Easy Beauty Tips to Freshen Your Look

Posted on Jun 21, 2022

Introduction

Do you ever feel like you’ve become bored with your look but a total makeover or wardrobe overhaul is out of the question? Have you been too busy to worry about shopping or even staying up to date on what the current trends are? You’re in luck! We’ve gathered a list of the top 8 beauty tips that you can use to freshen your look.

“Freshening your look is not always about changing the way you look to others. It can also focus on refreshing your self-confidence which can take you miles past a makeover that only changes what’s on the surface,” says Gia Marie Jurosky, Director of Communications of RoseSkinCo. “The tips and tricks below can help you feel your best by shaking up part of your routine or reminding you how to take care of yourself so you can feel fresh and excited about your look.”

The best part? Most of these tips can be accomplished during your daily routine. That’s right – you don’t have to make an appointment or change your schedule all that much to take advantage of most of these tips and tricks.

Buy a New Product

Sometimes we just need a change. Explore new products that you’ve been nervous to try out in the past. Use the internet to scour beauty blogs and websites to find a new product that will work for you and make you excited about getting ready for the day. Sometimes all you need is a little change to make your routine a little more exciting and feel refreshed for the day.

“You don’t have to buy something top of the line,” says Natália Sadowski, Director of Aesthetics at Nourishing Biologicals. “Find a brand that you love because of their ingredients or story or because you’ve liked their products in the past. Try something new. This could be something you’ve tried before, had on your wishlist, or something completely new. The excitement of using a new product is sometimes all you need to refresh part of your routine enough to make you feel good about yourself.”

Schedule “Me Time”

Some of us have forgotten how to pamper ourselves. We’re attached to our phones, emails, and all of life’s chaos 24/7 and it’s hard to decompress. Boost your self confidence by valuing yourself enough to set aside time to refresh after a week of stressful meetings or emotional situations.

“Valuing time to ourselves shouldn’t be looked down upon,” says Guna Kakulapati, CEO of CureSkin. “Taking some time to give yourself a mani/pedi, soak in the tub, or read a book can be more influential in making us feel “fresh” than an entire new wardrobe. Don’t be afraid to say ‘no’ to invites to take care of yourself first. Learn to disconnect from work, drama, and life’s struggles for an hour or two each week and you’ll feel like a new person.”

Grab a Tinted Lip Balm

Lip balms are our best friend in the winter months, but did you know that there are tinted lip balms that can be used to freshen your look in minutes? These are perfect for that after-lunch touchup or for days where you just don’t feel like wearing a full face of makeup but feel bare without something on your lips.

“Tinted lip balms and moisturizers are miracle-workers,” says Rachel Blank, Founder and CEO of Allara. “They are typically much more subtle than a lipstick or gloss and because of that they’re more forgiving. Because it’s a tint and not full-blown color they will let some of your natural skin tone show through which leaves the whole look looking fresh but natural.”

Use a Deep Cleanser

Sometimes our skin routines can be put on the back burner because we just want to get to bed or we hit that snooze button a few too many times. However, having a good skin care routine can help with freshening your look and can even reduce the amount of products like concealer and foundation that you need to use.

“Use a deep cleanser to really wake up your pores and remove any built-up cosmetics or oils that have built up on your skin,” says Rachel Roff, Founder and CEO of Urban Skin Rx. “It can be invigorating to do a deep cleanse and then let your skin breathe for a day. Talk about refreshing your look!”

Keep Dry Shampoos and Oils on Hand

These sound like counterproductive products, but by the end of the day most of us need one or the other (if not both). If your hair tends to become oily throughout the day, a quick spritz of dry shampoo at lunch or after the gym can make you feel refreshed. If you have naturally dry hair, you may need to add some oil or conditioner to your ends partway through the day to fight the frizz. Take some time on your lunch break to refresh those locks!

“Dry shampoos and leave-in oils and conditioners can be the perfect refresh before a big presentation or when you just feel like you need to freshen up,” says Oliver Zak, CEO and Co-Founder of Mad Rabbit Tattoo. “Sometimes you might need to dry shampoo your roots and moisturize your ends. Thankfully neither of these products take up too much space and you can easily grab a travel size to keep in your bag!”

Keep Your Nails Neat

We look at our hands more than anyone else while we’re going about our day, so make sure your manicure is holding up to scrutiny by applying a color that’s easy to touch up or maintaining your manicure on a regular basis.

