Beauty Products For the Warm Summer Ahead!

Hot weather does such weird things to my skin. It has been so humid in Kansas City that when I walk outside, I sweat (gross, I know) and it makes my skin oily. But exposure to the sun, even with SPF, can also leave my skin dry. So my skin needs a lot of tlc in the summer!

I was sent the following products for my hones review, and I’m glad I was because I really need them!

Eraclea Intensive Repair and Protect Serum/Vitamin C

Eraclea Daily Bamboo Exfoliant

Eraclea Pure Hydration Serum/Zinc

Eraclea products contain a new, proprietary ingredient, scientifically designed to maintain the hydration that helps retain the youthful appearance of the skin. This efficacious ingredient is the result of a half-century of research. Its earlier forms were successfully used in medical and cosmetic applications. A carefully crafted combination of hyaluronic acid sponges and hyaluronic acids of various molecular weights, called the HylaSponge®System, is the key to the Eraclea hydrating properties. Each Eraclea product features the HylaSponge®System in combination with select antioxidants, vitamins, peptides and botanicals, all chosen for their functionality within the formulations.

Pure Hydration Serum/Zinc ($80) — Perfect for stressed, irritated skin, this moisture-intensive serum draws on the anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of zinc to promote healing while reducing redness. The serum delivers pure hydration to rejuvenate and replenish the skin. For optimal results, use after Intensive Repair and Protect Serum/Vitamin C.
Daily Bamboo Exfoliant ($40) This daily exfoliating micro-scrub removes impurities, oil, makeup and dead skin cells leaving the skin clean and fresh with a more youthful glow. It helps increase skin cell turnover rate and resurfaces the skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, pores, age spots, discolorations and acne scars.
Intensive Repair and Protect Serum/Vitamin C ($75) — After a long day in the sun, it’s important to remember that skin needs replenishing. It works to protect against cell damage, accelerate cell renewal and improve texture.

What I think: Loving this line! The exfoliating cleanser works really well on my sensitive skin. It doesn’t irritate it at all, but it does remove dry, dead skin. Both serums are really making my skin look younger: Pure Hydration Serum/Zinc calms my red skin down in the morning and I use the Intensive Repair and Protect Serum/Vitamin C at night to repair my skin — it glows in the morning!

Burt’s Bees Brightening Daily Facial Cleanser

Burt’s Bees Brightening Eye Treatment

A natural breakthrough in skin brightening that boasts dramatic clinical results after just four weeks. Burt’s Bees Brightening regimen is a daily arsenal of five formulas dermatologist-tested and clinically-proven to visibly brighten skin, diminish the appearance of dark spots and discoloration and even skin tone, while improving skin hydration and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

· Burt’s Bees® Brightening Eye Treatment (.5oz $19.99)

· Burt’s Bees® Brightening Even-Tone Moisturizing Cream (6 oz. $19.99)

What I think: I have been testing the cleanser and eye treatment. The cleanser is gentle, but effectively removes my makeup in the evening and leaves my skin clean, but not dry. I also love the citrus scent. The eye treatment does seem to brighten up the dark circles. I will use a little longer and let you know if I see a noticeable difference in a month or so!

Where to buy: At leading drug, grocery and mass retailers or at www.burtsbees.com.

Korres Pomegranate Balancing Cream-Gel Moisturizer ($32 USD) — This pore-minimizing and mattifying moisturizer delivers immediate and lasting hydration while simultaneously balancing oily to combination complexions. The unique lightweight cream-gel texture is formulated with a blend of 15% pomegranate water, pomegranate extract, alpine willowherb, and contains tannins and polyphenols. These ingredients help reduce the appearance of pores and rejuvenate the look of skin while providing a matte finish. Hyaluronic and salicylic acids combine to offer an immediate moisture boost while conditioning skin for an overall smooth appearance.

