Thirsty Skin? Dermalogica's Skin Hydrating Booster Gives Skin a Drink! (coupon code!)

 Press  Sample Affiliate Link

Is your skin dehydrated? Do you want to moisturize but fear putting on products that might clog your pores? Then a hyaluronic acid-based moisturizer is just what you need! My skin does so well with this ingredient! I often seek out gel-based moisturizers with hyaluronic acid to give my skin gentle hydration without risking breakouts. 

What is hyaluronic acid? It is an ingredient that has the ability to hold 1,000 times its weight in water. It actually draws water from the air and attracts water to your skin. Plus it forms a nice barrier on your skin to hold the water in. While doing this, it smooths out your skin leaving it looking and feeling soft, smooth, plump, and hydrated. 

Dermalogica's Skin Hydrating Booster contains the powerhouse ingredient hyaluronic acid as well as other key ingredients like Panthenol, Glycolipids, and Algae Extract to restore skin's moisture balance as well as to repair your skin. Plus, Dermalogica's products are formulated without any artificial colors or fragrances (which can often irritate your skin).

Makeup Wars! Beauty Diary

 I Bought It Press Sample Affiliate Link Blogger Ambassador

What a cute idea for a post! A "Beauty Diary"!!! So, what is that all about? The object is to list all of the products that you use on a random day. I will admit, I have a lot of curiosity as to how long my list will get, lol! Not to mention, I am extremely curious to see the lists from my fellow Makeup Wars bloggers. Think of these "Beauty Diary" posts as a glimpse into the daily routine of a Beauty Blogger. 

While Reading the List: Things to Keep in Mind:

If you see items on my list that you have heard me review or mention before, chances are that I am still loving the product. I come across so many products with beauty blogging that if something makes it into the daily routine (products that I will eventually use up), then I really must love it! In addition to daily favorites and well-loved items, you will see "new-to-me" products on this list. These are the items that I am currently testing for upcoming reviews and features.

Rather than posting individual or group product shots (that would be way too many photos, ya'll!), I am going to include a RewardStyle graphic that you can just click on the arrow to scroll through (and shop) the products. If you don't want to read my actual list, you really could just scroll through the pictures on this graphic. :)

Despirately Seeking SPF: My Spring/Summer Roundup of SPFs for Face and Body!

I Bought It Press Sample Affiliate Link Blogger Ambassador

It is that time of year...time to talk SPFs! Wearing SPF is a big deal for me. Not only do I have super fair skin and live in sunny Georgia, but also I have a family history of skin cancer and have lost a dear friend to Melanoma. I absolutely do not mess around when it comes to sun protection. I wear it every single day year-round. However, I really up my protection during the Spring/Summer and apply more often. 

As a beauty blogger with an interest in SPF, I have amassed a huge arsenal of sun protection. Plus, there is just so much available! So, I decided to share with you my current go-to picks in my sun protection rotation. No, I don't wear all of these every day. These are just the ones that I tend to reach for, in rotation, the most. I have tested them all extensively over the past year and really love each one for particular reasons, for certain parts of the body, or specific activities.

A Cream Blush Lover's Dream Palette: The Balm's "How Bout Them Apples"

 Press Sample Affiliate Link Blogger Ambassador

I can easily say that I am a blush lover. When it comes to makeup, the top of my list for items that I just love to use are blushes and palettes. Plus, I have a particular love for cream blushes. So, as you can imagine, the "How Bout Them Apples" palette from The Balm Cosmetics is pretty much my dream palette! Plus, have I mentioned how darn cute it is? As always, The Balm hits a home-run with its cutesy packaging.

The Balm: How 'Bout Them Apples? Palette:
I am so excited about this new palette from The Balm that is available in the Birchbox shop. An entire palette of gorgeous cream blushes? Swoon! Plus the super-cute packaging? I am all over this palette!!!

