Seven Things for the End of October Featuring a Serucell Giveaway, Fresh Foundation, Nude Lips and Parisian Style

I don’t know about you, but over here at Beauty Professor HQ, this month was intense. I am equal parts grateful and exhausted for 10 hour days lecturing on Zoom with college students and an editorial calendar packed with beauty writing deadlines. Also, including a wildly loquacious 2-year old and an aging pup (both on different sleep schedules as of late), but I am hopeful heart for things to come.

This post is dedicated to seven different areas of beauty that have brought me joy this week. It includes gorgeous skincare, an exciting giveaway, new foundation, a brilliant baby-inspired palette, an array of the most opulent nude lips, rose gold holiday launches. Also, I am sharing a perfect black on black outfit…there’s a little bit of everything!

 

*Serucell KFS Serum (also available at Verishop):

This serum is on my face daily as my #1 anti-aging agent! I’ve been using it steadily since March 2020. My skin has never been better in terms of tone, texture, smoothness and firmness. More on its effects in the next section of this post…I’m excited to be offering a giveaway of this elixir, exclusively for my BP readers.

*Serucell KFS Eye Serum (also available at Verishop):

Every single night, I swipe a touch of this serum along my orbital region and am continually impressed with the way that it tends to my delicate eye area. It helps combatting fine lines, puffiness and darkness with adeptness. Try it and you’ll see what I mean! 

*ZIIP OX (reviewed HERE):

I mentioned earlier this month that I was committing to my ZIIP device with more fervency and, my friends, it’s paying off. This sublime micro-current and nano current device provides instant lift, toning and glow while increasing circulation and collagen production with every session. I will be sharing a tutorial on how I like to use it very soon but in the meanwhile, if this device is on your radar, use code BP10 for 10% off on the ZIIP site.

*Ranavat Imperial Glow Facial Polish:

When I learned that Ranavat was going to release this gentle exfoliator I couldn’t contain my excitement. I adore the brand and have an equally ardent penchant for exfoliants. This balm to milk formula employs rice powder and almond milk. It helps buff away impurities without disrupting the fragile balance of one’s skin. It, my friends, is SO gentle yet wildly effective. 

*Ranavat Luminous Ceremony Cream Cleanser:

I just finished my first tube of this silky and luxurious cleanser (a rare occurrence around these parts!) and am grateful to begin a second. This opulent formula melts away makeup and dirt, leaving my skin decadently saffron-kissed and smooth.

*Jenny Patinkin Rose on Rose Body Roller:

Brand new from Jenny, this marvelous embodiment of form-meets-function takes rolling as a form of essential self care to the next level. It has weighty rose quartz balls and rose gold hardware. Rolling this literal gem over your arms and legs increases circulation. It also helps reduce stress and inflammation (yes, please) and can I tell you, it feels like a massage. I’m going to need to use it again when I’m finished with typing this story! 

*Graydon All Over Soap:

I think I may have found my favorite product with which to wash and shave. Besides smelling like a fresh and verdant, slightly herbal (in the very best way) dream. This clean and green formula cleanses without stripping and provides an ideal cushiony barrier for shaving and the like. It’s an absolute fixture in my shower. 

Baby Tress 3-in-1 Edge Styler:

I ordered this diminutive brush in the loveliest blush tone with Joey in mind as I love the pointed handle to create even parts when I style her pigtails and ponytails. The two different brush heads tame hair with ease, inviting everything to lay flat and smooth. 

My love for EM Cosmetics has grown exponentially this year; the textures, wearable hues and exquisite formulations have consistently impressed me. I am happy to share a closeup of a couple of the holiday releases–housed in darling signature clear makeup pouches–from the brand.

Holiday sets to consider (gift one, keep one!) include:

• *Winter Essentials: Contains lipliner in Kitten (pinky nude perfection) Lip Cushion in Venetian Rose (a universally flattering faded rose), Pick Me Up Mascara (tubing and genius…use it almost daily), Heaven’s Glow Blush in Faded Clementine (a golden peach of epic proportions) and a clear brow gel.

and…

*Starlight Glow Trio:

Contains the breathtakingly gorgeous Divine Skies Eyeshadow Palette (I can’t stop wearing this…finely milled, no creasing or fallout, radiant warm tones), Color Drops Serum Blush in Venetian Rose (for flushed, lit-from-within skin) and Morning Dew Lip Crystal Gloss (for a naturally juicy pout). 

I was recently introduced to the very chic LUCYPARIS and in love with the classic, minimalist cuts that make me want to traipse down the Rue Saint Honore with a piece of cheese covered bread in hand. In the meanwhile, I will settle for my backyard. I cannot wait to try some loungewear next!

• Lucy Paris Scarlett Knit Top: Beautiful mid-weight knit with a sweetheart neck, this is the top your wardrobe has been missing. It’s simple yet sophisticated and on heavy rotation over here. 
• Lucy Paris Gathered Skirt: This vegan leather skirt is silky and lightweight with distinct details that set it apart and I’ll be dressing it up and down for months to come.
• Dr. Martens Pascal Boot: The weather has finally cooled down enough for me to pop on the Docs again…this particular pair, which I picked up last winter, required zero break in time and match everything under the sun. 

Bottom Line: I hope you enjoyed this post and would love know what caught your eye!

Also, don’t forget to swing by the Serucell Giveaway (enter HERE)…I am truly excited for you to try this formula.

Good things ahead, including an easy mother-daughter Halloween look with Joey, holiday newness from BY TERRY and a host of new product procurements. Can’t wait to share!

I am also in the final phases of redesigning this site with plans for the updated version to go live next week.

Stay strong, seek wisdom, much love and more soon,

xx
