Australian Gold Botanical Sunscreen

Whether your hitting up Long Island Sound, the coast, the bay, the lake, the pond, the pool, or a kiddie pool in the backyard this weekend, don't forget your sun block! I have always been a fan of Australian Gold. They offer great products that smell wonderful and it will leave your skin feeling nourished and protected. They offer reef friendly products, and the new Botanical line is perfect for the whole family.

The Botanical Mineral line includes SPF30 & SPF50 ($15.99 each)  Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, SPF30 & SPF50 ($15.99 each) Natural Spray Sunscreen, SPF50 ($15.99 each) Kids Sunscreen Lotion, and SPF50 ($12.99 each) Tinted Face Sunscreen Lotion ($13.99 each). Australian Gold was kind enough to send me over some of the new collection to check out for myself.

These are very water resistant and last up to 80 minutes. The sprays are my favorite and they have a Citrus Oasis fragrance with notes of pineapple and pomegranate. The line can be found at CVS, Ulta, Target, and Walmart. To read more about Australian Gold Botanical's, please go to: https://www.australiangold.com/shop/product-line/botanical

The Tinted Face Sunscreen comes highly rated if your looking to blend and not clog pores. It leaves a powdery rather than a sticky feeling on your face.

Thanks Australian Gold!

DERMAdoctor Wrinkle Revenge

Did you know that sun exposure is responsible for the most visible aging of your skin? DERMAdoctor offers a Rescue & Protect Eye Balm if your looking for something a little extra to treat the eye area specifically and help repair sun damage. This is a super-hydrating eye balm that will hopefully improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It's great to apply to the upper lids, under-eye area, and crow's feet region.

It does not have a scent and it's quick to absorb and not greasy. It can be a little pricey at $50 for 0.5 fl oz, but a little dab will go a long way. It's moisturizing and a great base before applying makeup, but I do not expect drastic results. They recommend using it twice a day.

It can also be found at stores like Ulta, Sephora, & Nordstrom.

Thanks DERMAdoctor for sending this over!

Hard Candy Plumping Serum

Check out these volumizing lip glosses from Hard Candy available in 24 different shades. Sheer and full color shades are available at Walmart for a great price of $6 each. It has a slight tingle for a plumping serum and even the darkest color I tried was still a sheer.

My favorite color was Skin Deep, followed by Love Child, and then Barely There which is just a sheer gloss. If your looking for a reasonably priced new gloss, check these out!It has a nice wand to provide easy application, and it comes in a nice looking copper colored tube.

Emma Hardie Skincare

Emma Hardie is an award-winning British Skincare line that offers natural products aimed at improving skin health. They believe in treating skin, "from the bone up' and help to achieve plumper, firmer, and renewed skin without the use of harsh products or invasive techniques. Emma Hardie was kind enough to send over a few hot summer items for us to check out.

First up, protect your skin this summer with Protect and Prime SPF30 ($72) with this non-greasy light-weight, skin priming and anti-ageing SPF30 that gives long lasting UVA and UVB protection. Mongongo oil, oat extract and Vitamin E work to give skin an immediate firm, smooth and primed base and help to blur out any imperfections. 

Next, I tried the Age Support Face Cream ($65) and this is an intense super-hydrating and lifting treatment cream. Natural oils Moringa, Evening Primrose and rose hip nourish moisture and soothe the skin, while Vitamin E protects the skin against pollution and toxins. It's a heavy cream that hydrates well and it takes a few hours for the fragrance to wear off, so if you are sensitive to scents, be aware.

Thanks Emma Hardie for sending these treats over!
