This spray is awesome! I was really nervous about spraying something on top of my makeup, but I actually really like it! It’s a weightless mist, that actually works! It keeps your makeup looking just as beautiful as when you first applied it!

Whether scouring the desert in search of handsome hunks (hello, Sex and the City 2, in theaters later this month!) or enjoying a few good songs and a round of cocktails, Skindinavia’s No More Shine Makeup Finish is the only over-makeup mattifier that gives you a healthy glow without any of the shine. (Go ahead, you can ditch all those powders and blotting papers! It’s an anytime product.)

This weightless mist cools makeup surface 20°F degrees to keep oil from sliding through as shine on foundation, blush, and concealer, keeping it from melting, smudging, creasing and sliding off for up to 16 hours.

Sure, you may not be traveling Abu Dhabi this summer, but that intense heat definitely mirrors a crowded sticky subway, a night of dancing, and that date on the beach. Fight back the elements and summer-proof your routine — with no need to purchase an entire new makeup kit! (Now available in 1oz pocket size, so it’s great for travel and will pass TSA inspection.)

Oily skin types can now have perfect makeup for hours with fewer touchups. Contains oil control system that both absorbs excess oil and controls surface shine. Stops makeup sliding and meltdown without excessive drying. Weightless mist cools makeup surface 20°F degrees to curtail oil from sliding through as shine on foundation, blush, and concealer. Light dispersing particles deflect shininess to deliver a matte look for up to 16 hours. Works with all types of makeup.

• Helps control shine and absorb excess oil
• Fewer required “touchups” throughout the day
• Helps reduce appearance of makeup smudging or creasing
• Helps reduce makeup slippage into pores, lines, wrinkles, or scars
• Save up to 50% of makeup usage
• Surface cooling technology holds temperature to avoid melting or sliding

Skindinavia now offers No More Shine as a 1oz. pocket size for $12.50.

I was sent a couple samples by the brand SK-II, which to be honest, I had never heard of before. But now that I know who they are – and have tried their products, I’m definitely going to be on the lookout for future products! I tried a couple face masks over the last week or so, and I absolutely LOVED them. They are so wonderful! With the mask on, you can immediately feel the difference! It’s just so relaxing, and calming! My skin thanked me afterwards!

Sun, sand and surf can be harsh on skin, but SK-II has a couple perfect products to help you prep your skin for summertime fun.

The NEW SK-II Facial Treatment UV SPF 25 is the advanced daily moisturizer that helps to shield the skin from everyday exposure of UV rays, while simultaneously pampering the complexion with Pitera, the exclusive ingredient found in all SK-II products, and moisturizers.

UV rays are responsible for more than 80% of premature skin aging. Facial Treatment UV Protection SPF 25 helps to protect the skin against these harmful rays and is essential to any ritual to maintain youthful looking, glowing skin.

Facial Treatment UV Protection SPF 25 is a fresh, lightweight cream that leaves the skin moisturized supple and most importantly, protected.

SK-II Skin Signature Mask is a two-piece stretchable mask with an innovative design to target critical sagging areas. In addition to the line’s key ingredient Pitera, the mask includes Oli-Vityl, the mask contains ingredients that encourage a relaxing, sensory experience, combined with other smoothing moisturizers.

SK-II Facial Treatment Mask is a relaxing, pampering, full facial cloth mask that provides an immediate moisture boosting treatment that brings a radiant and youthful glow tothe skin. It leaves skin feeling supple and smooth.

I absolutely LOVE these new shades by Barielle! I’m totally in love with the shade Belly Dance. I’ve worn it twice since I got it!

For summer 2010, boogie down with new disco-inspired nail polishes in the High Steppin’ collection from Shades by Barielle. Six metallic hues and Barielle’s signature healthy “3-free” formulation make hands and feet dance with style.

Flashing back to the 70’s, get groovy with Electric Boogie—an inky metallic blue with teal glitter; shake it up with Belly Dance—a nude taupe with shimmer; party until dawn with Night Moves—a sparkling metallic silver; turn it around with Passion Pirouette—a grape metallic purple; sway to the style with Slow Motion—a light metallic lavender and let loose with Freestyle—a cool metallic mint with silver glitter.

Celebrity Manicurist Elle says, “When creating this collection, we wanted to pump up the volume on nail hues. Inspired by bright summer whites, we injected some high-voltage color into any look from bikini to boardwalk.”

Formulated to provide nails with safe, healthy and long-lasting glossy color coverage, Shades by Barielle is free of formaldehyde, toluene and dibutyl-phthalate. Women can also safely use Barielle products throughout pregnancy.

Key Features: Contains no formaldehyde, toluene and dibutyl-phthalate.

Size: .5 fl oz/14.8 ml

Suggested Retail Price: $8.00

This sunscreen is ridiculous, it feels like buttah on my skin. It comes out as a super fine mist and after it absorbs my skin feels crazy soft. The first time I used Paula’s Choice  I walked around forcing people to feel my super soft skin. My husband laughed until he tried it then he fell in love with it too.  It provides great coverage so you aren’t left with missed spots that burnt. And because it feels so great on your skin their is no fighting my kids or hubby to use it.
