Revlon Lip Butters are great. They give a very light wash of color to your lips and feel like chapstick, providing a lot of moisture. These lip products are a great option if you are looking for daring colors but that go on lightly and are less intense. For example, I would love to have a bright red lipstick but I know it would look harsh against my skin tone. If I bought a lip butter in red, I would have a lighter version of the daring color. Check one out! Revlon Lip Butters

I use eye liner only on my top lashes to darken my lash line and make my eyes appear nice and big (as if they aren't already!). This liner is from NYX and I have had it for so long! I love it and the fact that it is retractable. It goes on nice and easily so I don't have to hassle with it. Once I apply my liner to my top lashes, I like to smudge it out with an eyeliner brush, that makes the liner look more perfected and less sketchy-if that makes any sense. If you have an ULTA around you they sell NYX products. If not, visit their site! I have a bunch of things from this company and they make great products for little money. Aaah, my perfect match <3. NYX.

This is the lotion I have been using lately and it is sold in a bunch of nail and hair salons. I happened to find my bottle at Marshall's for way less (score one for me!). This body lotion smells amazing, like candy. I know what you're thinking "I don't want to smell likely sickly sweet candy all day". Well friends, you won't! The scent is very light and fades quickly so it won't clash with your fabulous perfume that you love. It moisturizes and feels great! I am almost out of my bottle and have other lotions to finish up but once those are gone, totally re-purchasing this! Check it out --> Hempz.

I use this Citrus Face Scrub probably once or twice a week. It smells so good, I love citrus scents. It is really grainy that's why I don't use it too often, I don't want to over-dry my skin. It washes off clean and makes my skin feel so smooth! The texture is almost like brown sugar, kind of cool! I recommend this if you're looking for an exfoliating scrub for your skincare routine.

This lip butter by Korres is awesome! I keep it by my bedside table and each night while I'm reading my book I remember to put it on before sleeps. I have another lip butter by Korres but I don't use it as much because it has color to it. This one is clear so I can just layer it on before bed. I wake up with nice soft lips as opposed to dry chapped lips-who wants that right? Smells delish too!

I have had this body splash since last summer when I bought it at L'Occitane. I bought the shampoo and conditioner in this scent at the time too (which I loved and used all up, I should really re-purchase those again!). There was some kind of deal going on (as always I'm a sucker for those) so I bought an entire set of this sent. Citrus Verbena smells amazing for summer. It is a light mix of lemon and grapefruit. I found out recently that most of my perfumes contain grapefruit, who knew? Must be my favorite fragrance. Anyway, I find myself going for this scent in the summer time after a nice cold shower. If fragrances could talk-which they don't, in case you weren't sure-this one would scream "Summer!!"

I am a professional shower gel consumer. I love trying new shower gels and never stick to re-purchasing the same product. Until now! Clean and Clear came out with these three body washes (I have tried them all). Let me tell you, they are so refreshing after a workout at the gym. The scents are heavenly and *bonus* they keep your skin clear! They suds up really well and make you feel totally clean and refreshed. I started with the orange bottle, moved on to blue, and now I'm on the pink! Every scent is awesome but my favorite is the orange for sure. Click this link for more info and reviews:

Okay, I've gone through one tube of this stuff already and bought two more as backups. This is the Super Rich Shower Cream from Bath & Body Works ($15 but they usually have a deal like buy 2 get 1 free, and trust me a little goes a long way; lasts forever!) and while it is meant to be a shower "gel" type of product, I use it for shaving. Because it has Shea butter, it is super moisturizing! I only use a nickel sized amount so the tube lasts a long time. I also love the product "Shave the Day" from Bath & Body works ($12) but I feel that I use that up too quickly, it has a much smaller amount of product than this shower cream. Check it out (smell it too, the scent grew on me) and be sure to get it when there's a deal!

I just finished this book last night. It is a quick, fun summer read! Grace is a strongly feminist woman who is conducting her dissertation about beauty and how it only leads to misery. Her Great Aunt Sophia is undergoing hip replacement surgery and asks that Grace watch over her for the summer as she recuperates. Great Aunt Sophia was a B list actress in her youth and Grace figures this will be a great opportunity to research her theory on beauty. Sophia sees it as an opportunity to mold Grace into a bombshell. Grace is reluctant but finds that Sophia's lessons about beauty and men might be worth the $20,000 Sophia offers if she follows through for the summer. Grace puts her lessons to the test on the stoic Dr. Andrew and also finds herself battling her heart and head with Declan, her polar opposite and everything she should despise in a man. While her head says to go for Dr. Andrew, her heart finds herself craving the adventure she finds with Declan. How will it turn out? Who does she choose? What happens to her theory? Read it to find out!

I actually use the CVS version of this face wash (same exact ingredients for less money!) but I have to tell you how gentle this facial cleanser is; gentle but effective. This cleanser washes off all of my makeup (even eye makeup!) in one cleansing without irritating my eyes or skin. It's that good! Highly recommend for any skin type, even sensitive skin!

This primer from Hard Candy is great. I have been using it for several months now. After I cleanse and moisturize my face, I put a small amount (pea size) onto my face. It glides on so smoothly and gives a great surface to work with when I apply makeup. Hard Candy is a great brand (I find it at Walmart) and I am really enjoying their products. Check it out!

Last week I took a walk into Lush (fresh handmade cosmetics). My goal was to re-purchase my BIG shampoo that has ocean sea salt. If you have a Lush near you, go in and ask for a sample, you'll love it. BIG scrubs your scalp so well, I use it once a week to get rid of any other residue from shampoos. While I was there the sales-woman was very sweet and was making me some samples to take home to try. She gave me a sample of "Rub Rub Rub" a sea salt and mimosa shower wash (as it describes). Sea salt and Mimosa? Sign me up! This scrub smells heavenly, just like the ocean (in a good way, not in a marshy way). I absolutely love it and I am almost done with my two samples. I am definitely going to purchase the full size. Highly recommend! To learn more about this product and Lush, click the link below and read reviews.
