Something old, something new, something vintage something blue…
No, not rehearsing for a dearest friend’s nuptials, it’s New York fashion week- the seasonal gathering of all that is don art, trend, staple and couture. Since 1944 New York Fashion Week has been a pilgrimage for budding fashionistas, and a debut for the new designer or model. But for a veteran, the shows are a renaissance obra de creación artística cultura.
Now as for the above referenced rhyming adage, fashion week never gets old. But the customs and traditions that we’ve established around fashion week never die. In fact, they grow larger, and carry us through the season from fashion week to fashion week. Hence why the Ellalumi Beauty understands every fashion week participant and attendees’ need to go in with a boom and exit with a bang. So whether this is your first introduction to fashion week or if you frequent every season, to carry you through NYFW SS18 Ellalumi curated the first NYFW Fierce Beauty & Energy Survival Kit for living long days and multiple skin types.
1. Moisturizer
Running to and for from show to show; late nights at in production; rehearsals; cocktail parties or perhaps blogging the night way, it’s no wonder people looks for hacks and tips to get through the fashion week day to day. But sometimes there’s no hack or tip for basic like moisturizing. A good moisturizer is the foundation to your fashion week look because after all, the camera is on you too. But the time saving hack is really in choosing the right product. This season Ellalumi Beauty found two amazing choices for multiple types.
Belief Hydra Sebum Control Essense
Oily Skin/ Combination Skin and Some Sensitive Skin Types
An interesting thing about oily skin, if it’s not properly moisturized it will over do the trick itself, by producing excessive amounts of sebum.
So whether you’re battling patches of oil slick, or have over active oil glands overall, this blue and white box of a Belief Hydra Sebum Control Essense is for you.
Hydra Sebum Control Essense mattifies skin without sacrificing luminosity or making skin appear dull or dry. It also reduces the appearance of pore sizes while moisturizing. It’s weightless and sits well under makeup without rolling or pilling. It’s moisturizing enough to keep your lipid layer intact, after a day to night makeup bump or a full change (although you shouldn’t, but may insist.)
It’s gentle and fragrant free, for those of you sensitive to fragrance or perfume-y products. However if you have sensitive skin, we (always) recommend you conduct a skin patch test first.
2. Face Mist
For those of you who need that early to mid day, moisture boost or need to refresh a makeup look, after taxiing the fashion week network or spectating presentations, all you need is a proper face mist to make you look and feel makeup mirror new.
Tacha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist
Dry & Normal Skin Types and Some Sensitive Skin Types
Tasha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist contains red algae, which is rich in antioxidants, repairs skin from UV rays and protects skin from environment stressors, pollution and lack of sleep. It’s milky consistency is hydrating both under and over makeup. It’s a light mist of which 1 to 2 sprays will span over the entire face, leaving a lite sheen, but not a wet face. The product is very well packaged to prevent leakage or product exposure to the air and sunlight. Luminous Dewy Mist now comes in trial size; perfect for a those clutches and satchels for which we sacrifice space for the look.
Amore Pacific La Crème Fluid Essential
Dry To Normal Skin
If you’re constantly treating dry patches or dry skin over all, this one is your fashion week go to. This water rich formula hydrates, seals and promotes firmness. It’s formulated with 150 baby green tea leaves, and thus contains antioxidants, green polysaccharides and vitamin A. Amore Pacific La Crème Fluid Essential is an anti aging and texturizing, moisturizing fluid which sinks quickly into the skin. It also works well as a day or night cream.
3. Korres Lip Butter
All Lip Types
This pot of lip butter melts into your lips, living a slight shine and tint. It been a personal conditioning favorite of mine, keeping lips soft to prevent chapping while braving the chill and course winds during the early September storm season. It also prevents lips from cracking during due to seasonal allergies or from a few too many post fashion show cocktails.
4.Moroccan Oil
All Hair types
This product is one of my infamous hair care multitaskers!
Good for frizz, fly always, repair and maintenance. It’s potent in but a simple drop or two. It also absorbs quickly with out weighing down hair or living a residue. It comes in a light formula for color treated and fine hair textures or the original formula. It keeps tresses hydrated and conditioned which is the key to staying fabulous and flawless throughout fashion week from beginning to end.
6. Nosh
Anyone who believes that Fashion Week is only about styling, looks and the spot light is mistaken. You still need calories to carry you through the day to the post show dinner. This is one of the few times Ellalumi Beauty suggests a supplement bar to save you time and give your energy.
Dean & Deluca Performance Matcha & Espresso
Bio Nutrition Bar
For those who find yourself in need of a snack on the go, the Dean & Deluca Performance Matcha & Espresso Bio Nutrition Bar is the perfect pocket sized treat. It’s all natural, contains 220 calories with only 3 grams of saturated fat and 10 grams of sugar. Part of Dean Deluca’s new Bio Nutrition Line, this bar contains the proper calories, sugars, and fats you need if you find yourself skipping a meal or two during fashion week. Also, the matcha and espresso content is more than enough to keep you up and alert after long fashion nights out.