“When you have chipped polish or dirty nails, you’ll feel less put together,” says Ubaldo Perez, CEO of Hush Anesthetics. “Take a few minutes to clean up your manicure by repainting the chipped tips at home or maintaining a regular appointment schedule with your favorite nail salon to keep those digits looking great.”

Drink Water

Keep an insulated bottle of cold and refreshing H2O on your desk to help refresh your body and mind when at work. This is one of the easiest things to do, yet most of us don’t drink enough water each day. Water is responsible for helping us maintain clear skin, ward off dehydration, and keep our bodies healthy.

“Drinking water is one of those things that we mean to do but seem to forget about because it’s boring or we just don’t have time,” says Ann McFerran, CEO of Glamnetic. “Set a timer on your phone or computer to remind you to drink some water or find a way to make it more enticing. There are dozens of ways to flavor your water from infusing fruits and veggies in your bottle or buying a fancy product that makes your water flavorful.”

Try Blotting Paper

Blotting paper is a thin piece of material that feels a little like a cheap piece of tissue, but it’s fantastic at pulling that oil off of your skin and removing that midday sheen that seems to develop like clockwork. Instead of reapplying an entire face of makeup or dragging a makeup bag to the bathroom, try using blotting paper instead.

“Blotting paper is a great way to make sure you look your best while also preventing excessive oil buildup on your skin,” says Jeff Goodwin, Sr. Director, Performance Marketing and E-Commerce of Orgain. “Blotting paper comes in tiny packaging too which makes it ideal for keeping in your pocket, bag, or backpack for easy access. Simply pull a sheet out when you make a bathroom trip and you’ll notice an immediate difference with minimal effort.”

Conclusion

Freshening your look doesn’t have to be an expensive undertaking. You can use products you have on hand or find some low-cost options to help you maintain your appearance and health throughout the day.

“Remember that freshening your look doesn’t have to be a monumental undertaking,” says Miles Beckett, CEO and Co-Founder of Flossy. “Creating routines and practices that you can do daily to make yourself feel good and boost your confidence at the same time will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the rest of the day or week.”

Give some of these tips a try and see what happens for you! Maybe you just need a little tweak in your routine to feel refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to take on the world.

11 Classic Pieces You Need in Your Wardrobe

Posted on Jun 20, 2022

Style doesn’t have to mean trying to keep up with the ultra-fast-paced fashion world. Sometimes it’s the classics that create a truly unique look.

Balance out your wardrobe with season-specific items, but don’t forget to build some staples into your closet. Here are some classic pieces every girl needs to have in their wardrobe.

Classic Trench Coat

Established in 1856, the Burberry trench coat sent this luxury designer brand into the stratosphere. Today, the company enjoys two billion GBP in worldwide revenue, with 214 stores in different countries.

While you may be unable to afford the thousands of dollars required to purchase an authentic Burberry trench coat, a classic, well-tailored trench in tan or black will still give you that chic look you expect.

Little Black Dress

The LBD has always been iconic, and it’s the obvious piece of attire every girl needs, whether attending a glitzy evening or going on a first date.

The goal of the black dress is to make you feel like you’re at your best. With so many LBDs to choose from, there are plenty of affordable options for the girl that wants to look elegant or the girl that wants to look sexy.

To make it work for any occasion, look for an LBD that hits you at the knees or just above. Anything longer or shorter can be challenging to adjust to suit all occasions.

Denim Skirts

The denim skirt is an icon that dates back to the 1950s and 1960s. If it’s too hot for jeans, blue jean skirts are the ideal alternative.

Denim skirts come in a range of styles, from button-ups to miniskirts. There are also more colors than you can shake a stick at, with the classic blue traded for black and white.

These skirts can also work for any season. Wear them in the summer to cool off, or combine them with a pair of leggings in the winter to stay warm.

White Dress Shirt

The white dress shirt is a versatile fashion staple because you can dress it up or down as needed. It’s the foundation of a simple wardrobe as it can work in a job interview or a coffee meeting with the girls. It’s also a shirt that looks great regardless of body shape.

Spending a little extra on a quality white dress shirt that fits well and is durable is totally worth it when building up the perfect wardrobe.

