I’m kind of a moron when it comes to
self-tanners. I can never seem to get it just right and end up with some areas
darker than others so NIVEA’s new Sun-Kissed Beautiful Legs Shave Minimizing
Gradual Tan Moisturizer is right up my alley as I don’t think anyone can mess
it up! As the name states, it’s a gradual one that builds a natural looking tan
with everyday use. And this one has an added bonus of not only moisturizing but
also somehow making “hair less noticeable.” I have no idea what that means and
didn’t really see the hair on my legs and could not figure out which ingredient
was able to do that so I’m shrugging over that one. But if you are looking for
a natural looking buildable color for your skin, this is a good one to try.
Available in Fair to Medium and Medium to Dark for $9.99/6.7oz @ cvs.com.

Remember this feature from last year with the new trend for the long-lasting manicure? Well CND’s version, called Shellac Hybrid Nail Color, is upon us. It's the same base coat, color, top coat then cure with a UV light type of process and the formula is 3-Free (no formaldehyde, tolune or DBP) like the other company I tried last year but did this Shellac live up to the hype?

The more lip glosses I try the more
I realize how kind of amazing these are at staying on lips. So of course I have
to wonder what took me so long to discover their, L’OREAL PARIS, Infallible
Never Fail Lipcolour Compact. Uh-maze-ing! Not only does the color stay on for
hours but it doesn’t flake or smear off. I think we’ve all tried
something like this by now and most seem to stay for a little while but
eventually come off and usually by flaking dryly off. These did make my lips a
little on the dry but that’s after I took it off after wearing it for 8 or so hours,
so that was ok in my book!
If you’re not familiar with how
these work, one side is the color and it’s like a paint and not thick and waxy
at all like a lipstick. The other tube in the duo is a clear chapstick-type of
glosser, they call a conditioning topcoat. So when the color needs to be
refreshed, just reapply the topcoat, not the color again.
Dare I say that I think they are
better than these? I think they just might be!
And the container acts like a
mirror. Nice added bonus!
They just came out with their Stars Never Fail Lipcolour Compact Collection ($11.99 @ lorealparis.com or drugstores nationwide) and I’ve got a set to giveaway to one lucky reader. The colors are: Beyoncé (Beyoncé’s Red), Andie MacDowell (Andie’s Rose), Diane Keaton (Diane’s Tuberose), Eva Longoria Parker (Eva’s Caramel), Kate del Castillo (Kate’s Plum) and Linda Evangelista (Linda’s Beige).
This Body Scrub from the STARK line
really reminds me of one I used quite a few years back but can’t for the
life of me remember what brand it was! All I know is that I really liked it and this one is falling in that category. It is comprised of finely milled walnut shell
powder and essential oils like lemon verbena and peppermint and sure to
get your engine going. The walnut powder is ground up super fine and is quite
dense, so you don’t need a lot to get your exfoliation on. So what's different about this one from other scrubs? When you look at the mixture with the naked eye, it's almost like there are no oils in it and it all walnut shell, almost like coffee grounds but milled much finer. Not recommended for
the face or other sensitive areas but a big recommendation for the body! $24/6oz @ starkwaxingstudio.com.

If NINA RICCI Le Paradis de Nina
doesn’t scream summertime, I don’t know what does! And this has to be one of
the sweetest scents I have come across in some time but in a nice feminine way.
Check out these notes:
Top: orange peel, mandarin, orange
blossom, almond tree
Middle: gardenia, apple, heliotrope
Bottom: sandalwood, blonde woods,
patchouli and vanilla.
To my nose, this one opens with a
strong fruity orange smell and then develops into a tangy floral. Very romantic
smelling. $55/1.7oz @ macys.com.

Now this is a new concept – a tea
room inspiring a line of beauty products. The location is called h.wood Tea
Room and like the teas they brew, the products they create use organic tea
leaves (along with essential oils) to make up the HWOOD BEAUTY line. I was
delightfully surprised by their Lip Shine in Plum ($20 @ hwoodbeauty.com)
recently. It’s one of those not-at-all gloss formulas that will last you
forever and seems more like a stain it’s so thin. I mean, who is in the mood for a goopy gloss or thick lipstick in this heat??
And don’t be scared off by the
gothicy plum of this plum shade shown in the picture as it actually comes out like a light mauve,
believe it or not.

They are rich and moisturizing
yet not greasy like a lotion can be until it sinks in. I mean, who wants to
slather on a thick lotion in this heat? Here are two next to my shower right now.
