In the world of beauty and fashion, Labor Day marks the end of Summer. With the Labor Day beauty essentials we’ve rounded up for you, you’ll be able to make the most of Summer beauty while you still can.
Hair
We’re all about turning down the heat and rocking your natural texture for one last day of Summer fun, but that doesn’t mean you have to let all that chlorine, salt, and sun damage show. Use Recovery Hair Masque before your Labor Day festivities so your hair looks effortlessly moist and hydrated despite everything you’ve put it through. If you’re beach bound or going to be out in the sun, bring some Essential Hydration Hair Serum with you in your bag for a mid-day boost.
Makeup
Labor Day plans have a tendency to start early and end late. No one wants the Summer fun to stop! For an effortless and light Summer look that transitions from day to night with ease, use Allure Shine Lip Gloss in “Peach Sheen.”
Skin
Hydrate your skin and protect it from the sun with Pearl SPF Day Cream. Embrace Summer glow by mixing in a touch of bronzer on the back of your hand before you apply.
Scent
Pick a perfume that says Summer. Ideally it should be light with a floral or fruity undertone.
Nails
If you’ve got a mani and pedi booked before Labor Day, go for the bright colors. You might be tempted to make an early switch to Fall plums and other dark or neutral hues, but come Winter you’ll be glad you got an extra two weeks of Summer nails.

Especially as the seasons change and we move from Summer to Fall, you might be tempted to change up your skincare regimen. Maybe there are some new products you’re dying to add into the mix with the ones you already use, or maybe you’re ready to transition to something a little heavier as the air becomes cooler and dryer. Especially when it comes to products you use on your face, always proceed with care.
When using a new product, start slow. Rather than applying it on your face the first time you try it, do a spot test on the delicate skin of your inner wrist to see how it reacts. A little redness on your wrist is easier to conceal than a red face! After that, use it only a couple times a week to let your skin acclimate before you start using it daily. Your skin has gotten used to certain products with certain ingredients, so a sudden switch can make it sensitive and trigger a reaction.
Rather than adding many new products to your skincare regimen at once, it’s usually best to add one at a time. One new product alone can shock your skin a bit, so too many new products all at once can cause extra sensitivity and dryness. Plus, if your skin has a reaction, how will you know which product caused it?
If you’re using a lot of products, you also need to be aware of the different ingredients and how they react with one another. Some ingredients may neutralize each other so you don’t get to enjoy any of the benefits, and other ingredients may even have a negative reaction when mixed together. Brilliance New York makes it easy for you with different skincare collections that are designed not only to work together but even to enhance one another.
Did you know that certain age-defying ingredients like retinol can be harsh on your skin? Brilliance New York skincare boasts retinyl palmitate, which gently turns into retinol only after being absorbed into the skin. Brilliance New York products are safe for all skin types, including for sensitive skin. Your transition to new products should be indulging and stress-free, with nothing less than radiant results.
It’s hard to believe that Summer’s coming to an end. But now that the little ones are heading back to school, you’re back on duty as their personal style consultant. For better or worse, the importance of beauty starts young. It’s perfectly understandable that you want them to make the best possible impression on their teachers, classmates, and that one snarky mom who always looked at you funny last year. But should you go as far as using a flat iron or curling iron on your child’s hair? Ultimately the decision is up to you, Mom and Dad, but we want to help you to make the best decision.
Problem #1: Children’s hair is extremely fine. Even kids with “coarse” hair have much finer hair than most adults. Their hair is far more susceptible to damage and can easily be burned by heat styling. You can infuse damaged hair with moisture and nutrients to give it a nicer appearance by using Recovery Masque, but it’s impossible to reverse the damage.
Problem #2: Some kids have trouble sitting still. They’re kids! The last thing you want to do is cause them physical pain when the dog barks and they turn to look at it and braise their cheek against the hot end.
Resolution: The younger your little one is, the more you should try to avoid styling with heat. If you do use a flat iron or curling iron on their hair, start with a very low heat setting and don’t make multiple passes over the same hair. Choose a high-quality flat iron with diamond-infused plates to evenly distribute heat and reduce damage. The cool tip may also help reduce accidents. But no heat styling tool is fool-proof or damage-free; always exercise extra caution when working with children.
