Tackling Your Summer Skincare Woes With HSN + My 9 Essentials! #SummerSkin

During the Summer your typical beauty and skincare routine is almost guaranteed to change just as fast as the weather does. Here in Florida it’s warm 12 months out of the year but as June approaches the humidity pumps itself up about 10 notches. This is when my skin tends to go into panic mode. My complexion instantly turns from flawless to frightening within days and I find myself frantically looking for a miracle. The song “Summertime Sadness” now has a completely new meaning.

CLEAR SCALP & HAIR BEAUTY THERAPY™ Review

I am no stranger to the new CLEAR SCALP & HAIR BEAUTY THERAPY shampoo and conditioner system so I was glad to see the generous sized samples in my Influenster Summer Beauty voxbox. For the past two months I have used both the shampoo and conditioner duo on my daughter and myself. This line is designed to change the way that we take care of our hair, giving it back it’s strength starting at the scalp. While getting the hair clean it is also helping to nourish the follicles from root to tip. This prevents breakage, split ends, and overall texture by providing a rich blend of vitamins and nutrients. 

 Having color treated hair can be very damaging and it can also be hard to find products that will bring your hair “back to life.” I have colored my hair for years and have always noticed it is harder to keep soft and conditioned. With  the CLEAR SCALP & HAIR BEAUTY THERAPY™ I no longer have this issue.  My hair does not feel dry or brittle and is now smooth, fly-away free, and bouncy!


After using the CLEAR SCALP & HAIR BEAUTY THERAPY™ on Toodie’s hair for a week, I noticed a huge difference in the overall look and texture. Toodie has very curly hair that can be difficult to manage and comb through. It’s also very soft making it prone to tangles and knots. Using the shampoo and conditioner allowed me to comb through her hair easily and prevented frizz after drying. The conditioner is probably my favorite of the two products because it leaves the hair very moisturized without making it oily.
For more information and updates from CLEAR SCALP & HAIR BEAUTY THERAPY™ be sure to follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

CLEAR SCALP & HAIR BEAUTY THERAPY™ products are available at several mass retailers, select drugstores and supermarkets nationwide.
The suggested retail price is anywhere between $4.99 – $5.99.

Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen #influenster


Summer fun has begun! It’s time for long days at the pool, sand castles at the beach, and vacationing to tropical destinations with your family. While your mind may be occupied by all of the memories you are creating, there is one thing you should not forget- your sunscreen! One of the many items I was chosen to test in my Summer Beauty voxbox from Influenster was the Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion.

The Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration™ lotion contains luxurious silk ribbons of sunscreen that nourish and pamper skin while protecting your skin the sun. It also provides 12-hours of moisture that will keep your skin silky soft. If you are headed to the beach or pool this Summer, you may want to check out this product. It contains SPF 30 and will protect your family from the UV rays while keeping your skin moisturized. 

Toodie loves being outside, especially during the Summer when the sun is out and there isn’t a cloud in the sky. She spends a lot of time at the pool, playing water hopscotch and running around in the sprinklers. Even though she has a tan complexion and doesn’t burn when in the sun, I am always protecting her skin from the harmful UV rays. This lotion was easy to apply and absorbed quickly without leaving a sticky or thick residue behind. Toodie was able to put it on herself without mom having to rub in the excess. It also smelled great! If you used the product and had no idea what it was ,you probably would not guess that this was your typical sunscreen.  It’s scent is very light.

You can find Hawaiian Tropic products at most major retailers. The suggested retail price is $8.99 for a 6oz bottle. Also, be on the look out for Hawaiian Tropic’s other products including Sheer Touch Lotion and Tanning Oil.

Influenster: Summer Beauty VoxBox 2012

  

Summer Beauty Vox Box 2012

  • Hawaiian Tropic  Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen SPF 30 
  • Tampax and Always Radiant Collection
  • Quaker Soft Baked Bar in Banana Nut Bread
  • Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color
  • Sally Hansen Nails and Cuticles Hand Creme
Based on demographics, select Influensters also received:
  • Clear Scalpy & Hairy Beauty Therapy ( Shampoo & Conditioner)

The Summer Beauty VoxBox came with a lot of new things I haven’t tried before. I didn’t expect this box to arrive so soon since I just received my Mom VoxBox weeks ago. I am still busy testing out all of those products! Now I have double the products to try, which is just an extra perk. This is what makes the program so unique. The more active you are, the more boxes you will qualify to receive. 

  
While I am excited to try all of these products, the one thing that stuck out to me first was the Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color. I have seen this nail polish before in the store but never could bring myself to buy it. Magnetic Nails are HOT right now and all of the popular nail polish brands are dabbing into the trend. Within minutes of painting your nails all you have to do it place the magnet over top to get the 3D nail art that so many are raving about. The color that I was sent to try is “Polar Purple.” Influenster must know that I love purple-y polishes. 

Yes, I just couldn’t resist painting one nail and giving it a try! On a side note- this stuff drys super quick. I think it’s a winner because I HATE siting around waiting for my nails to dry. 



On top of the nail polish there are several other products in the box that I am interested in trying- like ALL of them! As always, reviews will be up soon.
