to keep our designer beauty wipes handy.”

Savvy Travelers recently added two new wipes to their product line, including:

• Bottomz Up – Designer wipes that are sensually refreshing. These booty bidet wipes cleanse and freshen up, and are safe for all skin types. They are eco-friendly, cruelty free, and pH balanced for feminine use. Let's face it, we all should have these stashed in our purses!
  
• Lift Offz – No more being stuck with chipped nail polish while on the run. These designer wipes contain nail polish remover to provide an instant removal. One wipe effectively removes the nail polish from all 10 nails. Plus, it contains Vitamin C and mineral oil, which strengthens the nails. The Lift Offz wipes have also been designed to moisturize the cuticles and help grow the nails. They are lint free and will even remove nail polish containing glitter.

These two new designer wipes join their product line, which includes Klean Upz moisturizing hand and body wipes, Klean Offz sanitizing surface wipes, Take Offz facial wipes, No Sweat antiperspirant wipes, In the Klear lens and screen cleaner wipes, and the best-selling Speak Eazy dentist-approved mouth and teeth wipes.

The designer cosmetic wipes make great gifts, including for those seeking unique stocking stuffers, for people who travel, fitness buffs, moms on the go, and teachers. They are each individually wrapped, making it easy to carry them in a purse or bag, and to keep some in a desk drawer, car, or gym and yoga bag. 

Those looking for an ongoing gift may want to consider enrolling their special lady friend into the Savvy Travelers subscription service, called “Wipeaholics.” This will keep a monthly supply of 30 must-have wipes being delivered each month to their mailbox. For only $20 a month, it is the gift that keeps on giving, and will most likely save her when she's in a bind.

“Imagine being able to freshen up anytime, anywhere. That’s what this is all about,” states Margarita Floris, co-founder and president of Savvy Travelers. “Our line of designer wipes has become so popular because it puts the power into your hands to clean up, freshen up, and feel confident anytime. You can’t go wrong whether you are buying for yourself or as a gift for someone else. Women everywhere love them!”

Beauty Weekend: Essence Make Me Brow Review

Girl, your eyebrows are on FLEEK. 

These words have never left my mouth nor have they been used to describe those two lines of hair directly above my eyeballs. I have never been the type of girl who paid much attention to her brows, therefore it was super unlikely for me to praise or recognize another girl’s fantastic job of tweezing, plying, shaping, or filling them in to utter perfection.

However, I wholeheartedly believe that eyebrows can make or break a person’s look. Whether they are too thin or too bushy, too dark, too light, or barely there at all, eyebrows can make you go from zero to one hundred real quick.

It took me a long time before realizing that maybe my face would look more defined if I lightly filled in my eyebrows, but everyone knows that the first time isn’t always what you’d expect. I walked out of the house looking like I had two orangey-brown squiggly lines on my face, and that’s when I knew brows just weren’t my thing.

BUT, my mind quickly changed when I discovered tinted brow gel. The less committed I need to be to a product, the better I feel because god forbid I make a mistake, it’s easy to fix. I tried Essence Make Me Brow brow gel in “Browny Brows.” Since this color was a little dark for me, I used a very light hand at applying it, just to give my brows the right amount of coverage. I then buffed the product in using a slightly larger clean brow brush to even out the color.

The applicator is so tiny and precise that it gives you all the power when applying and doesn’t feel too bulky in your hands. The shape and color stay for hours, and the little tube it comes in makes it beyond accessible for traveling and on-the-go touch ups. 

This is one product I would seriously keep with me at all times!

#BeautyWeekend: Bumble and Bumble Defines Fabulous Style

Honestly, do you ever relish in the idea of going to an over-the-top hair salon, putting on one of their synthetic silk robes, getting your head professionally massaged with expensive-smelling shampoo/conditioner, and to top it all off, seeing the end result of perfectly blown out waves with no single strand of hair left behind? 

Yep, me too.

BUT, most of the time we’re not always as lucky to head to the salon whenever our heart desires, which is why Bumble and Bumble created their signature, holy-grail Styling Lotion. 

Let me tell you, this stuff WORKS. Their spray is geared toward any hair type-fine, fragile, damaged, or color-treated and helps create volume, shine, body, and touchable waves after styling. 

Use it on damp hair and spray in sections before blow drying. The consistency of this product is very fine and feels absolutely weightless on your hair.

I paired this spray with It’s A 10 Miracle Leave-in Product and blew my hair out with a paddle brush to create effortless volume with some waves. The styling lotion not only protected my hair from the heat of the blow drier, but left my hair ridiculously smooth and shiny. 

Bumble and Bumble has always outdone themselves with their line of haircare, but you need to get your hands on this stuff because I doubt you’re going to want to use anything else when you’re done!

500 Days of Beauty- Makeup Eraser

Makeup Eraser was created by three generations of women in 2012.

Love your makeup but don’t sleep in it!

Take it off with JUST WATER! No chemicals, no soap. Just water! 

You can use this magic cloth up to 1000 times with just water, and then wash it with soap and water. I throw it in the wash each week, and comes out looking great and gets back to work removing my makeup when needed!

A friend of mine uses this magic cloth after wearing tons of studio makeup in her line of work as a top supermodel and actor. She finds that all she needs is water and this cloth. The Makeup Eraser to takes off the thickest TV makeup in less than one minute. Then she washes the cloth with soap and water and air dries, all in less than 2 minutes!

