Wedding Day Beauty Emergencies

Marilyn — Sat, 08 Sep 2012 06:56:56 +0000

Brides published a list of quick fixes for beauty emergencies on your big day. While I can’t say that I’ve ever used a glue gun on a wedding day, my emergency kit does include just about every other item mentioned. The most used and asked-for thing that I carry? Safety pins! I carry black, white and silver in an assortment of sizes.

Bandages, mints, scissors, hair pins and deodorant are essential as well. One of my favorite secret weapons is Band-Aid Friction Block Stick. It has saved many brides and bridesmaids from suffering all day!

I recently discovered a local line of handmade bath products that I love: Petunia Essentials. These products contain natural ingredients such as olive oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, avocado oil, sweet almond oil and cocoa butter.

The product line includes soaps, shower gels, scrubs, bath salts, body spray, body butter (their best-selling product) and more. The fragrances appeal to both women and men: Brown Sugar & Fig, Cedarwood & Amber, Lavender, Apricot Chamomile, Pear & Redwood, Sandalwood, Vanilla & Chamomile, Awapuhi Seaberry, Argyle and Sweet Love.

Petunia Essentials also offers affordable gift sets. I always keep a few such items on hand, especially around the holidays. If someone unexpectedly gives you a present, you’ll be prepared with something lovely!

Weddings By Numbers

I can remember reading Allure in grammar school. My friend’s mom was a hair stylist and had stacks of magazines, and we pored over the glossy pages for hours. I am a long-time subscriber and always enjoy the Beauty by Numbers feature. This month, it’s all about weddings!
