I Judged Glamour’s Beauty Awards, Here’s Who Won!

glamour magazine beauty award winnersI’m so excited to announce that for the 3rd year in a row I had the pleasure of being one of the judges of the Glamour Magazine’s Beauty Awards! I was in charge of The Best New Makeup of 2018 and The Best Skin Care Products of 2018 categories and I am so honored they published so many of my quotes. As most of you know from social and my unboxings and daily Instagram stories (@prettyconnected), you know I’m always going to launch parties and trying everything! Which is why being able to judge and also share so many products I love with all of you and in this issue puts me on cloud 9! I wanted to take a moment to highlight my favorite products in each category and talk about why I love them.

Becca X Chrissy Teigen Glow Face Palette + Sunlit Bronzers

Becca X Chrissy Teigen Glow Face Palette

OMG Becca is bringing it! Their latest launches are so hot! There’s the Becca x Chrissy Teigen Glow Face Palette and 5 new bronzers that make up the Becca Sunlit Bronzer collection. All the details below but I just want to shout out what an awesome brand they are. Last week I had two opportunities to hear their President, Robert Debaker speak, first on a panel at the Pioneering Beauty event and the second when he accepted the brands CEW Beauty Insider Award for “Most Buzzed About Beauty Collaboration” for the Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection (you can see all the winners HERE). Also in proud moments, Jaclyn replied to my congratulations tweet, which hit 1500 likes in no time (NBD!). What a force and their ability to bring really great products to market and cool girl collaborations continues with their latest launch!

Becca X Chrissy Teigen Glow Face Palette

So first of all, I love Chrissy Teigen and I wish we were besties/related. Secondly, did you all see the launch party with Chrissy and Becca when they had a slumber party in pink onesies to celebrate this collaboration? I almost died — and no I wasn’t there or invited, but I lusted over social media and pretended I was. As an amazing consolation prize, the palette arrived in the mail this week and I almost lost my mind! I’m going to be real candid when I say I saw the palette on social media, and was slightly underwhelmed. Seeing it in person was a whole other story! These colors are BEAUTIFUL, and buildable from a soft shimmer glow to super pigmented (as if Becca would have it any other way). Two perfect peachy highlighters, with a blush and bronzer that makes for the perfect all in one summer face palette.

If you have oily skin, read this!

I have always had skin that was on the oilier side (especially in my T-zone) and am constantly on the hunt for the best products to keep my skin feeling clean and my make up in place.  There is nothing worse than checking yourself out in the mirror halfway through the day to see most of your make up has slid off, especially in the warmer weather.  Here are some of current go tos!

PC Top Summer Beauty Picks Under $40

Now that it’s officially summer, here are some of my new favorite products to help keep you refreshed and hydrated throughout the season and well into fall.

beauty products

Kiehl’s Skin Rescuer Stress-Minimizing Daily Hydrator ($40) – Stress has terrible effects on our bodies, including our skin! From blotchiness to premature aging (to irritation, acne, dehydration, skin fatigue and redness), this product is lightweight and packed with efficacious ingredients (like Rosa Gallica Botanical Extract, Mannose, Camomile Extract, Shea Butter, and Glycerin) to help counteract these negative effects. Plus it’s fragrance and oil-free! I’ve been using it for about a month and see a noticeable difference in my skins health and complexion.

BECCA Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector ($36) – I’m not big on silicone based primers, especially in the summer. Instead opt for a water-based one like BECCA’s oil-control primer which feels so good on (it’s like giving your skin a drink of water). It smooths out pores and lasts all day. It’s great alone or used before or after your foundation application.

Olay Ultra Moisture With Shea Butter Body Wash ($3.99/12oz, $5.99/23.6oz) – In the last three weeks I’ve changed to this body wash and my skin is noticeably softer and more hydrated. It packs some serious lather but rinses off light, and offers a pleasant scent that isn’t heavy or overpowering. If you’re skin is on the dryer side, it’s a must try; especially in the summer time if you’re hoping to switch to a lighter post-shower moisturizer (or tend to forget/skip that process all together).

Murad Clarifying Wipes ($18) –  Perfect for acne-prone skin, these wet wipes contain an oil-fighting formula that reduces shine, balances and tones skin by removing dirt, oil and bacteria that can clog pores. While it’s great for the face, I pack
