Why I'm in love with you- Summer Body Care

Summer's coming up!

Let's hit the beach, get out the sandals, the bathing suits, the sunglasses...and of course, the ice cream. Your skin needs might also change during the Summer...

So here is a list to maintaining great skin during the summer, and transforming your dry, winter skin into silky, gorgeous skin

For Daily regular bar soap:

Dove White Bar Soap

The classic Dove White. It's amazing, doesn't dry out skin, it's sooo rich and creamy, and it's the perfect everyday bar soap

For itch relief:

Eucerin Calming Body Wash

Amazing wonder for dry, itchy skin! Last year, my skin was severely dry and itchy, and the dermatologist recommended this. And it really calms down! It's fragrance free...so no need to worry if you have sensitive skin. For even better results, check out the matching lotions/cremes.

Wake up! Body Wash:

Dove Go fresh BURST body wash

The perfect compliment to a great awakening shower. The smell will revive your senses, and you'll probably end up dancing in the shower! This brightens up anyone's mood, and it also has nurtium moisture, so your skin is happy too!

Exfoliating Body Wash:

St. Ives Purify Exfoliating Body Wash

The best! It has mineral salt, which is perfect for getting soft skin! I have SUPER sensitive skin, so most exfoliating body washes leave my skin irritated and red. But not this. This is gentle...effective...and budget friendly! Unfortunately, few stores still keep this product :/

Natural Scrub

This is a superrbbbb scrub! This will leave skin so amazingly soft!

You just need to mix some olive oil and sugar...and ta da! You can use this even on your face (maybe not for sensitive skin though) and you can exfoliate your lips with this too!

LOTIONS:

For Super Dry skin:

Eucerin Intensive Repair Creme

The king of helping dry skin! It's so rich in alpha hydroxy, it replenishes skin, it's so rich and so great! It's fragrance free, so once again, if you have sensitive skin...no need to worry!

A touch of SMILE lotion:

Nivea Happy Sensation Body Lotion

Oh myyy! This is the favorite! When I put this on, I literally start smiling, laughing, dancing, remembering all the wonderful moments in life. It really brightens up your morning, and it leaves your skin lightly fragranced...so it isn't too strong...it's just perfect.

Relaxing, Natural Lotion:

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion

This lotion has active naturals, natural ingredients, that help moisturize, calm, and soothe skin. A wonderful start to the morning!

A touch of Mist:

Dove Go Fresh Body Mist

Yeah, I don't use the deo, but I do love the mists! Everyday, after my shower, I spritz some of this, to give me a nice, light smell. Unlike other mists, it's really not strong, and it keeps you like a flower... fragranced and beautiful.

This is it! I hope you enjoyed this!

Staying Healthy: It starts at the Market

Staying Healthy doesn't start at the gym. Nor your pilates class. It starts at the market-- where you decide what goes in your fridge and pantry.

For this last week, I decided to write this LIST:

-vegetables for cooking

-almond milk

-oatmeal

-LOTS of fruits and such

- chicken

-greek yogurt

Why is it good to write a list?

1) you remember stuff.

2) Your distraction level lowers...so you don't get distracted by other things that just lead to unnecessary buying. Once one thing is checked off, you want to get all of them done fast.

Think it like this:

Whatever (food) goes into my cart, goes in my tummy...*cough cough* GYM! Do you really want to run that extra 2 miles?

So if you are craving that ice cream, but you know that's gonna do no good, then just put it down. Well, actually, it depends on your point of view:

Enjoying junk food (less than/greater than) Extra hour of workout

Just circle the one and think about it haha

So try thinking about your diet and workout at the market.

I know you see that pie...but do you really want it? Is it worth another 2 miles?

*p.S. If your craving chocolate...try dark chocolate or 3 musketeers

If your craving some sweet...then try honey in something or natural sweetness...like pineapples, mangoes, grapes, ...etc.

I know this was cheesy and all...but seriously, make sure whatever you put in your cart won't ruin your workout plans haha!

Review: NYC Color Wheel Mosaic Face Powder

Do you need a dash of color to your day? A multipurpose item that is easy to apply, can go anywhere, and just brighten up your day?

Then this is it! Shelby requested this product, and yes, it took me a little time to actually review it (sorry!)

WHAT:

NYC color wheel mosaic face powder ($4.99 at walmart/drugstores)

PROS?

Great, fast makeup at your fingertips. This is uber great because it quickly gives you a swipe of color and balances your skin tone...so you look flawless.

