Current Likes: Summer Edition

Just a quick post to share with you some of my "can't live without" products this Summer. Hope you girls are having an amazing time!

1. Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment

My favorite hair oil!: I find myself using this product sooo much since after the beach and pool my hair gets very dehydrated. This oil works wonders to provide shine and smoothness without making my hair feel greasy or weighing it down. 

Extra points: It smells so nice!

2. NYX Blush

My killer combo: Pecan (PB22) which I use to bronze and contour my face and Dusty Rose (PB02). The perfect combination to create subtle-yet-defined cheeks.

3. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunscreen

My no-fail recurring product: Sunblocks/sunscreens are a must on summer and no matter how many products I try within this category, I always see myself going back to this one. Is my one and only since it doesn't feel sticky and it's super easy to apply.

4. L'Oreal Colour Riche Balm

My ultimate long time favorite: Caring Coral (418) since it provides a very peachy and natural color with the added benefit of hydration and oils to pamper my lips during this hot summer days.

5. Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover

Just what your skin needs during harsh sunny days: A very simple paraben-free cleanser that will remove makeup traces as well as excess oils from your skin without making it feel tight or dehydrated. 

6. güd Body Wash 

My new fave: I bought this body was in the scent Vanilla Flame a month ago and have been in love with it ever since. Why? It smells amazing and relaxing, it's natural and doesn't contain harsh ingredients, plus it leaves my skin very soft. End point: Great product!

New Hair Care Line from L'Oreal

L'Oreal Paris has recently launched their new and innovative line of hair care products called ADVANCED HAIRCARE. I am so exited to try this products since I am a fan of the brand and have repurchased several times their EverPure Conditioner. The line consists of 5 sets of products that contain different ingredients to treat specific hair needs. The common ingredient among all the products is Arginine which is an aminoacid that will help repair and enhance cells, making your hair get better from the inside out. Below are each of the 5 sets of products and their claims.

COLOR VIBRANCY is for color-treated hair and contains antioxidants and UV filters to protect your hair color from fading and damage due to exposure to the sun. The company claims that it will leave your hair color vibrant for up to 8 weeks. This is definetly the first one I'm trying since I have Auburn-colored hair and it tends to fade and look dull really fast.

SMOOTH INTENSE contains Oleo-Keratin which is a combination of an oil and a protein that will adhere to the structure of your hair to control frizz and the company claims that it will keep up the work for up to 72 hours. This sounds very interesting, especially for those of us who live in humid places as I do where hair can get really crazy during the day.

TOTAL REPAIR 5 claims to treat five symptoms of damaged hair: open ends, weakness, dryness, dullness, lost of movement. The key ingredient of these products is Ceramide which is a strutural intracellular molecule that will help repair damaged hair. This would be great for those of us who are constantly treating our hair with heat, dyes, harsh treatments, etc.

TRIPLE RESIST is for weak hair that is very prone to breakage. The ingredient that will do this is Arginine which will nourish and reinforce your hair and prevent hair fall due to breakage.

POWER MOISTURE contains Hyaluronic which the company claims that will provide 10X more hydration to dry strands without weighting down your hair. Hairstylists recommend using a deep hydrating mask 1-2 times a week, so I think this mask would be one to try.

So this is the new line! I am eager to try some of these products and really hope that they accomplish what they claim.

Are any of you thinking about trying this new line? What would be your choice of product(s)? I love to hear from you girls so please let me know what you think in the comments below :)

Nude Lips

For this Winter season lipstick colors such as red, plum, and oxblood are having a huge moment but there is another color that is trending a lot this season: Nude. This color is so versatile that is really easy to use to any event, day or night, to a party or just to go shopping. My two favorite nude lip products are from L'OREAL and both from their Colour Riche Collection. The lipstick is in the color Fairest Nude and is great because it is nude color but with just a hint of light pink to it. You can use it alone or with my other favorite nude lip product, the Colour Riche Balm in the color Nourishing Nude which will add shine and moisture to your lips. This balm is very hydrating and has SPF on it which is a great added benefit for everyday use to prevent dry lips, protect them from sun damage, and to add a little life to pale lips. I went through Pinterest to find some great eye looks to go with your nude lips. As I had said, the nude lips are very versatile so you can pair it with just about any eye look but my favorites are posted below. Hope you feel inspired and try some or all of these looks for all the fun Christmas events!
