  • Apply all over the face once you have completed your makeup look. This will help create a photo finished look and prevent any black flash from cameras.

Jet Set Beauty Babe

Summer means sunshine, travel, and fun! Traveling itself can take a toll on your body, Team Manna narrowed down their favorite tips and tricks for before, during, and after flying.

Only Take the Essentials

What you take in your carry on is a key factor to a stress free flight. Take items that carry multiple purposes to avoid taking too much.

Team Manna’s carry on beauty essentials include the following-

Dollup Beauty Travel Case, Manna Kadar Day Dream Palette & Brush, Manna Kadar Lip LockedMai Couture Blotting Paper, Emi+Jay Hair Ties, last but definitely not least, the Carry on Cocktail Kit.

First things first, prepping for the flight

The day before your flight is crucial. This is how we prep ourselves for the journey ahead.

Get a Blowout! When your hair is blow dried it is easier to maintain. To tie your hair during your flight use the emi + jay hair ties, they prevent creasing and come in fun styles! No creasing allows you to get off the plane looking like you just got your blowout, no airplane air!

Moisturizing is extremely important. If you’ve been on a plane before, you know that the cabin air can be extremely drying. Moisturize your face and body heavily the night prior to your flight to give as must moisture to your skin possible.

Making time fly, literally! What to do during the flight?

While you are sitting on your flight and anxiously awaiting your arrival, there are a couple of beauty tips & tricks that can help you feel and look beautiful inside and out. If you are planning on getting some shut eye during your flight we recommend wearing a sheet face mask. We LOVE the Red Wine sheet face mask from TonyMoly. Its perfect for flights because you don’t need to rinse your face after use.

Lastly, arrival!

Once the plane lands, there is still a good couple minutes before you can get out of your seat. Use that time to freshen up! Blot the excess oil off your face and add some makeup touch ups with the Day Dream Palette. Lastly apply a coat of your Lip Locked and you are ready to get off the plane looking radiance and ready for your trip!

 

Happy Summer and Safe Travels!

Getting a Sexy Suntan Sans the Sun: Saving Your Skin This Summer with Manna Kadar’s “Bronzed Beauty Self Tanner”

It’s the struggle that has plagued pale princesses for decades.  Achieving that perfect, beautifully bronzed tan leaving the pain and dangerous side effects as a thing of the past! With so many options on the market stating they’re the best, how can we decide which to use? Manna Kadar’s “Bronzed Beauty Self Tanner” has got this one covered.

DSC_0026

This innovative self tanner is the best on the market for many reasons.  Its creative, custom formula features only all-natural ingredients designed to create the best, most natural looking tan.  A few of the many restorative and priming ingredients used in the blend include Aloe Vera, Vitamins A & E, and many more.  Also, a unique feature of this self-tanning lotion is its luxurious, almond scent.  While most DSC_0027self-tanners give off an unpleasant odor in the form of various “scents”, Manna Kadar’s self-tanning lotion does not.  Instead, it’s refreshingly clean-smelling almond scent is pleasing to all, and delightfully subtle.  It is also wonderfully easy to use.  While other tanners require application every day and only show results after weeks, Bronzed Beauty Self Tanner only needs to be used every one to three days, and the results are immediate! It is truly a miracle worker.

Manna Kadar’s Bronzed Beauty Self Tanner is a revolutionary way to achieve beautiful, tanned skin.  With its fast-working pigmentation, fresh smell, and golden color it can’t be beat!

What’s In Manna’s Spring Handbag?

 

DSC_1013

Managing your handbag can get a little crazy -old receipts, gum wrappers, and who knows what else! It’s so easy to toss items in your handbag and forget about them. It seems like there are always excessive items in our handbags that we rarely need. After testing out several products, and looking for the most beneficial and multi-functional treasures, Manna managed to narrow this chaotic crisis down to a few of her favorite handbag essentials for this season.

Turn your Dreams to a Reality

DSC_0087

The Manna Kadar Cosmetics Day-Dream Palette is lightweight, and filled with useful products to keep your makeup on point. It is a great palette for touch ups that transform your look from day to night. This palette is the perfect handbag essential, it’s great because it contains 6 eye shadows, blush, two highlighters, and a bronzer.

