COTZ: THE MODERN SUNSCREEN

Being that May is Melanoma Awareness Month, we will be sharing some of our favorite sunscreens and tips for keeping our skin healthy and looking good all month long. We want products that don’t make us look like a white-faced crazed sun hater or like a shiny, sticky, greasy beast. We want to feel clean and beautiful without fear of getting sunburned or wrinkled up like a Sunkist raisin.

The red banner of CoTZ  sunscreen caught our attention at a recent BeautyPress Spotlight Day event. Well, I for one had never come across their products before and boy was I in for a treat. CoTZ stands for “Contains Only Titanium & Zinc Oxide.” This product was developed to provide maximum protection for individuals that need extra protection or may be photosensitive. This line of healthy mineral sunscreens offers a nice range of products: Pediatric, Sensitive, Face and Pure. These products have no synthetic ingredients, preservatives or chemicals. I had the pleasure of speaking with the founder of this sun care line, Dr. Harry Fallick. He began his career as a board certified plastic surgeon, didn’t love what he was doing, and began Cotz. Yay for us!

  The first thing that came to mind when I heard zinc oxide were the summers my mom forced me to wear the white pasty zinc from the local pharmacy. Apparently my mom was one of the few who was ahead of her time. While our friends worked on their tans, she supplied our community pool with tubes of zinc and extra sun hats. The zinc would often end up in my eyes, and it wouldn’t wash off without carefully scrubbing my skin with a washcloth till it was almost raw. Let’s just say my memories of zinc oxide were less than favorable, and I was nowhere near getting voted cutest girl. But, this sunscreen is a far cry from what I used to use. CoTZ offers a soft, sheer matte finish and has virtually no smell at all. After applying it to my hand, I watched it disappear, leaving no residue at all. Being that it isn’t sticky, has no offensive smell, and doesn’t leave you with a white film on your face, I’m also thinking that my kids won’t object to wearing it. That means less time I have to spend chasing them on the beach with sunscreen in my hand and more time doing my favorite beachtime activities!

GIVE YOUR MAKEUP BAG A SUMMER MAKEOVER

As the weather gets warmer and we begin to break out the sunnies and shorts, and if you're anything like me, you give your makeup bag a summer switch-up. Long gone are the days of heavy foundation and powdery blush - it's too hot and your makeup will literally melt right off your face. Overhaul your collection with some fresh water-and-sweat-proof cosmetics. Read on for our summer must-haves - grab them in time for Memorial Day!

Liquid foundation is one of my favorite products - nothing provides coverage like that, but during the summer you can visibly see it caking and melting off. Not cute. On top of that, most foundations don't have SPF, which you must wear every time you step into the sun. In recent years, BB creams have become super popular, and with good reason! The super light creams are hydrating, melt-proof and contain SPF. Some of the most well reviewed on Pampadour are Smashbox and Maybelline's. If you need a bit more coverage, go with the slightly heavier Smashbox CC Cream - it corrects dark spots and contains SPF 30! If your skin barely needs any coverage, go with a tinted moisturizer - Laura Mercier's is a classic. 

If you're anything like me, you need to wear concealer at all times. No beauty woe is worse than gorgeous eye makeup being overshadowed by unsightly dark circles. To ensure your concealer doesn't fade away halfway through your beach day, go waterproof. We have two favorites - one higher end and one drugstore, both incredible. Make Up For Ever is on top of the waterproof game (we'll get into their Aqua line a little later…), and this concealer is no exception. Long lasting, full coverage, oil-free, this will stay put through even the hottest of heatwaves. The inexpensive alternative is by NYX's Incredible Waterproof Concealer and rings in at a wallet-friendly $5! Trust me, this will stay on even when you're swimming laps in the pool…they don't call it Incredible for nothing.

Not sure why, but many people are hesitant to try cream blushes. I guess it's the mystery of the unknown - many don't know how to apply it, how to blend, etc. (Hint: dot it on with your fingers! If you feel like you might've used to much, use a Beauty Blender or sponge to diffuse it a bit.) Cream blushes will sink into your skin and stay put - powder will feel heavy in the sweltering heat. Two classics that I'm using right now are Stila's Convertible Color and MUFE's HD Blush. 

The eyes have it! From mascara to shadows and liners, there are TONS of waterproof eye makeup options. In terms of mascara, nothing beats Dior. It grabs every lash, volumizing and lengthening. Grab the Azure Blue mascara for a fun twist. The new MUFE line of Aqua Matic shadow pencils is unbelievable: they glide on and stay on. Use the super pigmented, waterproof pencils as shadow or thick liner. On top of that, the color selection is gorgeous - ranging from funky neon colors to neutral everyday shades. As far as straight up liners go, Stila's is pretty great. The famed Stay All Day waterproof liquid liner has definitely earned its name - seriously: go for a dip in the ocean and this stuff will not budge. Plus, they recently added fun colors to the range, including vibrant pink. So go ahead and sport it for a relaxing day in the sun!

