pale complexion, ghostly sunken eyes without an eyebrow, a bold blackened matte lip, and an electrifying hair style...not exactly a "summer beauty look". but with all the fall collections out, i wanted to try one of these runway looks on my muse Kim Kardashian...

Troy Jensen transformed Kim Kardashian into a more bold and vampy version of herself and has shared all the details on his blog-- she still looks amazing-- check it out here!

review: Rx For Brown Skin Protect and Defend Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 15

after a gloomy june, the sun decided to make july the month to finally come out! and it isn't playing around when it comes to heat (bleh). i have been slathering on my Rx For Brown Skin Protect and Defend Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 15 daily to ensure that when i do go out in the sun, my face is protected.

the formula is creamy and lightweight, goes on smooth and doesn't leave any white residue or greasy feeling on my face. it protects my skin from harmful, aging and burning rays, keeps my hyperpigmentation under control (the sun can actually make spots darker if you don't protect them), and i haven't had any irritation or breakouts-- definitely a great product!

find Rx For Brown Skin Protect and Defend Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 15 at Sephora and online at sephora.com

Tone Antioxidant Body Wash with Blueberry & Vitamins

Tone's new Antioxidant Body Wash with Blueberry & Vitamins is the perfect way to keep the good feelings associated with the season with you when you start your morning or while wash the day away. when this arrived on my doorstep, i admit, i wasn't expecting to like the blueberry scent (you know i love citrus scents), but once i used it, i found the scent to be the perfect balance of fresh and fruity.

infused with ingredients like vitamin E and A, as well as blueberry extract, this yummy in-shower treat has a rich lather that rinses clean and leaves my skin feeling soft. plus it comes with the added bonus of antioxidants fighting against environmental stress-- what's not to love?



indulge your skin with an affordable luxury-- try this to find out for yourself. in addition to body wash, you can also find this formula in bar form at your local drug and mass retail locations. visit ToneSkinCare.com for more info
