Summer Essentials: Las Vegas Trip

So I just got back from Las Vegas last week, and even though it wasn't humid as it is in NJ, it was still between 100-110 degrees, making it feel like I hot blow dryer was constantly aimed in your direction. Here's a look at some skincare and accessory essentials that helped me withstand the heat, as well as working all day at Las Vegas Market.

For skincare essentials, SK-II Facial Treatment Essence is always part of my regimen. I use it morning and night right after my cleanser and before applying a serum. It helps my skin feel hydrated and refreshed. This has 90% Pitera, the main ingredient which does wonders on my skin. I suggest getting a sample from Nordstrom or picking up the Pitera Essence Set to try this and some of their other products. 

I can honestly use skyn ICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels ($30) at anytime - on the plane, in the morning before I apply my makeup, at the pool, or in the evening. I always keep these refrigerated in the summer for an extra cooling effect. If you are feeling sleepy this will instantly these will instantly refresh your eye area and wake up your eyes. You just keep the eye gels on for 10 minutes to de-puff your eyes and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

For lounging at the pool. I prefer to use organic Ilike Tomato Suntan Gel (has been discontinued) as a secondary option for protecting against damaging rays. This doesn't block sun entirely, so I still like to use an SPF 30 sunscreen for my face.

Colorescience Sunforgettable Mineral Sunscreen Brush SPF 50 ($57) keeps my face from looking oily and shiny while protecting my skin, since the rays are strong in the morning and evening when traveling to and from market.

When it's super hot, my eyeliner starts to run as quickly as I put it on, so Simple Eye Make-Up Remover Pads ($5.99) come in handy for cleaning up my eye area without causing irritation.

Usually if you see me at market I will be sucking up the pain standing around and walking the showroom in 5 inch heels for most of the day instead of feeling short and comfy in flats. I try to apply Topricin Foot Pain Relief Cream before I put on my heels in the morning and when I finally get to take them off at the end of the day. It's hard for me to tell how well this really works, since no matter what I'm going to feel pain from wearing heels all day. But I'd like to think this helps to decrease some of the pain. 

Also to alleviate some of the pain from wearing heels, I began wearing Superfeet me High Heel 3/4 ($29.95) insoles. The heel cup and foam of the insole adds cushioning and support, and actually keeps my feet from sliding out of my shoes. Many insoles I use have an adhesive backing, and I like that this one doesn't, so you can easily switch them out of different shoes. Also there's no need to cut these down to size.

I am constantly charging my phone while it's in use, so once my phone case chargers run out I need something to juice it up pretty quickly. The Moshi IonBank 10K is great for on-the-go portable charging, with hideaway lightning and USB cables. With 10,300 mAh, that's enough power to recharge an iPhone 6S up to four times.

Malouf's new Zoned Dough Lavender travel pillow made its debut at Las Vegas Market. This is my new favorite as far as travel pillows go, since the dough shape is easiest for me to travel with. I can store it in my tote and just throw it around my neck as I'm getting on the plane. The Dough memory foam is infused with real lavender oil, has pin-core ventilation, and is super soft with a tencel mesh cover. I had a red eye flight on the way back from market and I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have this pillow! The lavender scent definitely helped me relax and fall asleep.

Maybelline 2016 Summer Favorites and Looks

A few months ago I got a sneak peek at Maybelline's summer looks, with their latest launches for 2016. The looks include how to contour to perfection, rocking pops of purple, making brows happen, glowing with dreamy skin, and bold lip beauty.

I'm a huge Maybelline fan, and there's no reason why you have to spend a fortune on your makeup products all the time. Here's a look at some of my favorites!

- Eyestudio Brow Drama Pomade Crayon: perfect for filling in & sculpting brows, while keeping hairs in place.

- Eyestudio Master Precise Skinny Gel Pencil: easily glides on and stays on. Glides on smoothly along upper lash line.

- Lash Sensational Mascara - adds volume and length. Goes on evenly without clumping.

- The Rock Nudes Palette: great shades and pigmentation.

- Vivid Matte Liquid Color: love the bold colors, like Fuchsia Ecstasy (25), and Orange Shot (30) and Berry Boost (40) and nudes - Nude Thrill (5) and Nude Flush (10).

Samsung 837 Celebrates the 2016 Olympics with Lolo Jones at “Rio Remotely" Event

On Friday, August 5th, guests celebrated the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games at Samsung 837. World champion and Olympic athlete, Lolo Jones, and TV host Alicia Quarles discussed all things technology and what it's really like to represent your country in the world's largest sporting event.

· Lolo Jones on how Samsung Gear VR can enhance an athlete’s performance: “Athletes use visualization to improve their performance. It's actually proven that by visualizing, you can improve your skills. When I put on the Samsung Gear VR, I noticed instantly how much this could be used as a training tactic. With Gear VR, athletes don't have to visualize, they can just be there in the moment. I can really see this being used for Olympic teams moving forward.”

· Lolo Jones on how it feels to finally watch the Olympics from home: “If I’m going to watch the Olympics from home, I want to be surrounded by people – and it’s great to be here with New Yorkers who have so much pride for team USA.”

· Lolo on the best Olympic advice she ever received: “One of my coach's favorite sayings is control what you can control. For instance, I can't control my training, but I can control my thoughts about it. I can control my actions, whether I choose to focus on my technique or the weather. I always remind myself to take a deep breath and control what I can control.”

Staying true to its goal of using technology to enhance and amplify what we do on a daily basis – like watch sporting events – Samsung provided guests with a next level Olympics viewing experience, which included testing the newly installed Samsung Gear VR powered 4D Surf Installation (in honor of this being a new Olympic sport in 2020), traveling to the Olympic City through a virtual VR experience that showcased behind-the-scenes clips and Rio-inspired eats and drinks.

Samsung is providing the first ever virtual reality coverage of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and this content is exclusively available to Samsung Galaxy smartphone users on Samsung Gear VR.

Throughout the duration of the Olympic Games, Samsung 837 guests will be able to experience the excitement of Rio like nowhere else. Watch Olympic events from Rio on the three-story screen, view exclusive sports content in virtual reality and enjoy internationally-inspired bites and refreshments. Go to Samsung.com/837 to get the latest viewing schedule.