A Blazer

The blazer is the quick fix for an outfit that doesn’t feel quite finished. Make even the most lackluster pairing sparkle with a blazer that goes well with casual and professional looks. It can even go well over certain dresses if you like to be a little daring.

There’s no need to get too fancy with your blazer. Instead, choose a neutral color like tan, black, or navy blue to ensure it goes with practically everything in your closet.

Black Pumps

In terms of footwear, nothing beats a pair of black pumps. But, again, you don’t need to break the bank. Just make sure you find some pumps that are well-fitting and comfortable.

Find the brand or style that appeals to you, and don’t be afraid to spend a little extra for some pumps designed to last.

Brown Loafers

If you need some footwear that’s a little more casual, a pair of brown loafers are the definition of cool. These are timeless pieces of footwear that slip on and can give off a look of comfort and sophistication at the same time.

Opt for some leather loafers, as this is the material that will ensure durability. While other materials are more affordable, they tend to fall apart quickly.

The Ultimate Pair of Jeans

Jeans are perhaps the most recognizable fashion item on the planet. Retail sales of denim make denim the most valuable commodity in the fashion world. There’s nothing like slipping into a favorite pair of jeans, after all.

Classic denim jeans should be well-fitted and styled according to what makes you you. Great denim can be found in a variety of stores.

Blue jeans are the classic option, but you may prefer black or stonewashed. It all depends on what’s in your wardrobe.

Casual Breton Top

The casual Breton top is a nautical-themed top that compliments just about anything in your wardrobe. It’s the type of top that has never gone out of style and is unlikely to in the foreseeable future.

You can also find this type of garment at practically any price point. So if you’re looking for something classy but not too formal, the casual Breton top is one you cannot afford to miss out on.

Wrap Dress

The wrap dress is one of the few flattering dresses without compromising on comfort. Many years ago, Diane von Furstenberg made the style famous. It’s a dress that makes a statement. It works with flats or sandals, as well as some high heels. You can elevate it with the right jewelry or dress it down with some casual accessories.

The wrap dress comes in many styles, patterns, and textures, so feel free to have more than one wrap dress in your arsenal.

Statement Scarf

Sometimes the smallest items make the biggest difference to people’s perceptions. The scarf is one such fashion item.

Statement scarfs can drape loosely around your neck or be tied up to embrace a more retro look. Some people even choose to use it as a type of hair accessory.

It’s one of your wardrobe’s simplest and often most overlooked pieces. But, as far as fashion accessories go, this one is a must-have.

Conclusion

Doll yourself up for any occasion with a wardrobe that shows who you truly are. No matter your style or your personality, the fashion staples can be tailored to suit anybody. However, investing a little extra into your wardrobe will make you look like you’re on the cutting-edge of fashion.

The key is to build your wardrobe from scratch with the classics, so you’re not forced to throw everything out at the culmination of every fashion season.

The Cathedral Durag Veil from Drake’s ‘Falling Back’ Music Video that Takes Bridal to Another Level: An Exclusive Tell-All with Designer Zoba Martin

The Fashion Bomb Staff

Posted on Jun 20, 2022

Drake’s surprise ‘Honestly Nevermind’ album drop has been all the rage over the past week! Fans cannot stop dissecting his caption-able lyrics and bouncing the electronic dance style music, a first for the Toronto-born rapper. Most of all, the visuals for his leading single ‘Falling Back’ have made waves in not only music, but fashion as well. The concept behind the music video was Drake saying I do to 23 brides, which in itself is enough to merit a viral reaction! What really made the video for us, however, was that one-of-a-kind cathedral length durag veil with a mega statement from start to end!

Toronto based, custom designer Chizoba Udeh-Martin, founder of Zoba Martin, has worked with Drake’s team on perfecting major wardrobe moments since the Future, Drake, and Tems “Wait for U” music video, and let us in on some of the details behind the inception and creation of the famous veil that’s about to change the bridal game.

“I have a lot of experience with wedding dresses so this was right up my alley”, she dished to Fashion Bomb Daily. She explained that the veil was a “collaborative process”, and that key stylist Caitlin Wright, whom she met during her last stint with OVO, came to her with the idea to create a dramatic durag-veil with the song title around the hem. “Lace and tulle are my favorite fabrics to work with, so this sparked a lot of creative juices. After shuffling between material options like pearls, florals, appliqués, etc., to spell out the title ‘Falling Back’, the embroidered letters custom made by LandLord Morrison were finally decided.”

