We had milder, rainy days last week, but this week is going to be a scorcher! I have been trying tons of amazing summer products and collections lately and want to review a few of my new favorites!
This week, I have been loving a fresh nail polish collection, sports socks for summer workouts, a luxe soap-on-a-rope, and a natural deodorant:
Sally Hansen The Miracle Gel Royal Splendor Collection ($9.99 USD) — Give your nails the royal treatment! Sally Hansen Miracle Gel will keep your manicure looking majestic with up to 14 days of color and shine. The revolutionary, #1 zero light gel manicure system boasts seven new splendid hues in its “Royal Splendor” collection. The Miracle Gel 2X Volume Top Coat must be used in tandem with the Miracle Gel shades to experience the long-lasting benefits of its no-light curing technology.
The “Royal Splendor” collection features seven new regal shades:
- Plush Blush This powder pink features a Hall Of Mirrors-esque iridescence
- Frill Seeker Stop searching, you’ve arrived at the perfect resplendent, creamy-peach shade
- Regal Rosé Wine and dine — or let them eat cake — in a sparkling pale peony
- Mauve-olous Take the throne in this beige-tinged medium-pink tone
- Off with her Red! Hold court with this vibrant, true red
- Can’t Beet Royalty Bring it to the boudoir in this rich maroon
- Prince Char-mint A refreshingly Versailles-worthy pale verdant hue
What I think: These colors are so interesting. You either have soft pastels or bright reds. They are so pretty on fingers and toes. Top the polish with The Miracle Gel 2X Volume Top Coat and your polish will last much longer!

Le Couvent des Minimes Everyday Deodorant with Alum Stone Eau des Minimes($13.50 USD) — Inspired by the tradition of “Miracle Waters”, beneficial recipes that were once distilled in convents, the Botanical Cologne of the Minimes Everyday Deodorant works to neutralize body odors while allowing skin to breathe.

Featuring Alum Stone to help combat unpleasant odor, essential oils of Blood Orange, Lemon and Mandarin to help refresh and to limit perspiration odors and essential oil of Rosemary to purify.
What I think: This smells amazing — fresh and citrusy. I usually need strong deodorant/antiperspirant, so I used this on a weekend day when I was at home. It really helped the smell for most of the day, but it isn’t and antiperspirant, and I really need one, especially in the summer! This would be perfect for a pre-teen or someone who isn’t very sweaty. I love that it’s natural!
