Depending on where you are located, you may have been experiencing a hotter than normal summer. In LA, we’ve had a bit of a heat wave and it has certainly been a struggle to stay cool. I recently received my summer Babblebox and the theme is beating the heat, which couldn’t have come at a better time!
This is my fourth partnership Babblebox (check out the holiday, oscars and spring articles) and I love doing these, because it’s a great opportunity for me to try new products and share them with you guys.
This one is particularly good because there were a few products I may have never tried but now that I have, I can recommend!
Nad’s Exfoliating Bosy Wax Strips
Ok so summer fact, if you want to go to the beach, you are going to have to tend to your bikini line. Personally I prefer waxing over shaving because it lasts longer, the hair grows back thinner, and there are less ingrowns.
Nad’s, has just come out with their new Exfoliating Body Wax Strips, with pomegranate and pink grapefruit scent. What’s special about these is they are the first exfoliating waxing strips! They contain an exfoliator on the outside and wax on the inside so you get the smoothest results you can get at home.
The coarse outer surface buffs away buildup of dead skin cells and releases trapped ingrown hair, allowing the wax on the inside to adhere and remove even more hair. This is such a great concept for having silky smooth beach days.
Butter London Lost in Leisure Collection
I love playing with my nail color in the summer months and this is the perfect collection of pastels that just put me in the mood for white-sand beaches and fruity cocktails.
This formula has color rich pigments that cover in one stroke. They also have a high shine finish with chip resistant wear and contain Hydrolyzed Silk, Horsetail Extract, Vitamins B, C, and E.
An even more important fact is butter LONDON does not add Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, DBP, Toluene, Camphor, Ethyl Tosylamide, Xylene, or TPHP to any of its nail product formulas!
And because they are awesome, they are offering you, my beautiful readers 20% off your first purchase at butterlondon.com with code: BabbleBoxx2016!
Vichy Aqualia Thermal Mineral Water Gel
A big mistake people make is trying to use the same skincare in the winter as they do in the summer. During the hotter months, your skin has different needs!
I like this product because it leaves skin moisturized and glowing.
It is very lightweight, as well as oil free, so it is perfect for the summer months and is really great for someone with normal to combination skin.
Some of the ingredients and what they do:
Mineralizing Thermal Water: Strengthens skin against external aggressors
Hyaluronic Acid: Able to retain up to 1000 times its weight in water leaving the skin plumped with moisture.
Aquabioryl: Acts more deeply in the epidermis for a long-lasting hydrating and soothing effect.
Y-Carrageenans: Reinforces skin barrier, locks in hydration hour after hour and smoothes the skin’s surface.
Vichy is also offering you guys 20% off + Free Shipping!!

When you think Sofia Vergara, you think sexy AF amiright? To me, she embodies a strong, confident woman, who isn’t afraid to acknowledge her own sex appeal. It’s inspiring!
Her new fragrance is exactly what you would think it would be, addictive and flirtatious with effortless femininity.
I am really particular about my perfumes, but I LOVED this one. It was my first time trying one of her scents, but the florential, fruity fragrance was so good, I wore it out immediately.
Sofia’s inspiration for this perfume is to empower women. “Every woman has a sultry side -it’s one of the most enjoyable aspects of being a woman. I created this scent to help stir that emotion. Women should feel comfortable in their own skin. Being Tempting is all about being yourself and loving it.”
Apply a dab of Tempting By Sofia Vergara to each wrist and behind each ear, touching the pulse points that will best amplify the fragrance. Do not rub your wrists together, just let the fragrance air dry on your skin.
The 1 oz. fragrance is currently available exclusively at Perfumania online and in stores. The 3.4 oz. (as well as the 1 oz.) will hit major retailers nationwide in September.
Anyone who knows me, knows I am an obsessive label reader. I want to know that I am putting natural ingredients in my body. I was happy when I learned LaCroix is 100% natural (0 sodium, 0 sugars/sweeteners, 0 caffeine, 0 calories/fat!)
These sparkling drinks are so refreshing, perfect to pack in your cooler for a day at the beach and are a much better alternative to colas and diet colas.
LaCroix Cúrate includes 6 flavors inspired by two cultures: French & Spanish, all of which come in 12oz. tall cans, and all of which have slightly bolder flavors than LaCroix.
