AUGUST BEAUTY FAVORITES

Diptyque Fragrance Gestures Line: this luxe, cult-favorite brand (that you know and love for their candles) recently delved into the land of body mousse, oils, soaps, and lotions. The result? Beautifully scented products, with a high end feel. My favorite product:Eau Rose Shower Foam. This stuff is pretty cool, it's dispensed as a gel then quickly turns into a lathering foam. It smells of roses and lychee, and makes your skin so soft.  They also have small perfume rollers that are great for popping in your purse or keeping in your makeup bag. Miami locals can check out the new line at their local BCC location.

Glytone: Although I generally shy away from the sun, it's almost impossible to completely avoid it during the summer. I always use an SPF but even then, some discoloration inevitably peaks through. Enter Glytone, an the Enhance Brightening Complex + Night Renewal Cream. This duo fights to combat those pesky sun spots and helps give a more even and youthful complexion. I really like both of these products and keep them on my nightstand. They have improved the texture of my skin and have helped reduce the look of the more prominent forehead wrinkles. I've not seen any reduction in brown spots, however, the Glytone team advises that a steady, twelve week use will reveal a brighter and more even complexion. Stay tuned!


Colgate: My friends at Colgate never let me down. Whenever I notice my smile getting a bit dull, I always use Colgate products.  Colgate Optic White Radiant Toothpaste has been an Allure Best of Beauty Winner, a Women's Health and Beauty Award recipient. The results are proven, time and time again. The best part? You don't have to wait a lifetime or pay a bunch of money for a whiter smile.

Bobbi Brown Radiance Boost Mask: my skin has been acting out this summer, more than I care to discuss -_-  This Bobbi Brown mask is quick (3-5 minutes), smells citrusy, and contains finely milled walnut granules. As you wash it off, you gently exfoliate your skin. Afteward, your skin glows! I follow this mask up with one of my favorite beauty oils, by Korres. 

Bioderma: When I ran out of this and tried to substitute something else, my skin totally missed it. This is one of the best micellar waters I've used. At the end of the day, it's super easy to take a cotton round, swipe some of this all over your face, and done. Makeup off. I use the one for sensitive skin and buy directly from Beautylish.com.