What I think: Light moisturizers are so perfect in the summer! I love that this is a natural product. I like to use it at night over serum, but I also apply it sometimes in the morning with an SPF over it. I love the fresh scent and how it instantly absorbs into my skin.

Korres Natural Products may be purchased at Sephora.com

What skincare are you using as summer approaches?

Bath and Body Products To Keep You Fresh This Summer!

Did you have a great Memorial Day weekend? I did! Even though it rained a lot, I got to enjoy some sun. So I’ve decided to review some of the summer products that I have been loving.

Below are reviews of sunscreen, moisturizers and a natural deodorant. These products are perfect for this time of year.

I hope you enjoy these reviews and maybe find a great summer product you’ll love!

L’Occitane Jenipapo Body Jelly Milk ($30 USD) — With a light jelly cream texture and SPF 20, this protective body milk enriched with vegetal ingredients helps prevent sunburns while moisturizing the skin with a non-greasy protective film. Containing a jenipapo extract from the Cerrado region of Brazil, this body jelly milk leaves skin delicately fragranced with a green, fruity floral scent.

What I think: This is such a great, fragranced lotion that is so light for every day use. I love to put this on in the morning knowing that I have sun protection and great moisturization in one step. And it smells fantastic!

Available at www.usa.loccitane.com.

Korres Body Butter in White Grape ($29 USD) — This soothing body cream will transport you and your sense to the Greek island of Santorini. Smoothing and moisturizing body cream, ideal for dry elbows, heels and knees. Shea butter and Quince extract have softening, moisturizing and restructuring properties. Sunflower, Almond and Avocado oils nourishes the skin, thus restoring its elasticity and smoothness. The body butter offers a distinct, naturally sweet aroma, influenced by the volcanic soil and the sea air. Also, the scent has notes of green apple, floral, citrus and peach for the ultimate Greek Summer sensorial experience!

What I think: This is a perfect after-sun lotion. It is thick, but not greasy at all. Plus it really soothes skin after being out in the sun. It has a rich, fresh scent. Love!

Where to Purchase: HSN.com

Lavanila Laboratories The Healthy Body Butter in Fresh Vanilla Lemon ($19 USD) — Fresh Vanilla Lemon: The Bright and Clean Scent. A refreshing blend of juicy lemon, watery fruits and pure vanilla softly scents skin. Instant Hydration. This super soft, all-natural body butter absorbs instantly for deeply hydrated, luxuriously soft skin. 100% pure Shea & Cocoa Butters blend with powerful antioxidants and essential oils for long-lasting hydration. With super soft scents and a non-greasy formula, prepare for the ultimate indulgence.

What I think: I love the scent of lemon, and this is so good! It has the bright lemon scent with warm vanilla notes. And it is really moisturizing. I love to keep this one at work, because the fresh scent doesn’t offend anyone.

Purchase at www.lavanila.com

Schmidt’s Deodorant ($9 USD) –By eliminating underarm odor and wetness without the use of harmful chemicals, Schmidt’s offers a no-guilt alternative to conventional brands. Free of aluminum, propylene glycol, parabens & phthalates.

What I think: I like this deodorant, it works so much better for me than I thought it might. I usually need the heavy-duty clinical strength deodorant. This keeps me dry, which is amazing, but my natural odor does start to mingle with the deodorant after a few hours. Which isn’t bad, but I don’t like to smell at all. I can see using this on the weekends when I want to take a break from the clinical deodorant.

It’s just about summertime! Today it was over 80 degrees in Kansas City. Which is awesome and has me thinking of easy, bright looks for the season.

I was sent the following products for my honest review. I have found some great summer makeup and I hope you will get ideas from these awesome picks!

The highly pigmented formula builds and blends flawlessly for professional makeup artist result and lasts all day. The concealer was formulated with honey, vitamin E and fruit acid to nourish and smooth skin, and comes in 12 shades, so you can find your perfect match.

What I think: This cream concealer is perfect for summer as it really does last all day. A little goes a long way (this is comparable to IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye). It is very creamy and blends in well, while keeping skin soft all day. It is full-coverage.