LIPSTICK RULES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN

Back at the start of 2014, we predicted that orange lips would be everywhere this spring. We weren't exactly wrong in that forecast, but what we didn't expect was that it would be a big season for bold lip colors of every variety! From purple to yellow to blue, vibrant lipsticks are making a big statement.

Not surprisingly, Rihanna was one of the first to get creative with her lipstick color choice. She was previously spotted with blue lips, but really caught everyone's attention when she sported Dolce & Gabbana's Smeraldo:

Supermodel Joan Smalls managed to pull off the nearly impossible and stand out amongst the daring fashion and beauty risks from all the A-listers at the 2014 Met Gala. This simple pop of bright purple was a genius touch and brought her otherwise conservative look to the next level.

NYX released this macaron-inspired collection and the Pampadour community is OBSESSED. Perfect for anyone who wants to really make a statement with their lipstick choice. We also love that the names make us think of our favorite little French treats.

Lime Crime is synonymous with bold and bright. Check out some of the lipstick swatches, above! We love the line because their vibrant colors really stay put for hours...plus the packaging is irresistible! If you haven't yet, make sure to enter our Lime Crime spring giveaway on Pampadour!

THE SUNSCREEN WE'LL BE USING ALL SUMMER LONG!

When it comes to sunscreen, I want to know that I am protected. I want a high SPF, I want protection against UVA & UVB rays. What I don't want is stickiness, an overwhelming fragrance or white residue. Enter Team Pamp's new obsession: MD Complete Anti-Aging Youthful Skin Sun Shield.

I applied this underneath my makeup for a day when I knew I would be walking outside for hours. It was so lightweight and almost instantly absorbed into my skin. It's SPF 50, which is great for someone who likes coverage. Amazingly enough, the lotion was also super hydrating and moisturizing. The sunscreen, developed by Dr. Brian Zelickson, also contains anti-aging properties, so you're sure to have glowing, youthful skin!!

Definitely recommend this! For more sunscreen, self-tanner and summer beauty recommendations, log onto PAMPADOUR!

OUR DAY AT THE MAKEUP SHOW!

Team Pamp headed to The Makeup Show this past Sunday, and we had a blast! The show, hosted at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan, featured some of our favorite brands, exhibits and tutorials and lectures from the biggest pros in the business! Follow the jump for a look at our exciting day.

Had the amazing opportunity to sit in on a chat with makeup LEGEND, Charlotte Tilbury! During the talk, she announced that her beautiful line will be making it's US debut in September - can't wait!

There was a well-deserved exhibition dedicating to the life and career of incredibly talented, gone-far-too-soon makeup artist, Kevyn Aucoin. The pictures above display his personal makeup kit, his first magazine cover and some of his most insightful quotes.

The selection at NARS was any self-declared NARSissist's dream! They had such a wide array of products, plus a look at the beautiful Adult Swim summer collection.

Think of Inglot - with its wide color and product selection - as sheer bliss for a makeup artist. And those wild, whimsical, colorful lashes?! Don't even get us started... obsessed.

Stila consistently knocks our socks off with its unique gotta-have-them products. Pink liner... do you dare?!

It seems like The Makeup Show adours Pantone's Color of the Year as much as we do - their favorite Radiant Orchid products were on display at the front of the convention!

Yes! Make Up For Ever blew us away with their selection of bold pigments, immense products and GLITTER. We couldn't stay away - keep an eye on Pampadour to see what we purchased.

We got our hands on the super-popular, always-sold-out Contour Kit at the Anastasia booth. Woo hoo!

We finally got to try the Surratt line, and it actually exceeded our already-high expectations! From the pigmentation to the colors, this brand is just breathtaking. It's obvious that the quality is extremely high - expect to see us pamping about Surratt a lot in the future!

Another line we were excited to get a peek at at the show was black|Up Cosmetics. The beauty brand is specifically targeted to women of color - we were told that there is a lot of red in their products to neutralize their skin tone, and the products have mattifying qualities to combat oily skin. Their selection was beautiful - we definitely recommend it!

We already featured the Kevyn Aucoin exhibit earlier in the post, but take a look at the exquisite Kevyn Aucoin Beauty line! We absolutely adour the extensive selection of lipsticks and makeup brushes shown here.

PAMPADOUR TAKES THE IMATS!

On Sunday, Team Pampadour headed into NYC to attend the famous IMATS. Our resounding conclusion? Definitely worth the hype! Follow the jump for highlights and photos from our Sunday Funday :)

The line at Lime Crime was absolutely insane. It was out the door of the giant convention center! Once we got our hands on some of the products, though, it was clear to see what all the fuss was about. From the lipsticks to the shadow palettes, this line is one of a kind. Bright, vibrant colors, super pigmented and so long lasting it's crazy, this is one of our new obsessions!