She went on to explain how each letter was evenly spaced out and hand-stitched to the base of the veil. “For those two days, I guarded those letters as if my life depended on them!” she laughed, “making sure they were safe and complete.” Zoba took in that this was a major moment, not just for herself but for the single and so, in good craftsmanship to ensure it was a standout piece, she made an extra wide cathedral veil nearly 150 inches long with lace details delicately placed around the edges. She knew exactly how she wanted the lace appliqués to sit and decided it was perfect after a fitting with one of the brides, Ashley Massiah, who entirely ate the look according to Zoba.

“There was a point when Director X and Drake walked in to see the durag veil and had a positive reaction to it, and I had a deep sigh of relief and burst with excitement inside. The entire process took about 2 days to complete and aside from custom-making the durag veil, I also worked on the set to fix any fitting issues with dresses.” The dresses featured in the video, although not custom-made by Zoba Martin, were creations of other talented designers and bridal boutiques, mainly Canadian brands!

Zoba was also quick to shout out the entire wardrobe team Caitlin Wright, Marc Andrew Smith, Tara Ocansey, Zannub Houssein and Xandros stating that none of this would have been possible without everyone involved. “It was an intense and fulfilling experience for me and grateful I was requested again to work on the latest of Drake’s music videos. This is a new experience for me and I’m loving the process.”

We love to see it! What say you?

What to Expect from Beyoncé’s New Album ‘Renaissance’: A Disco Era Rebirth?

The Fashion Bomb Staff

Posted on Jun 20, 2022

After just over half a decade, Beyoncé has announced that she is set to come out with the new-new on July 29th! The timely announcement coincides with the unveiling of her recent British Vogue July 2022 cover, a glitzy editorial story that may be dropping hints at what we can expect from her 7th studio album entitled ‘Act 1: Renaissance’. Sitting atop a giant disco ball in Harris Reed, Vivienne H. Lake, Roker and Tiffany & Co. styled by Edward Enninful, could ‘Yoncé be suggesting a new sound involving dance music, syncopated bass riffs and synthesizers?

It’s been 6 years since Lemonade, and while we did get a whole array of tunes from the Black is King short film as part of The Lion King soundtrack circa 2020, we are beyond stoked for the 16 track album that is coming our way! The release is said to be a pop album, which is quite different for Queen B and her usual R&B, hip-hop, soulful acts. This upbeat album will be a departure and escape from the isolation and injustice in the world over the past couple of years, inspiring us to love and to laugh again. Sounds pretty on part with the disco genre, doesn’t it? Not to mention the reoccurring light-up dance floor theme throughout the Vogue photoshoot and iridescent bubbles surrounding the ‘Pretty Hurts’ artist below – a possible nod to the King of Pop, MJ himself.

If there’s one thing we know about Beyonce, it’s that there is always a surprise up her sleeve when there’s new music in the works. This time around, not only is there a mystery box available for pre-order on her official website, but she’s also launching the first single off the album ‘Break My Soul’ on June 21st at midnight! Will this be the tell-all moment revealing the ambiance and vibes of ‘Renaissance’? I guess we’ll all have to stay tuned to find out!

Are you as excited for ‘Renaissance’ as we are? What say you?

7 Little Tricks To Achieve The Best Results In Work From Home

Posted on Jun 18, 2022

Work from home has become a popular way to make a living, especially after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. It seems like a good idea at first: no commute, flexible hours, and you can work in your pajamas! But after a while, it can become isolating and even boring.

That’s why most workers are trying to come up with ways to make the most of their work-from-home situation. Here are seven little tricks that can help you get the best results while working from home.

Don’t stop looking for a better job opportunity

Your current job may be nice, but that doesn’t mean you should stop looking for a better one. In fact, now is the perfect time to start looking for a new job. With so many online companies emerging day after day, there are bound to be plenty of job openings.

Even if you’re not actively looking for a new job, it’s always good to keep your options open. Our advice is to consult with the resume writing service, craft a perfect CV, and start applying for the jobs you’re interested in. There are many online job boards where you can find work-from-home job postings.

Get dressed for work

Just because you’re working from home doesn’t mean you should lounge around in your PJs all day. Getting dressed for work will help you get into the right mindset and be more productive. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy – just put on something that makes you feel good and ready to work.

