Boost Your Confidence And Organic Holiday Glam

BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE + Organic Holiday Glam

by Brandy Edwards

2020 has been a crazy year, which might be the only thing that everyone can agree on. Regardless of whether you came out of quarantine feeling like your best or your worst self, remember that both happiness and confidence are a choice. Maybe you adopted healthier habits or maybe fell out of your routine after staying cooped up inside for months. Either way, today is a new day and each day presents a new opportunity to work on becoming your best self yet. Be kind to yourself as you navigate the rest of this unprecedented year and prepare for the holidays. With that said, if you want to enhance your features and layer on your confidence with beauty products this holiday season make sure to try juice BEAUTY, The Organic Solution™, which is an antioxidant-rich skincare and plant-based makeup company backed by science. Rather than using PEGS/ petroleum derivatives or water, juice BEAUTY formulates organic products with antioxidants and a vitamin-rich organic botanical juice base. In fact, juice BEAUTY uses 30 freshly squeezed organic botanical juice concentrates for the base of their products rather than diluting with water. Below are 4 products to add to your list to try this season:

Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Eye Treatment

With all of the holiday gatherings, whether you are attending events virtually or in person, start your morning and end your evening by giving your eyes some extra TLC. Regardless of your age a good anti-wrinkle cream will serve you well. I love the flat applicator tip and a little bit of product goes a long way. To use, simply press the applicator tip under your eyes to dispense the product then gently massage the applicator around your eyes, starting at the inner corner and working your way out. The best part is that this product, in addition to the use of fruit stem cells, has been clinically validated and in just six weeks 100% of the people studied reported improved hydration, which we all need more of during the winter months.

** the stem cells are plant-derived as confirmed by “Juice Beauty proprietary blend of fruit stem cells: apple buds, grape buds & lemon leaf. *Certified organic ingredient / † Plant-derived

PHYTO-PIGMENTS Liquid Lip

This is what I am calling a five-in-one lip product. It goes on like a matte lipstick but is not dry at all. Interestingly, it feels like a lipstick but looks like a lip-gloss! The product description provides, in part, that it is a “soft lip balm to the touch” and “wears like a lip stain”. There are 8 gorgeous colors to choose from that are highly pigmented with an intense concentration of plant-derived pigments for color instead of harmful dyes. Even if you typically wear neutrals or have never worn a bold lip before, there is no

better time than now to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new. My personal favorites include Cameron (strawberry pink), Kate (bright pink), and Reese (cherry red).

PHYTO-PIGMENTS Illuminating Primer

One thing that stood out to me is that this product does not have much of a scent, which I love! This lightweight primer is great for all skin types and is formulated without silicones or dimethicones. A primer should be used before your foundation to help fill in your pores and help your foundation stay on longer and apply smoothly. This primer also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with its age-defying serum technology and hyaluronic acid.

PHYTO-PIGMENTS Flawless Serum Foundation

This foundation is extremely lightweight and feels like it becomes one with your own skin, rather than feeling like it is heavy or is sitting on top of your skin. It comes in 13 shades and is formulated with coconut alkanes instead of silicones. It is for all skin types and it is buildable for medium to full coverage. When used in conjunction with the juice BEAUTY Illuminating Primer you can say bye-bye to your makeup settling into fine lines, which anyone with mature skin can certainly appreciate! This foundation also hydrates your skin and has antioxidant protection with Vitamin C and E.

Whether you are, or are not, wearing layers of makeup or layers of skincare, confidence is a choice. Wear as much or as little as you like because the only opinion that matters is yours. While I absolutely love makeup, I equally love not wearing any makeup at all. However, whenever you need a self-esteem boost, or just want to elevate your typical routine, clean makeup and skincare is not only a great way to practice self-care but is also great to help layer on your confidence. Think about it, just like you wear your favorite Fall perfume or style your lovely Winter outfits, everything you do, big and small, layers on your confidence in different ways. While luxurious makeup and skincare can help you feel better about yourself and boost your confidence, know that it only enhances the unique beauty that you all already have. Embrace and enhance your individual beauty however you see fit while simultaneously challenging yourself to refrain from comparing how you measure up to someone else. Beauty is subjective and the beauty of another never subtracts from your own, always remember that.
