Summer is an AMAZING season for so many reasons (BBQs, heading to the shore, street festivals!), but the heat and humidity also means you may have to do some extra beauty maintenance. I was inspired by several new products from one of my favorite brands, Dove, to prepare for, and mask and cure some warm-weather specific beauty challenges.
Here are the three challenges, followed by the three products that can help:
Too Much Sun Exposure Results in Scaly, Dry, Moisture-Deprived Skin: Switch up your current soap and/or body wash, and give the Dove VisibleCare Toning Crème Body Wash ($7.49) a try instead! The formula is specially created to aid the skin’s elasticity and strength, while the ultra-creamy body wash has the highest concentration of Dove’s special NutriumMoisture technology with Vitamin E. Plus it promises an improved skin look in just one week-score!

I recently attended the Sally Beauty event “The Art of Color” which featured some amazing new products across the hair, nail, and makeup categories. Some of my favorites are pictured above and below, and are simply perfect for bumping up your on-trend, beauty quotient for evenings and weekends.
I’m in LOVE with the Beyond the Zone Color Buzz (pictured above, $9.99) — a temporary hair chalk that washes right out! Try the dip-dye look on your ends, without the commitment of vibrant color. Continue reading…

Is age really just a number? I think, it depends, on how great you look and feel to determine if that really rings true. So let’s focus on the ‘look’ part; what if you had the opportunity to radically improve your skin’s appearance via two incredible Super Serums, Lancôme Génifique and Lancôme Visionnaire, courtesy of Lancôme? I think it’s safe to say that pretty much every woman I know would be jumping up and down in excitement! It’s extremely easy to try the Super Serums from Lancôme for free – all you need to do is head to Lancôme via this link to get an invitation for your samples, print, and redeem at your nearest Lancôme counter. Make the foray toward proven, amazing results with your perfect partners for younger-looking skin. So what are the Super Serums duo exactly?
- Lancôme Génifique Concentrate is the award-winning activating serum targeting radiance, vibrancy and softness. Génifique provides a visibly younger skin in just 7 days.
- Lancôme Visionnaire is the award-winning correcting serum; in only 4 weeks, Visionnaire radically improves the appearance of wrinkles, pores, and uneven texture, leaving your skin visibly transformed.
- The result: So noticeable that one out of two women tempted by a cosmetic procedure actually decided to postpone it.* By utilizing both of these products together, greatness can be achieved – start by applying one to three drops of Génifique to cleansed skin, followed with two pumps of Visionnaire. Then continue with your regular moisturizer, beauty balm, powder, and/or foundation. For best results, use Génifique and Visionnaire together in both the morning and evening.
*After 4 weeks of consumer use. Consumer evaluations of women 35 to 49 years tempted by hyaluronic acid, laser or chemical peeling. Results not equal to a medical procedure

Not sure if you know how to execute this makeup trend? Check out the Stella McCartney runway show for some makeup inspiration. Also, take a tip from the pros by keeping the rest of your eyes pretty bare. For a less intense look, try only wearing the colored mascara on the top lashes and keeping the lips slightly matte in a lighter, neutral shade.
Which Great Lash color will you try?