Lime Crime lipstick in Geradium

Lime Crime lipstick in Coquette

Lime Crime Velvetine in Suedeberry

The NYX station was, obviously, a madhouse. The people working at that station handed out buckets, and LOTS of people managed to fill theirs up! It was kind of shocking how much makeup they were buying!! The selection was great - so many different shades of eyeliner, Matte Lip Creams, foundations, etc. At a solid discount, it was definitely a great day for bargain hunters.

NYX purple mascara, eyebrow gel and waterproof Full Figured mascara

NYX Matte Lip Creams

NYX Love in Paris palette in Parisian Chic

A peek at the NYX selection

NYX liners

I'm not a big falsies person, but I can appreciate a great deal when I see one! Ardell had a giant wall filled with false lashes (they said many styles were already sold out). The deal was 6 pairs for $20! Clearly, people stocked up.

The selection of brushes at BDellium Tools was incredible. Who knew there were so many different types of makeup brushes?! Everything was lined up so beautifully, it was pretty irresistible. Would probably say the same for Sigma, but the line to approach their section was so long we couldn't even see! Tons of people were lined up, waiting to meet YouTube star Carli Bybel.

We couldn't resist picking up some OCC Lip Tars!! Fifty percent off, woo hoo!

There were demonstrations, tutorials and makeovers all over the place! IMATS was truly beauty lover heaven.

THE BEST BEAUTY MULTITASKERS

Beauty products that work double (or even triple) duty are incredible. They save time, money, space…what's not to love? We've rounded up some of our faves, after the jump.

Stila's Convertible Color is the perfect thing to have in your bag for quick touchups. The cream stain works on your lips, cheeks, even lids…plus, no brush necessary! Use fingertips when you're on the go and need a little pop of color.

Physicians Formula's super precise liquid liner promises to work double duty as a lash serum, too. Liner that will make lengthen and thicken your lashes? Sounds good to us!

An oldie but a goodie, Schick's Intuition Razor lathers up while you save, eliminating the need for shaving cream and preventing cuts and nicks.

Too many beauty tools? Replace your curling iron and flatiron with the Instyler. This two-in-one hair tool has the ability to straighten your hair or add waves, depending on the look you're going for.

Treat blemishes as you cover them up! There are too many concealers and foundation that make your skin worse as you're camouflaging them. With Clinique Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer, you can shrink annoying zits while keeping redness at bay.

Translucent powder, like W3LL PEOPLE's Realist x Mineral Polisher, has a multitude of uses. Use it to tone down your look when you've gone slightly overboard with blush or bronzer. Swipe it onto lashes between coats of mascara to thicken, layer with lipstick to mattify and lengthen the staying power…even use it as a dry shampoo!

Here's one for the guys: RAYMAN by Ray Simons is a multitasking oil that soothes the skull, face and neck, and also works as a shaving oil!

CRAZY FOR CORAL

The moment the weather begins picking up, we instantly reach into the depths of our makeup bags and whip out our favorite coral product. It's finally time to brighten up our looks with the perfectly peachy-pink goodness of coral - follow the jump for our favorite products in the hue, from drugstore to indie to high-end.

YSL, how we love you. Rouge Volupté Shine in Coral Intuitive might just be the most gorgeous color they've unveiled yet. It's truly the most vibrant, gorgeous coral. The buttery soft lippie applies evenly and dries to a radiant finish. 

It's totally understandable that dropping $35 on a blush might seem crazy to people, but trust us when we say this is a worthy beauty investment. Hourglass' incredible Ambient Lighting Blush is a hybrid between it's famous Lighting Powder and breathtaking blush. It creates this ethereal, radiant effect unlike anything we've tried before - this coral shade is one of our favorites for its soft, summery look.

Our obsession with everything NYX is seemingly never ending. The latest addition to our increasing collection is their matte lipstick in Hippie Chic, a perfect light coral that glides on evenly and is long lasting. 

In addition to its pretty packaging, Clinique's Cheek Pop blush is somehow both natural and vibrant. We adour the cheery peach color - it's easy to blend and lasts all day!

Essie's Resort Fling is the perfect pedicure color for sunny days! There's something about coral polish that screams vacation - it's always a go-to for getaways.

Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Brick in Nectar creates a soft, subtly sparkly coral glow. Brush it over your cheeks - would look absolutely gorgeous with a nice tan.

We first fell in love with Cailyn Cosmetics when their liquid liner was a featured giveaway prize during our Gloss48 Pamp Party. Now we're obsessed with their coral Tinted Lip Balm - super moisturizing, long lasting and convenient packaging, it's a must-have!

To see what coral products and looks Pampadour users are loving right now, head over to the feed!
