Philosophy Pineapple Coconut Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath

philosophy pineapple coconut

I have been on the hunt for that perfect Pina Colada scent reminiscent of my very favorite beachy cocktail. Can this one perfectly replicate the frosty, frothy scent of creamy coconut milk and fresh, juicy pineapple, sans calories?

The scent is “infused with the essence of pure, refreshing coconut juice and a hint of pineapple.” Perfect to pack for a weekend at the beach as it’s a shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath all in one! It certainly sounds like my holy grail, no?

Philosophy Pineapple Coconut Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath is available from Philosophy for $16.

Daily Style: Pour La Victoire Christa Sandal

Pour la Victoire _Christa_ Sandal - Nordstrom

I NEED to make these shoes mine. Seriously.

Neutral heels are still all the rage, and it’s easy to see why: the simple color elongates legs and just seems to scream sophistication.

This pair boasts fab ruffles (my fave!) adorning the center, super stylish cutouts and killer 4” heels to boot.

Pour La Victoire Christa Sandal is available from Nordstrom for $275.

Kardashian Glamour Tan Self-Tanning Gel

I can hardly keep up with the Kardashians these days (no pun intended!) – their endorsements of diet products, fitness products, fragrance ventures, etc. are enough to make my head spin! I mean, what products do they really stand behind?

That said, I’m interested to see how this new self-tanning gel performs. Sisters Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian Odom, along with their mother Kris Jenner, always seem to have a gorgeous, sunlit glow. The non-staining gel goes on clear and promises to develop into a gorge tan over time.

Chanel Hydramax + Active Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin

CHANEL - Hydramax+ Active Nourishing Cream For Dry Skin - Saks.com

There’s no time that I detest having dry skin more than during summer’s sticky, humid days; my skin still needs moisture but my usual regimen of cream coupled with a rich serum is just too uncomfortable to bear on the hottest days. This summer, Chanel Hydramax + Active Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin has been my saving grace!

This thirst-quenching formula feels completely water-based and somehow manages to keep my skin hydrated and comfortable without feeling even a little bit sticky or thick.

Buyer beware: this one’s far from unscented, but, like my favorite Chanel Hydramax Tinted Moisturizer, I find the fragrance to be exceptionally fresh and impossibly French!

Chanel Hydramax + Active Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin is available online at Nordstrom.com for $72.00.
