Beauty Weekend: The Perfect Palette by Pixi

#EnchantedEngchik Beauty Weekend!

Wanting to have “options” on vacation is a nightmare when trying to pack smart because 10 shirts, 7 pairs of pants, 12 sets of shoes, and a whole lot of makeup is difficult to fit in your bag for a 4-day trip. 

Who knows if you want a smoky eye, a “no make-up” makeup look for the nights you’re feeling low key, or 5 different bronzers depending on how tan you get. Don’t get me wrong, sticking to your basic primer, foundation, concealer, and powder makes absolute sense, but for the girls who love exploring different blushes, highlighters, eye shadows, and lip colors should invest in products that have all of those in one single package! 

That is why I have been reaching towards Pixi Beauty’s Book of Beauty. This palette is convenient and absolutely perfect for the summer because of how glowy, neutral, and pigmented the shades are. The book comes with two blushes, two highlighters, and four different eye shadow colors. 

The blushes can be worn together for a peachy-bronze look or on their own for either a matte finish with the peach shade or a luminous finish with the bronze. 

The highlighters come in a pearl-colored shade, perfect for the inner corner of your eye and a bronze-colored shade that can be used on the high points of your face, such as your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and your cupid's bow. 

The eyeshadows can be worn alone or mixed together for a custom shade that only requires you to bring this one palette! Whether you create your own, buy one from the drugstore, or splurge on a name-brand, palettes are totally in this summer and will make packing one less thing you have to worry about.

Book Review: Younger Skin Starts in the Gut

You are what you eat – and eating the wrong foods can show on your face as wrinkles, blemishes and bags.

For years you have been told that the secret to radiant skin lies in moisturizers, cleansers, and sunscreen. While these can help, this nutritionally-based guide provides a better solution for your skin by attacking the problem at its source. 
In Younger Skin Starts in the Gut, Dr. Nigma Talib shows how gluten, alcohol, sugar, and dairy are triggers to an unhealthy complexion.

The secret to taking years off your looks? “Younger Skin Starts in the Gut,” a new book from Dr. Nigma Talib, a world-renowned naturopathic doctor, aesthetician to the stars and leading authority on holistic health.

This book provides a comprehensive healthy skin regimen that produces beautiful glowing skin by balancing hormones, preventing inflammation and maintaining well-adjusted digestion. Say goodbye to having Wine, Dairy, Sugar and/or Gluten Face! 

In the book’s 4-week program, you’ll identify and eliminate your skin-aging triggers (wine, gluten, dairy and sugar) as well as be able to simultaneously heal your gut and stop the process of “digest-aging.” This book guarantees one blissful result: younger-looking, healthier skin.

From every day patients with chronic skin conditions to high-profile stars (like **Penelope Cruz, Kate Bosworth and Sienna Miller!**) who want to look picture-perfect on the red carpet, Dr. Talib has seen the powerful results of her inside-out approach.