This will have a major impact on you and your work. First of all, dressing up will make you feel like you have a big day ahead, which is always a motivation booster. Apart from that, a nice piece of clothes will probably impress your colleagues during all those virtual meetings. It’s a simple trick, but it really works!

Create a designated workspace

When you’re working from home, it’s important to create a designated workspace with all of the corresponding elements. This will help you stay focused and avoid distractions. If you don’t have a dedicated office, try to find a quiet spot in your home where you can set up your laptop and work comfortably.

It’s also a good idea to set up a comfortable chair, a small table, and some shelves for your books and documents. This way, you’ll have everything you need within reach and you won’t have to keep getting up every five minutes. Creating a dedicated workspace is one of the most important things you can do if you want to be productive while working from home.

Avoid distractions

There are many things that can distract you when you’re working from home. It’s important to identify them and find ways to avoid them. For example, if you have a lot of fun browsing the internet, try using a program that blocks distracting websites for a certain amount of time.

If you live with other people, it’s also important to let them know that you’re working and you need some peace and quiet. Explain to them that you’ll be available for breaks and after work, but during working hours, you need to focus on your job.

Avoiding distractions is particularly important if you need to write a professional biography. In that case, you might even hire professional cv writers to help you because you don’t want to deal with external distractions while doing such an important project.

Make a daily schedule and stick to it

One of the best ways to improve your productivity is to make a daily schedule and stick to it as much as possible. This will help you structure your day and avoid wasting time on things that are not important. Start by making a list of all the tasks you need to do during the day.

Then, prioritize them and allocate a certain amount of time for each one. It’s also important to include some free time in your schedule so that you can take a break and relax. Once you have your schedule, try to stick to it as much as possible.

Focus on one task at a time

When you’re working from home, it’s easy to get distracted by all the things that are going on around you. That’s why it’s important to focus on one task at a time and give it your full attention. This will help you stay productive and avoid making mistakes.

If you find it difficult to focus on one task, try using the Pomodoro Technique. This is a time management technique that consists of working for 25 minutes and then taking a 5-minute break. After four cycles, you can take a longer break of 15-20 minutes. This technique is very effective and it can help you stay focused and avoid burnout.

Take breaks

Even if you’re very motivated, it’s important to take breaks from time to time. This will help you recharge your batteries and avoid burning out. Our advice is to take a 5-minute break every hour or two. During your break, you can do something that relaxes you, such as reading a book, listening to music, or taking a walk.

Conclusion

Working from home can be a great experience if you do it the right way. By following these simple tips, you can make sure that you’re productive and you make the most of your time. As long as you stay focused and organized, you’ll definitely be able to achieve great results.

How to write an introduction for a fashion essay?

Posted on Jun 16, 2022

Most people don’t feel convenient writing essays, but it’s different when it comes to fashion essays. Fashion topics are interesting to write about and have the potential to be viral, which is why students and bloggers write them fairly often.

If you want to become a fashion essay writer but find it daunting, then this article is for you. In this post, we’ll give you some tips on how to write an introduction for a fashion essay that will engage your reader and make them want to read more.

Let’s take a look!

Come up with a good topic

The first step in writing a fashion essay is coming up with a good topic. The topic should be something that interests you and that you can write about in an engaging way. Just ask yourself: Why do I write my essay? The answer to this question will show you the direction in which your essay should go.

Another option is to look for inspiration in magazines, blogs, or even social media. It should give you more than enough ideas for fashion essay topics that you can write about. But here’s the bonus tip – always explore the interests of your target audience to make sure your content will be relevant to them.

There are many possible topics that you can write about in a fashion essay. You could write about the history of fashion, the evolution of fashion over time, or even the different trends that have emerged in recent years.

Research the subject

Once you have a topic in mind, it’s time to do some research. It’s an important step because you want to make sure that your essay is well-informed and accurate. Try to find as much information as possible on your topic so that you can include it in your essay.

It’s like asking for help from the dissertation writing service – you will tell them to find out everything there is to know on a given topic. Guess what? The same goes for your fashion essay.

Topic research is vital because you need to have a good understanding of the subject before you can start writing about it. Try to find useful data on your topic and take notes along the way. This will make writing your essay much easier and faster.

Begin with a relevant question or an intriguing statement

The next step is to begin your fashion essay with a question or an intriguing statement. This will help to engage your reader and make them want to read more. It’s a good idea to start with something that will grab their attention and make them want to know more.

