In a blink of the eye, Spring has
disappeared. Summer has now kicked into high gear with daily bouts of
crystal blue skies, warm to steamy hot temperatures, bright and cheery
sunshine, balmy breezes, and all-things outdoors. As we continue
transitioning from one season to another, finding new product discoveries to
make that transition all the more enjoyable is what my latest edition is all
about. My latest product finds are sure to please, and include 29 Lydia
Mondavi, Jane Iredale, La Roche Posay, Crabtree & Evelyn, and Models Own
Makeup. Enjoy!

29 Lydia Mondavi Cosmetics First Crush
Lip Scrub ~ This Lip Scrub gently exfoliates away dead skin cells, leaving the lips
silky smooth, and drenched with hydration. Key ingredients include Grape Seed Oil, Coconut Oil, Apricot Seed Powder, Sweet Almond Oil,
Jojoba Seed Oil, Vitamin E, and Shea Butter. For more information, visit http://www.29bylydiamondavi.com; products are also available at Target stores and online; https://www.target.com
Jane Iredale Magic Mitt ~ This truly is a Magic
Mitt. It’s made from superfine micro-fibers
that delicately remove makeup without requiring any type of cleanser; all
that’s needed is warm water, which activates the micro-fibers. The Magic
Mitt leaves skin super clean; it also gently exfoliates, leaving the skin silky
to the touch. For more information, visithttps://janeiredale.com
La Roche Posay Thermal Spring
Water ~ This Spring Water is a great way to
rehydrate and refresh the face and neck areas throughout the day, especially
when heat and humidity assault delicate skin.
The only ingredient in this product is Selenium-rich Pure
Water; Selenium is a natural mineral and antioxidant. My Tip: Chill the container in the
refrigerator before using; when you need a refreshing pick-me-up, spritz away
next time you’re uncomfortably warm or hot; great minimizing “hot
flashes”. For

Crabtree & Evelyn Classic Rosewater Body
Lotion ~ This is a delicate moisturizer
that has a subtle and scent of Centifolia
Rose, a hybrid flower that can have as many as fifty to one-hundred
delicate and lightly scented petals; the delicate scent also exemplifies
Summer. Key ingredients include Rosa Centifolia Water, Vitamin E, and
Glycerin. The Body Lotion was quickly absorbed without leaving any greasy or
tacky residue; the skin felt silky to the touch and looked healthier. For more information, visit http://www.crabtree-evelyn.com

Models Own Sculpt & Glow Highlighter
Stick in Moonlight and Barely There Eyeshadow Palette~ Whether it’s the color of the clothes you wear, or the
colors of your makeup, Summer requires a gentler, softer approach, with a muted
and subdued color palette. Both the Highlighter Stick and Eyeshadow Palette
are the perfect Summer makeup colors for the au natural look, or to subtly
accentuate a beautiful tan. The Highlighter Stick gave the perfect hint
of shimmer to checks, eyes, or décolletage, while imparting a soft
amount of hydration. Key ingredients
include Rosa Canina Oil, Vitamin E,
Vitamin A, Grape Vine Oil, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Aloe Leaf Extract,
and Coconut Oil. The Eyeshadow Palette contains five matte
and five shimmer neutral colors with a range of pink, peach, beige, and
brown. These colors are great alone, or
mixed to customize for your own stylized signature Summer look. For that perfect Summer look, use an all-over
color on the eyelid, with a contrasting color in the crease, and finish off
using a sweep of the Highlighter Stick
on the eyelid. For more information, visit https://www.modelsownit.com

Seasonal transitioning requires
assessing the efficacy of all of your treatment products. Products that
worked well during the Spring may not necessarily perform as well in the Summer.
Make sure to change your regimens and products to conform to changes brought
about by seasonal transitioning and change.
Don’t forget to read my article,
“Spring Lifestyle Transitioning Tips”, which I posted on April 25th. In
this seasonal gem, I share with you as an industry insider all of my expert
tips, recommendations, and insights. I cover everything…skin and body
care, makeup, fragrance, wellness, health, and lifestyle. This article is
a potpourri of the best in seasonal lifestyle transitioning, and is also
relevant for transitioning from Spring to Summer.
Take the time to notice the
changes in nature from Spring until now, and enjoy it. Celebrate and
embrace those changes, because they’re a part of the cycle of life.
That’s it for this edition. Until the next one, remember to take care of
yourself and those you love.