You can do two things with this product:

1) just take a brush and swirl it all around the color wheel and apply it everywhere on your face

2) you can use the pink colors (in this example) for blush, and the brownish colors for bronzing powders

So it can easily be a nice multipurpose product that is great for the ideal makeup junkie!

Cons?

I honestly don't think I have found any...It's amazing!

Where can I get it?

Any drugstores (: 4.99

What Shades?

Okay, so each color wheel has shades of 4 hues together.

Here is their collection:

-Translucent Highliter Glow: which is pretty much the color wheel for your translucent powder, and your highliter,

-Pink Cheek Glow: This is the color wheel for the blush person. It gives you a gorgeous complexion and the blush is amazing!

-All over bronze glow: For the person that loves a little glow in their days. Great collection of bronzing powders at one (so if you are a starter maybe, you can experiment with the colors), and the shades can cover many skin tones.

-Rose Glow: My favorite! It covers your highliter, bronzing powder and blush...all in one!

So first off, thank you SHELBY for requesting this product, I love it myself sooo much! And I hope that you guys liked this!

Have an aaamazingg dayy!

Quick Beauty Tip of the day!

Tired of dry cracked elbows and knees?

Well fear no more...Dr. Quick Beauty Tip of the Day is here!

Yes indeed! All you need is one lemon.

Just cut the lemon and scrub it on your elbows, knees... severely dried, cracked places.

Now just rinse; and moisturize!

Why does this work?

Lemons have AHA and BHAs that will help take the dead skin cells off; so you can reveal your glowing skin. They replenish much better, and they are an excellent scrub...even for the face!

Try this quick tip out...see if it works for yourself! I hope this helps!

Have a gorgeoussssss and amazinggg day!

Ace of the Face: Base Makeup

Base makeup is referring to primer, foundation, concealer, setting powder...things like that; that are used to perfect and make skin glow.

But since everyone has different needs from their base makeup, and everyone has different skin, it's important that whatever foundation and concealer you use; go in harmony with your need of coverage and your skin type.

PRIMER

L'Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Professional Magic Perfecting Base

This is the only primer you'll ever need, literally. This primer is perfect for teens, moms, and even women over 40. Why? It covers pores and fills in wrinkles, creating a gorgeous canvas ready! And...Allure has also chosen this!

FOUNDATION -- LIGHT COVERAGE

Almay Nearly Naked Liquid Foundation

This is it. If your just starting to wear foundation; or if you are one of those who just want a light coverage; then this is it. It is really...nearly naked, and it doesn't even feel like you have makeup on. It's just the right amount...gives you coverage, and leaves a nice amount of dewyness.

FOUNDATION --- MEDIUM COVERAGE

Loreal True Match Liquid Foundation

My friend is a makeup artist, and she deals with department store and high end foundations all day long. But, she loves this, and she says it's definitely department store worthy!

It's true; this foundation is really the complete package. It has like a zillion shades, so you get covered no matter what; and it covers to a point where it doesn't cake, but it does hide your little imperfections!

FOUNDATION--- OILY SKIN

Cover Girl Clean Liquid Foundation, Oil Control

This foundation is pretty lightweight, and it has oil absorbers. So if you have oily skin, this will keep it all in control...without completely drying out your skin.

MINERAL FOUNDATION

Loreal Bare Natural Mineral Foundation

I'm not a fan of mineral makeup, because I have super dry skin already; and mineral makeup just makes more patchiness and dry skin.

However, I'm pleased with this product. It doesn't dry out skin too much...and it gives a nice, natural look.

TINTED MOISTURIZER

Wet 'n Wild Tinted Moisturizer

Cheap, great coverage, and adjusting shades. What more can you ask? This tinted moisturizer is about $5-7 in drugstores, and it has great coverage. Bottom line: Covers like a foundation, feels like a tinted moisturizer. You might be thinking...does it only have 4 shades? Well yes, but those shades adjust to your tone! (review on this in review tab)

PRESSED POWDER

Maybelline Fit Me pressed powder

I'm in love with their new line! Their shades really do fit any tone; and this powder is perfect. There are no oil, no waxes, nothing. It fives you nice, flawless skin.

CONCEALER

Maybelline Dream Matte Concealer

This is my favorite concealer in the world. It covers your dark circles well, and it doesn't settle in fine lines. It also covers blemishes, and goes great in harmony with any foundation and powder.

That's it! That was ACE OF THE FACE: BASE MAKEUP. I hope you guys liked it! And email me at tsorain@gmail.com, if you have any questions/suggestions.
