Yes it’s still summer! Are you still looking for fun clothes for the kids? Here are some great sporty clothes from Levis and Nike for your kids to enjoy!
I have 3 girls. For them I love:

Nike 3.5″ Tempo

Zaggora’s NEW 3 Step Solution is a leg shaping regimen designed to maximize the effectiveness of Zaggora’s revolutionary workout wear. It pairs iconic HotPants 2.0 with Zaggora body care staples Svelt Melt and Motion Lotion to help you yield results before, after, and during a workout. By pairing HotPants 2.0 with Zaggora’s new body contouring gel and actively hydrating body sculpting lotion before and after your exercise routine, your legs will get the ultimate boost, feeling even more firm and toned. You’ll be happy with your results when it’s time to put on that sexy little bikini!
What I think: I have been testing this kit (sent to me for my honest opinion). I think that it is a really interesting idea. I first tried the pants without the lotions and went walking with them on. You do sweat a lot in the pants and I could feel them working. Then I tried it with the three step solution:
This seemed to work well, too. I especially liked using the Motion Lotion after my workout (after showering of course). Very refreshing.
I have seen some firming of my hip and thighs using this system while I work out. I am going to keep at it in hoping to firm and lose inches!
Bright is right this spring! At least with makeup. With all of the sad things that have been happening, a little bright color can help perk your mood – and your look – right up!
Cargo ColorStick
Cargo ColorStick ($28 USD) — An oil-free, cream color stick that blends effortlessly to eyes, cheeks and lips, for a natural, monochromatic look. The velvety, ultra-light texture blends flawlessly onto the skin for an “airbrushed” finish. Cheeks appear smooth and flawless. The cream-to-powder formula sets for an exceptionally long-wearing finish and never settles into fine lines. The dial-up stick makes application a breeze. Available in 5 shades. Santorini, Key West and Maui give a natural and pretty color to the cheeks, eyes and lips. St. Tropez offers a sheer bronze glow perfect for giving a soft tan glow or sculpting the cheekbones. Champagne is a warm highlighter that is ideal for highlighting the key areas of the face.
I have been using Santorini which is very bright coral/pink color. I love the creamy formula for my cheeks and lips, but the shade is a bit bright for me. I would definitely try this in a lighter pink or bronze.
L’Oréal Paris Colour Caresse Shine Stain by Colour Riche
L’Oréal Paris Colour Caresse Shine Stain by Colour Riche ($9.99 USD) This lightweight lip stain is designed to deliver long-lasting color with a glossy, high-shine finish (vs. the matte effect that many stains provide). Never heavy and never drying, the weightless formula glides on for a unique lip color experience. Colour Caresse Shine Stain has a moisturizing, water-based formula that leaves lips soft, comfortable and hydrated for up to six hours. It contains a blend of light shine oils and concentrated pigments for clear, luminous color.
I have been testing Stubborn Plum, a violet-pink almost mauve color. It is a bit 80’s for me, but it’s pretty. For a stain it is very moisturizing, but it has a funky taste. I think that if you do want a long-lasting lip color, this is a good choice because it is not drying at all. Plus it comes in lots of shades!
Available at www.lorealparisusa.com and chain drug, food and mass market retailers nationwide.
L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Eye Shadow Quads ($7.95 USD) – Color authority L’Oréal Paris is proud to expand its Colour Riche franchise to include a new collection of eye shadow quads that have been customized with trend-driven, wearable hues and specially developed to create not just one eye look – but endless statement looks for your every mood.

These are beautiful quads of bright or smoky colors. The four shades can create so many fun looks. Really great pigment payoff!

Merle Norman Color Max Shadow in Lavender Ice ($12 USD) High-fashion shadows are packed with pigment to give you maximum color pay-off in a single swipe. Duo-chromatic pigments and pearlized powders create multi-dimensional effects with a satiny-smooth finish.
This is a gorgeous color on. The lavender is shimmery, but not glittery, which I love. Great alone with a dark liner.
Merle Norman Moist Lip Color in Cotton Candy ($15 USD) The name says it all! Soft, beautiful and oh-so-yummy lips are yours with this nourishing, light formula that provides sheer, luscious color and shine with moisturizing benefits.
This is my favorite lip gloss at the moment. So pretty and light and very moisturizing. Not sticky at all.
Pixi Extra Eye Bright Liner ($17 USD) — This waterproof precision inner rim liner is designed to brighten the eyes and make the eye whites look whiter. Twist-up, non-sharpening precision point pen makes it easy to use and adds a brightening effect exactly where you want it.

Paraben-free. Mineral oil-free. Suitable for the most sensitive eyes.
This works really well to brighten my tired eyes! It can also be used at the inner corners of the eye and under the browbone for extra light.
Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balm ($17 USD) — Packed with lip-loving ingredients, this glossy gel balm protects & hydrates lips instantly. After the balm wears off, lips are left tinted with a flattering, personalized hue just for you (colour & intensity depends on pH level of lips).

Jojoba oil is an effective natural moisturizer and environmental barrier for the skin

A little over a month ago, I received Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips complimentary through Influenster (Influenster.com).
From the #1 most awarded whitening brand by beauty editors, Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips remove over 10 years of set-in stains and “whiten 25X better than the leading toothpaste*”. Their motto is: If You’re Not Whitening, You’re Yellowing.
Crest 3D White Whitestrips Professional Effects is thin, flexible strips that are coated with a tooth whitening gel containing peroxide. Designed to conform to the shape of your teeth, they work by keeping the whitening gel on your teeth for 30 minutes once a day to get at stain build-up on and below the tooth’s surface. After 20 days, you’ll get long-lasting, professional-level whitening.
I have been loving these Whitestrips! I am almost done with my 20 days. My teeth are so much whiter! The only thing I don’t love is that they make my extremely sensitive teeth ache.
I would purchase these about once a year to keep my teeth white. Visit www.3dwhite.com to learn more!
