Product Round-Up — My Favorite Beauty Things This Week!

I have been trying so many great beauty items this week. From nail care to skincare to a fab concealer, these summer products have really helped my beauty routine in the heat.

Probelle Touch N' Grow Plus — Probelle Touch N’ Grow and Touch N’ Grow Plus

Probelle is the innovative, restorative base nail polish that uses a two-step system to cure, grow and repair nails to a healthier state. The Touch N’ Grow original formula cures and strengthens nails while the Touch N’ Grow Plus maintains healthy nails. The Touch N’ Grow Plus incorporates garlic and lime which have been proven to prevent nails from discoloration and bacteria growth caused by prolonged nail polish wear. Probelle also acts as a durable base coat to give that manicured look for less.

What I think: I have been using the Touch N’ Grow Plus for a couple of weeks now. It has helped my peeling nails and they look so much better now. Plus it gives a bit of a shine and looks very nice on.

Available at www.probelle.com.

L’Occitane Angelica Hydra Vital Gel ($38 USD) — An ultra-fresh, lightweight formula gives this moisturizing gel the power to keep skin hydrated & revitalized all day long. Its cooling texture gently soothes skin giving it a more radiant complexion, while prepping it for the day ahead.

What I think: This is the perfect hydrator for the summer! I love it especially at night after a day in the sun. And since it is so light, it works well on oily skin (mine definitely gets oilier in the summer). Plus, the scent is fresh and lovely.

Coast to Coast Skin Illuminating Cleansing Water ($24.99 USD) — This brightening Coast To Coast cleansing water containing Quandong and Sweet Orange, dissolves makeup and impurities from the face and eyes to purify skin cells in preparation for your day or night skincare regime.

Their products are not tested on animals, contain no artificial colors or fragrances, Parabens, Petrochemicals, Paraffin, Pthalates, Propylene Glycol, Mineral Oil, PABA or DEA.

What I think: I have been using this instead of creamier makeup remover in the evening. Not only does it work very well, it is so light and refreshing. I love that it has natural and organic ingredients.

Available at Ulta and Ulta.com.

Miracle Skin Transformer Treat & Conceal ($36 USD) — Covering up blemishes can be quite the production – first a spot treatment and moisturizer, then a primer, followed by a concealer and foundation. No woman wants to layer on the products, especially in the heat. The lightweight, multifunctional concealer, Miracle Skin Transformer Treat & Conceal features powerful hydration, treatment and protection benefits that work to evenly smooth skin and minimize the appearance pores, blemishes, pigmentation spots and fine lines.

What I think: I have this in light and it is perfect for under my eyes, red patches and when I have a blemish. It really covers well and is not dry or overly sticky.

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!
