See The Light: Beauty For Real

By Alexis Wolfer

Ever wish you could flawlessly touch-up your lip-gloss without getting up from the table after dinner (and without having to wait in the seemingly endless line for mirror access in the always-too-cramped ladies room)? Well, Beauty For Real’s See The Light glosses make that possible – and oh, so much more.

Designed with a mirror on the side (and we’re not talking about the foggy, barely-there kind) and, get this – an LED light! – you can actually (and accurately) apply the latest lip shades no matter where you are and what the mirror situation or lighting condition may be. But it wasn’t just the high-tech packaging that had us hooked; rather, it was the fabulous formula that had us lusting for all nine shades. Created by top makeup artist Leslie Munsell, See The Light is loaded with plant-derived antioxidants like green tea and grape seed extracts, hydrating essential vitamins like aloe vera and avocado oil, and plumping marine collagen that cools (unlike those fiery plumpers in many other products). And while the packaging and formula were certainly enough to sell us, what put us over the edge was the fact that, in line with The Beauty Bean’s mission, they use real women (not models or celebrities) in their advertising and marketing campaigns – bringing a whole new meaning to Beauty For Real.
