My Five Favorite Summer Essentials - Beauty & Fashion

Happy Summer friends! I hope yours is off to a good start. It's time for another round of
My Five Favorites, we're chatting about our favorite summer products. Friends are always
 my go-to for beauty product and fashion recommendations, and I'm anxious to see what
 these girls' must-haves are.  

Jennifer @ Dimples & Tangles

Our guest this month couldn't be sweeter or more perfect for our topic! Sheila @
Maison de Cinq is a former fashion stylist, and has a great eye for decor and all things
 home, as well. How beautiful is this cool, casual vibe she's created for her summer
 living room?



#1 - Rapid Lash

You guys NEED this, whatever the season! I've always had good eyelashes, but they
were gradually getting shorter. I checked with some friends and started searching
 reviews, which led me to this AWESOME, REASONABLY priced lash serum. My lashes
are SO long, and it only took a couple of weeks. I originally bought it at Ulta, with a coupon
 I found online, it ended up being $40, and then saw this deal at Costco - 2 for $49!
I'm still using my original tube I bought over 3 months ago and have skipped nights here
 and there.     




#2 - Fresh Soy Face Cleanser

This is my favorite cleanser that easily removes all of my favorite mascara and has
a refreshing, soothing cucumber extract. The smell makes me feel like I'm at a spa. :)
This cleanser is a little pricey but it goes a long way. I was first introduced when I received
 it as a gift, when I went to get a replacement at Sephora they said it was their best selling
 cleanser. The smaller size ($15) is fun to tie on a special gift (perfect for any age) or for a
 hostess gift. 

#3 - Forever 21 Studded Slide Sandal 

  The perfect chic but inexpensive sandal to wear to the pool or beach. I hate my nice 
sandals getting dirty but I still like to wear something prettier than $1 flip flops. I love
the Valentino Rockstud look of these without the $700 price tag.
 Available in black or white.


#4 - Target Kona Mules

4.5 STARS - 107 REVIEWS
If I wear something new I judge the cuteness factor by how many compliments I
get. Haha! These super comfortable Target mules are perfect Gucci knock offs and are
 off the chart on compliments. I always tell people they're from Target, I really thought one
 stranger was going to hug me, she was beside herself excited to get a pair. 
They're available in Black, White, Red & Silver.  

(The photo on Target website is SO poor, they don't look like someone dumped 
a bottle of glitter on them, they look like photo below)


#5 - H & M Floral Skirt

This lightweight watercolor pattern skirt is easy, breezy and so versatile. I've worn mine
 with a fitted knotted white t-shirt and fun tassel earrings. Perfect dressed up or down.

My Five Favorites - Beauty Products

Hi friends, hope you've had a wonderful summer, in my book it's not officially
 over until the first day of fall. We're still embracing beautiful weather, al fresco
 dining, and soaking up every last bit of summer activities. It's time for another
 edition of My Five Favorites, this month we're dishing on Beauty/Fashion.
I love finding tried and true, new to me products and can't wait to see what my
 blogging pals are sharing today! 

Jennifer @ Dimples & Tangles

I've known this month's guest, Cindy @ Rough Luxe Lifestyle, for several years she
 is the BIGGEST sweetheart, and classy and cute as can be. She's one of those people
that's true to her own style, be it fashion or interior design, and has a great eye for pulling
 together the prettiest combinations. You'll love checking out her current outfit inspiration,
 home and garden, or her latest meal and table setting when she's entertaining (like the one
 at her home below) ~ she's always an inspiration!


Here are my favs:

#1 Makeup

Depending on the product sometimes I spend more, but generally I'm a drug store makeup
girl. I've used both of these forever - Revlon Photoready Airbrush Foundation
& L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara
The foundation gives nice coverage but doesn't feel too heavy, and the mascara makes
my lashes look long and full, doesn't clump ~ pretty simple requirements.
 I noticed this cute blogger and this one, both recommended the same mascara recently.


 #2 Makeup Remover

I remember reading about Pure Jojoba oil on a blog or Pinterest about a year ago and thought
 I'd give it a try. I've ditched all the other makeup removers I had, and it's now my go to.
It easily removes my favorite mascara and feels so hydrating. And, it washes out of my
 white washcloths nicely. I buy it at our local natural foods market.


#3 Facial Scrub

My friend brought this Andalou Lemon Sugar Facial Scrub to my Favorite Things Christmas
 Party last year. Aren't recommendations from friends the best?! I keep it in the shower, it's
a nice exfoliate that's gentle enough to use a couple times a week, and has a light lemon
 scent. I buy mine at our local natural foods market, Sprouts.


#4 Body Lotion

I hate to mention it, but dry winter skin will be here before we know it. :(
My dermatologist recommended AmLactin Body Lotion years ago, it's not heavy or greasy,
the alpha-hydroxy acid exfoliates and leaves my skin feeling so much better during our
our dry Colorado winters, and it's available at Costco.


#5 Hair Conditioner
   
A few years ago I was out of town visiting a friend and had forgotten my conditioner,
I asked if she had some I could borrow, she introduced me to it's a 10. 
It's a leave in conditioner that gets amazing reviews all across the board. There are
several varieties so check which works for your hair type - I like the extra nourishing
ingredients in this one since I have thick natural curly, color treated hair. 
  I like the convenient spray, and a little goes a long way. 


Bonus!

 I received these Every Drop Makeup Spatulas last year at my Favorite Things Christmas Party.
They're the best! It's crazy how much product is left in the container, the long handle can
 reach all size moisturizer and makeup bottles. The smaller spatula is perfect for lipstick and
 gloss. I love to tie them onto girlfriend gifts. These are from The Container Store, but I've 
seen similar at Target & Bed, Bath & Beyond.   



Be sure and check out these talented friends' favs:

TGIF - The Gems I Found


Happy Friday friends!
Some of you may be getting TGIF on Saturday, we had no Internet for 36 hours.
After troubleshooting on the phone for an hour with no luck I knew the dreaded,
"We'll have to send someone from our technical team out." was next.
I was, oh so happy to have been offered the 7am slot! Seriously.
It's amazing how a simple Internet connection can put a bounce in your step! :)

Apt Envy
An inspiring story of how a woman reinvented her home (Craigslist played a big part)
 and life, and lost 45 lbs after divorce. Did you recognize the Ikea Billy bookcases flanking
 the fireplace?  
 
(Please share source if known) 
I'm itching to start planting and love walking out my back door and clipping fresh herbs.
Here's a perfect list of what to plant how to grow it.

When my gorgeous mature friend (that looks 29) shared her favorite skin care products 
I couldn't click over fast enough.   


Stella and Dot
 Perfect for traveling - this lightweight convertible sarong goes from swimsuit cover up
 to infinity scarf.

I'd consider myself a pro when it comes to shopping at HomeGoods & TJ Maxx, :)
 but I learned a few new tricks from
