Spring Break skin care: Neutrogena gets you clean & sun protected

Hello Spring Breakers! Are you beach side for your spring break like me?

 Neutrogena has 2 products that just may make your spring break a bit easier! First, the grapefruit scented oil free cleansing wipes are perfect for a quick cleanse in the morning, or after a surf lesson at the beach and before you go to bed at night. They don't sting your eyes, remove and deep clean the skin preparing it for your favorite Neutrogena moisturizer.

To keep your skin sun safe and skin tone even at the same time, try the Neutrogena healthy skin foundation with spf 50.

In my situation it made for a quick touch up to go from beach side fun to a great restaurant and maybe it can do the same for you too!

Get your favorite Neutrogena brands at Walmart, Target, or mass retailers near you! The products are in the $10.00 range so you can have more money for fun on your spring break!

NYC Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm-spring break & prom lips quick

Hi Gorgeous!
Hope you are enjoying a beautiful spring break! I know I am! Plus I've been playing with my NYC Applelicious Glossy lip balms and they are quite the fit for bike riding at the beach and enjoying the amusement park.

These are available at mass drugstores-like a Walgreens, CVS or Rite Aid. The price is why you want these-just at $2.99! My experience is lots of shine, a lot of flavor that does wear off after a bit and hint of color.

The feel is smooth on the lips, not sticky, tacky or loose. I wish they had a clear, though the Blushing Golden Pomme D'or is the closest to having high shine without color.

I like these alone, with a lip liner and over a lipstick. They are just fun-so pick one up if you can!

Spring Break lashes with NYC Big Bold Curl mascara

Hello Gorgeous!
This is me packing NYC Big Bold Curl mascara for a beach side spring break vacation for my family.
Though the plans are for swimming, surfing, fishing and massive Lego building-I am still packing a few key beauty pieces to keep me looking ready for anything!

My experience is that the mascara needs two coats to give lashes a full look. It's a good bargain for being priced under $5 and you can get it at Walmart or major drugstore retailers.

For me, it wore really well, did not smudge or flake, no noticeable smell and does not sting the eyes. It requires a bit of washing/rubbing to remove with my makeup remover, but with an actual eye makeup remover eye pad it wiped right off.

I like it and think it's a bang for the buck!

Lumene BB Cream for Spring Break skin care & makeup

 Hello Gorgeous!
Well, it's the beginning of our spring break vacation to the beautiful beaches of Southern California.
I am using my Lumene BB Cream in Light for going to the beach, then touching up when we go out to eat and then a wee dab more to layer protection as we bike ride on the strand before winding up somewhere for dinner.

At that point, I can put a bit of powder and add some eyeliner with bronzer to take my daytime beach protection and natural makeup look to more of a dressier going out look. The Lumene BB creme wears well under sweat and sun, is a bit streaky when I first apply and needs a bit of blending and massaging into the skin. Though once it's on, it's on! It's easy to buy Lumene products, just visit your local CVS!
