So, how did I come up with a “beautastic” horoscope for each sign? Well, I looked into my big blue crystal ball and abracadabra! Poof! Well, the truth is that I don’t really have any of that fortune telling crap, but I took a general quality of each horoscope sign and interpreted a fun product that will suit your beauty needs. These are my predictions for you to try something new and exciting!
Capricorn - Practical
As a sensible person, you would love to have a beauty routine that’s easy to follow. Dual purpose products are your best friend! Try my favorite all purpose makeup stick, NARS The Multiple ($36.50) in St. Bart’s. Swipe this bronzy taupe shade on eyes, lips, cheeks, and body for a quick color boost that’s practically fool-proof.
Aquarius - Friendly
You should get chummy with the environment so a makeup item that benefits the earth will be a perfect complement for you. Cargo’s new PlantLove Botanical Lipstick ($20) is an environmentally friendly innovation. The lipstick tube is made out of corn, and the outer packaging is made of flower paper with real flower seeds that you can plant and grow. Then you will have gorgeous lips and a bouquet of flowers that you can give to an amigo!
Pisces - Imaginative
Picture yourself on a tropical island somewhere… maybe the Greek islands of Mykonos. There are no kids to take care of and a lovely cabana boy brings you fruity drinks and rubs lotion into your sun-kissed shoulders. Now wait! Don’t forget the sunscreen! Even the sun in your mind might cause premature aging, so it’s best to be careful and grab the Korres Suncare Set ($28.50). This natural Greek skincare company includes their Watermelon Sunscreen Face Cream SPF 30, Yogurt Cooling Gel, and Pomegranate Balancing Moisturizer all in a handy dandy travel case.
Aries - Energetic
You are on the go, and on the move. No time to stop and think about makeup or skincare! So how about at least taking care of your skin from the inside out and giving you some extra energy to boot? Try Borba, you active girl! This line specializes in vitamin based products to add a little balance to your busy life. Give their Skin Balance Confections Gummi Boosters ($25) a taste. The bag is resealable so you can take it on the go go go! Plus they are filled with a bio-vitamin complex to promote skin clarity with Vitamin C for extra pep!
Taurus - Persistent
Keeping with a consistent skincare routine does pay off. Most new skincare products take at least 6 weeks to make any kind of noticeable difference in the condition of your skin. So I know you Bull gals will try anything for the long haul. Persistence pays off big time. I want you to try exfoliation three times a week to uncover smoother, more supple skin. Bliss Spa makes a great scrub called Pore-Perfecting Facial Polish ($28). Keep it up three times a week and you will be rewarded with smooth, glowing skin.
Gemini - Versatile
There is nothing more adaptable than a compact makeup palette that you can throw in your handbag for touch-ups and travel. Too Faced’s “The Jewelry Box” ($39.50) has everything you could possibly need to create a million different looks. It contains an unbelievable eight eye shadows, six lip glosses, blush, duo bronzer, foundation powder, brow powder, eyeliner cake, and highlighter. Did you catch all that?
Cancer - Emotional
I am sure you have days where you just want to cry in your soup. But to really make your super sensitive self feel better, you really need to shed a few tears and climb into a nice, hot bath. Soak yourself with some of Fresh’s SugarBath Bath Cubes ($32). Each cube contains real brown sugar which throughout history has been known to cure what ails you and speeds healing. Plus, it will make your skin so soft, you ol’ softie!
Leo - Generous
Don’t you just love giving people who give expensive gifts? How about treating yourself this time and splurging on a top-of-the-line curling iron. Waves are back in a big way, and to give your crowning glory some love, try the T3 Twirl! ($200) which has tourmaline infused ceramic plates to lock in fun, lush curls. It comes in four different barrel sizes. Remember, the bigger the barrel, the bigger the curl.
Virgo - Shy
Since you don’t like to draw unnecessary attention to yourself, I won’t recommend a fire-engine red lip color or a sweep of false lashes for you, but instead I am going to share the best nude lip gloss around. Philosophy’s The SuperNatural Lip gloss ($15) in (what else) “Neutral.” It’s a sure bet for you, bashful beauty. Plus it has a minty fresh flavor in case you aren’t feeling shy at all and want to pucker up!
Libra - Diplomatic
You strive for balance in your life and like to weigh all the pros and cons before making a decision about anything. So while you are mulling over the yin and yang of life you should at least smell good! How about LaVanila Laboratories Vanilla Grapefruit Eau de Parfum Spray ($56). It’s the perfect blend of sparking grapefruit and rich Madagascar (not the cartoon movie) vanilla. Plus it’s formulated with vitamins and antioxidants that are actually good for you. A fragrance that gives you more then just a sweet scent? -nothing to debate about that.
Scorpio - Magnetic
People are drawn to you. They love and adore you. They want to be around you. It’s like a moth to a flame! Those around you are so close to you they are right in your face! So you might as well have some fresh smelling breath and pearly white teeth. Brush them twice daily with GoSmile’s Morning Rush and Nighttime Therapy Toothpastes ($16 each), and people will adore being around you.
Sagittarius - Freedom-loving
Being tied down to a routine can be a little confining for you Archer gals. As a fellow Sagittarius myself, I don’t like a lot of rules when it comes to beauty. Rules are meant to be broken I always say. I hate when makeup artists say you HAVE to curl your lashes before you put on mascara. Nowadays there are formulas that will help curl your lashes for you. Lancôme’s Flextencils Full Extension Curving Mascara ($23) will automatically make your lashes extra long and extra curvier. Ah, the freedom to throw out that wretched lash curler!
Disclaimer: I don’t really know anything about Astrology, but as a Beauty Editor I know about Beauty, so take this Horoscope in the form of pure entertainment. If I have completely misread your sign, just pick another to try! Everything can be found at Sephora.com, the greatest beauty store in the universe!
