Giveaway Break - Sweet Beauty Organic Chocolate Lip Balm

Got a sweet tooth? Want to fulfill your craving without the calories? Sweet Beauty Spa makes the most delicious chocolate lip balms that will moisturize your lips and put your sweet tooth aside. With flavors like Inspire (mocha) and Indulge (extra dark chocolate), it almost feels sinful to use!

Lisa Francoise, founder and owner of Sweet Beauty Organic Chocolate Spa Treatments, has a philosophy based on three simple statements:

- If you wouldn't eat it, don't wear it on your skin

- Beauty products should be a natural way for you to feel good.

- Almost nothing makes you feel better than chocolate

Lisa uses organic, fair trade chocolate instead of chocolate by-products to formulate her delicious products. You can shop for Sweet Beauty Spa products online, or you can see if there is a Sweet Beauty Spa near you!

Makeup Break - Pur Minerals Eye Defining Pencils

Perfect for these summer months, Pur Minerals Eye Defining Pencils offer a gorgeous array of mineral colours to choose from. State-of-the-art, mechanical, self-sharpening, waterproof, smudge-resistant eye colour. Comes with a perfect smudge-tip applicator for blending and creating a dramatic, smoky eye. Glides on beautifully and resists bleeding even when wet. Never wonder where your eye makeup went again! Mineral Eye Defining Pencils wear all day without any creasing or fading. Oily lids have found their answer to crease-proof lining!

Pür-fect Use:
Turn the barrel gradually to expose only the amount of product necessary. Apply pencil with short strokes, starting from the inner eye and working towards the corners for a long-lasting effect. Beautiful above and below the lashes. To achieve a smoky effect, lightly smudge pencil strokes to reveal a softer, more sultry finish. Be sure to keep cover on when not in use
to avoid drying your pencil out.

What's in my Beach Bag? - Volume V

I want these in my beach bag! Havaianas Glow in the Dark flip flops are perfect for summer nights - I will never lose my flippy floppies in the dark again! $28

In my efforts to avoid sun damage, sunburn and wrinkles, I've been trying to load up on sunscreen religiously. But what's summer without some color? I finally found a self tanner that doesn't smell like metal! Xen Tan smells delicious, and stays smelling delicious, throughout the day. The Transform formula shows color almost immediately and goes on pretty even. It's a daily moisturizer with the most advanced gradual tanner on the market. I have minor streaks here and there, but I think that it's impossible to be totally even with self tanner.

As always, exfoliate before applying and wash your hands after application!
