So I love this Sea Spray by Lush. I love it for what it does instead of hate it for what it doesn't do. What it doesn't do is give me beautifully beach babe-y bouncing hair even though I thought it should. I don't think any product in the world bought in a store can give you a hair transplant with Gisele Bundchen.
What it does it make my Sunday mornings a breeze. All the ladies who hate heat styling their hair, please raise your hands up. After towel drying your hair, putting on your clothes and makeup, spritz a little of this stuff into your hair and it'll air dry with nice natural waves and some texture. Don't over do the spray otherwise instead of feeling texture you'll just feel dirty. The spray also has a great summery grapefruit scent to it which goes well with that laissez-faire type of look you may want on any particular day.

MAC Cosmetics Mineralize Skin Finish Natural

I don't own very much MAC, to be honest. I don't stay faithful to any one brand. I feel like every brand has their masterpieces and I'm on a mission to find them.
Anyways, after taking a shower at my sister in law's place and needing to put on some what of a face, I stumbled across her Mineralize Skin Finish Natural (medium deep). The color in the compact looked a lot darker than I needed but it was better than nothing. Regardless of it not being the right shade for me, I couldn't get it out of my head and not too long after, I made my way to a local MAC store to pick one up closer to my shade.
The MAC consultant chose medium dark for me. The difference between dark and deep seemed pretty drastic, where deep was mocha sun kissed, dark was a copper toned bronze. My first few days of trying the product was a bit tragic as I wasn't sure how to apply it and I ended up looking too orange.
I had been applying it as an all over powder which was my mistake. After a few more tries I got my method down pat.
I use a kabuki brush and dab/twist it onto the compact. Then i push the kabuki down on to the lid of the compact to disperse and after the application. I then pat the kabuki on to the hollows of my cheeks, kind of where I would normally contour and then buff it into my entire face. So most of the color was deposited on to my cheeks and then buffed into the rest of my face to create a natural finish.
Sometimes after doing this, I pick up a 116 MAC blush brush and pick up some more pigment (press it against the lid again to disperse color) and then contour with it. The key to this product is that it's beautifully build able. And had I given up after my first few days of trying the product, it wouldn't have become been my daily go to.
I use this product as a bronzer and to contour so it's a two birds one stone kind of thing. Plus, with the finely milled shimmer in it, it's a luminizer. This product is perfect for low maintenance makeup for travel and the beach. Would I buy it again? Hell yeah.

I've been researching body oils like a crazy person until I decided to buy Lierac's Huile Sensorielle. A pharmacy down the street from my place had a gift package which included a gel body wash for $44.
I had 2 other oils in mind but I nixed Nars Monoi Body Glow because of the heavy scent and I didn't got with Nuxe because I felt that I would lose too much product with the mist application.
Now, I chose Lierac because;
1) amazing scent
2) pump applicator
3) free body wash was a plus!
The formula is not greasy at all, my skin drinks in up. I like to put it on right after a shower after I pat myself dry. It also has this beautiful romantic scent which lingers. It has me thinking that my next scent purchase will be Leirac's Eau aux 3 fleurs.
However, because of this scent I haven't yet put this on my face (argan oil for life!).
Would I buy this again? Yes. Does it make my summer tan look fresh? Absolutely.
