I was invited by Saks Fifth Avenue for a VIP beauty day to discuss this summer’s hottest splurges in store. The day consisted of a mini facial, makeup with a national Dior makeup artist and a private in-store beauty tour discussing this summer’s hottest beauty products.
A big emphasis was placed on skin care and keeping it clean and hydrated.
This is always the time of year when I start feeling a little tempted by the desires to splurge on products I don’t really need… but really want. I’m at a point in my life where I realize the importance of quality over quantity, and seeing all these goodies makes it hard for me to hold back!
So, for all my beauty lovers- this list is for you!
Special thanks to Saks Troy for the inside scoop on what’s hot right now, and for the fabulous afternoon!
Saks Summer Beauty Top 5
1. Chanel Hydra Mist– Skin hydrating mist thats feels and smells amazing. Perfect for after a day of sun. This is also a great spray to use before applying makeup- as well as after makeup for setting.
2. La Mer Hydrating Lotion– Reparative lotion that leaves skin dewy and glowy. Formulated with the “miracle broth” recipe. This can be used all over the body and also helps to fight acne spots and ingrown hairs. A true luxury product that I am dying to get my hands on.
3. Trish McEvoy Derm Grade Pads– Now that Trish McEvoy is married to a leading dermatologist she is now offering these top notch cleaning pads which work to exfoliate dead skin. These are perfect for using morning and night and leave skin feeling tingly and clean.
4. Laura Mercier Colour Dots– This is the perfect “fun” product to add to your makeup bag this summer. These colour dots can be used on cheeks and lips and provide a beautiful shimmery color. You can go heavy or light and still have the effect of a finished look.
5. Jo Malone Black Cedarwood and Juniper– If you’re looking for a seasonal scent to rock all summer- this is it. It’s one of those smells that makes everyone around you turn their head and ask “what is that?!” This would also make a fabulous gift to anyone special in your life.
