With the start of summer, we’re all on the lookout for those great products that help us heat-proof our beauty routine. The thing is, we need things that not only make us look good, but also help protect us from the dangers of the sun.
We’ve rounded up five great products that are totally going to help you rock your summer beauty routine.

We all know that the Pantone color for 2015 was Marsala. While Marsala is a gorgeous, deep, rich red shade with brown undertones, it doesn’t exactly scream “wearable for warmer months!” While we always hear about the color of the year, did you know that Pantone actually releases colors every season? Yep, it’s true! The color for Summer 2015 is Minion Yellow.
Hmmm…Minion Yellow. You don’t say…
Are you familiar with Fresh? If not, you should be. Fresh blasted into our psyches with their amazing lip treatments, and they’ve just continued to impress with each new item.
While the Fresh Sugar Lip treatments are technically a tinted lip balm, they’re really so much more than that. It’s like a subtle little lip scrub that’s not abrasive, a nourishing moisturizing treatment, and a hint of color all in one package. Plus, these babies have a SPF of 15. Ummm…how great is that?!?! This is especially important because our lips can’t create oils to protect themselves.
Now that the New Year has arrived, it’s time to take care of you. What better place to start than your lips? Since they don’t have glands to take care of themselves, lips really need our help. These are a few of my favorite lip items to get great lips for 2015. Let’s get the lippy year started off right!
Chapstick Holiday Tins were provided for editorial purposes. All opinions are my own.
Chapstick has been releasing collector tins for the holidays for the past few years. These limited edition collector tins are available during the winter holidays, leading up to Christmas, and then they’re gone. For 2013, Chapstick has released a small series of tins for our favorite retailers. Each chain has their own tins, so you’re gonna have to hit all the stores to collect them all.
The folks at Carmex sent me samples to try out. All opinions are my own.
Carmex has been a feature in our home my entire life. My mom is a long time user of the original format in the little squeezy tube. Personally, I’ve always preferred my lip balm in a firmer format, mainly because I end up squeezing out waaayyyy too much and then it’s all over the place. I have no self control!
The good folks at Chapstick sent me an assortment of their new items, including the Chapstick MixStix. Opinions are my own.
I absolutely adore lip balms. It’s almost like an addiction or something. While the lip balm that I reach for most tends to be a mint flavored one, I do like the crazy flavored lip balms. Chapstick has recently introduced several new flavors, and a new concept for Chapstick.
First up is the Hydration Lock line. The Hydration Lock is clinically proven to not only moisturize your lips, but keep them moisturized for 8 hours. 8 HOURS! Hydration Lock also has antioxidants CoQ10, Vitamin E, and Hyaluronic Acid to keep your lips looking good. These are the products that are in your skin care products to help with anti aging. There are lots of anti-aging lip products on the market, but very few that have a price point under $3!
I am a bit of a lip balm addict. I can’t stand for my lips to be dry or not lubricated., and I love to try new flavors. Well, our good friends a ChapStick have us covered. They’ve introduced two new limited edition flavors – Cake Batter and Velvet Cupcake.
Say whaaaat??? That’s the very reaction I had when I first heard this news. I had no idea that there were new Chapstick flavors. Apparently, they’re only available in Philadelphia right now. Wellll…I was able to get my hands on each flavor.
