    Default Summer Skincare/Makeup Finds...

    I've recently discovered some great makeup and skincare products, I thought I would share with you guys, and if anyone has found something good, please tell me about it! I'm always looking for better products!

    Nars Body Illuminator - I LOVE Nars products because they are all geared towards darker or yellow based skin tones instead of beige. This is a basically a body makeup. It's a lotion that dries and stays put, not creamy or containing any oils, it's on the dry side, but gives your skin a dramatic dark shimmer/glow. I have been searching over the years for a really good body makeup like this, and I finally found it! I used to use Victoria's Secret Beyond Bronze, if anyone remembers that, and it would make me look BLACK, I loved it, but it's long gone. I also used to use Maybelline Dream Glow in the darkest shade, but that is also discontinued. This is damn close to both, but more natural. This is perfect to wear to work or out at night, it's a deep brown/bronze/golden shade, NOT pink, which I LOVE! It seems like every time I find a body makeup like this, it's not near dark enough, and way too pink or rosy, this one has absolutely no pink or beige in it at all, so if you have fair beige tones, you probably won't like it, if you have yellow or olive, you'll love it!

    Lancome Eye Shadow Palette - I saw these and immediately had to buy one, the colors are GORGEOUS in person... I purchased the Bronze Amour, and I really love it. Typically, I only like Lancome's mascaras and one of their foundations, but this is a way above average product. The eye shadows coordinate together, and come with directions on how to apply them to give you a professional look. The colors are VERY shimmery, which I love, and great to wear to work. They are almost as shimmery and as MAC pigments. They are vibrant and so finely milled, almost creamy, so they blend better than any eye shadow I've ever found. This is perfect for someone who wants to learn to contour and highlight with eyeshadow, all the colors are there and directions where and how to apply them.

    Murad Sun Undone - I just started this regimen yesterday, I'm excited to see what results I get! The products looks promising, the night serum has 2% hydroquinone in it, and the rest of the products are vitamin C based. I am determined to get rid of this hyperpigmentation! I'm taking photos of my complexion every day, and I will update you guys on what I think about my results.....

    Boyfriend perfume - I love this.... I didn't at first, but the scent is so intriguing, you just can't stop smelling your wrist! It really grows on you..... smells so unique, almost like a man's cologne, but not. Very heavy patchouli and sandalwood, with amber and vanilla. wood and spice. I typically love Calvin Klein Euphoria, Armani Code, Bvlgari Jasmine Noir, Angel, YSL Belle Opium, and I would put this in the same category. It's NOT summery, but I love it.

    Shikai Sandalwood Lotion - I've been layering this lotion with the above perfume, and they go perfect together! I typically don't like heavy sandalwood, but this like a light, feminine version, smells amazing! I love love love Shikai products, used them forever, the ingredient list is great, they are VERY high quality for a cheap price.

    Products that SUCK!:

    Clinique Repairwear - used a few times and immediately returned it! First of all, the ingredients list is not impressive at all. No major proven ingredients, all chemicals and silicones. Also, it broke me out! And nothing EVER breaks me out! But this stuff felt like pure pore clogging silicone on my face, not moisturizing at all, if anything it suffocated my skin, clogged my pores, and dried it out! Clinique never fails to disappoint me....

    Ooooh I really want #1!! Maybe I can get away with it after a few weeks when I'm really dark. I really want to smell the Boyfriend perfume too.

    I want to try that Body Illuminator too! I used to love the NARS body glow oil, but the idea of a non-greasy lotion sounds more appealing.

    I agree on Clinique...a lot of people swear by it but the ingredients really turn me off.

    I want to try the new Honey shade of Fresh's sugar lip balm. I have the Rose color and that stuff is so buttery and smooth it's amazing.

    Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia dry body oil. This stuff smells sooo good! Fresh yet slightly musky smelling. The scent is long lasting. Even better with the Nectarine Blossom cologne layered over it.

    I'm super in love with these rice paper oil blotting tissues from Palladio. They looks like a package of rolling papers and I keep them with me at all times. You can use it with make up or not. One side you can use if you aren't wearing make up, the other has rice powder on it and will soak up the oil and put your make up back to a matte look without having to reapply powder or anything.

    I love this thread.

    Marc Jacobs Perfume: Daisy Eau So Fresh: I have never tried this perfume, but I just fell in love with the packaging. Also, I've read the descriptions and from what I've read, it's a light girly floral scent, so I already know I would love it. Here is the link: http://www.sephora.com/browse/produc...categoryId=B70
    Is this not the cutest packaging ever?

    Also, I've loved these MAC pigments ever since they came out: http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/...ent/index.tmpl but it sold out right away. If anyone has this and would like to sell it, PM me.

    Also, just curious: Is Nars Orgasm Blush and Nars Laguna Bronzer as great as everyone claims it is or is it just a fad? I just find it kind of strange that everyone seems so obsessed with these products.
