** UPDATE on Neutrogena Micro Mist Tanner included here. The stuff is ridiculously terrible.

** UPDATE on Neutrogena Revitalizing Lip Balm - I'm in LOVE. Got a tube for my Mom and she's in love TOO! So smooth, awesome SPF, great hint of color. Will be buying more!!

So many products I can't wait to try. I've been curious about the sea salt based products for a while and am wondering what they do on naturally curly hair in the summer! I LOVE Tan Towels, so those are a def win. My mom (with her gorgeous skin) has long been obsessed with Cetaphil and I'm going to give it a real effort this time. Lots of things I am sure I will use up entirely! Thanks Allure for perking up my Monday!! :)
