Hair Removal Review: Look Flawless This Summer With Smooth Skin & Makeup Tips From Nair

The start of summer is the perfect time to brighten up your beauty routine. Be sure to start with a smooth foundation paired with perfectly shaped brows for a fresh summer look. Thanks to Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Face Wax Strips you can achieve that polished salon shape without the hassle of having to make an appointment or paying salon prices. Nair has an excellent selection of depilatory and wax products to give you perfectly smooth skin.

The new Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Face Wax Strips with Perfect Temp™ technology added to the popular Brazilian Spa Clay line are infused with mango butter and açai berry, known to moisturize the skin, and mineral-rich clay known to purify the skin. The new wax strips take the guesswork out of waxing at home with the Perfect Temp™ technology. Each wax strip contains the Nair logo embossed across the strip. The wax strips are heated by hand and when the logo fades across the entire strip, you apply it to your skin. You can’t overheat it, so there is no risk that the wax will burn you. Results last up to 8 weeks!

Though I love a good salon wax, I’ve long been a fan of waxing at home, especially for those much-needed touch-ups in between appointments. Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Face Wax Strips with Perfect Temp technology provide superior results at home at a fraction of the salon price. In just two steps you can remove hair and moisturize skin for a smooth finish. It retails for only $5.99 which is a small fraction of the salon price.

Want the perfect look this summer? Check out these flawless Summer Makeup Tips from celebrity makeup artist, Ashunta Sheriff:

1. Less is More

A picture perfect look starts with a smooth foundation. Achieve a fresh, clean look this summer with Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Total Care Face Trio, the only 3-step depilatory for your face. Also try lightening your makeup regimen with SPF foundation primer and a tinted moisturizer. Tinted moisturizer will give you a sheer finish, while still having the option of layering with another coat for medium coverage. It’s best to apply with a foundation brush for a smooth result.

2. Get the Perfect Brows

To find the perfect brow shape, hold a ruler parallel to your nose, and level with the inner corner of your eye to determine where the brow should begin. If your eyes are close together, make the gap between the brows wider, and vice versa if your eyes are further apart.

Get salon quality results at home with Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Face Wax Strips with Perfect Temp™ technology. My favorite part about the wax strips is that they can be cut to create the perfect brow shape. Apply thinly cut strips above, below, and at the start of the brow in a triangle to achieve the perfect look.

3. Make Your Eyes Pop

This summer, incorporate colored eye liner into your makeup kit. Apply two coats along your lower lash line to make your eyes pop. Select colors that complement your eyes. For example, if you have brown eyes, use purple eyeliner to make your eyes stand out.

4. Get Great Lashes

In three simple steps your lashes will have volume, life, and separation for a truly memorable look. Using your favorite mascara, start by applying it the traditional way from the base upward, or “uptown.” Next, apply mascara “downtown” to the top of lashes curling the lash down then up. Finish with a “crosstown” by wiggling the wand from side to side as if you are teasing and separating the lashes.

5. Waterproof Everything

Prepare for summer showers and heat by switching to waterproof formulas for your mascara, eye liner, lip liner, and cream eye colors. Always set makeup with waterproof finishing spray to ensure you look great all day!

Silk’n Flash and Go Home Laser Hair Removal System Just in Time for Summer

When you’re a socialite, most of your summer appearances are either poolside or beachside. As you can imagine, hair removal is of the utmost importance. Shaving and waxing aren’t permanent solutions and the cost of professional laser hair removal treatments are in the thousands. So I’m psyched to have discovered Silk’n Flash and Go, a permanent home hair removal system that is both FDA cleared and dermatologist recommended. Using safe light-based technology known as Home Pulsed Light™ (HPL), this system utilizes optical energy to disable hair growth in selected areas. In order to achieve such a thermal effect, the hair shaft needs to selectively absorb light energy and transform it into heat. This phenomenon that will make your summer far less stressful is known as the theory of selective photothermolysis. I’m sure my dad, the chemist, will be very proud of me for this very scientific explanation.

Compared to professional spa treatments, Silk’n Flash and Go, retailing for around $300, is cost-effective which is very helpful for those still aspiring. It is also one of the few home hair removal devices approved for use on the face and other sensitive regions like the bikini area. So it’s ultra-sensitive and can be used to treat both small and large areas. Starting with the fact that no appointments are required for this treatment, Silk’n Flash and Go is simple to use, quick, and clean with minimal set up required. The pulse speed ensures quick treatment and silky smooth skin without ingrown hairs or razor burn. I’ll be sure to bring this along with me on my weekend trips for all of summer 2012.

Silk’n wants everyone to have a socialite summer. Therefore, they are offering 20% off their Silk’n Flash and Go System to all Aspiring Socialite readers with the discount code NYNY.

*Silk’n Flash and Go will not work on individuals with dark skin tones and is not recommended for their use (if the skin tone is too dark the Flash and Go cannot detect the difference between the hair and the skin and will not be as effective).
