Product Review: L'Occitane Almond Apple Velvet Face Fluid

Every article about skincare stresses how important it is to use a moisturizer with sunscreen. And up until this point, I had not been able to find a moisturizer with SFP that I have liked. Most moisturizers with sunscreen that I had tried previously felt greasy and often irritated my eyes. L'Occitanes Almond Apple Velvet Face Fluid with SPF 40 is my new go to moisturizers. The Almond Apple Velvet Face Fluid is part of L'Occitanes line of natural beauty products. It really contains all of the things I need in a moisturizer; protection, moisturization, and toning action. The product goes on smoothly and doesn't feel greasy at all. The light fresh formula contains essential oils and almond proteins to help improve the skins elasticity as well as almond milk to soften. While the organic apple vinegar helps to tighten pores and the organic apple extract refines the skins texture. The light apple almond scent is really refreshing and revitalizing. And if you love the scent as much as I do it also comes in a shower gel. Available at L'Occitane $39.

TGIF Happy Weekend everyone!

Now that the sun is blazing and the days are hot, I want to wear bright colors and pretend I am headed to the boardwalk – instead of to work. These retro neon colors remind me of middle school (in a good way). All I need to do now is tease my hair and get a skateboard.

Shown: Matthew Williamson Dress $1,105, Converse Sneakers Neon $78 jades24.com, Travel wallet and passport holder $340 net-a-porter.com, Adidas Peachtree Neon Watch $73 asos.com, Bracelets $1.46 bluebanana.com, Retro Wayfarer Style Iridescent Neon Sunglasses $9.99 girlprops.com, Essie ‘Neons’ Mini Nail Polish

I believe in me

Thanks a lot for all your sweet comments



I don't know whether I should be counting down to my BIG day which is about 2 months away. I am beginning to get just a little bit nervous--I get this butterfly feelings in my stomach. I know everything to going to go well; it is just that bride-to-be feeling, I guess! I promise, I wouldn't be a bridezilla ;)

Anyway, hope everyone had a great weekend. Here is to another great week! Have a lovely week guys!

XOXO
