Before the summer is over (why does this fab
time of year go so quickly?...) I wanted to update you on some new products
that are fabulous and worth your small investment. Since all but one can be
found at you favorite drugstore, it's a win, win to give some a try!
~ St. Ives Cleansing Stick
- I have been using the cactus water & hibiscus stick (the blue one) which
is moisturizing & smells delicious. You wet your face and rub a little on
your cheeks & lather up. Great on all makeup & perfect for packing - no
leaking!!! I bet the TSA wouldn't count it as a liquid for air travel. $7.00. Rating
A+.
~ St. Ives Exfoliate &
Nourish Coconut Oil Scrub - This also smells yummy & is so moisturizing
with the oil base. Very gentle & a little goes a long way. Better than all
scrubs that I've tried. $7.00. Rating A.
~ John Frieda Frizz Ease 6
Effects Serum Original - My hair took a frizzy turn for the worse this summer.
My OGX Moroccan oil serum just wasn't enough (although I still love). This
serum's blend of ingredients never weighs my hair down even if use more (and I
have thin, fine hair!). I like the protection I get from my flat iron which
I've come to use most days now. I read reviews before I purchased and I agree Rating
A+ $9.98.
~ Maybelline's The
Burgundy Bar Eye Shadow Palette - My other favorite palette is The Blushed
Nudes & I knew I would like this one. The 'pinker' more 'burgundy' colors
are actually more neutral than I thought so it has been fun to use & just the
right shimmer. Will be perfect for Fall (Uggh) $9.98. Rating A.
~ TRESemme Compressed
Micro Mist Hairspray - I bought Smooth level 2 hold. I hate hairspray but with
my hair issues this summer I needed some frizz prevention in the form of a
hairspray. It is the finest spray that I have ever tried & not sticky. $4.92.
Rating B+.
~ Physicians Formula Rose
All Day Oil Free Serum - I love serums & this has a fab smell & a
shimmer to it. I like to mix a drop into my foundation. Can be used over
foundation on cheeks for a glow. $12.99. Rating B+.
~ St. Tropez Self Tan Purity
Facial Mist - I love the sun but I use tons of 50+ sunscreen. Eventually my
face loses any color pretty quickly. This is the finest, best smelling
mist. It is very gradual in the tanning
department which is perfect for me. A bit of a splurge ($30.00 ULTA) so I rate
it a B but should last a long time!
