What’s the best thing about the changing seasons? They give us a reason to try new beauty products! Swapping our beloved bright pinks for deep berry shades or adding a luxurious moisturizer to your nighttime routine are just a few ways you can revamp your repertoire.

The Elemental Eye Collection is a gorgeous eye shadow palette that is sure to become your go-to for daytime and nighttime looks alike. We’ve received several questions regarding the individual shades so we hope this guide provides a little more insight into the versatility of this palette.

Since their launch this past June, our Cream Glaze Crayons have been a top-selling favorite for lip gloss and lipstick lovers alike. The unique formula delivers the color payoff of a lipstick with a subtle sheen of a gloss - all in an easy to use lip crayon! This holiday season we knew we needed to launch a new shade and are confident you will love the all-new Cream Glaze Crayon in

Morning Skincare Routine: I start by cleansing my skin with Purifying Gel Cleanser. It’s perfect for my combination/acne prone skin because it has Salicylic Acid (a key ingredient for acne) which deeply cleanses my pores without stripping away natural moisture. I will alternate this with the Daily Polishing Cleanser which cleanses and exfoliates my skin. I try to exfoliate three times a week. I then take a Clear Complexion Pad, which is considered a toner for acne prone skin, and gently scrub my face. Next, I apply 15% Vitamin C which gives my skin the antioxidant protection to fight free radicals. I follow this with the Daily Hydration which has Hyaluronic Acid. It’s a great lightweight moisturizer and it helps plump the skin. I apply my favorite eye product, Phyto-Active Eye Serum, which targets under eye puffiness, dark circles and fine lines. The final step in my morning skincare routine is Solar Shade SPF 50. It is an all physical mineral sunscreen which makes it perfect for my acne prone skin. Plus, it’s free of parabens, gluten, dyes, soy, nuts and fragrance!

There is always a delicate balance during the holiday season between running around town and savoring quality time with family and friends. Everyone is busy and it’s important that your beauty routine doesn’t add any unwanted stress. We created this 'glam on-the-go' look with those busy days in mind. This simple four-step look was created using limited edition items found in our Classic Elements Holiday 2015 Collection.

Regardless of the season, show stopping lips are always on trend. With this in mind, we created the Color Pop Gloss gift set. These four highly pigmented shades are universally flattering and transcend seasons, making them your new year-round favorites. Not usually a Gloss fan? These will make you reconsider with their rich, saturated tones and solid, reflective shine. The moisturizing formula is made to last and the refreshing bursts of color will illuminate your lips with striking luster! Plus, at $34 this holiday kit makes the perfect holiday gift for the beauty lover in your life. But don’t delay - our holiday gloss sets usually sell out long before December ends!

Earlier this week we posted a tutorial featuring the new Cream Glaze Crayon in chiffon. Now it’s time to turn it up a notch with today’s tutorial featuring the gorgeous new Suede Matte Crayon in crimson. This stunning red will be sure to turn heads at any holiday party, and when paired with a gorgeously simple eye, the results are unforgettable. This look was created using the Elemental Eye Collection.

For many of us, the holidays are synonymous with travel. Whether it’s a roadtrip to visit grandma or a long-flight to meet the future in-laws, we want to bring our beloved makeup essential with us even on-the-go. The Petite Brush Set makes traveling in style easy with four limited edition silky-soft, professional brushes. This includes a powder brush, blush brush, eye blender brush and a dual ended angled eye and eyeliner/brow brush. This kit makes touching up anytime, anywhere easy - just throw this adorable clutch in your purse for flawless application on-the-go!

The holidays are the perfect time to experiment with glamorous new looks. This look is all about creating modern allure with a pretty nude lip, subtle smoky eye and perfectly bronzed cheekbones. We created this look with our favorite Elemental Eye Collection, a palette with eight neutral shades to create endless looks.

The limited edition Shadow Spectrum Mix contains four gorgeous new Cream Stay Shadow Sticks that Janeena, our National Makeup Artist, used to create this showstopping holiday look.

Morning Skincare Routine: Each morning I cleanse with Hydrating Gel Cleanser, tone with Purifying Mist, then apply Daily Power C+ (I then let my dog out to allow time for the serum to absorb) followed by Daily Hydration + and Phyto-Active Eye Serum. Lastly, I top it off with Moisturizing Tint SPF 30.

Last year we introduced two new Cream Stay Shadow Sticks - keepsake and gold blush. These easy-to-use sticks have a long-wear formula that provides rich, buildable color - so it’s no wonder they were a hit. We began brainstorming new, gorgeous colors to include in this year’s holiday collection and are excited to release the Spectrum Shadow Mix. 

