The thing I probably love most about summer is the 'sun-kissed' appearance to one's skin. In high school I was obsessed with tanning. I did not spend every day in the tanning booth because it was so expensive but I did spend tons of time in the sun at the beach. Of course I made sure to protect my skin which is extremely important! No matter how well you tan or don't tan, wear sunblock!
Now that I have a child, tanning is the last thing on my mind. Money for tanning beds? Nope. Bikini ready body? Absolutely NOT. Not to mention with the ridiculous heat we have been experiencing, I spend most of my time indoors. So how can I get this sun-kissed glow I look forward to each year? Easy!
All it takes is some lotion! (and a little bronzer)
My 'Beauty Closet' as I like to call it is filled with lotions I have bought from those Bath and Body Works and Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual Sales. I just can't get enough!! Of course they sit there because I buy a ridiculous amount so this is a perfect way to put them to use!
Grab a bottle of your favorite lotion; scented, unscented, whatever.
Pick a bronzer for less than $3 from a drugstore. N.Y.C. makes awesome bronzers for $2.99
Find an empty, clean jar and scrape your bronzer into it.
Fill the jar with your fav lotion
Mix it up for about 5-10 min. You want to mix well and get all the chunks of bronzer out
Apply to skin and VOILA!
Bronze Babe
Now I like to put the lotion back into the container because I like the pump dispenser but that is optional.
I have been doing this all summer and it gives me an awesome sun-kissed glow without having to spend tons of money or bare my skin to the sun!
Try it out :)

Youth Surge Night Age Decelerating Moisturizer
I wanted to do a review on this moisturizer that I am obsessed with and have been using for about a year now. It is Clinique's Youth Surge Night Age Decelerating Moisturizer and [for my skin type] it is in dry/combination skin.
*Very quickly, dry-combination just means I have dry cheeks and oily T-zone, versus oily combination is oily cheeks and dry T-zone*
Youth Surge Night is a line of Clinique that replaced the Repairwear Night Cream. The purpose of this cream is to promote natural collagen production, diminish and prevent lines and wrinkles, and moisturize your skin. In the morning, your skin feels refreshed and rejuvenated. It is a night cream because it does not contain SPF and it aids the nightly skin repair cycle.
I know I am only 22 years old, but I started using anti-wrinkle creams and serums the DAY I turned 20! The time to prevent this is now, because once it happens there is no preventing, just trying to reduce.
I honestly do not think anyone is too young to try to prevent wrinkles. Even though I am in my early 20s I do not see any wrinkles yet therefore I will keep using this cream.
It is very rich in texture but not overly thick like some anti-wrinkle creams. All of Clinique's products are hypo-allergenic and fragrance free, so there is no smell to this. My face always feels refreshed when I apply this cream and my skin feels more plump every morning!
Try it for sure!

BIC Soleil Savvy Razor
This will be my first blog post on my beauty page and I decided to make it a review!
I recently became a BzzAgent and I LOVE IT! As an agent I receive free samples and products in the mail from companies to try in exchange for my HONEST opinion. Pretty awesome!
The product I will be reviewing is the BIC Soleil Savvy Razor. I received it in the mail this morning and IMMEDIATELY jumped in the shower to try it out.
The razor has 3 flexible blades and comes with 4 cartridge refills. They are very easy to remove and attach a new one. The handle also has a rubber grip so it is easier to glide.
After using this for the first time, I noticed my legs were not as itchy as they usually are. I DO use a shaving cream (Skintimate for Sensitive Skin) and even with that my legs are ALWAYS itchy after I dry off. But this time they weren't, so maybe the lubricating strips on it really worked!
I would definitely recommend this product because it would last you a month (if you change out your blades weekly, if you do it every other week then thats 2 months!) So worth your money !
Still unsure? E-mail me for a $3 off COUPON* !
*limited supply; first come, first serve