Staying Shine Free

Blotting Paper is an important essential -especially in these warm seasons when our skin tends to produce more oil. Mai Couture’s Vitamin C + E Revitalize Oil Blotting Papier is infused with Vitamin C and E to keep your skin energized, moisturized, and nourished.

Rock Your Heels All Day Long

DSC_0108

Being on the go and pregnant, Manna is highly likely to develop foot pain. That’s where Sole Serum comes in handy. If you wear heels all day or are constantly on your feet, Sole Serum helps with instant relief. It is also a great gift for your bridal party before the big day!

A Little TLC

DSC_0104

Changes in weather, and a busy lifestyle, take a toll on your body. Give it a little TLC with Glossier’s multi-purpose balm dotcome. This is a “universal skin salve” that you can use on your lips, cuticles, elbows, and everywhere else.

Don’t Get “Hangry”

DSC_0096

It is extremely common to get angry when you are hungry, also known as “Hangry”. Since hunger can strike at the worst time, it’s always great to carry a snack with you. This Bar Saves Lives, satisfies your hunger, and every bar purchased the company will give a packet of food to a child in need.

Every Day is a Great Hair Day

DSC_0101.jpg

If you are feeling like you’re about to have a bad hair day, do not worry! Keep a handful of bobby pins, and hair ties in your handbag for that quick fix. Since bobby pins and hair ties tend to get lost easily, a useful tip -keep your hair ties and bobby pins in a small change clutch and leave that in your handbag.

Emi + Jay have adorable hair ties that won’t leave a dent it your hair. The vibrant colors and fun patterns can be used as arm candy while they aren’t in your hair.

Keep your Lip Color on Lock-down

DSC_0114

Last but definitely not least, the MKC Lip Locked collection is the perfect lip product to keep with you at all times. Lip Locked contains a built in primer and stain for highly pigmented color which also leaves a gloss like appearance for the perfect shine.

Manna Kadar’s Exclusive Look from her Orange Coast Magazine Feature!

Recently, we’ve heard a lot of buzz about how Manna Kadar, the CEO/Founder of Manna Kadar Cosmetics, is still creating products to achieve that perfect look, even in her final trimester of pregnancy.fit=350[1]

Read the exclusive feature on how Manna balances business, beauty, and her baby bump in Orange Coast Magazine. Get the behind the scenes scoop on the photo shoot, along with secrets to balancing it all.

In the feature, Manna talks about her philosophy behind Manna Kadar Cosmetics. Her goal is to keep beauty simplified with the latest beauty innovations that give women the ability to create their full face of makeup in seven minutes or less. Based on her philosophy her makeup look for this photo shoot was created in seven minutes, using her 3-step system.

Step 1-Prime

Runway Ready Primer was used to prep her face. This face primer gives a matte, silky smooth finish to keep makeup in place all day long. After applying Runway Ready, Lash Primer was used to give extra length and volume to her lashes. This is the perfect primer to enhance and allow your mascara to grip on your lashes for long-lasting wear.

Step 2-Polish

Polish time! Using just a few key products from her line, she was able to achieve that camera ready look. We started with Dual Powder to create an even skin tone and a flawless finish. By applying the powder with a damp sponge, you get more of a full coverage look.

Step 3-Perfectfit=350[3]

Moving onto her eyes, a smokey eye was created using a variety of shadows from the Day-Dream Palette. This palette contains six eye shadows that compliment each other extremely well for that perfect smokey eye look. Continuing to use the Day-Dream Palette, the blush was used to give Manna a perfect pinch of pink.

Lastly, our final step to complete this seven-minute makeup look: the finishing touches! Adding the Extreme Curl Mascara on her lashes took the smokey eye look to an eye popping level -thank you Lash Primer! Manna then applied her Lip Locked 3-in-1 Primer, Stain, and Gloss in her favorite shade, Lucky.

And voila, ready for the camera!

DSC_0578We took a majority of the pictures in Manna’s office as the natural sunlight always gives great lighting for photography. Several products that were used in her makeup look were also used as props during the shoot. The photographer was so excited to work with Manna, the pictures were coming out so great that nobody wanted the photo shoot to end!

