Sun Kissed Beauty

{ Via:  Vogue }

Who doesn't love the look of being kissed by the sun? It's youthful and healthy looking.  But the sun actually can age our face, and no one wants that! Thankfully, there are products that can help us out.  For this pretty post, I took a long virtual walk down the beauty aisles of the best brands. This roundup features my favorites, and the most interesting products for a sunny glow from sun up to sundown.

HERE: 11 Ways To Get Kissed By The Sun

Air Brush Bronzer
A next generation matte innovation is a new product for a naturally sun kissed flawless looking complexion. Best yet, this powder smooths and blurs pores and imperfections. There's a shade for
 every skintone.
Charlotte Tilbury

Bronzers
A new collection of bronzed hues for the eyes, lips, face and body brings sun-kissed color to you for a golden-hour glow. I am interested in that
 Strobe Body Lotion!
MAC Cosmetics

Glow Away
Here's a bronzing coconut body stick. "A waterproof, all-over body bronzer for an instant, natural-looking glow. Blurs the look of imperfections to make skin appear smoother." You simply swipe on arms or legs, and quickly blend with fingertips. How interesting! Click the link below and watch a video.
Marc Jacobs Beauty

Matte Radiance Baked Powder
Matte Radiance Baked Powder is available in 5 effortless bronze shades to wake up your skin with a radiant glow.  I wear color 03, and love it. No sparkle or glitter at all. Just a radiance or sheen.
Laura Mercier

Bronze-n-Brighten

This powder has been baked, and then hand finished in Italy. Said to create an incredibly natural tanned look.  Haven't tried this but I do like her baked highlighters.

Laura Geller

Shimmer Brick Compact

I love her shimmer bricks. Shown above is
bronze." Another product handmade in Italy, it will give you radiance and light. It's a multi-tasker, too. You can use 
it as eyeshadow. 
Bobbi Brown

Trish McEvoy Tanning Drops
A very interesting product. You mix it with any moisturizer, except Vitamin C Cream. It instantly transforms any serum, oil, cream, or foundation into a custom self-tanner. Within four hours, the weightless formula will give skin an even natural glow. Pretty cool, right? Her products are luxurious. I would trust 
this to work. 
Saks Fifth Avenue

Breezy Cream Bronzer
If powder is not your jam, this waterproof buildable cream applies like a breeze! It dries down to a matte finish. It's clean beauty.
Tarte Cosmetics

Shimmering Hair and Body Oil Spray

Oh how luxurious! Bronze Goddess is a shimmer spray that helps tame flyaway hair, reduce frizz and enhance gloss and shine. Lightly scented with the sun-kissed Bronze Goddess Eau Fraîche fragrance. I bet it is pretty in wet hair at the pool.
Estee Lauder

Countersun Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Mist
I love the idea of this product. Formulated with non-nano zinc oxide and California poppy extract, this physical (not chemical) SPF 30 formula provides an effective shield from UVA and UVB rays while the tint helps camouflage imperfections and even out skin tone.

Beautycounter

PERRICONE MD

No Makeup Bronzer 

Another product that I have not tried, but it gets rave reviews. It's weightless and gives a healthy sun-kissed glow without shine, shimmer, or glow. It also features broad spectrum sunscreen.

Foodie Friday: Summer Salads

Summer salads are hard to beat, especially when the heat is on. They are the best way to use seasonal fruits and veggies. Chicago's farmers markets are not open yet, which is so disappointing. Are they open in your towns? Thankfully, Whole Foods does have pretty produce! This recipe roundup will make a salad lover out of anyone. And for those meat and potato people, there is a Loaded Potato Salad, and the best sounding Steak Salad with flavors of the southwest. You'll love the salad accessories, too. 
Bon Appétit!

Fresh, healthy, and high in protein. What else could you want from a salad? The dressing is very light with a combination of olive oil, lemon, and Dijon mustard. It goes really well with 
shrimp and eggs.

on repeat this season.
Foodie Crush

Peach Caprese Salad with Toasted Garlic Naan
Isn't this a beautiful thing? The beauty of this salad is that the longer the peaches and tomatoes sit and marinate in the vinaigrette, the better the flavor. This recipe is party worthy and gets a five star rating from over 30 reviews.
Half Baked Harvest

Steak Salad

"Hearty and loaded with lots of smoky, southwestern flavor, this delicious steak salad with its zesty cilantro-avocado dressing sure hits the spot!" The main ingredient is marinated

don't you think?
