Hot Drugstore Find of the Week: Lumene Day Cream with SPF 15 Revisted.

Hello Divas! 

Remember to love and take care of yourself no matter what!  No one can make you feel as beautiful as you can!

Last week, the luxe family and I were fortunate enough to spend a week in Hilton Head, S.C.  I love the Beach and sand and apparently the luxe kids do too!  Look at them working hard building sandcastles!

Anyhoo, while on the beach, I used my Lumene Day Cream with SPF 15 everyday and it worked like a charm.  There was simply no need to use additional sunscreen on my face.  This worked out great for me, because heavier sunscreen usually breaks me out.  I did not experience any sunburn and my skin just glowed all week long.  Talking about looking like a dark bronze bombshell! LOL!  I tell you Divas this Lumene Day Cream with SPF 15 is the truth.  It is lightweight, does not clog your pores, smells good and make you just glow!  It is one of the products I simply can not live without!

Lumene Day Cream with SPF 15 retails for $19.99 and you can purchase it at any CVS.

Toodles!

Hot Drugstore Find of the Week: Trim's Neat Feet Portable Pedicure System

Hello Divas!

I hope your Wednesday is Fantabulous!

While in Hilton Head, I needed a pedicure in the worst way. Since I have been so busy, I did not have time to go to the nail salon to get a pedicure. I figured, I would just get one when I arrived. But I found it difficult to locate a nail salon near the beach! So I went to a CVS to find a pumice stone and other tools to do my own pedicure before hanging out on the beach all day. Crusty feet and the beach don't mix! LOL!

Well I found this cute little portable pedicure system by Trim. I was intrigued because this pedicure system looks like a mini Clarisonic and you Divas know how bad I want a Clarisonic. I digress.... The system is a mini power tool with four different heads to give your feet a nice pedicure. How neat???!!

There is a pumice head that smooths rough areas; a brush that cleans feet; a sponge that is used to apply lotion or your favorite foot cream; and a small file to give your feet a final once over. The portable pedicure system also comes with a drawstring bag for easy storage. Plus it fits perfectly in my beauty case. I love products that I can easily transport!

I soaked my feet and used the pumice head to smooth my rough feet. The power tool moves in a circular motion. I applied it to my feet and it removed most of the rough areas. I would have liked it to remove more dead skin, but my feet were smooth enough to present in public! I then applied a nice foot cleanser and used the brush to clean my feet. The motion was very soothing. I think I like this brush the best..it was like a mini-massage. I didn't use the sponge to apply lotion, but I did use the file to give my feet a final once over. The file did not make much of a difference, but it is a nice concept.

Overall the tool gave me a decent pedicure. I loved that I did not have to use a lot of energy giving myself a pedicure because the power tool does it for you. Now that is genius! I do think it could be a little more powerful, but for $10 it was definitely worth the purchase. You can purchase this portable pedicure system from any CVS or Target.

Fun Fridays! How to Prepare for a day on the Beach!

Hello Divas!

It is Memorial Day Weekend! Whoohoo! Time for barbecues, shorts, and the beach! Whatever you do this weekend be safe but have a blast!

Now one of my favorite places in the world is the beach. Half of my dad's family is from Melbourne, FL so I have been going to beach since I was 5 years old. Love it! I know many of you Divas will visit a beach this weekend. So I have come up with some "beach beauty" tips to keep you looking fabulous while protecting your skin from the sun! Check them out!

1. In order to achieve a gorgeous tan, you must prepare your skin. I have said this before, I have a medium-dark skintone, but I love to get a tan. Why? Because my skin looks so luminous when I get a tan. So I always use a good sugar scrub and loofah to exfoliate my skin before going to the beach. Exfoliation will remove dead skin and your skin will tan much easier and even. The Body Shop has the best sugar scrubs for your body. They exfoliate but are super hydrating. Love them!

2. Next, make sure you have a very very good sunscreen. You need one for your body and one for you face. In addition, my philosophy is the more SPF the better. For the body and face, try Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 100. I know...100! It is non-greasy, so it won't clog your pores. Plus it is lightweight, sweatproof, and waterproof! It retails for only $12.


3. Make sure to wear big sunnies to shield your eyes from the sun. Make sure your sunnies have 100% UAV/UAB protection. Of course they have to be big and fabulous! I have been eyeing these Chanel Pearl Shades for the past month. I need them.

4. Get a pedicure before going to the beach. Remember, your toes will be on display for the world to see!

5. Also have tons of water...laying out in the sun can cause dehydration. Keep yourself hydrated!

6. Lastly, have a fabulous swimsuit. I am saving my money to buy a Shoshanna swimsuit. I am slim but heavy chested. So I always have a problem finding a bikini that fits. Shoshanna suits are great for heavy chested girls like me, (they offer lots of support) and they are stylish and adorable. This is my pick! So cute!

Toodles!
