SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT: DooBop

This SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT is not only a PRTTY PEAUSHUN favorite but also an Oprah favorite - so there's no question how fabulous they are - presenting: DOOBOP!



DOOBOP is the brain child of beauty line creator, Jodie Patterson, and former beauty senior beauty-marketing executive, Benjamin Bernet. The two came together to fill a void in the beauty realm. Just as the world is beautifully diverse - they sought to diversify the beauty world. 



"The plan: to create a chic online shopping destination that mirrored the ethnic diversity spotted daily on the streets of New York City."


DOOBOP wanted to take the struggle out of beauty and did so by going against the cookie cutter one-size/product/color fits all beauty offering. The result? A unique selection of carefully curated beauty products for all ethnicities, skin colors and styles. 

The beauty team behind the scenes at DOOBOP is an impressive lineup of pros. The experts include a hair architect, makeup artists, a nutritionist, hair stylist and dermatologist. But that's not all, DOOBOP also utilizes influencers from all over the world. 


As if their story and approach to beauty didn't win you over (we doubt it) DOOBOP also gives back by donating $1 of every order to the Community of Unity (CofU) who has worked to empower young people to achieve success and fulfillment by awakening in them a unique sense of purpose and potential.

It's not hard to see why Oprah is such a fan. Check out her current favorite DOOBOP product here.

PRTTY PEAUSHUN, a product perfect for all skin types and tones, is thrilled to be offered at an equally diverse and forward-thinking beauty source.

This gift is JUST right - Goldie Blox

This gift is too pink. This gift is too girly. Goldie Blox - now this gift is JUST right! (See what we did there? Couldn't resist!)

Goldie Blox caught our attention at the beginning of the holiday season. This is more than just a toy - we're completely behind the girl power message and the empowering of little girls. Goldie Blox is "engineering toys for future inventors" and we totally dig it!

Despite coming under recent scrutiny for the use of the Beastie Boys "Girls," (which has been removed from the below video) we're sure that Goldie Blox is going to be under many Christmas Trees this season. In fact, our very own Director of Marketing and Promeaushuns may have told Santa to get this for her little girl.


What unique toys have you found this holiday season?

SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT: b-glowing

This Sunday we're spotlighting a PRTTY PARTNER who knows a thing or two about the glow - presenting b-glowing.com!



"We believe that beauty is a life-long journey. It is not a search for perfection, but an individual search for your own authentic expression of beauty. The beauty products that we provide are a means to express your true inner self: strong, smart and beautiful! We’re here to guide women to glow with inner and outer radiance – to showcase their AUTHENTIC BEAUTY."

How does b-glowing achieve this? Many ways, but check out the top 10 reasons you should MAKE BEAUTY with b-glowing.


B-glowing started the same way many of our own beauty obsessions began. As a little girl, Lisa, founder of b-glowing, could always be found digging through her mother's beauty products. Over years, Lisa turned that obsession into a career and created b-glowing in order to share her passion for beauty beyond her circle of friends.

So, what's in a name? B-glowing comes from Lisa's aspirations for the outlet: 
B: “Be the best you can be”, “be you”, “be truthful”, “just be!”. GLOWING: "from reflecting the radiance we all deserve to have inside and out!"

PRTTY PEAUSHUN has been thrilled to be featured among the amazing products at b-glowing.com. They carefully curate their selection by focusing on brands "that operate with an independent spirit." And they believe "there is an honest passion behind these brands which reaches out to the consumer." Those words definitely ring true for PRTTY PEAUSHUN and we love that b-glowing has taken notice.

We aren't the only ones gushing over b-glowing, Instyle Magazine named b-glowing best of the "DIGI" for 2013 in last month's issue.




We could go on and on about why we love b-glowing, but we think you get the idea. B-glowing is also sharing the glow in the latest from their beauty guru vloggers, as they reveal why PRTTY PEAUSHUN should be on your pins this holiday season!

Be Strong and Shine

It's no secret that we strongly support all female hard-workers, entrepreneurs, aspiring leaders and strong women. Unfortunately, as respectful and rewarding as those labels and positions are, they can often be met with negative stigmas and gender-biased stereotypes. 

We are LOVING this Pantene ad discussing just that. Be strong and shine ladies!

TIP TUESDAY: Dodge Dry Skin


Winter is in full swing! Temperatures have dropped, thermostats are rising and a hot shower has never felt better. Unfortunately, our skin doesn't react too kindly to all of the above. Keep your skin in check and crack free with this week's TIP TUESDAY from PRTTY PEAUSHUN creator and celebrity makeup artist Bethany Karlyn!



Already suffering from the dreaded dry skin? Hint - moisturizer is NOT moisture in a bottle. It will seal in moisture, so make sure to apply to damp skin. When it comes to our face, since we have no idea what’s in our tap water, the ideal application would be to mist first with an Evian atomizer, available at beauty supplies.

Right after spritzing or jumping out of the shower, slather on your favorite moisturizer. PRTTY PEAUSHUN in plain is perfect to use in the Winter months under layers and right before bedtime to stay silky smooth as you sleep (a humidifier isn't a bad night time investment also). Because there are no minerals that could transfer color to clothing, don't worry about jumping right into your sheets or clothing.

Skin is still looking lackluster? Dark skin is prone to ashiness so avoid titanium dioxide if possible. If not, look for the ingredient to be low on the list or to be micronized. To counteract, be well moisturized with a mineral-oil free product. For African American skin, a dusting of peach powder will warm you up and rid the ashiness. For Latinas, a banana powder will do the trick.

TIP TUESDAY: Loud Lips

We've talked lips before - luscious lips and lasting lipstick - but the same rules don't apply when it comes to sporting that loud lip. This TIP TUESDAY Bethany explains how to achieve a bold lip with a bit of a different technique - combine with the previous TIP TUESDAYS above and you're sure to have a perfect pout!


Get a hard edge for the fall with a strong lip look. To really carve it, sharpen your pencils gals! Make the most of your lip line by using the side of the pencil tip rather than the dead on point. Rest the side of the pencil in the center of one side of the lip and use a windshield wiper motion to get the tip onto the edge of the lip line. If enlarging the lip, just go to the outer lip edge for the most realistic look. Make any corrections with short sketchy strokes. 

Filling the lip in with pencil before lipstick gives extra staying power. To take that to the next level, powder the lip through a single ply of tissue before lipstick. Want the most budge proof lip, blot the lip with a powder paper folded lengthwise, powder side out, then apply lipstick.

Would you rather have a strong glossy mouth? Apply gloss directly over penciled in lips.

SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT: Lila Mae

This Sunday we're spotlighting an e-tailer who chooses their product selection with a fine tooth comb.



Lila Mae features a variety of products, for himherhome and baby. From tasty treats to household accessories to beauty products, Lila Mae is a prime one-stop-shop, especially as the search for the perfect gifts is underway.

However, this array of products aren't just what's "hot" or picked at random. Lila Mae has two specific criteria when stocking their selection: the product must be made in the USA and the product must be sustainable. Of course, these criteria aren't met at the expense of style.

"Our mission is to empower and inspire you to do your part to grow the economy, protect our environment and embrace your health without sacrificing joy or style." 

So why are these two characteristics focused on at Lila Mae? Their product selection features USA-made sustainable items because they believe in highlighting the vibrant talent that lays within our land while at the same time, protecting that land.

PRTTY PEAUSHUN is proud to meet these two criteria and is thrilled to be among the American-made green products that line the virtual shelves of Lila Mae. Shop PRTTY PEAUSHUN and other amazing goodies online at LilaMae.com or at their popup shop in West Hartford Connecticut (95 Memorial Drive).
