Sonia Kashuk Self-Tanning Towelettes for Face

I'm a huge fan of self-tanning towelettes, so when I came across these Sonia Kashuk Self-Tanning Towelettes at Target, I didn't even think twice about buying them.  I use a variety of self-tanners in the summer, but I'm always a little leery of using one on my face.  The color needs to be natural and not streaky.

Summer Hair: Fast and Fabulous!

Summer's here and one thing is for certain--you want hair that looks good, is easy to maintain and can stand up to extremes of sunlight, high humidity, chlorine...the works, right?  No worries--here are some of the best summer hair products to help you get the look!

Celebrity hair stylist Kristin Ess of Chris McMillan Salon is the woman behind Lauren Conrad's new summer color.  "Lauren's "Ombre" color starts with a low volume smudge which only stays on for 15 minutes and takes her natural color to a slightly warmer more golden tone. Then I carefully applied a baby highlight around the hairline. And last, free handed highlights that get heavier toward the bottom, creating a more natural, believable, beachy summer blonde." Gorgeous!

Travel tested: Lands End Canvas Collection Route 63 Snap Tote

 

Next to shopping for makeup, I love handbags and jewelry.  So when I was given the opportunity to try out the Route 63 Snap Tote bag from the new Land's End Canvas Collection, I jumped at the chance.  I'm always on the hunt for a great tote bag and with an upcoming vacation, I knew it would be a great opportunity to give this bag a real-world test run.  This is a bag that could easily be used as a daily tote to carry to the office or wear casually on the weekends while you're running errands or going to the beach. 

Great new find! Vaseline Sheer Infusion with Stratys-3 Body Lotion

 

New Vaseline Sheer Infusion™ with Stratys-3™ redefines body lotion with new a new innovation in moisturizing called Stratum-3.  For skin to function and look and feel its best, skin needs care at the top, core and deep down. Some moisturizers only treat the top layers - leaving it feeling heavy and sticky; others quickly sink through quickly and your skin is not thoroughly moisturized.

So how does it work?  Vaseline® Sheer Infusion™ with Stratys-3™ is the biggest breakthrough in body lotion in over 10 years. It is the only body lotion designed  to infuse and suspend moisture across all layers (top, core and deep down) of the stratum corneum, or surface skin, which is comprised of three layers.  The payoff is twice the moisture and an unmatched silky skin feel compared to leading everyday body lotions.
