What I'm Dying to Splurge on Right Now!

I am so in love with this product, and I want to splurge on it SO bad!  I might just have to come up with the $50 for this - its just too luxurious!  It's Dior's CC Airbrush Mist!



Airflash is Dior's brand of can-spray airbrush makeup, and now they have introduced (exclusive to Sephora) an airbrush primer spray that is a CC formula - which stands for 'color correcting'

What it is:
A lightweight spray that delivers Photo-Smart Pigments™ to color correct imperfections, erase shadows, even out skintone, and brighten dull complexions. 

What it does:
The perfect start for glowing skin, this exclusive formula is enhanced with an energizing mix of minerals to revive and refresh the complexion as well as hyaluronic acid to plump and smooth the skin. Apply this universal shade before any foundation for flawless application and extended wear.

Pumpkin Everything is Back!

That's right, it's that time!  Time for PUMPKIN EVERYTHING!


But that can be a GOOD thing when it comes to beauty!!!

How pumpkins can make you beautiful!

SEEDS


Pumpkin seeds are an excellent source of:
-Vitamin E
- Zinc
-Anti-inflammatory Healing
-Anti-Bacterial Treatment

You can eat pumpkin seeds on yogurt, cereal or in trail mix, or you can get pumpkin seed oil and add it to food for anti-acne and moisturizing properties!  How genius!


FLESH

the flesh of a pumpkin can be pureed to give you an incredible facial that will exfoliate and even give your skin a books of sun protection for the short term! 

YES!  it was found that women who consumed pumpkin flesh or used it topically, had a higher UV tolerance for a 12 hour period!  Hows THAT for anti-oxidant protection?!

Not only that but a homemade pumpkin facial mask can deliver a subtle glycolic peel that will actually exfoliate and nourish skin!  (very similar to a papaya mask, see my recent homemade beauty video post about how to make a papaya face mask!)

PUMPKIN FACE MASK RECIPE"


1/4 CUP of pumpkin flesh
1 TSP Honey
1/4 TSP Apple Cider Vinegar or Cranberry Juice

Blend together, apply to face, leave on 10 minutes

(I skip the egg!)

PUMPKIN TREATS


I WISH eating pumpkin treats was good for your beauty and health, but well, it just ISN'T! 
Facts: a Medium DD Pumpkin Coffee is 260 calories
a Pumpkin Muffin from Starbucks is 360 calories

What a bummer


My 2 Fav pumpkin products during the Fall (and nearly year-round) seasons is:

Michael Todd Organics Pumpkin Mask $28


which is a glycolic mask that peels away that top layer of flaky pore and line causing residue right off, and I LOVE IT (use weekly, see last week's blog post for more details)

Philosophy Pumpkin Pie Body Products

(starting at $16.50 at Sephora and Ulta)

They smell delish and are very soothing to the skin!

There you have it, pumpkin is BACK - try not to be too depressed that the lime and coconut scents of the summer are on clearance

Great Holiday Weekend!

I had a WONDERFUL long weekend in celebration of Labor Day!  My husband, father, my friend Chris and I always host this HUGE cookout on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend each year, this year was our 6th time and it was epic! 

I really enjoyed the 'unofficial' end of summer but I hope there are more gorgeous weekends to come!
