Don’t Let Summer End Without Trying This: the BIC Soleil Balance Razor

At this point in my life, I have yet to be “razor loyal,” which in essence, means that I’ve tried quite a variety of different brands and have never consistently settled on one that I’m truly dedicated to. If you don’t believe me, you can bear witness to a drawer in the bathroom that has become a razor handle graveyard of sorts. This brings me to the BIC Soleil Balance Razors, which come in a pack of two and are considered to be disposable after they’ve run their course (aka no handle leftovers).

These are by far, the easiest, nicest disposable razors I’ve ever used! The moisture bar with Shea butter means I can use it without having to apply shaving cream, and as I am short on time these days, every second of time I gain back is a win in my book! I hate to say it but I think I’m now spoiled with the ease of the flexible blades and moisture bar for an ultra smooth shave!

The BIC Soleil Balance Razor comes in a two-pack and is available for $5.99 at mass merchandise food and drug stores such as Target.

Don’t Let Summer End Without Trying This: Jane Iredale’s Lip Drink Lip Balm with SPF 15

by Julia DiNardo

I love, love love Jane Iredale, and use something from the brand, be it usually eyeshadow or eye primer, every single day. The Lip Drink Lip Balm ($17, JaneIredale.com) in Sheer has been in steady rotation for the past few years, and I was thrilled when shades were added to the lineup.

The brand now welcomes its latest color, Tease (pictured above), a shimmery plum brown which is a nice addition to the collection and provides a bit of spice to your late summer look. As always, it features a lemon flavor and includes green tea extract, carrot seed and avocado oils, Vitamins E and C, and a bit of SPF! Also of note from the brand is the new TripleLuxe Long Lasting Naturally Moist Lipsticks, 15 creamy to matte shades that feature Moringa oil and a Tahitian vanilla and blackberry flavor and fragrance.

Don’t Let Summer End Without Trying This: The Goody QuikStyle Paddle Hair Brush

by Julia DiNardo

For me, summer is both amazing and overwhelming at the same time; there’s just so much to cram in during so little time! Before the first gusts of crisp fall air are upon us, be sure to check out a few of these late summer items that I will be sharing in the coming weeks that, simply put, have been giving me LIFE lately!

As a new mom, it’s hard to give any part of me the TLC it deserves, and sadly that includes haircare. The rule of thumb these days are if it’s going to be done, it’s GOTTA BE FAST! This goes for skincare and nailcare as well. Luckily, the Goody® QuikStyle™ Paddle Hair Brush ($9.99, Target.com) gets it. This vented brush helps me move through my blow drying much faster than I had ever imagined; it includes microfiber bristles to absorb water while the nylon bristles brush out the nattiness that occurs when I skip the conditioner. I had this brush years ago and loved it, and the new and improved version includes antimicrobial technology to aid the brush in staying clean and an ergonomic handle for better grip. Now if only there was a product that styled my hair for me while I brushed my teeth…

According to my mom I was “born to shop,” so of course it’s only natural that I wait with baited breathe every year for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale to roll around! What makes this sale so extraordinary is not only the fact that it comes from one of the best departments stores out there, but also because it defies the meaning of the word ‘sale,’ which we normally equate to items that have been sitting in the store for a while and need to be moved off of the selling floor. Nordstrom is different in that it features brand-new arrivals from popular brands that are for a limited time, marked down, as well as featuring items created specifically for the big sale event.

[La Prairie Skin Caviar Indulgences Set, $350- Nordstrom.com]

In looking at the beauty department, the store has 450 Beauty Exclusives from top brands included, with some of my favorites such as

[Le Labo Santal 33 & Rose 31 Travel Spray Duo, $95- Nordstrom.com]

complimentary beauty touchups, beauty and skincare advice and a special tote w/ purchases over $125.), and Glam Out Days that will have free samples, gifts,and more from top beauty and fragrance brands. Enjoy the 2018 Anniversary Sale, and as always, Nordstrom has free in-store samples AND free shipping online!
