Waterproof And Wonderful

Sadly yes, summer is almost over, but don't say goodbye to these products yet.  Winter is right around the corner, and why not put them to use for a few rain drops or snow days.

HOURGLASS BRONZER / LANCOME WATERPROOF MASCARA / BROWZA WATERPROOF EYEBROW PENCIL / ARIANE DUTZI HANDMADE CLUTCH At BEACH HOUSE BRAND

Away we went on one last summer jaunt.  I headed to Sephora for a few last minute waterproof   goodies. I try to keep it simple and quick when in and out of the water.  We are an on-th-go family when it comes to summer activities, and having just a few dependable products makes a big difference. 

I wore Lancôme's waterproof black mascara from morning to night, and it has a great brush to give a full, long lash effect.  My lashes are short, very light, and if I don't tint them they are pretty much invisible.  I can honestly say this mascara didn't smear or flake from the time I jumped in the water, until I showered for dinner.

Along with my light eyelashes emerge my eyebrows.  I wish I would have found this at the beginning of summer.  BROWZA -  and it does exactly what it says on the box - Wows your brows.  This gel pencil goes on so smooth, like a felt tip marker,  It has a brush on the other end for shaping, and yes... it's waterproof and sweat-proof.  This was a great find.

This ambient HOURGLASS lighting bronzer fuses the illuminating effects of ambient lighting powder with shades of bronzer to create that natural glow. It really gives a beautiful, and even glow to your skin.

Garden Of Delight

The scent of your perfume can always bring back memories every time you wear it. You probably are already known for your "smell."   A garden can be magical when you see it, the aroma from the bouquets create an instant tranquility. Mademoiselle Channel liked white flowers that were well-defined and sensual.  Chanel Gardenia will fill the air with green notes, gardenia, and vanilla.  Gardenia was launched in 1925

B V L V A R I  /  I wear this perfume almost everyday, it's so fresh and delicate.  Sourced on a base note of green tea leaves, which are know for their healing and relaxing properties.  You will smell the bergamot, orange blossom, rose, jasmine, smoked wood, and green tea.  Throughout the day, the prettier the fragrance becomes.  Launched in 1992 /  Jo Malone Red Roses /  Never have I smelled a perfume that is so "spot-on" to roses as this one.  Filled with lemon, mint, violet and the Bulgarian rose.  You are instantly standing in the middle of a rose garden when you inhale the beauty of this perfume.  Launched in 2001

Trish McEvoy Gardenia Musk /  Base notes for this delicate, and feminine scent are musk, touch of amber, and white woods. The gardenia petals, freesia blossoms, and honeysuckle create a sensuous cloud.  I find the gardenia is difficult to recreate, and musk can be overpowering, but don't let the musk scare you away.  Gardenia Musk is beautiful. / Jour d'Hermes Gardenia Hermes /  You will find scents of tuberose, rose and jasmine, and of course gardenia.  There is a bit of a 'spice'  I catch in this fragrance. I love the way the scent will warm up with your natural body oils as the day goes on.

B V L G A R I Sachet / Place the tea bag in your hot bath and immerse yourself into pure relaxiation.  Deodorant -  Shampoo and Hair conditioner.  You will love the aroma of your hair as soon as you step out of the shower.  Feel beautiful, feminine and sensual... because you are.  Keep creating your memories, and attach them to a scent.  When you want to remember that moment, wear that perfume.  It's the little things.  Have a beautiful scent filled day!
