Mani Monday: Why I Love this Taupe Nail Color

Happy Monday Glow Girls! Essie launched the prettiest taupe nail polish  as part of their 2017 Fall collection. This perfect new neutral goes on opaque and does not streak like many of the latte or white shades do. I found it to be very chip resistant too! If you can't find it at your favorite nail salon, just buy and bring!

This sophisticated shade looks super clean, works with any outfit and can be your go-to color for all seasons!

Introducing RoseGlow Drops that Nourish Your Skin

I am so excited to announce the launch of my first co-branded beauty product,
Olie X Melissa Meyers RoseGlow Drops Daily Radiance Face Oil.

My obsession with face oils started over six years ago when Olie Biologique sent me samples of their luxurious facial oils for editorial consideration. At that time, face oils were just starting to gain popularity. I have been using the Olie oils religiously over the years and decided to connect directly with the Founder Linda Thompson to see if she would be interested in a product collaboration. We met for a long brainstorming lunch in Beverly Hills, and the rest is history!

Linda and I were testing and mixing samples for months until we came up with the exact formulation and scent.  The RoseGlow drops contain an antioxidant-rich blend of organic fruit seed and plant botanicals including rosehip, sea buckthorn, pomegranate, raspberry, camellia, pumpkin and carrot seed oils, all of which promote radiance and texture. They enhance hydration, brighten the skin and reduce inflammation. The fragrance is subtle but quite intoxicating!

We were SOLD OUT that night! :)

Linda and I agreed that it was important to produce something we could both feel proud to distribute. We were sure to incorporate our shared value of purity and came up with the idea to develop a fruit and plant botanical "smoothie" for the face. We both cherished the ability to give back so with every bottle sold, five dollars will go towards Project Angel Food to provide a week’s worth of fresh produce to those battling serious illnesses. 

The natural ingredients of RoseGlow drops include an essential oil blend of of ylang-ylang, frankincense and palmarosa for a wonderful mood boost! The formula works for all skin types and is the perfect product for dry skin due to its incredible deep-moisturizing properties. This magnificent face oil is paraben-free with zero synthetics, toxins or chemical irritants.

Beautiful glowing skin is something that so many women try to obtain. As a self-proclaimed beauty junkie, I've always had dreams of creating a luxury beauty product that was safe, effective and nourishing to the skin. You will find that every natural and organic ingredient in this revolutionary blend has a purpose, all coming together to enhance your glow!  xxMelissa

Best of The Glow Girl 2017

Dear Friends, 

I can’t believe how much has happened during 2017. I feel grateful to have been able to create a career from my passion to empower women to be the best version of themselves. This year, I rebranded my blog The Glow Girl with the purpose of sharing beauty, style and wellness secrets, and to maintain a youthful glow from the inside out! I've enjoyed testing and curating an array of products and services and then reporting on the best ones to help you make the most informed shopping decisions.

I have connected with so many impressive women and enjoyed working on projects such as facebook live segments, photo shoots, hosting trunk shows, interviewing celebrities, and becoming a brand ambassador for Swiss skincare line Instytutum with my blogging partner, Janet Gunn of The Grateful Gardenia. If you have not checked out her blog yet, you are in for a real inspirational treat! 

I am also proud of my two co-branded product launches this year—the Glow necklaces with LOOMA fine jewelry and a new organic face oil, Olie X Melissa Meyers Rose Glow drops, in partnership with Project Angel Food. I've hosted several special events in LA this year including one for Delgatto, the largest buyers of fine jewelry in the US, where I am also a brand ambassador. All of these accomplishments would not have been possible without your support. On a more personal note, 2017 has not been the best of years for me. My heart feels very heavy due to the recent loss of my beautiful mother who was my role model in life and my biggest cheerleader. 

I thank you for joining in my adventures with me - my job would not be possible without you! Below are a few favorite highlights from the year. Please check them out and take advantage of some of my special promotional codes.
