Even though most of the country is experiencing abnormally high temperatures for this time of year, it’s still officially fall and it’s about to get even more official with Daylight Savings coming up this weekend. I find I do most of my house changes at this time of year, like packing away spring and summer clothes.

So with change in the air, you may find yourself needing to change some of your beauty routine up like choosing a heavier face moisturizer and changing out a lighter shade of foundation and even changing  your deodorant. I do. Unilever offers a variety of dry sprays that I’ve kind of been hooked on since discovering them last year. I like these dry sprays because they go on the skin instantly dry and since it’s colder in the house, who wants to wait around waiting for their deodorant to dry? Not me! Check out ones from AXE, Dove Men +Care, Degree and Dove at your local #Walmart.

What I love most about the nights getting colder in September is creating a home spa in my bathroom. It gets darker earlier in the day and that alone just makes me want to curl up in a warm bath or soak my feet! While an overall bath with candles and a good book is always pampering, I find just focusing on a part of my body and giving it a “super treatment,” like my feet or hands, is what I seem to do most.

And what better way to pamper this season than with the exquisite scent of sweet cream and peony inside the Dove Purely Pampering collection in Sweet Cream and Peony. Have you ever smelled peony flower before? It’s a little on the rosy side and a little on the clean side and 100% feminine.

They just came out with a Body Wash and Beauty Bar in the scent and it's just for taking care of your parts this season.

I really thought I wrote about this one when it came out and I certainly could of back when Cybelesays.com was a monthly before May 2007. Well it’s good enough to write about again and I still  don’t know of any other sunscreen that comes in this kind of powder form. COLORSCIENCE Sunforgettable Mineral Sunscreen Brush SPF 30 ($57/6g, $64/6g for SPF 50 @ colorescience.com, dermstore.com) comes in one of those self-dispensing tubes with a brush at one end. And it’s easy to use. Just move the brush in a circular motion and this will active the loose mineral powder to come in between the hair bristles.

And it has a retractable hard plastic brush sleeve that will help you close the tube after each use. So convenient for toting!

Apply this to your face, hands, body, everywhere really and each application gives up to 80-minutes of water-resistant UVA/UVB sun protection.

Probably my favorite trait of this is that it easily sweeps the protection over a made up face without messing it up like a liquid can. That’s worth it right there as I have not found any other sun protection product that will apply without messing up makeup. Look for about 90 days of protection with daily use.

This one comes in 5 different shades with just a hint of tint and there are matte and shimmer versions.

When you think of a luxury product, what kinds of ingredients do you think of? Roses? I totally think of roses and this unconventional product from KAHINA GIVING BEAUTY is all about it. It’s called Moroccan Rose Beldi Soap ($46/8.8oz @ net-a-porter.com) and contains just two ingredients: saponified olea europaea (olive) oil and rose damascene (rose) flower oil.

Now first, let’s discuss what Beldi soap is as I had to look it up myself. It’s a soap paste made from olive oil that has a light lather and is rich in vitamin E. The olive oil is saponified (this is what the process of soap making is called) and combined with rose oil and looks and feels like a gelified green goo. Beldi soap was made specially to be used in Turkish baths or Turkish steam rooms.

 *On a side note, when I was looking up what Beldi soap was, I saw quite a few tutorials on how to make Moroccan Savon Noir (Beldi) soap. Just google it!

You only need a quarter-sized amount so this 8.8oz jar should last you a while or it can also be used like a body mask for super moisturizing. All I kept thinking when I was typing this is what a unique gift this will make around holiday time, dontcha think?

This is a sponsored post. All words are my own.

One trend I’ve seen take off lately is spot masking for the face. This has risen in popularity because not all skin on the face should be treated the same (hello T-zone!?), and that can be said about the skin on the body. I mean, my knees and elbows are certainly not as smooth as the skin on my shins or forearms. So thankfully there are products that can gussy up those areas, so to speak! All AmLactin products contain alpha-hydroxy therapy, which helps to exfoliate dead skin cells, while hydrating the area with emollients, which seems like what every cream out there should do, right?

So in looking at the different parts of my body, I recently realized that I didn’t own a foot cream! Can you imagine - 101 products in the beauty closet and no foot cream? So I was glad that they sent me the foot cream to try out for this post. It contains their patented ULTRAPLEX, which exfoliates and hydrates to prevent cracks (eww!) and after using it before going to bed every night for just one week, I can happily say that I’m back in strappy heels. Dry cracked heels make me shutter so I’m glad I discovered this one. You can get this @ Amazon.com.

Last year I discovered that I had Keratosis Pilaris on the backs of my arms. Also called chicken skin bumps, it’s a form of eczema. I immediately sought out something to relieve it. While they don’t hurt or itch, they are just kind of unsightly and don’t feel good under the tips of my fingers when I run my hands over my skin.

I had been using an expensive cream prescribed by my dermatologist and then I read about AmLactin’s Moisturizing Body Lotion. I’ve been using it exclusively for the past year and have never looked back! It contains 12% lactic acid, which boosts the skins own renewal process. While there is no cure for KP, this one keeps the chicken bumps at bay, which is good enough for me. Hello tank top in public! And I love that I can pick it up @ Amazon.com.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of AmLactin Skin Care. The opinions and text are all mine.

