Great Beauty Products
I know it has been a while, but it is the summer now and I have much more free time to write posts when I want to share different things with all of you!
Today I decided to do something a little different and spread the word about a product that I am IN LOVE with. It is by the company L'Occitane and it is their Shea Butter One Minute Hand Scrub. It was given as a gift to my mom by her friend and I found it in her bathroom one day and decided to give it a try. After one use, I was hooked. It left my hands feeling silky smooth and moisturized. I definitely do not rave about a product unless it is completely deserving of it and I promise that this product is absolutely amazing. If you have dry rough hands or want to pamper your hands definitely give this product a try! You will not be disappointed: I swear by it!
After I use the scrub I finish with L'Occitane's Hand Cream that is also amazing. It is thick and rich but not greasy. It will moisturize your hands thoroughly and keep them moisturized throughout the day. I have been using this hand cream for years and will never use anything else. Both of these products combined will leave you with incredibly soft and moisturized hands. Guaranteed! Both of the links to the products are below:

The next product I want to rave about is a mascara base by Lancome! It is called the "Cils Booster XL" Conditioning Mascara Base and comes in a white mascara tube. This product is fabulous. You put it on underneath any mascara and I promise it makes your lashes significantly thicker and longer. I originally received it as a sample at Sephora and tried it once and then returned to the store because I had to purchase it!
I have found that it works best underneath a Lancome brand mascara probably because the products were designed to work together, however, I have also used it underneath various drugstore mascaras and you can definitely see a difference with them as well! The product goes on as a white mascara basically and you wait about 30 seconds for it to dry and then layer black or brown mascara on top. I promise that you will see a difference after the first use. Definitely give this a try if you are looking to maximize the results of your mascara! The link is below:

Last but not least the final product that I would like to RAVE about is the St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse. Anyone that has used this self tanner before is definitely hooked. Not only is it EXTREMELY naturally looking color but it is easy to apply too! You apply it with the St. Tropez tanning mitt that comes free with the bottle of tanner and you can see exactly where you put it on your body. I usually apply it after I shower in the evening. You then leave the tanner on for at least 8 hours (I find it works better when you leave it on for at least 12 hours) and then shower it off. You are left with a beautiful and natural looking glow that is not streaky or orange looking at all. The only thing that you have to be careful about is not sweating or getting wet at all between the time you apply it and shower it off!
For me and my friends at Colgate, this is our best friend during the snowy upstate New York winters because sometimes we go months without seeing the sun! I highly recommend this product. They also recently came out with a "Dark" version of this bronzing mousse that is designed for those with naturally darker skin! I have used this shade before and even though I am relatively pale in the winter, I have applied it before formals and vacations and it still looks natural after it is washed off, just a little bit darker than the original mousse! Overall, for anyone who desires a natural looking tan that doesn't want to lay out in the sun or damage their skin at tanning booths, this is the way to go! It is a little pricey but well worth the money, I promise! You won't be disappointed! Below are the links to the Classic Bronzing Mousse and the Dark Bronzing Mousse as well!
