Last time I checked, cell phones and technologies of the sort are here to make our lives easier. But when every selfie turns into an hour photo shoot, and you have pre-mature arthritis in your right thumb (thanks Instagram), technology seems to be more of a disservice. On the contrary, there are some really cool beauty apps out there destined to make our lives easier, and undoubtedly more beautiful. From at-home stylists to product sampling, these 5 digital beauty services ensure you make the most use of your Smartphone. Better selfies guaranteed.
1. GlamSquad
A glamorous blow out is just a download away with this must-have beauty app. Glam Squad is an on-demand beauty service in NYC that brings the hair and makeup stylists to you wherever you may be, and for just $50. Getting ready just got a whole lot more glamorous.
2. Sephora To Go
Easily browse and buy anywhere, anytime with this all-encompassing to-go app. Sephora lets you manage your beauty insider points, browse product reviews and how-tos, and shop your favourites. It’s the ultimate beauty tool for regular Sephora shoppers.
3. Lifebooker
Lifebooker is a virtual coupling service for all your beauty needs. Genius, right? Because regular blow outs and mani-pedi’s can be expensive, why not save where you can? From massages, to Botox and highlights, Lifebooker scouts the best beauty deals in your area and for up to 50% off. Who says coupons weren’t chic?
4. OPI Try-It-On
Ever wish you knew how 2 coats of ‘X’ colour would look on your skin tone and nail length without having to purchase it first? A personal favourite of mine, OPI is a virtual beauty app that lets you sample swatches of nail lacquer straight from home, or during your commute. The perfect polish is now at your fingertips (literally).
5. Facial Massage
We’ve been talking a lot about facial massages this week at The Strategy, and we’re all about keeping our skin energized and looking its best. From anti-aging, eye, and forehead regimes, there is a massage targeted for your every need using this facial massage app.