For example, you could start with a question like “How has the fashion industry changed in the last century?” or “What is the future of fashion?” These are both good questions that will make your reader think about the topic and want to know more.

Explain what you want to discuss in your fashion essay

After you’ve grabbed your reader’s attention, it’s time to explain what you want to discuss in your fashion essay. This is where you need to give a brief overview of the main points that you’ll be discussing in your essay.

Do your best to keep it short and to the point so that your reader knows what to expect. You can also use this section to introduce the main characters or themes that you’ll be discussing in your essay.

Use humor and be charming

One of the surefire ways to engage your reader is to use humor and charm in your writing. This will make your fashion essay more enjoyable to read and will also help to keep your reader’s attention.

However, remember to use humor in a way that is appropriate for the topic and audience. You don’t want to come across as insensitive or offensive simply for the sake of being humorous. Once again, keep in mind that you should adjust your writing style to the expectations of the target reader.

The last step is to invite your reader to keep reading. This can be done by ending your fashion essay with a cliffhanger or by asking a question that you’ll answer in the next part of your essay. You could also end with a call to action, asking your reader to do something specific.

No matter what you choose, the key thing is to make sure that your reader is left wanting more. This will ensure that they come back for the next part of your essay.

Final thoughts

Writing a fashion essay can be a fun and easy process if you follow these simple steps. Just remember to choose a good topic, do your research, and engage your reader from the beginning. With a little effort, you’ll be able to write an essay that’s both informative and enjoyable to read.

So, what are you waiting for? Start working now, and you’ll have that great-looking essay in no time!

Posted on Jun 16, 2022

From FashionNova.com:

It’s OFFICIAL —FashionNova, the world’s leading powerhouse in e-commerce apparel and lifestyle brands, has made their mark on the beauty industry with today’s launch of NovaBEAUTY! After two years of meticulous formulation, NovaBEAUTY is launching their lineup of cruelty-free, vegan products with the luxurious NovaBEAUTY Lip Collection – an impressive 48-piece collection comprised of 26 shades of their Perfect Pout Lipstick (with three unique finishes), 10 shades of their 2-In-1 Snatched Lip Liner, and 12 shades of their Moisturizing Rich Glow Gloss – and a preview of 29 highly anticipated products from their Eye Collection.

“Fashion Nova has always been about the complete look – an inclusive, head-to-toe aesthetic that is trend-driven, attainable, and high-quality,” says Richard Saghian, CEO and Founder of Fashion Nova and NovaBEAUTY. “We’ve taken the same approach with NovaBEAUTY, partnering with leading industry experts and makeup artists to create high-quality, innovative formulas and shades that are readily available at an exceptional price point.”

The NovaBEAUTY launch will satisfy every Nova Babe’s desire for full-faced glam, while adding a product category that embraces Fashion Nova’s ethos of inclusive, accessible products that complete the total look.
Introducing the NovaBEAUTY Lip Collection:

Perfect Pout Lipstick ($12): Available in 26 shades and 3 different finishes: moisturizing matte, luminous cream, and shimmering cream. All of the lipsticks are infused with soothing sunflower seed oil and hydrating vitamin E for a pouty and youthful lip. Lock in moisture and achieve long-lasting color with a lipstick that looks great on all skin tones and types. No detail has been overlooked on this product from the soft touch packaging to the magnetic cap closure.

2-in-1 Snatched Lip Liner ($10): The ultimate product for defining and blending, the bleed-resistant matte formula comes in 10 shades with a 2-in-1 design to turn the ultimate liner into a lipstick. The liner’s precision diamond tip applicator ensures that you never have to sharper your liner again, while the built-in blending brush seamlessly follows the natural contours of the lips to blend, buff, and customize the perfect shade wherever you go.
Moisturizing Rich Glow Lip Gloss ($12): Available in 12 shades, this product was designed to feel like a balm but shines like a gloss. Gliding on effortlessly with a high-shine finish, these glosses enhance the natural lip with peptides that fill in wrinkles to create a voluminous look, vitamin E to nourish and prevent signs of aging, and jojoba oil to hydrate the lips for results that last long after removal.

NovaBEAUTY is available now Fashion Nova’s website, FashionNova.com/Pages/Beauty, beginning June 14, 2022.
