Must Have Summer Beauty Products 2017

What are some of the best beauty products to have this summer 2017?

I love having the opportunity to discover and try out new beauty products first-hand. No matter how many reviews you read online, the only way to know if a product is right for you is to try it yourself. After trying out a handful of beauty products recently, I’ve compiled my must-have summer beauty products 2017.

Must Have Summer Beauty Products 2017

Curl Bar by Hot Tools

The CurlBar is the latest gold-plated curling iron in the Hot Tools® line-up, to raise the bar in achieving the hottest looks for your hair. It has a cool, innovative 90° ergonomic design. Shaped like the number 7, when you style your hair, it eases stress on your shoulders and elbows. The best part is its heritage 24K gold surface which provides even heat distribution, and is ideal for creating long-lasting, smooth curls on all hair types.

I did a video on YouTube unboxing and demonstrating it on my own hair – check it out here:

Alumier MD HydraClarité Moisturizer and AluminEye

I’m in my 40s and still struggle with blemishes. I find it often difficult to find the right moisturizer that won’t clog my pores because I do tend to break out, especially in the summer.

AlumierMD HydraClarité Moisturizer is an ultra-light non-comedogenic antioxidant-rich hydrator specially formulated for oily and blemish-prone skin. Hinokitiol, sea whip and Canadian Willowherb™ relieve redness and irritation. Allantoin and honey maintain the skin’s moisture balance. Antioxidants protect and neutralize free radicals from the sun, pollution and irritation.

I struggle with dark circles but when you apply AluminEye, your eyes appear brighter. That’s because AluminEye has light-reflecting and soft-focus ingredients that lighten the appearance of under-eye darkness. Now available in a pump-style bottle, AluminEye helps improve elasticity and firmness, while diminishing the appearance of fine lines, dark circles and puffiness in the eye area. This A rich, anti-aging eye cream helps the appearance of dark circles, fine lines and puffiness. It stimulates collagen and elastin, and helps clear pigments from within the skin. A combination of tremella mushroom extract, niacinamide (vitamin B3) and murumuru butter moisturize, along with antioxidants protect against UV-induced free radical damage.

You can find AluminEye’s products in doctor’s offices, medical skin clinics, and online at www.alumiermd.com.

This is the world’s fastest self-tanner they say! In just 10 minutes, you can achieve a natural-looking medium colour, without any harmful UV rays.  In fact, VITA LIBERATAVITA LIBERATA is one of the safest self-tanners around; in 2011 it became the first completely non-toxic tanning brand free from parabens, perfume, alcohol and all chemicals of concern.

Vita Liberata’s advanced organic technology uses Matrixyl 3000 Peptide Complex to plump and condition the look of skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and supporting natural collagen production.
