Oh, to be a kid again. We’ve long been obsessed with Disney movies, Disney princesses, fairy tales … there’s just something so lovely about the idea of escaping to another world through these media. And it’s never been so easy, thanks to the Disney Lip Smacker Fairy Tale Adventure Trio Collection.Seriously, how adorable are the three lip balms in this collection? Choose from Jasmine (Berry Magic), Ariel (Calypso Berry) or Belle (Tea Party Treats). Each one features one of the Disney princesses on the front and they’re all packed with shimmer and glitter, which just make us feel so girly and cute.
And, as with every Lip Smacker, our lips are left feeling soft, smooth and moisturized! What’s not to love?
The Disney Lip Smacker Fairy Tale Adventure Trio Collection retails for $4.50 at colorandflavorshop.com.
A little over a week ago, I was digging through my linen closet and found Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution. According to the packaging, “Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution is a fast-acting serum that evens skin tone and diminishes dark spots to impart overall radiance and luminosity to the skin.” I’ve been using it twice a day, every day since I found it and I’m happy to report that those pesky red patches are basically gone. I still don’t know what caused them, but this simply serum has made them a non-issue! Kiehl’s says the Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution will also help with acne scarring and that with continued use overall skin tone will even out and future dark spots and other skin discolorations could be prevented.
You can buy Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution for $49.50 at kiehls.com.
Strangely, I’m normally not a fan of scented lotion. I’m not even an everyday perfume wearer, but a lot of hand creams and moisturizers are scented so heavily that I feel like they overpower my fragrance, my body lotion and just my actual being. Not so with The Soap & Paper Factory Jasmine Hand Cream.I love so many things about this hand cream. First of all, the packaging is absolutely gorgeous. I love the flowers and butterflies in vibrant colors adoring both the outer box and the actual lotion tube. They brighten up the nightstand, the coffee table, my purse … anywhere I choose to bring this hand cream, which, recently, is everywhere!
But it’s the hand cream itself that really takes the cake. It’s light, lush and non-greasy and immediately sinks into the skin. The jasmine scent is gloriously fragrant but somehow not overpowering, so it just makes my skin smell subtly floral and mysteriously sexy. Only a small amount is needed to immediately transform skin into a soft, smooth expanse, even if it’s previously been dry and cracking.
Is there anything not to love about this luxurious hand cream? My answer is certainly no.
The Soap & Paper Factory Jasmine Hand Cream retails for $18 at soapandpaperfactory.com.
We don’t know about you, but when it’s super hot out, the last thing we want to do is douse ourselves with a heavy perfume. It just feels too cloying and close for our tastes when it’s over 85 degrees and sticky outside! That’s where fragrance splashes come in handy. They’re light, they’re fresh, they provide just enough scent to make you feel pretty but not so much that you’ll feel like you’re drowning. These are our five favorites.Bath & Body Works Malibu Heat Fine Fragrance Mist
Juicy notes like fresh mandarin and pineapple blend with more sensual ones like creamy vanilla and sandalwood in this fragrance that transports us right to—you guessed it—Malibu.
