Sun Kissed Beauty: 8 Ways To Get The Look

Being kissed by the sun sounds so romantic. Just a touch of color where the sun naturally hits your face, is such a healthy look. It's easy to achieve if you have the right products. Any of these 8 bronzers will give you that sun kissed glow without the harmful rays.

Jones Road Miracle Balm

This is a product that I still have not tried, but I want to do so ASP. The color shown here is Magic Hour, which is a cool sheer bronze with a bit of silver shimmer. You might want to also try Happy Hour. It's a bit lighter. #cleanbeauty

Jones Road Beauty

James Read Endless Summer Self Glow

I do love a faux tan, and I use it often. My favorite is St. Tropez. It's great, but I cringe to think of the toxins in that product. So I am glad to know about this self tanner. It's made with plant based ingredients. It's really a moisturizer that gives you a natural sun kissed look on day one, and a bronzed radiance by day two. Clean Beauty.

Saturdays At Shop This

Cheers to the weekend! Was this not the fastest week ever? But like you, I am ready for an easy weekend, after last. Here's what caught my eye lately.

And to start your weekend and summer off right, here's a recipe for a Frozen Aperol Peach Margarita. It looks like the perfect dessert to me.

On the subject of cocktails, I just found the most unusual but perfect glass for serving G & T's (Gin & Tonics.) You gotta see this special glass. It's at Food52

A Chic Cotton Scalloped Shirt Jacket. This terrific topper has details for days. I just love it. Give it a click!

The perfect summer wedding guest look by Oscar De La Renta! So pretty in pink silk.

One of my fave sales of the weekend is at Philosophy. Save 30% on the entire website. I love the smaller sizes of the shower gels for little gifts. And can you ever have too much Grace? :)

Step into Summer in Stewart Weitzman new styles. The collection in their outlet is all under $150. I love how you can shop by size. Nothing is worse than falling in love with a shoe, then finding it is out in your size.

Oh just be cool! The Fieldbox coolers are just that. We have one. On Last year's road trip, it kept things cold for 24 hours. It's the perfect fun and functional gift. Dad might love it, if he enjoys a cool one.

Speaking of Dads.....tonight is your last chance to save 20% on Men's Styles at Shopbop. Use Code: TAKE20

A warm weather must have: Beekman 1802's Wipes. I use them to remove makeup. But they are great for cooling off, especially perfect for golfers and paddle players. Keep one at home and one in your gym bag. QVC currently has a great sale on them with free shipping.

Meet The Minerals: In case you missed it. Read about the very best non toxic sunscreens out there.

Gloss Meets Balm. I just received my order of Westman Atelier's Clean Liquid Lip Balm. It's my new favorite. There is no stickiness, it feels great, and I love the tinted sheen it gives your lips. I bought the nude. So it looks like my lips but better. Plus, the presentation is fabulous. The elegant black case comes with its' own gold embossed black felt bag. Very chic, and worth the money.

A new (to me) shampoo: Aveda's Sap Moss. My hair stylist introduced it to me for it's ability to moisturize hair without weighing it down, especially fine hair like mine. I am loving it after a week. It's plant based, and has a very botanical scent. In other words, it smells like the forest. You can find it at Nordstrom.

At the minimum, you need to pick out the perfect card for Dad. Find unique styles at Etsy. They ship for free, too.

Have a beautiful weekend!
