Fashion Pulse Flash: Clinique, Dove Deodorant, Soap & Glory, more

dove advanced care anti-perspirant_deodorant

Dove Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant went for a ride, and I mean I ride, this week. It was with me at spin class, barre, and yoga, and worked equally as hard at all of them to keep the 48-hour protection at a maximum while multi-functioning to keep underarm skin at the optimal soft and smooth status (thanks to Wantable for the sweet workout gear!). Available in 10 scent options (one of which is for sensitive skin/unscented), choose from the two new scents (Original Clean, Powder Soft), or stick with an old favorite (for me, that’s Cool Essentials and Caring Coconut), but either way, the benefits are the same. All include Dove’s signature NutriumMoisture formula combined with humectants to help the skin lock in the moisture, plus sunflower seed oil and stearic acid to help with skin cells’ turnover process. Last, the softer, smoother underarm skin can appear in as little as three days, while Dove’s Advanced Care Clear Tone line has the addition of calendula to help with evening out the skin tone (available in Clear Tone Pink Rose, Clear Tone Skin Renew, and Clear Tone Sheer Touch). Each Advanced Care product retails at mass food and drug retailers nationwide, at $4.99-$6.49 each.

butter LONDON + Fashion Pulse Daily Celebrate its Anniversary

I’m thrilled to be the featured influencer today as part of butter LONDON‘s 10 year anniversary. My favorite product and hue from the brand that’s being highlighted is the nail lacquer in “Fiver,” a delightfully opaque minty creme shade that is perfect for the warmer months ahead. Pair it with red-orange, white, or dove grey shades that will provide a nice contrast of color. I’m wearing it on my nails this week and pairing it with some of my favorite sparkly baubles. Although I am clearly partial to mint, it’s one of those colors that simply put, looks AMAZING on a wide swath of skin tones, so it’s a no-brainer when it comes to picking up a bottle of it for the season!

Alongside of my feature on the site  (click here to check out my interview and beauty tips), use code “FAMILY15” for today only, to get the Fiver shade for just $10!

Oils here, oils there, oils everywhere! I’d like to think that I’ve been ahead of the curve by slathering on olive  and coconut oils to my face for years, but in actuality, this technique is hundreds, if not thousands of years old. It’s true that oils can impart great hydration suitable for all skin types, even oily ones. The key is to first apply in moderation and see how your skin adapts/reacts to it, and be sure to lightly press, not rub, it into the skin.

Nowadays, there’s a ton of options including a great mix of oils available such as argan, coconut, olive, primrose, chia seed, passion fruit, lemongrass, Balanites roxburghii seed, lavender, rosehip seed, sweet almond, sunflower, and jojoba oils. The best part is that these items are also available at prices for every budget, starting as low as $10 and going up to $300. If you’re really into using oils on your face, you may want to try them for your body too, or check out a cleansing oil product as well. See the slideshow above for some of my absolute favorites.
