Shower Items for Relaxation

I love relaxing and taking some time to enjoy my favorite shower items. Shower time is a great time to relax, clear my mind, do some thinking and pamper myself. I particularly love using shower items that have an aromatherapy component. If your shower items feel nourishing and soothing on your skin, that’s awesome, but it’s even more enjoyable when they smell delicious!
 
I think it’s ingenious that so many shower items these days incorporate a scrumptious scent to further enhance your feeling of enjoyment and relaxation during your shower time. Philosophy is one company that truly knows we appreciate indulging in yummy food-scented shower items Their body washes smell so edible you almost feel like you’re eating a delicious treat. Plus they make your skin feel so soft, smooth and hydrated. The perfect moisture balance and extremely gentle. Here are a few of my favorite yummy delicious Philosophy shower treats:

Suave has also designed a delicious line of shower items for pampering and indulging in a relaxing get-away during your shower time. It’s great to have a break and feel like you’re escaping into a tropical island or beautiful field of flowers. Another wonderful way I relax and enjoy a peaceful retreat is with Suave’s line of body washes. Here are a few I enjoy:
A great old standby are Dove beauty bars. They’re always gentle, soothing and great for nourishing my skin. I particularly like their shea butter bars.

Shower Items for Exfoliation

Scented shower items work even better when combined with items with exfoliating properties. They also help your body washes and beauty bars last longer. I just drizzle a few drops of my favorite products on a pampering puff, my awesome shower gloves or exfoliating face pad. They all help to distribute my items while exfoliating my skin. My skin feels even softer and smoother! Here are a few I love:

Great Shower Items for Grooming

Grooming is always key as a finishing touch, and there are so many awesome shower items out now that combine grooming and fabulous scents. Venus has made our shaving experience even better, by adding delightful aromas to their razors and shave gels. Not only can we enjoy smooth, well-groomed skin, but we can enjoy the process. Skintimate and Pure Silk also make some delectably-scented shave gels and creams. Here are a few I have a great time using:
Don’t forget those added little touches that tie the grooming experience together. I also keep some helpful shower items in reach that further pamper me and are quite effective. A handy shower comb helps with detangling and an effective pumice keeps my feet as soft as the rest of my skin. Here are some helpful ones:
I love shower time and discovering amazing shower items to make my shower experience even more enjoyable. Create a magical experience for yourself to enhance your feeling of peace and enjoying a fantastic get-away!

Create My Natural Look

Natural Look Make-up

As you guys know, I usually like to rock a natural look. It’s pretty easy to create a look that makes you feel “put together” while still maintaining your natural appearance. This natural look is great for daytime activities like a fun outdoor date, catching a bite to eat with a friend or just running around town getting things done. Sometimes you feel like heading out with no make-up at all but this look comes pretty close to a no make-up look, while at the same time, giving you that extra bit of a polished appearance. To start off my look, I applied a simple, light pressed powder to my face. I used Cover Girl Tru Blend Pressed Powder in Translucent Honey #3

I like it because it provides great coverage and works similarly to a foundation. I feel it’s perfect on its own. If you want to add some foundation or concealer underneath, that’s fine but there really is no need. It covers smoothly, evenly and fully but does not look heavy. It still manages to maintain a natural look It creates a nice matte, smooth look. The accompanying sponge works wonderfully. You can add a facial moisturizer of your choice underneath, for a bit of a glow peering through, underneath the powder.
For my eyes, I kept the look natural. I didn’t use any eye shadow or liner, just the powder as a base. I left my eye brows natural and boosted the look of my eyes, made them pop with Maybelline Volum’ Express the Rocket Mascara in Very Black
This mascara’s awesome because it gives your eyes that va va va voom…  long, full thick lashes that stand out alone, without the need for added shadows or liners. The shape and size of the applicator brush is perfect for creating that voluminous look; after only one or two applications and without any clumps. I gave my cheeks a hint of natural color with
Maybelline Face Studio Master Glaze Blush Stick in Make A Mauve #50
...a nice bit of added shimmer to compliment my natural look.

Accentuating your cheek bones with a blush stick is so convenient. You just dab it on with the stick, where you’d like that hint of color, and simply blend with a make-up sponge or your fingers.

I gave my lips a sweet natural look and glossy shine with Maybelline Baby Lips Crystal in Pink Quartz #140 This lip balm smells delicious and it gives your lips a beautiful color as well. They feel moisturized and nourished; but you also get the benefit of a sparkling shine and a generous amount of long-lasting color.

Natural Look for Nails

To create a natural look for my nails, I first created a protective base coat with Sally Hansen Hard As Nails, a great nail hardener that protects my nails from discoloration that might occur if I applied my nail color directly to my nails. Next I added a subtle, natural color to my nails, to pull together my overall natural look with
Sinful Colors Nail Polish in Genteel #578

My Natural Look Hair

To finish off my natural look, I just rocked my usual fun natural hair. I really love using Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine shampoo, conditioner and leave-in conditioner The shampoo is nice and gentle so it doesn’t strip my hair of moisture, just leaves it feeling soft with the proper moisture balance. The conditioner is awesome because I don’t have to use too much, a little goes a long way because it’s jam packed with moisturizing ingredients. It helps to soften, smooth and detangle my hair while I comb it in the shower. Plus the products smell delicious!

When I hop out of the shower, I replenish my hair further with an added layer of protective ingredients in the Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Leave-in Conditioning Cream It ensures my hair is even softer, more manageable and easier to detangle with my brush. I pop it into a ponytail and let it dry by air to keep it orderly.

Try creating a similar natural look for yourself. I’m sure you’ll have fun and will find some of my tips helpful for creating your own unique look. In addition, the tank top I’m wearing is by Karen Scott Check her out. She makes quality, durable clothing at reasonable prices.
