With the hot sticky summer weather around the corner I have been on the hunt for a nice tinted moisturizer. I usually wear foundation but it tends to feel gross on my skin in the hot humid Florida weather. I think tinted moisturizer is good for hot weather because it provides coverage, makes skin softer, doesn’t feel too heavy, and some products provide sun protection. Recently, I purchased stila illuminating tinted moisturizer spf 15, it’s not exactly what I have been looking for in a tinted moisturizer because I crave more coverage, but it’s still a nice product. The moisturizer goes on smooth and makes my face feel nice and soft. It only provides a hint of sheer coverage, but if I want more coverage I just mix it with my choice foundation. I like the subtle shimmer it has because it makes my face glow, which I think is a nice look for the summer. Another thing I like is it’s spf 15 and protecting your skin against sun damage is always a good thing. Especially for someone like me who is fair complected and gets moles very easily. Overall, this product does exactly what it claims to; it delivers a hint of sheer coverage, subtle shimmer, SPF 15 and added moisture in one effortless application. Perfect for everyday use, the silky formula blends beautifully for a pretty, luminous look.

My bebe summer catalog arrived in the mail the other day, so I figured I’d write about the fashions just like I did for the bebe spring collection. While flipping through the pages of the catalog, I notice a lot of the same trends that seem to be popping up everywhere this season… Such as ruffled blouses, animal prints, gladiator sandals, and “bohemian” designs. Another thing I notice about this season is that designers are using bold colors like oranges and fuchsias which is seen on some of the bebe fashions. (Frappelattes also wrote about summer fashion trends.) Like always, browsing through the catalog is such torture because I like almost all of the pieces. If only bebe wasn’t racist against women with large boobies… My breasts won’t even fit in their tops! Oh well, I can still purchase their accessories and bottoms so it’s all good.