No makeup remover products needed to take off your mascara, blush, eye shadow, eyeliner, even removes lipstick.

Super Supermodel Debbie Dickinson says, “After I apply my tonic and cream, my complexion glows. I am less fatigued by the process when I get out of the studio or meetings to take makeup off, and the process is so much quicker!

MAKEUP ERASER is found at www.makeuperaser.com and at Ricky’s, AOL, Sephora, and many fine beauty supply companies across the Globe. Available in Pink or Black.

Zyn Beauty - Fast and Fabulous

#500DaysOfBeauty

When I first heard about Zyn Beauty- essentially mobile makeup- I was intrigued. Doesn't it take a long time to get gorgeous? Time most of us don't have; I know I don't.


Zyn Beauty is the brain child of two attorneys- the tagline balance between busy and beautiful- certainly had a niche to fill. Who has hours to stand around and get their makeup done? Most of us have to get up pretty early in the morning to achieve a gorgeous face- and Zyn knows you don't have a lot of time, but want to look your best. And- also, no one wants to pay hundreds for this either.

Enter the brilliance of Zakiya and Nirvana, who often found themselves canceling beauty appointments if they worked late, or not being able to fit an appointment into their busy lives. They decided to create a mobile service that went to the client and worked with their needs- hair, nails, makeup- without the client having to travel to several locations. 

I booked an appointment for mere hours before my 20 years high school reunion and was arriving home from the shore after having Thanksgiving with my fiance's family. As it were, I come home at 3:30. My beauty therapist, Angela Ware, arrived exactly at 4:00, came in, set up, and we were off!

I told Angela the look I was going for: sexy-casual, with full hair and great makeup. Most of my classmates I see on FaceBook, but it's been a while since I've seen many of my classmates in person.

Angela is a true professional- she added product and turned my fine hair into a full head of fun curls with body and sassy bangs. My makeup was a palette of bronzes and golds with dramatic eyes and a first for me- false eyelashes- which once they were on I loved wearing! So bold! 

Working with MAC makeup and a host of other top-of-the line cosmetics, Angela made me look like a well-done version of myself. I wasn't wearing so much I didn't look like me. One of the best things of this experience is that Angela put me right at ease, chatting, and using her great products. All I had to do was sit there and let her work her magic on me.

Add in my favorite ellelauri top, jeans, and boots with fantastic jewelry and I was set! 

All this- Under an hour and half!!! who says beauty needs to take forever!?

And at the reunion- everyone said I looked fabulous, which was very awesome to hear. The confidence that those false eyelashes gave me was great!

The thanks goes to Angela Ware and Zyn Beauty!

#500DaysofBeauty Guest Post- Sun 365 Self Tanner by Kristi

Hey everyone! Happy Spring! I've got a whole host of fun exciting summer essentials, but before those warm rays brown you bronze, get a little bit of help from self-tanners.

The problem, however is the scent, the application, the orange... how to combat this?

My friend Kristi says she has found a decent product:

"I finally found a self-tanner that no-shoot-honest-to-god DOES NOT SMELL. This is monumental, people. My legs will *not* be the color of raw chicken this summer!!"

Paula's Choice Sun 365 Self Tanning Foam.

Plus, after Kristi had it on for a few hours, she said: 

"Ok, now that it has bonded with my skin for a bit I am catching a hint of self-tanner smell. However, it is very faint/tolerable and the color is perfect and has not collected/made dark spots on rough areas.
If you're a fair to medium-skinned gal, this is for you."

There you have it folks- from a lady who has decreed it shall work!

Additional Note: 6 hours later, Kristi did detect the Self Tanner Smell, but it still had great coverage! So during the application process there isn't a smell, which is a bonus!

Have you tried it? What do you think? What kinds of self-tanners do you swear by?

Drop a dry bath bomb into a tub full of warm water and watch it fizz with yummy essential oils and scents for your bathing pleasure.

If you aren't sure of what scent they would like, try the Cinders (yellow and red with a cinnamon scent), So White (white with a light apple scent), for example. 

Salena's Salon -Supporting Small Business Saturday!

It was about that time to get my hair highlighted, since I want to look smokin' for the holidays! And, I had some root showing. Don'tcha just hate when you have root showing!?

Me, before!

My friend Stephanie from high school has been with Salena practically since day 1. Salena opened the salon 18 years ago in Phoenixville, and Stephanie has been working there for the last 17, making Phoenixville's ladies and gents even better looking!

When you step inside Salena's the salon is warm and brightly lit, with an instant feeling of welcoming and relaxation. Come in, relax, have a cup of coffee, and your stylist will create a look that flatters you and makes you feel great!

I have a short layered bob with very fine hair, so finding a style that doesn't leave my hair just flat can be tough. Plus, I don't want to spend an hour on my hair after getting up at 5:30, driving an hour, going to the gym and trying to be in my office by 8am.

How do I look?

Steph added in some bright golden highlights along with darker blonder low-lights, then cut in layers that added a more modern shape with some side bangs. After we had that look, Steph showed me how to add some soft sexy waves in, giving me a pretty night look.

Final look!

Salena's Salon does all hair- Brazilian blowouts, cuts, color, highlights for all ages! Plus, you are supporting a local salon! Keep all your shopping this holiday season for small businesses!

The Salena Salon Team

  

Find Steph and Salena and all the talented stylists at 81 Schuylkill Road, Phoenixville, or call 610-933-4555.

Special Thanks to Stephanie Hughes and Salena's Salon!
