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.

Cate Blanchett launches Change Destiny Series with SK-II

OMG I met Cate Blanchett! And I somehow managed to not have a heart attack. As many of you know Cate Blanchett is a long time ambassador for SK-II and started using the brand 15 years when her makeup artist introduced her to their legendary Facial Treatment Essence. Considering she doesn’t look like he aged in the past decade+ you can see why many consider this product the fountain of youth.

This week, Cate Blanchett hosted the launch of the new Change Destiny Limited Edition Facial Treatment Essence series in NYC. Same iconic formula available, now available in three limited edition packaging featuring the brands Change Destiny mantras – “Be the Person You DECIDE to be”, “CHANGE is in All of Us” and “DESTINY is a Matter of Choice” – individually emblazoned across all white bottles.

As a huge advocate of change, Cate talked about the campaign as well as her experience with the brand and the importance of sun protection and sleep when it comes to taking care of your skin and body.

As the days near to the holidays here are some awesome beauty gifts to have on your radar! Whether it’s a hostess gift or something for yourself, tis the season to spoil the ones around us! And I’m a big sucker for packaging, especially when it comes to gift giving. Here are some of my favorites for the season!

SK-II Spring Butterfly Limited Edition Facial Treatment Essence is probably the most glamorous gift you can give of the season. If ever a time to splurge on the cult-favorite Facial Treatment Essence which contains the largest concentration (with over 90%!) of their signature magical ingredient, Pitera, it’s now!  The limited edition packaging features a butterfly designs inspired by Suminagashi (“floating ink”), the traditional Japanese art form of marbling. The butterfly is a symbol of elegance and metamorphosis, which is pretty much what you can expect to happen to your skin. For more on why I love this product you can read my full review HERE.
