Beauty Shorts: June Favorites For Your Hair and Skin

    I'm trying so many things, especially for my hair, that I am overwhelmed with things you should know about NOW. To make sure you're up to date on everything, check out my favorites from this month.


    UNITE is one of my new favorite hair care brands. Their Boing! made my hair do exactly that. And as my hair gets longer, I am finding that it is delicate and likes to be temperamental. I know hair is at its weakest when wet. Tangles can become broken strands in moments. On my head, broken strands become flyaways that make me crazy. So it's best to take precautions. I am loving UNITE's 7 Second Detangler, which does so much more than detangle! According to them, it does all of this:

    1. Locks in color
    2. Detangles in just seven seconds
    3. Stylist's favorite cutting tool
    4. UV Protector
    5. Thermal Protector
    6. Eva Longoria's favorite
    7. All Hair types

    I totally agree with 1, 2, 4 and 5. But I'm no stylist and sadly, I'm no Eva Longoria, so I can't comment on those. But I can tell you this leaves my hair without tangles and feeling smooth and healthy.  Use it daily to keep hair healthy. Pick it up for $21.95 online or at fine salons.


    JoElle's Skincare Revitalizing Botanical Mist is a great way to start out the morning (or wrap up the evening) after cleansing. This fresh mist is very light and leaves skin feeling fantastic. It contains green tea, chamomile and lavender which restores the skin and preps it for the rest of your skincare. It smells slightly lemon-y, which always makes me smile. This spray just seems to wake up my skin! Since it's alcohol-, oil- and paraben-free, I also like to use it after my makeup. A quick burst of JoElle's signature mist makes your makeup look perfect, as if you were born that way, and didn't just spend all of that time perfecting your face! This is especially great if you were a little heavy handed with the setting powder. This product retails for $32 and will last you forever!


    Mario Badescu is one of those lines that should cost way more than it does. I know I've told you how much I love their Summer Shine Body Lotion and Orange Cleansing Soap (the only cleanser this year I've used completely and then re-purchased!), but I've neglected to tell you all about their Hyaluronic Eye Cream. As my makeup maven amiga Anne will tell you, Hyaluronic Acid is one of the ingredients that gets us 30-ish year old people excited. It gives skin an instant lift, plumping fine lines and leaving skin incredibly soft.  This eye cream contains aloe and is safe enough for sensitive skin. I like to use it around my eye and on to my cheekbone, where my skin tends to become the driest. Pick it up online or from Ulta for $18!
