It is time for another Makeup Wars! This time the Makeup Wars team is sharing their favorite fragrances for Summer! The timing of this Makeup Wars is perfect because I just discovered a fabulous Summer scent from Laura Mercier!

Laura Mercier's Tarte au Citron Eau Gourmand:

Are you looking for a new scent for Summer? If you are a fan of the foody sweetness of Eau Gourmande scents then you are going to love this new one from Laura Mercier! Introducing Tarte au Citron! 

Eau Gourmand scents are my absolute favorite type of scent category. I love the richness and sometimes sweetness of these decadent and rich foody scents. However, when I typically think of Gourmand scents, I think "cold weather" or Winter-scents...until I met this new Tarte au Citron collection from Laura Mercier! The Tarte au Citron is absolute decadent goodness!

Tarte au Citron: Eau de Toilette:

This scent is a blend of lemon zest, sugared citron, a dash of bergamot, and topped with creme fraice merinque. It is accented with neroli, jasmine, and anise combined with vanilla, musk, and even some woody notes. The overall effect? A decadent and rich scent that reminds me of lemon cake! This is a rich and complex sweet foody scent that is Summertime wearable. The zestyness of lemon makes it seem light and appropriate for the heat of Summer. I absolutely adore this scent and find it perfect for everyday wear. 

Tarte au Citron Souffle Body Crème:

In addtion to the Tarte au Citron Eau de Toilette, I also tried out the Tarte au Citron Souffle Body Crème. The Souffle Body Crème is a luxurious and rich whipped body cream in a lovely glass jar. My skin gets so dry in the Summer from all the chlorine. So, applying this body cream is a special treat. It leaves my skin feeling velvety soft and delicately scented. It is so luxurious! It contains Vit A and E as well as Grape Seed and Macadamia Oils and Shea butter.

I adore wearing Laura Mercier's Tarte au Citron this Summer! What are you wearing this Summer? Are you a fan of Eau Gourmande scents, too?

It is time for a favorites post! I am so excited!!! I am especially excited because I am featuring the cute graphic above from Beautysets! Have you guys had a chance to play around with Beautysets yet? So fun! I hope to create more lists there!!!

In the past, I featured Monthly Favorites. In the future, I think I will fluctuate between monthly and seasonal favorites. It seems that I went a couple months where I was literally just using the same products. So, I skipped a few months in favor of doing a seasonal Fall Favorites post instead! I just don't want to be too repetative. With that said, if ya'll really want to read favorites posts here on a monthly basis. Please let me know! I would be happy to do it monthly if ya'll really love reading these types of posts.

There are a ton of products that I am *totally loving* right now. Some products I stumbled upon recently and some of them are long-term faves. Buckle in ya'll as this is a long list! I seriously love everything mentioned here!