1. MUA MAKEUP ACADEMY Double Ended Foundation & Concealer Brush ($14 @ cvs.com) – Every once in a while a brush comes along that just becomes a staple in your collection, and that’s this one. Both sides of this brush can be used to apply both creams and liquids and the size of each head, especially the foundation size, is just perfect! This brand is on a roll for me lately.

2. CERAVE Moisturizing Cream with Pump ($17.99/16oz @ walgreens.com) – you ever just want a super basic cream with no strong perfume or scent? Yup, this one is it and it contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid. And how convenient is this pump? Love it.

3. PANTENE Air Spray Alcohol Free Hairspray ($5.49/7oz @ walgreens.com) – this one is starting to rival this one as one of my favorites. I mean, it is for the summer, for sure though. It acts sort of the same in that it gives great hold yet it’s brushable. And this one is alcohol-free.

4. COVERGIRL Lash Blast Plumpify Mascara ($11.99 @ target.com) – I’m tough on mascara and pass on probably 80% of the ones I try. This one, however, gets some high marks from me as it really does plump-ify each lash.

5. MAYBELLINE Super Stay 24 Lip Color in Very Cranberry ($10.49 @ maybelline.com, target.com) – remember in this post how I mentioned how all colors are not created equal, even when they are in the same collection? Yup, that is the case here. I can’t stop wearing this shade of rosy rose. Great for a summer day!

Have you heard of the 3 P’s of Self Tanners? Yup, it’s a thing, well at least I’m making it a thing right now, so learn more about each below. And while the formulas are getting better these days, I really wish there was more progress when it came to that darn tanner smell! Yes, some are able to mask it better than others but it's still there. 

In the meantime, let's check out the 3 P's!

Primed - SKINNY TAN Tan & Tone Kit ($54.99 @ skinnytan.com) – if you are looking for the whole kit and caboodle, this might be your answer. This one includes an oil-free skin exfoliator, Pre-Tan Primer, so you get the smoothest application you can. And the 7-Day Tanner gives skin an instant bronze loo that develops into a tan shade in a few hours and sticks around for up to 7 days. And make sure you give a healthy helping of this on your backside as they didn’t put the name Skinny in the name for nothing.

I’m just loving the smell of almonds lately. I mean, what’s not to love? They’re good for you to eat and they are highlighted in these two products.

$$$ - L’OCCITANE Almond Delicious Paste Exfoliating Butter ($42/7oz @ loccitane.com) – this is one of the thickest scrubs I’ve ever used, hence the word ‘Butter’ in the title, cuz they mean it! This one uses a combination of sugar and crushed almond shells to exfoliate nourishing oil like Sweet Almond Oil and Shea Butter.

$ - SIMPLE SUGARS Almond Body Scrub ($14/5oz, $19/8oz @ simplesugarscrub.com) - Oy, I could inhale this one every day! It smells like my favorite dessert, marzipan! And the exfoliators in it are a combo of sugar and bits of almonds as well as essential oils to moisturize the skin. No need for a lotion afterward.

1. MATRIX Biolage Polishing Hair Scrub ($23/7.6oz @ jcpenney.com) – this pre-shampoo sugar scrub was made to clean the scalp and hair and I’m a fan of these pre-products lately. This one smells like fresh cut lemons.

2. WEN 'Spring Honey Lilac' eau de parfum ($109/3.4oz @ chazdean.com) – I think I may have found my springtime scent! Living in California, I don’t come across lilacs at all so it’s nice to be able to smell them again on the regular with this frag.

3. METHOD Foaming Body Wash in Ruby Orange ($4.74/18oz @ walgreens.com and target.com) – no waiting for lather with this one! Just a few pumps of this in the wash cloth and you’re ready to go. And the scent is really nice and uplifting.

4. REVIVAL Coffee + Rose Hip Natural Body Scrub ($21.95/8oz @ revivalbodycare.com) – if you need your coffee to wake you up in the morning, you may want to check this one out because coffee is the main ingredient. Also inside this Vegan scrub is coconut oil, brown sugar, virgin olive oil, sea salt, and rose hip oil. That’s it! #supportindies

Sometimes we see ourselves as too small to make a difference, like with my latest campaign on distracted driving. But I have to get over that feeling because with everything in life, it starts with one person and it can multiply from there and can change the world.

And that’s just what The Vaseline Healing Project is about. Vaseline has partnered up with DirectRelief to provide dermatological care, Vaseline Jelly and medical supplies to those that need help in healing the skin of people affected by poverty or emergencies around the world.

Check out this special message from Viola Davis here. And she really hits it home. I never thought about the skin needing attention when a disaster hits like the recent earthquake in Chile or a crisis arises in an area like the middle east and what supplies can make a difference.

You can build your own Healing Kit here and I love that if I hover over one corner of the picture, it shows why that item is important. I pretty much put every product they showed in my kit! And you can pick up every product at Walmart, which makes it easy to have your own emergency kit at home or in your car.

For this campaign, every 1 Vaseline purchase you make, The Vaseline Healing Project will make 1 Healing Donation. Are you in yet? Remember, you can make a difference. #SpreadtheDifference and #SharetheHealing! Read more about the whole project here.
