{Product provided for review/feature consideration}

FRIZZY HAIR: Sun Bum Beach Formula Shine On is the best at not only mending and repairing split ends but also in conditioning with Coconut and Avocado oils! This lives in my purse for on the go hair fixes for me and my daughters. It smells fantastic and makes our hair so soft and shiny!

OILY, SHINY SKIN: Lumene Bright Now Blur is the best at minimizing the appearance of pores and making skin matte – with added Vitamin C for brightening! This is perfect for touch ups throughout the day. I also use it when I don't want to wear any makeup and it gives my skin such a smooth appearance!

DULL, BLEH SKIN: Smashbox’s LA Lights is the best multitasker – use it as a blush, lip stain or just to give color to your face! This is so perfect for running out to carpool or the bus stop - it's enough to give you some polish and color without looking overdone!

DRY, SPOTTY SKIN: Lumene’s Complete Rewind Visible Wrinkle Eraser can be used for such more than just obliterating wrinkles over time – it has Arctic Sea Buckthorn to plump, moisturize and revitalize skin! I'm not gonna lie - for now, I don't have a lot of need for this on my face, but I have found that it makes a great hand moisturizer as well!

June 2013 Favorites!

This was a great month for favorites, inasmuch as I had a really difficult time narrowing it down to these {and there was no way possible that I could cut it down to ten}. Some of the items here have been in my collection for a while, but I am rediscovering how much I love them {and wondering how I forgot about them in the first place}, others are new to me {thanks to the lovely companies that I have the pleasure of working with}, and once again I'm left to wonder how I ever did without them. So without further ado, here are my favorites for the month of June...

Look Flawless Without Makeup

Summer is the time to set your makeup and hair tools aside and embrace your natural beauty, and even though it is technically coming to an end soon, the heat does not seem to want to leave us! So skip the fuss of hot tools, blush, mascara and highlighters and relax already!  Keep in mind that going bare does require a few pointers to look your best without heavy makeup. Here are some tips from some real beauty experts: a model,  a makeup artist and a celebrity hair stylist. I hope that their tips on looking beautiful without all the fuss help you to find your way to simple, natural beauty :)

Tip from the model:

Actress, model and socialite, Byrdie Bell’s flawless skin is her best feature and she credits her amazing complexion to the Finnish natural skincare company, Lumene, for which she is Brand Ambassador. For model casting calls, Byrdie is often required to show-up with a fresh, makeup-free face. “When I go on castings and auditions, I can cheat amazing skin by applying some Arctic Aqua 2-in-1 Skin Perfecting Moisture Booster to my temples and cheekbones,” says Byrdie. “You can replace traditional highlighter with a product that actually helps out your skin and still get that dewy look!” Keeping your skin hydrated is the secret to keeping your skin moist and glowy on its own, no make-up necessary!
