Just because your body has gone into hiding doesn't mean you can forget about it!


I love being covered in sweaters and other warm, cozy duds all winter but that usually means I forget to apply my usual slathering of lotion every morning. I'm one of those people that is always cold in the morning (even in summer) so once winter comes I'll "accidentally" skip the lotion step in order to hop in cozy clothes as quickly as possible after I'm out of the shower (much to the suffering of my skin). If you have the same do-whatever-it-takes-to-stay-warm philosophy, here is a quick and easy way to keep your skin full of moisture during the dry, harsh weather of winter...without needing to lotion up.

Try swapping your usual body wash in the shower for glospa hydrating bath and body oil. Full of goodness like macadamia nut oil, sunflower oil and lavender, it will deliver moisture to the skin that lasts long after you step out of the shower. The biggest benefit? It doesn't create an extra step in your morning routine...in fact, it very likely will eliminate a few minutes spent applying lotion.


However, if you are somehow so tied to your body wash that you can't imagine giving it up, don't fret. Simply have the hydrating bath and body oil in your shower so it gets nice and warm from the steam and apply once you've turned the water off. This way you are able to keep skin warm by staying in the shower, which will help it absorb more quickly, leaving skin silky and supple.

Actually have time for a little pampering? While running a warm bath, add a few pumps of glospa hydrating bath & body oil to the water. It creates a soothing milk bath that as you soak, your skin absorbs nourishing oils leaving it silky.

In the navy...



Newly launched gloPrecision eye pencil in twilight has been getting quite some attention!

InStyle beauty editors choose it as one of their color choices to amp up your look.
It is a perfect, subtle navy that is a fun alternative to your basic brown or black liner. Plus is has the versatility to be worn day or night (and gorgeous for smoky eyes!).

US Weekly recommends it to achieve the look that all the celebs are wearing. By lining the inner rim of the eyes you create delicate definition and make eyes pop!

I created a smoky eye look for day using the twilight gloPrecision eye pencil and the gray shade from the new ballerina gloEye shadow trio that I've been wearing all the time...It's fool proof application is great (especially for me, who early in the morning has little coordination when it comes to applying makeup). All you need to do is sweep the gray shade on to the lid, focusing a little more in the crease. It is a super subtle wash of color so its impossible mess up. Line with twilight and smudge to your liking with the artists' tip on the other end of the pencil. Like I said, this is a definite day look, but if you are looking for a more intense eye look, check out glominerals
mermaid, that features a smoky eye utilizing this stunning shade!

Rock the Vote!


It's the day we've been anxiously awaiting...November 4th! Hopefully you've already voted by the time you're reading this...if not I suggest you get yourself to the polls before they close!


In the spirit of democracy I thought I'd hold our own glo poll here...
What is your absolute, cannot-live-without, what-did-you-ever-do-before-you-found-this glo product?

Comment and let me know (since there are no 2 clear front runners they are all write-in votes).


Mine?
glotherapeutics gloEye restore and glominerals gloPressed base I honestly have NO idea how I survived prior two these 2 products living in my makeup arsenal. Not a day goes by without dabbing on my savior eye cream and making my skin look flawless with this pressed base (in addition to looking fab it's protecting my skin from sun and environmental stresses too!).

Now go VOTE!

Pumpkin Yummy!

Hello glo girls (and guys)...it's been awhile! I was out on vacay (warm, sunny Hawaii I miss you already) but am back and ready to get down to beauty business!

Now that fall is in full swing it is time to get your skin prepped for winter (yes coldness is lurking right around the corner). I have a few skin treatments that I highly recommend around this time of year. Over the next few days I'll post multiple ‘recipes’ for your skin – feel free to mix and mix and match ingredients. All of these can be done at home, but if you are looking for a little pampering check your local spa for treatments that involve these glotherapeutics products.
My first good-skin concoction is what I shall call … pumpkin yummy! We are just weeks away from the only holiday were you have every reason to stuff yourself silly with all kinds of edible goodies…but mainly pumpkin pie. There are many other good uses for this delish orange vegetable….pumpkin pudding, pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup…but pumpkin pie has always been my personal favorite. Until I used gloPumpkin Enzyme Scrub.

Besides the fact the first time I smelled it I wanted to eat it (which in my book is a good thing), it effectively exfoliated my skin without any irritation and left my face looking luminous! Pumpkin enzymes, which are full of antioxidants and Vitamin A, help to break down dead skin cells while date seeds and jojoba beads provide extremely gentle physical exfoliation. The texture is creamy and doesn’t feel harsh on the skin like a lot of scrubs, which is great news for my sensitive skin. And an added bonus is that it contains ingredients that are helping strengthen and condition the skin, so it’s not leaving your precious face stripped after you rinse it off. I’ve paired the gloPumpkin Enzyme Scrub with the new gloConditioning Restorative Mask for this super simple 2-step treatment. The mask is full of all kinds of goodness to further strengthen and hydrate the skin – acai, black currant, wild yam and shiitake extract just to name a few. It also one of the top smelling glotherapeutics products – yes I said smelling. I have strict criteria that my skincare products must meet and smelling wonderful is one of them. Ridiculous? I think not.


On to the regimen…

Gently massage a small amount of gloPumpkin Enzyme Scrub on to dampened skin. Leave on for 5-10 to allow the enzymes to do their job, then rinse off. Dry face with a soft towel. Apply a thin layer of gloConditioning Restorative Mask and leave for 10 minutes. After your 10 minutes is up massage into skin and ta-da…done! Does it get any easier than that?!


If you want to complicate things here’s another option.
Rinse the mask off after 10 minutes and dry face. Apply a glotherapeutics serum (gloSuper Serum or gloRenew Serum are great choices to get skin back in shape after summer) and allow a moment to let it absorb into skin. Lather on a nourishing moisturizer like gloConditioning Hydration Cream or even richer gloConditioning Restorative Cream and then enjoy the rest of your evening knowing your damaged summer skin will soon be radiant again! Stay tuned…another treatment recommendation coming your way in the next day or two…