Lipstick Queen Oxymoron in Open Secret ($24 USD) — In a beautifully bright and romantically rosy hue, Open Secret bestows lips and cheeks with a bloom of fresh, flattering and ultra-wearable peony.

What I think: I don’t know how to apply theatre makeup, but I have to say I love this powder! I have it in gold, and mixed with the liquid it makes an extremely long lasting shadow. Perfect for hot summer days. I think it will also be fun to use for Halloween or the holidays to make festive looks. Easy to mix and apply.

Ready To Tan? — Do It Safely With Self-Tanner, and Protect Your Skin With SPF

I am a huge advocate of using sunscreen all year round, but especially during the warm seasons when I go outside more than usual.

But, I also love not being pasty white in the summer! So I have not only intensified my sunscreen efforts, I have began self-tanning. I never get super dark, but I do like a bit of a glow.

Below are products to help get ready for the sun — and to help you look like you’ve been soaking up the rays!

Fake Bake Fair ($25.95 USD) — As summer approaches. Fake Bake’s Fair is Fake Bake’s build-your-own self-tanner that is as easy to apply as any moisturizer and smells amazing! There is no better way to give your skin a light, golden, natural glow! Fair is wonderful on even the palest of skin tones and builds gradually so the effect is easy to control. It also has Fake Bake’s signature guide color so you can see exactly where it¹s going as you apply it.

What I think: If you want to get a gradual, natural looking tan, this product is for you! I love the guide color, it makes it easy to see where you have and have not applied the products yet. And it smells nice, which is important if you decide to apply it every day.

Fair is available at leading salons nationwide.

Vita Liberata pHenomenal 2-3 Week Self Tan Mousse – Dark ($54 USD) — This must-have Tan Lotion gives instant, flawless color and develops into the longest lasting, ultrahydrating tan. It is formulated with revolutionary pHenO2 technology to guarantee the longest lasting tan in the world (up to four times longer than regular tans) with a completely perfect, natural fade. The lotion formula is packed with organic botanicals and is so moisturizing, it can be used on the face as well as the body. It contains unique Moisture Lock™ technology for silky-soft and super hydrated skin that lasts for 72 hours. Odour Remove™ promises zero smell for the most natural tanning experience.

What I think — This comes in Fair, Medium, and Dark. I like using the Medium. This is very easy to apply. Just squirt the mousse onto a tanning mitt or gloves, and rub in. Really fast! It does last longer than a long time without fading, which I love. It smells pretty good, but there is a faint smell to it.

Available at http://www.vitaliberata.com, http://www.sephora.com and http://www.qvc.com.

Jane Iredale Powder-Me ($45.50 USD) — This dry sunscreen can be used on the body, face and scalp for UVB/UVA SPF 30 protection and is water-resistant for up to 40 minutes. Powder-Me SPF contains titanium dioxide and natural clay which is completely free of contaminants and atmospheric pollutants. Available in three shades: Translucent, Tanned, and Golden.

What I think: This sunscreen is easy to apply with the built-in applicator. I have it in the Translucent, which is good to use on the face, body and hair. I think the other two would be fun to try in the summer, especially in cute summer outfits!

Available at Drugstores nationwide and http://www.australiangold.com

Prepare Your Skin For The Warmer Days Ahead — Plus A Hada Labo Tokyo Giveaway!

Sebamed Moisturizing Face Cream ($19.95 USD) — Most creams and lotions have key ingredients that create a protective barrier on the surface of the skin to lock in moisture to maintain a healthy pH balance of 5.5. For optimum moisture, slather on Sebamed Moisturizing Face Cream immediately after cleansing or a hot shower, before the skin cools and your pores begin to close.

What I think: My skin is becoming very sensitive as I age. I love using sensitive skin products that have great anti-aging benefits. This cream is awesome at night as it hydrates as I sleep. I love that it doesn’t irritate my skin at all!
