SUN SAFETY for Summer 2010

Don't be afraid of the sun this summer, instead of laying in the sun to fry. Why not opt to use self tanning lotions or a great sunscreen. They are great for the skin, they provide SPF and you avoid the feeling of burn after you've been in the sun for a couple hours. Take care of your skin and she will take care of you. Here are my product recommendations.



SHISEIDO Ultimate Sun Protection lotion SPF 55. It is water resistant , it blocks UVA/UVB rays and prevents cell damage with rose apple leaf extract. $ 39

CLARINS Delectable Self Tanning Mousse with Mirabelle Oil SPF 15. This formula melts in your skin. It provides protection and moisture to the skin. Ultimate results: Sun kisses skin. $ 42



SEVIN NYNE Self Tanning Lotion and Spray. It provides a smooth finish leaving your skin glowing. $ 35

TINTED MOISTURIZERS

If you are like me that in the summer time I enjoy feeling my skin hydrated but covered you will definitely love these tinted moisturizers out there.

So the fun part is that these products are so amazing they are 2 in 1. They hydrate your skin while at the same time providing a tiny bit of color to ensure you carry yourself with an even skin tone wherever you go to. So I have 3 products that I would like to recommend for you. One of them is my favorite because not only does it have tint and moisturizer but it also provides you with a luminescent glow. For the most part all tinted moisturizers will have SPF, super important to buy products that have SPF 15 or higher. Enjoy.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizers comes in 10 shades & has SPF 15. $42




STILA Illuminating tinted Moisturizers SPF15. Has 2 different shades plus a bronzer. $32




SMASHBOX Sheer Focus Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15. Has 5 different shades. $30

Cheek Tints & Creams... Some of my Favorite!

This summer what we want to accomplish is a flawless skin full of radiance and luminosity. So what better than using tints and creams rather than our normal powder blushes. When u use a liquid/creamy base for a blush your skin looks even more hydrated. In the summer the look is mostly shimmery and vivid, not matte.

So here are my product recommendations for this post.

HD MICROFINISH Blush
These amazing cream blushes come in 14 colors. It naturally shapes and gives a natural highlights look for instant luminosity. $ 25






BENEFIT Bene Tint
This product can be use for lips and cheeks. It is time efficient and leaves you looking natural and fresh. It comes in 2 colors. $28


Rose



Possy Pink

Nail Polish these Days.

These hot summer days, think about some bright colors or metallics! They will take you a long way. If you stick to a HOP PINK like i did here it is definitely going to bring the girl in you. You will feel feminine, loved and most important sexy.



If you go with a Metallic color like i did here. Used OPI for sephora in a metallic silver. It looked absolutely adorable. It made me feel trendy, chic, fashion forward and extremely confident. Again use bright colors that make you feel good and that for sure go good with your skin complexion.



Until next time. Enjoy your new polish.

BEST Deodorant ever....

CLINIQUE Antiperspirant Deodorant.

I have been using this product for over 10 years, so has my mom, sister,aunt, cousins and now I got my husband to use it as well. It is the best thing I have ever experience, and by far the most effective one.


Clinique also carries a Men's Deodorant but, I believe (and my husband too) that this is better because it is clear and it leaves no stains. The cost is $ 9.00

Bye Bye Cellulite....

Are you tired of working out on those thighs & buttox and your still not eliminating the stubborn cellulite? You might want to pair your workout with this lotion which will change your life. I'm not saying stop working out but, after that workout and a hot shower apply this lotion and results will come along.



I'm talking about Clarins Lift-Minceur Haute Fenition. This is a High Deninition Body lift that works for cellulite control and smoothes & firms. It redifines your hips and thighs by reducing the signs of cellulite as well as smoothing out that sexy silhouette we all want to have this summer.


It actually works... The cost is $65. Much cheaper than a laser cellulite treatment.

Primers what to use....

How many of us use a face primer after our moisturizer but before our foundation? Whoever does us face primer knows how amazing the skin feels right after you apply it right? So here I am again recommending some great products for any budget. Always remember BEAUTY does not have to be expensive... Here are my favorite face primers.

Shall we start with L'oreal

L'OREAL just came out with a line of amazing products that are called Studio Secrets Professional Perfecting base and Studio Secrets Professional Color Correcting Primers. I previously talked about the Studio Finish Perfecting base, and the reasons why we should have that product in our makeup drawers. So now what's next...

L'OREAL Studio Secret Professional Color Correcting Primers. There are three colors...
Green - Anti redness
Tan- Anti-dull skin primer gives a radiant healthy glow to medium/dark skins.
Pink- Anti- Dull skin primer illuminates and adds warmth to light complexions
White- Anti shine
Cost $12.99




Makeup Forever HD Micro-perfecting Primers are also amazing color primers, these come in a variety of colors, it's lightweight and oil free.
Clear 0- adds luminosity to the complexion
Green 1- Reduces redness
Lavender 2 - counteracts sallow undertones
Caramel 4 - combats ashiness in medium to dark skin tones.
Blue 5 - Adds radiance to light skin reducing minor imperfections.
Yellow 6- Lightens dark complexions
Pink 7- Brightens complexions and counteracts sallow tones.
Cost $32.00



Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primers.

Apricot- evens out skin tones and counteracts discoloration and dark spots.

As well as L'oreal, Smashbox has it's original clear formula in two options Oil Free and the regular Photo Finish Primer.



As an FYI a primer will not only enhance your complexions but it will help with minimizing the appearance of pores, and minimal lines as well as smoothing out your complexions making it look and feel silk like.

Until next time enjoy your new primers....

Summer days in Paradise...

Have you been dreaming about being in this beach......?? Tahiti the largest island in French Polynesia. Luxurious, secluded and a perfect romantic getaway.






Or maybe in these one?... The Maldive islands are part of the Indian Ocean. Pretty impressive to be there. Also a great place to relax, have a honey moon or maybe write a book. Who knows. How about snorkeling in clear blue waters. ?






If you are planning a trip to the beach... whether it's a luxurious trip or a road trip to the beach. Make sure your makeup bag has two main products! A sunblock of SPF 30 or higher, as well as an after sun gel. Be prepare just in case we get a little over exposed to the sun. Here are some recommendations.


Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Day-Touch Sunblock ($11.99) is great and it has SPF 45 (SPF-Sun Protector Factor). Clarins Creme Solaire Securite Haute Protection ($32) is another great choice if you want to spend a bit more money.


AFTER....Wow some of us just turn brown instantly but some of us turn bright red. Whatever the case is it burns right? So either of these products really work... Clinique After Sun ($20) promotes a soothing feeling. Korres Yoghurt Cooling Gel ($23) moisturizes instantly due to the yoghurt benefits and it is ultra cooling.




I'm left to say... bon voyage, buen Viaje, Safe trip.
