Bull Frog Ultimate Sheer Protection Sunblock, SPF 30 (love!)

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

I run, a lot. With my fair skin, I can’t go for a run without sunscreen. Ever.

But I hate it when the sunscreen drips down my face and into my eyes. I especially hate it when it drips and I end up with a streaky sunburn, that is not pretty. Or healthy.

I’ve tried lots of sunscreens, but this one is the best I’ve found. As long as I put it on about a half hour before a run, it absorbs into my skin and doesn’t drip down my face.

I’m excited to continue using Bull Frog Ultimate Sheer Protection Sunblock throughout the summer to see if it holds up to my expectations. This spring it has not disappointed me.

Philosophy Hope Oil-Free Moisturizer SPF 30 (love!)

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

I’m cheating on my Cetaphil again. I can’t help it! I get wooed by the newest products from my favorite lines. Philosophy being one of them. And with summer coming up, my super fair skin needs all the SPF it can handle. I figure if I am using an SPF moisturizer, SPF foundation and a powder with SPF, I have to be doing something right, right?

Back to this amazing product. The consistency is thick, but not too thick. It has a pleasant, almost lavender scent. It goes on and sinks into skin, leaving you plumped in all the right places. It dries quickly and can immediately put on the rest of my make up without having to wait for it to dry.

I’ve already noticed a difference in my skin. The super fine laugh lines seems to be a little less noticeable. And even if that’s just the placebo effect of wishful thinking, I’m in love.

I can’t wait to see how this product stands up to the summer and if it can prevent that ever present fear of getting burned.

Aveda Lip Tint SPF 15 (love!)

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010


I don’t just love this lipstick because I wore it on my wedding day. I also love it because it is universally flattering, comes in beautiful colors, goes on smooth and lasts a ridiculously long time. Not to mention, this lip tint has SPF 15 and a lovely minty flavor!

I personally love the Berry color. It’s a bit darker than the others, but not in an overwhelming way.

The tube lasts FOREVER. Seriously, I’ve had the same one for almost four years and I am just now getting down to the nub. Granted, I don’t wear it every single day, but I’m not trying to conserve it either.

Do yourself a favor and at least try this lipstick. You won’t regret it!
