Summer products

 Hi everyone!

Summer is gone, these months have been awesome and I hope everyone had a great vacation:)   I wanted to show you some of the products that I used these months on a daily basis and some information about them as I really enjoyed them and considered it’s worth sharing. All products have been displayed on a beach towel that I’ve purchased when I went to the seaside and found it to be perfect for the summer vibe. 

 

1.  Bath

In the bath category I’ve been really enjoying fruited scents this summer.

– More than 98% natural ingredients,
– pH neutral for skin,
– Easily biodegradable formula,
– Recyclable bottle.

• Avon Senses Calming Tuscany shower creme

2. Body

This year some favorites made it back along with some new things that I wanted to try.

• Avon Planet Spa Blissfully Nourishing with African Shea Butter

-This is an all time favorite and a must buy for me any season. It absorbs pretty quick into the skin and leaves it incredibly hydrated for hours, best of what I’ve ever used. 

• Avon Planet Spa Thai lotus body souffle with coconut oil and lotus flower extract

-gentle and airy, soft, light

• Avon Care Aloe Vera light cream

-with aloe vera, shea butter and vitamin E

-light texture, a little sticky on the skin at first but fully absorbs into the skin pretty fast. I used it especially after sun exposure when getting home from the beach, after shower. 

•  Avon Skin So Soft – Enhance & Glow – 7 in 1 Glow Body Lotion

-again a repurchase, used it last summer and loved it. It gives a very subtle shimmer to the skin, perfect for summer.

• Yves Rocher Monoi de Tahiti Precious Dry Oil 

-No paraben, no mineral oil. For a plus of glow when you want to look radiant in the summer. I had it last summer and used it this year too. The shimmer is more noticeable than the one in the Avon Skin So Soft – Enhance & Glow – 7 in 1 Glow Body Lotion. 

• Avon Naturals  Pomegranate and Mango  body spray that I don’t know how but got into the face products photo and I realized a little too late 🙂

• Oriflame The One Lip Sensation Matte Mousse in Soft Mulberry: more of a fall color, transfers
• Sephora lip stain no.5 Infinite Rose: described as a satin golden peach, the most amazing lip product I’ve ever used, long lasting, doesn’t transfer, perfect everyday color.

5. Hair

I have been using a lot of products, finished a Palmer’s Coconut Oil shampoo and after that some of the Advance Techniques from Avon.

• Avon Advance Techniques Absolute Perfection BB shampoo: does a good job cleaning and hydrating even when used alone. 
• Avon Advance Techniques Absolute Perfection BB conditioner
• Avon Advance Techniques Daily Shine Dry Ends Serum: a permanent repurchase for me, I’ve been buying this for years and love what it does to my hair, has a light formula and doesn’t look as greasy on my hair as other products.

A very important aspect for summer for me is feet care and although I’ve been using only 3 products 2 of them are staples for me that I kept repurchasing since last year.

• Avon Foot Works exfoliating and refining pads:Glycolic acid treatment to exfoliate rough, dry skin. I have been repurchasing these for some time now and I love them especially in the summer.

• Oriflame Athena Bright Breeze: opens with the juicy fruity union of bergamot, apple and apricot along with sea notes. The heart accentuates floral notes of jasmine, chrithmum maritimum blossom and sweet pea, followed by accords of sunny stone, musk and sandalwood.
