A real Jersey girl knows exactly what she wants ~ and it almost always includes some form of glitter, shimmer or glow…or a delish combo of all three! Luckily, cosmetic companies have caught on and now you can unleash your inner Jersey girl and have an outrageously glam Valentine’s Day (or any other day, for that matter!) with these must have gift items suggested by Lora Condon, aka “The Beauty Buster” and author of SPA WARS: The Ugly Truth About The Beauty Industry.
Our faces are our canvas, so building our look has to start with soft, hydrated, glowing skin, and the best way to get it is with a sugar scrub. Phoenix Rising All Natural Skin Care has a healing sugar scrub that is marinated in luxurious natural oils that leave your skin oh-so-very touchable. www.phoenixrisingskincare.com
No Jersey-girl-at-heart would dare walk out of the house without a tan…but we want to do it the safe way. Scott Barnes, J-LO’s make-up artist, developed Body Bling, the world famous instant tan and shimmer in one. This cream looks beautiful on every skin type and can even be used as a blush. It’s also incredible at fixing and blending self-tanning mistakes. The best part is that it washes right off when you have to go back to reality. www.scottbarnes.com
Now more than ever, glowing white teeth are on everyone’s beauty list…and since you’ll of course have on your sexiest red lip stick stick, you’ll want to use Whiter Image’s Chic-Flic, a rhinestone studded, teeth whitening pen and lip plumping gloss in a convenient dual ended brush that fits perfectly into any clutch. www.makeupwithme.com
Everyone loves the look of tousled, day-at-the-Jersey-shore hair, so Jersey’s own celebrity hairstylist Eric Alt developed Bayside Ocean Spray; it gives you Jersey shore hair with a fresh ocean scent that’s irresistibly sexy even if you’re miles from the beach! www.ericaltsalon.com
Nothing gets your hair pumped up like Big Sexy Hair’s Root Pump Mousse. If you’re plan a long night of dancing at the club, you can remain perfectly coiffed by “doing a shot” of Root Pump directly on the roots of wet hair before you start styling. www.sexyhair.com
Feel like really going all-out in the sexy department? Get some false lashes or lash extensions for a longer lasting effect, bat those beautiful eyes at your guy, and have a fabulous Valentine’s Day!
