My Beauty Favorites — Week of August 1-7, 2016

It’s been cooling down in Kansas City this week and the weather has been pleasant.  My kids go back to school this week, and I am trying to squeeze the last bits of summer that I can!

This week I am loving a hair removal device, a fresh fragrance oil and a self-tanner with natural ingredients:

Me Chic Compact Permanent Hair Reduction Device ($199.00 USD) — The chic Compact Permanent Hair Reduction Device uses patented technology clinically proven to be safe and effective on all skin tones, even dark, and the widest range of hair colors, even blonde – something no other at-home hair removal technology can claim.

Compact, professional, at-home hair removal technology in the palm of your hand. Small and lightweight, the chic is convenient to use both at home and away – treat targeted areas in just minutes. With dermatologist recommended technology, the chic Compact Permanent Hair Reduction Device uses the only FDA-cleared technology that targets and permanently disables the hair follicle to stop hair growth on small areas, like the face, underarm, or bikini area, for permanent results.

What I think:  This is an easy to use, and fairly affordable, hair removal device.  I haven’t tried it yet, but am hoping to test it soon.  I think it is amazing that it can be used on any skin tone and hair color!

Soap & Paper Factory Green Tea Perfume Oil ($16 USD) — Crafted in small batches, the rollerball Perfume Oils stimulate your mind, body and spirit. Great for personal fragrance, and for maximum benefits use the rollerballs on temples and pressure points such as your crown chakra, bottoms of your feet and solar plexus and when put in the fridge, the stainless steel applicator will revive your senses!! Citrus, Tea Leaves and a hint of Anise will leave you feeling refreshed and happy.

What I think:  Fragrance oils are fun because they last longer in the oil form on the skin.  Just a few swipes of this fresh scent and it last all day.  I love the Green Tea scent, but it also comes in Lavender, Gardenia and Jasmine.

Skinny Tan Pre-Tan Primer ($24.95 USD) –The perfect way to prep your skin before you tan. Remove any dry or dead skin cells with this crushed walnut shell primer. Help achieve a perfect finish to your tan. Note you should always prime a few hours before you tan, not immediately before.

Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner ($29.95 USD) — A beautiful white body butter cream with lower levels of Natural tanning active so you can layer up each day until you reach the perfect depth of tan. Combined with the natural cellulite active Guarana.

What I think:  This natural duo can really produce a nice warm tan.  The primer is the perfect first step, it readies the skin for the tanner.  The gradual tanner is the perfect way to build a smooth, deep tan.