The palette contains 6 cream blush/lip shades. That is right, these versatile creams can be used either on your cheeks or your lips. The formula is creamy and easy to blend. The product has a bit of a wet feel and leaves a bit of a dewy finish. Each pan of product looks like an apple and has an apple/pie themed name. Too cute! The shades are: Cider, Cobbler, Pie, Crisp, Candy, Caramel. You can use these shades on their own or mix them together to create custom shades. Personally, I like the Cider and Candy shades the best. I find that Cobbler, because of the shade, is really best suited on me as a lipstick. I tend to use these primarily as blush but find that I sometimes just dab the excess on my lips after doing my cheeks.

The Skinny:
This palette retails for $32.00 and is available at Birchbox.

POPSUGAR's Must Have Snacks Box by NatureBox: Box Opening and First Impressions!

 Press Sample Affiliate Link Blogger Ambassador

Now ya'll know how much I love my beauty box subscriptions? Well, here is something different for you...a monthly subscription box...of natural snacks! Yes, a healthy-snacker box! What a brilliant idea. While I do pride myself with eating healthy, I will fully admit that my trouble-spot is with snacking. When I reach for snacks, I (hanging head in shame) like grabbing for something sweet like a cookie. The Naturebox Must Have Box from POPSUGAR is the answer to that! If you have this box around, you have will have a great assortment of tasty and healthy snacks to reach for. So, put down that cookie and check out that box! ;) (lol, I am talking to myself here too). This limited-edition box has snacks hand picked by POPSUGAR's editor Lisa Sugar.

The Scoop On Naturebox: 

Naturebox is a monthly box subscription for snacks! For $19.95 a month, you get a big box with an assortment of healthy snacks (you can pause or cancel your subscription at any time). You get five different snacks in each box. You can either choose the snacks yourself or let Naturebox pick them for you. Plus, the boxes support Feeding America. For every box purchased, Naturebox donates one meal. 

Inside the Box: Box Opening

So, how are the snacks? Delicious!!! I am super pleased with the snacks included in the POPSUGAR Must Have Snacks by Naturebox! Here are the snacks that I got:

• Blueberry Almond Bites: These are probably my favorite snacks in the box. Possibly because I really love both blueberries and almonds. These are tiny little squares of puffed rice with almonds and blueberries. My daughter really loves these, too!
• Lemon Pucker Pistachios: Pistachios are always a hit in my house. My husband and I both love them. These have a nice fresh and light lemon flavor.
• Seaweed Rice Pops: These are yummy little treats. They are crunchy balls with a slight bit of a sesame/soy sauce flavor. These are great if you are craving crunch.
• Dried California Peaches: It has been a long time since I have had dried peaches. I forgot how good they are. Dried fruit is great for sweet cravings. These are nice and chewy.
• POPSUGAR Must Have Mix: This trail mix was custom created just for this box! It is certainly my other favorite of these snacks. The mix has a nice variety of almonds, soybeans, corn, and cranberries. A crunchy and salty-sweet satisfying snack!

Great News: 50%!!!

For a limited time, the POPSUGAR Must Have Snacks by NatureBox will be 50% off! So, if this whole idea intrigues you, now is a great time to get a box! :) Click this link for discount.

Overall, I think that the Naturebox snack subscription is a great idea. With the POPSUGAR Must Have Snacks by Naturebox box, I know that I have some healthy snack options on hand...and I love that! As someone trying to lose that last little bit of baby weight (I had a baby 3 months ago), this box is going to have me eating more healthy and making smarter snack choices. Not only are these great snacks for me, but also I know that my husband and toddler will like these, too! Great snacks for the whole family!

I will fully admit that I am wanting to get a subscription to this box. Not only are the snacks healthy, but also I think that the variety will get me out of a "food rut"...you know when you tend to reach for the same food items all the time? I think this box will help me expand my possibilities for snacking!

POPSUGAR and NatureBox provided me with a complimentary POPSUGAR Must Have Snacks by NatureBox box. The opinions I have shared about the box are my own, and POPSUGAR and NatureBox did not tell me what to say or how to say it.
