Shine Beauty Guru Review:Sweat and Water get the knockout with the right Strength!

As soon as clinical strength deodorant came out, I was on it.  Texas heat + weak deodorant don’t mix well.  So Secret Clinical strength was a blessing.  When I found out, we would be testing the WATERPROOF kind for our Shine Beauty Guru assignment, I was stoked!

 Summer is upon us and this couldn’t come at a better time. I opened that baby up and applied away.  After reading the directions, it said the best application time was at night (that way it could absorb better!)   But I’m a twice a day applier so…we’d see. 

 

 I already love the clinical strength of Secret. It really does cut down the sweat. Which makes it a lot easier when wearing colored shirts. (no stains!)

 I’ve been applying it nightly after my shower and when needed during the day.   Its worked great and smelled fantastic. So fresh, so clean clean!  Sometimes even when I forget perfume, the hubster says, “You smell good!” 

 So when lake days and pool days came around, I was ready to put it too the test!!  Layin in the sun, the rest of my body would be covered in sweat, but my arms were dry! Holy moly! That’s never happened! I wondered if I could apply it to my whole body? But that might be a little odd.

 After swimming in a lake all day with no where to shower, I put on clean clothes (of course I forgot my deodorant!) and still felt fresh. The rest of my body felt grody but I my arms felt clean.

 When I spent the evening outside dancing, it worked no sweat!  Even in the shower, I could tell it worked. It took two or three scrubs to feel like I got it off.    

 This deodorant is a new summer must!  The clinical strength wards of sweat and the waterproof ensures that you’ll feel clean in and out of water.  Whether you apply it once or twice a day, it works!

 Though it might be a little higher than your normal deodorant, the extra protection it provides is worth that extra 2 or 3 dollars to me!  Another plus, no white marks when dressing! (unless you apply your deodorant and then immediately put on a shirt..but that was my fault that time!) 

 I give it 5 stars!!

 So grab your self a tube and dive in that pool!

Quick Style Guide: Staying Beautiful in the Heat

Oh, its been to long since the last quick style guide! And you know how I love them so!  It’s summer ya’ll! And in Texas that means 85 degrees by 9:00am.  It’s hot, its sticky, its hard to stay beautiful!  So of course I’ve got some fabulous things to offer to help stay looking hot all day long!

surfspraysHair: Its difficult to have cute hair in the summer. 

My first reaction to overheating is to pull my hair up into a ponytail and off my neck.  Pony tails don’t have to be boring though!  Position is everything.  Play with it! Try high on your head, try a straightened pony in the middle, or a low natural wave pony behind your ear (this is what I’m sporting today, I let my hair airdry overnight)

 But there are some days I love to wear my hair down, you say?  Me too! So go for an easy style!  Easy, Beach Waves! Instead of slaving over a curling iron during the morning, try some wave spray!  My absolute favorite is Garnier Fructise Wonder Waves Spray! It helped create this look and this one. But I’m also ready to try some new products, inspired by this Style.com article—Surf Sprays!  I’m going on the hunt for the Frédéric Fekkai Beach Waves later!  Welcome to your new summer hair!

 

Makeup: Who wants cakey foundation and creasing eye make up?! No one!

So when possible go without!  Put on the minimum you can stand….for me I need eyeliner/mascara/lip balm!  If you know you’re going to be near water or outside all day, chose something waterproof.  My Faves: Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer in Sable and Maybelline The Colossal Volum’ Express Waterproof Mascara 

Switch foundation/base whatever you wanna call it! Try something lighter.  Since my wedding I’ve been using Benefit Some Kind of Gorgeous (Foundation Faker).  Its a lot lighter than other foundation and perfect for summer. Definitely give it a try!  Have someone at Ulta help you!

 

 

Body:  It seems no matter what the season my skin is dry dry dry.  Summer is awful be cause lotion and high temps don’t mix well.lovemycouturesamples

 So try a light lotion, like some of Nivea’s options!  I use something that protects my tan. I apply it after I shower at night, Love My Couture Tan Extender.  It actually works and is not greasy when I’m outside.

 

So there ya go! A few ways to stay beautiful (easily) in the summer heat!
