*A Shimmery Summer*
I don't know if its the nicer weather lately or just the joy of summer coming up, but I've been having a serious love crush on some shimmery products. Below are my absolute favorite picks for you to have an amazing summer adventure in shimmer-town as well.
Juice Beauty Organic Gloss in Champagne
This Reflecting Gloss will give your lips the most brilliant shine on earth. The combination of antioxidant-rich berries, minerals and sweet agave will wrap your lips in radiant color. Sesame seed oil to heal and a combination of antioxidant-rich berries, minerals and sweet agave to nourish. Retails $15 for .28oz.
My thoughts:
I was super excited to get this in my Ipsy/Myglam bag for May. I've always wanted to try Juice Beauty but have never had the chance. I actually love this champagne shimmery gloss. It smells amazing and feels great on. I've literally been wearing it almost daily.
My thoughts:
This is perfect for summer and looks great on sunkissed skin. It isn't overwhelming at all on the skin. Once applied and rubbed into the skin, it provides a subtle shimmer. You can still see it when you look, but you won't look like a disco ball. This can be used on your face, hair and body. For hair, apply to the ends and scrunch for shimmering highlights. For face, add a few small drops onto the cheekbones and down the center of your nose as a highlight. For body, apply to decolletage, shoulders, arms and legs. In order to get this out of the bottle I merely tapped the top onto my arms and small circles would come out. I didn't have to worry about this getting anywhere because of the great design of the product. The scent is nice but not overwhelming and it does dry really quickly so you don't have to worry about getting oil or glitter all over.

My thoughts:
The above shade is Auro which to me appears more purple in person than on the website. It is a gorgeous multi-faceted color that takes your breath away! You can't help but say something such as "oooohhh pretty!" when you see it. One coat was enough too for a gorgeous light lilac shimmery color as seen below. This dried quickly and was easy to apply.
