Vichy SOS Sunburn Care Balm: #1 After Sun

This summer I've been low on inspiration for posts, but today I was looking around my room for some products that might be worth mentioning. And luckily my eyes stumbled on my favourite after sun!

It is so important to wear sunscreen before you go outside, but also to take care of your skin once you go inside. The Vichy Capital Ideal Soleil After Sun - SOS Sunburn Care Balm is hands down the best product I have found to use after I have been out in the sun all day and I may have caught a few too many rays. Although my skin doesn't burn that badly, I will always be a bit red after being outside all day. This product is a must have for soothing those areas as well as protecting and healing my skin.

Bikini is from Aerie!

This product has prevented my burns from peeling (to an extent), and has sped up the recovery process so my skin looks tanned faster! When I went to Mexico in July 2013 this product saved my skin! I forgot to put on sunscreen in the morning and within two hours my shoulders were burnt to a crisp! Although this product was not able to prevent peeling completely, my skin only started peeling a few days later. It also made the redness fade and soothed the skin so I wasn't itchy.

The SOS Balm is made with Willowherb extract to soothe the burn and Bioavailable Lipids to target and restore altered cellular membranes (in other words, it heals your skin so it continues to protect you!) It is paraben-free, preservative-free, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, non-greasy, and non-sticky. It has a thick creamy/balmy texture that is absorbed into the skin quickly and has a cooling sensation to soothe those burns! And as a bonus, the scent is light, non-offensive, and doesn't seem to linger! It is marketed as a balm used for specific sunburn care with instant soothing action, and safe for sensitive skin. It comes in a 100ml squeeze tube at the price of $26.00 at Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada. I use this product all over my body and face, and have never had a bad reaction from it! This product does not have SPF in it, so in addition to using this always remember to wear sunscreen and your skin will stay happy!

I have loved using this product and have repurchased it because it truly lives up to 100% of its claims no matter your skin type! I know that during every summer and vacation I enjoy, this product will be along for the ride! I'd love to hear what your favourite summer skin care products are! Have a fantastic day!

Spring Haul

Over the past month I've been buying some new things for Spring. And since the Sephora VIB sale was last month, I used that as an opportunity to restock on some skincare items that I needed. I thought it would be great to share what I have purchased with you guys since I've had some time to use them and see what I like!
 

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette 

$67.00 at Sephora
I mentioned I wanted this in my Beauty Wishlist and I bought it as a gift to myself for completing my second year of University! All three powders make my skin look flawless. My favourite is Dim Light and I use it all over my face to even out the look of my skin!
 

Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

$29.00 at Sephora
I was in serious need of a new eyeshadow primer! So far I love it! I have super oily eyelids and my eye makeup doesn't budge all day!
 

First Aid Beauty Skin Rescue Daily Face Cream

$25.00 at Sephora
I love this face cream, and my current one is almost out! It is the perfect lightweight consistency for my combo/oily skin. I love it!
 

First Aid Beauty Skin Rescue Deep Cleanser With Red Clay

$30.00 at Sephora
This cleanser is gentle and clarifying, I've purchased two in the past and although my current one isn't out yet, I bought an extra for when I do run out!
 

Clarisonic Replacement Brush Head - Twin Pack (Sensitive)

$49.00 at Sephora
I love the sensitive brush heads for my Clarisonic! They clean my skin so well, I don’t think I can ever go back to using just my hands!
 

Batiste Dry Shampoo - Original

$8.00 at Shoppers Drug Mart
This spring I've been trying to go longer between washes and when my hair looks oily this stuff gets the job done!
 

Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer - Medium to Tan

$5.00 at Walmart
Since my job is mostly inside, I don't spend much time outside. I love having a tan, so I thought this would be a nice product to try! It smells good, is great at moisturising my skin, and leaves a nice glow behind!
 

Covergirl Ready, Set Gorgeous Fresh Complexion Oil Free Foundation - 120 Nude Beige

$6.00 at Walmart
I ran out of foundation, and since I've heard so many good things about this one I wanted to try it out. It looks so natural on my skin and lasts a really long time!
 

Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm - 105 Demure

$8.00 at Walmart
I wanted a sheer nude lippy for spring and this one looks great!
 

L’Oréal Infallible Lacquer Liner 24H - 171 Blackest Black

$10.00 at Walmart
It was time to purchase a new gel liner, and this one was recommended to me by a friend. I love how smooth and easy to apply it is!
 

L’Oréal Infallible 24H Eye Shadow - Amber Rush

$10 at Shoppers Drug Mart
This eye shadow has been plastered all over the internet for ages and I wanted to see what all the hype was about! The colour is so pigmented and it makes my eyes pop! It is easy to apply and blend out as well. If you like shimmery eye shadow I would highly recommend this!

I hope you enjoyed! Comment down below what you've been buying for spring and summer! Have a great week!
