FMM's Favorite Beauty Sprays!

I'm obsessed with facial mists! I just love how they balance my skin while keeping it refreshed, particularly on a hot summer day!  While I've tried many, there are a few that certainly stand out as favorites of mine!  I love that they're all unique in their own way and offer a variety of reasons to love them to pieces!

Tatcha's Dewey Skin Mist holds prime real estate in my nights stand! I love that with a few quick spritzes, this beauty boosts hydration with skin loving ingredients resulting in dewy, luminous skin anytime, anywhere!  It's a wonderful last step to my skincare routine that leaves my skin feeling and looking simply amazing!

I recently discovered Caudalie's Beauty Elixir 'Eau De Beaute' while on my trip in LA! Serein of Dress Yourself Happy actually introduced me to this beauty.  One spritz of this part serum mist part essential oils spray and your skin will feel alive and refreshed.  You'll immediately notice a cooling effect on your skin (kind of like the feel of peppermint) that is incredibly refreshing.  I'd say, it's like a cup of coffee for your skin... this baby will wake you right up!

Jane Iredale Hydration Spray is an ECOCERT certified product that plumps and hydrates your facial skin cells.  The 100% natural, 30% organic formula balances your skin's pH levels and oil production. This beauty is designed to calm and fee your skin while setting minerals.  The bottle is very travel friendly making it easy to take this beauty everywhere!  Major bonus, it smells so pretty!

Last year, on my trip to Portugal, i discovered a super inexpensive drugstore product that rocked my skin.  I purchased a bottle of Rose water for under one euro and loved the way it make my skin feel.  I used it after cleansing my skin by simply using a cotton ball drenched in this goodness to sort of balance everything out.  I quickly ran out, but thankfully i found Smart Bomb Cosmetics created 'Rose to the Ocassion' which is essentially a similar version of my beloved rose water in a spray form (even better if you ask me)!  This beauty is a great toning spray.  I love that you can use it after you cleanse your skin as well as after cosmetic application to refresh your skin.  It has wonderful anti-aging properties and smells like you're in a room full of roses!

These are my current favorites!  As you can see, they're all unique in a way and serve a variety of purposes.  I like to keep one in my makeup bag at all times because i find that a quick spritz of one of these beauties is the perfect 'pick me up' throughout the day.  I especially love to travel with one of these.  Seriously, the air on an airplane is so harsh on your skin and a beauty spray will quickly refresh and liven your skin right up!  So lets chat... do you have a favorite beauty elixir?  Tell me all about it! Thank you so much for reading! Xo, Carla - FMM

Beauty Bar - Sample Society with Allure

So yesterday i received my FIRST Beauty Bar Sample Society with Allure box!  I was particularly excited about this one because I'd read good reviews about it.  It arrived beautifully packaged in a very chic black box sporting the Beauty Bar Sample Society logo.  The inside was clad in fancy silver tissue paper adorned with a slight sheen making this box look and feel extremely luxurious.  I knew immediately if the samples were anything like the packaging, i was in for some really great stuff!  After peeking through the tissue paper, you will find a brochure complete with everything you need to know about each item in your box.  It also includes a $15 coupon code to use on purchases of $50 or more at www.beautybar.com.  The first item that caught my eye was the BAMBOO Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist.  This item is perfect for beach season!  I'd never tried this particular product, however, i have tried and loved other BAMBOO products.  The next product is an eye cream by Caudalie.  I have to admit, this is the first Caudalie product i have ever tried.  I like the way it feels and will use it all until it's gone!  I love eye creams and use them everyday!  The next product is a beautiful fragrance called 'Live in Love' by Oscar De La Renta.  It's very light and floral making this a perfect fragrance for the warm weather ahead!  I'm particularly excited to have received the 'Just Kissed Lip Plumper' by Jane Iredale.  I've tried similar products in the past and was not a fan of the way they made my lips feel.  The color 'Tokyo' is light and flattering.  Now lets talk about how it feels... you will notice immediately a very cooling sensation on your lips.  Almost as though you've just been kissed by a peppermint candy! It's kind of an interesting feeling, one i don't actually mind this time of year.   I'm invisioning that on a hot summer day, it'll be kind of nice knowing at least my lips will be keeping cool right?  Lastly is a Murad clarifying cleanser that caters to acne issues.  Thankfully i do not have this problem, though i do get my occasional breakout.  When that happens, I'll be armed with my Murad clarifying cleanser so be afraid acne... be very afraid!

Well, that concludes this box.  Hope you liked my review.  I paired this review with a video so feel free to click below and see for yourself.  I'd love to know your thoughts on this box.  What are some of your favorite monthly delivery boxes?