Finally, the issue was released. Manna and her team couldn’t wait to get their hands on a copy! To see the final images and the complete makeup look check out the Orange Coast Magazine by clicking here!

Team Manna Celebrates National Donut Day While Maintaining the Perfect Pout!

It’s not everyday that we can eat donuts guilt free, since it’s a national holiday we couldn’t turn them down! National Donut Day is on a Friday this year, bringing donuts to the office is the perfect conclusion to the work week.

For this special day we conducted a little experiment. How does Team Manna keep their makeup on point while eating donuts?

DSC_0405

Lip products usually end up on your food when you’re trying to eat. Which means you would be consuming that lip product. This is where the benefits of a primer and stain come into place! Our Manna Kadar Cosmetics Lip Locked is a 3-in-1 primer, stain, and gloss. To prevent the consumption of your lip product, the Lip Locked built in primer and stain will keep the color on your lips without the mess while the gloss locks in moisture.

It’s also a great idea to apply a setting spray after applying your makeup so it says in place all day, no matter how many donuts you might eat! If you don’t have a setting spray you can easily use hairspray. Tested by Team Manna, hairspray has a better consistency to hold onto the makeup. Most setting sprays seem to be diluted with water, that’s why we choose hairspray. Just make sure when applying the hairspray to your face that you keep it at a distance and close your eyes and mouth!

Now back to donuts! Team Manna enjoyed signature creations donuts from Poqet Donuts in Irvine, California. A cute boutique donut shop located near our office. Our teams favorite flavor was the Cherry Red Velvet! Manna Kadar has been on a Apply Fritter craze since her pregnancy begun, so she really enjoyed the Apple Pie Donut!

We hope you are all enjoying your Friday & National Donut Day! Be sure to celebrate and grab some donuts for your team! #NationalDonutDay

 

Vacation Essentials & Makeup Tips

Vacation season has officially begun! School is almost out and we’re ready to take on new adventures. Whether you’re going somewhere hot, cold, or staying home, we have the perfect list of essentials, and makeup tips!

Traveling somewhere, hot hot hot? 

12530694_633623833456174_1372436061_n(1)

Makeup: When traveling to a tropical, warm climate we try to limit the use of makeup. Sometimes its tricky to wear makeup when you are spending the day in the water and sun. Using an oil free BB Cream or Tinted Moisturizer with SPF is a great touch to even our your skin tone. Add some waterproof mascara and a lip stain to complete this minimal makeup look.

Purse (Or Beach Bag!) Essentials: Always keep a water bottle on hand, staying hydrated is important since you will most likely be outside for the majority of the day. We also recommend bringing sunscreen for touch ups, chap stick to prevent dry lips, and blotting paper to remove any access face oils.

Traveling somewhere on the cooler side? 

DSC_0846

Makeup: Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! The dry cold air can leave your skin looking dull. Keep it glowing with a self-tanner or a shimmer lotion, like the Manna Kadar Sheer Glo. Top off the look with a liquid eye liner, mascara, and a tinted chap stick.

Purse Essentials: Our top necessities for cold weather are, travel sized lotion, chap stick, a scarf. Sunglasses are also of high importance. Just because you can’t see the sun, it doesn’t mean the UV rays aren’t there.

No travel plans this Spring? 

Let’s be honest, not all of us can go on a awesome getaway this season. Who says you can’t explore your own city? Check out your local tourist hot spots and learn more about where you live. You can visit local farmers markets, city attractions, national parks, and so on. Our top pick is to spend the day with friends or a loved one at the park, picnic included.

Makeup: A fun Spring look for some local exploring calls for blush! Wear your favorite foundation and apply a fun pop of color, we love the Manna Kadar Blush in Tropicana. It is a great vibrant color with a tint of shimmer. The more your apply the deeper the color! Lastly apply your finishing touches with mascara and a nude lip, so it doesn’t take away from the blush.

Purse Essentials: Depending on what your plans are, we keep a water bottle, granola bar, and blush for touch ups in our bag. When we spend the day at the park we always bring some of the latest magazines, especially ones that include fun quizzes. Don’t forget to pack your picnic basket!
