summer favs





I've been wanting to do this post for awhile now as I've been LOVING these products lately, especially with this warm weather we've been having. I figure maybe since they've been my daily go-to's, you might be in search of some summer favy-favs also... So let's just jump right in shall we?

1. Kevin Murphy - Stimulate - Me Wash & Conditioner/Rinse These are actually men's shampoo & condition, but they work just fine for me & my fine hair! I've been swimming a lot & plan to keep doing so for the duration of this pregnancy & these have seriously helped so much with ensuring I get all the chlorine out! My hair also tends to get super damaged in the summer time & so I'm also using the smaller green Kevin Murphy bottle on the far left as a once a week hair treatment. I also actually adore the smell of these products... fresh, minty & cooling! Makes for a refreshing hair wash!

2. Coola SPF 30 Tropical Coconut & Coola SPF 15 Vanilla Mint Lip Balm. Being pregnant apparently means I get burnt quite quickly. I love being outdoors as much as possible in the summer & with swimming outdoors, this is a MUST HAVE. I spent a little more on this sun block as it's organic & not full of parabens, etc. Which means for us lovely Canadians I had to order online. I talked to the girls at Sephora & they said they're still waiting for this brand to be available in the Canadian stores, so until then... you have to purchase it online. I know for some people the price tag may be a bit much, but if you're super picky about the chemicals in the products you put on your body & their scents, then I think it's worth it to pay a bit more. This sunblock & lip balm both smell amazing too!

3. Fresh Black Tea Age Delay Instant Infusion Toner - not much to say here except it's amazing. I just apply a small amount on my hands & warm it up between my fingers. Then press into my face & neck. Very refreshing toner & my skin actually absorbs it so well. I have dry-normal skin & find that most moisturizers & toners just sit on my skin, peel off & don't actually do anything. This however I have found never does that!

4. LUSH Breath of Fresh Air Toner Spray - I use this year round, but in the summer time I tend to spray it on more. It's very refreshing in the morning & evenings after washing my face & moisturizing!

5. True Blue Spa Body Scrub & Foot Scrub - Obviously we gotta exfoliate in the summer months... these have just been my favourites & go to's. Until I find a sugar scrub I like, I'll continue to use these guys.

6. Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream - I love this eye cream! I find a lot of eye creams burn skin & irritate it. In addition to that, they tend to be extremely heavy, but this little orange jar is full of wonderfulness! You can get it at your local Sephora & a little really goes a long way. I find it really brightens my under eye area & actually has a bit of a nice glow that it leaves on my skin after using it. I really love using this on those summer days when I don't wear any make up but still want to look awake & bright.


What are some of your summer go - to's?? Help a sister out! ;)
