A BETTER BLEND
Atlantan Carol Martin, a former model turned plastic surgery consultant, has created a tool to help women avoid makeup mishaps. BlendSMART is an automated rotating makeup brush system that allows women to apply makeup and other products quickly and evenly. Rotating brush heads spin 360 degrees and are interchangeable for moisturizer, sunscreen or foundation. The starter set costs $69 and comes with a foundation brush head. Additional brush heads cost $29. Get the brush online at Blendsmart.com or locally at Woo Skincare + Cosmetics, 2339-A Peachtree Road, Atlanta, or 3509 Northside Parkway N.W., Atlanta.
THE DAMAGE IS DONE
Stop hair damage with a new product collection from eSalon, the makers of custom hair color solutions. Gaining Strength Shampoo and At Full Strength Conditioner ($15 each) include proteins and coconut oil to help re-energize dull strands. The shampoo is sulfate-free, and both products are safe for color-treated hair. Add Joining Forces ($14) to smooth split ends, reduce breakage and give troubled strands a needed boost. The collection is available now at eSalon.com.