Between holiday parties and New Year’s Eve celebrations, the upcoming holiday season calls for effortless glamour and sophistication. This season we are encouraging you to channel the timeless elegance of old Hollywood glam or revel in modern allure with the limited edition Dual Essence Clutch. With busy schedules, we are making it easier than ever to showcase your duality with timeless beauty essentials. The stylish Dual Essence Clutch contains four stunning, limited edition items that deliver a spectrum of looks to celebrate your many moods.

This holiday season we created four limited-edition collections inspired by the idea of adding classic elements to your everyday beauty arsenal. These collections contain staple pieces that set the standard for beauty essentials that never go out of style.

According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among women which is why the month of October has become synonymous with raising awareness for this heartbreaking cancer. We are proud to continue our support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation and their mission to provide help and inspire hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education, and support services.

Whether it’s yourself, a friend, neighbor, sister or daughter- we are all impacted by breast cancer. The good news is that the death rate from breast cancer is steadily declining thanks to new treatments, early detection and the commitment to education from organizations like the National Breast Cancer Foundation. For a limited time, a portion of sales of two new glo minerals products will help support the National Breast Cancer Foundation and their inspiring mission.

Morning Skincare Routine: Every morning I start out by cleansing my skin with Purifying Gel Cleanser. It’s perfect for washing away any impurities post workout without stripping my skin of moisture. After I cleanse, I apply Daily Power C+ to help brighten, lighten and tighten my skin followed by Daily Hydration +, which is a perfect lightweight hydrator. This is the ideal combination of products to help prevent aging while also allowing my SPF to work harder and smarter. Next, I apply Phyto-Active Eye Serum to lift the fine lines around my eyes and help diminish dark circles. My final step before applying my makeup is sun protection. I use Daily Antioxidant Defense Cream (also known as Solar Shade SPF 50 in the US).

For those of you who are big fans of glo minerals Cream Blush**, you will love the latest addition to our collection of bronzers. Cream Bronze is a gorgeous, lightweight bronzer that offers rich pigmentation and all day staying power. Not only is this formula extremely blendable, but it complements both cool and warm undertones, leaving your skin looking naturally sun kissed.

Morning Skincare Routine: I wish I could say I had a simple routine, but I love skincare. I want to try everything and use everything every day. However, I am having another love affair (with my snooze button) so I have had to create a short(er) version of my skincare routine. I start with Purifying Gel Cleanser and sometimes follow with Clear Acne Cleanser, depending on the breakout situation. After cleansing, I use Purifying Tonic and Daily Power C. I hydrate with Balancing Moisture Remedy, which is the best thing since Purifying Gel Cleanser. It hydrates with Hyaluronic Acid, and the Peony and Goldenrod extracts help lighten post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (from previously mentioned breakout situation). I almost forgot the eyes - the most important step after tragic snooze-button overuse. I adore Phyto-Active Eye Serum and Eye Restore. They are both light enough to use under makeup but still hydrating and help de-puff my snooze-button eyes. After Solar Shade SPF 50, I apply the last step in my skincare routine and the first step in my makeup routine, Pressed Base. More on this later….

My wedding day is quickly approaching which means last month’s beauty treatment with Amanda was a much needed break from all of the last minute planning and responding to wedding related emails. Plus, I think the added stress of my busy schedule is causing some very unwanted breakouts around my chin (again). I am so in awe of Amanda and how well she tailors each treatment to my specific needs (and manages to help me relax and take a much needed break from the chaos).

As we say 'so long' to summer, it’s also time to say 'hello' to products that help brighten and treat our skin after months in the sun. glo therapeutics offers several brightening and lightening options that can help repair and illuminate your complexion for a bright & beautiful start for fall.

This contouring palette features four powder shades to enhance features and create naturally sculpted depth and dimension.

Morning Skincare Routine: Every morning I start with my Phyto-Active Cream Cleanser followed by my Daily Power C, Phyto-Active Eye Serum, and either Refine Hydrator or our Skin Firming Cream - depending on the season and how dry I am. I follow this with our new Solar Shade SPF 50.

As my wedding quickly day approaches, I am amazed at how well all of the little details are coming together. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve had our fair share of surprises, but overall I am so grateful for all of the wonderful people helping us make our day so special. On that list is glo’s National Makeup Artist, Janeena Billera, who is doing my wedding day makeup as well as makeup on SIX of my bridesmaids!
