fresh beauty must-haves

fresh beauty must-haves, beauty tips, skincare, anti-aging, fragrance, hostess giftsMany years ago, Santa started stocked our stuffings with Fresh body lotion, soap and Brown Sugar Body Polish.  Thankfully, it’s a tradition that continues!  We love the way the fragrance of the lotion, and it is super moisturizing without being greasy.  Our favorite lotion is the sugar-lychee, but there are four other wonderful scents to chose from.  The soap comes in so many different scents, but the sugar-lychee is our go-to!  Each soap is individually packaged, and so pretty.  They make great hostess gifts!

Fast forward to this summer… while trying to beat the heat we spent the afternoon shopping at North Park Mall.  While we were there, we discovered the Fresh boutique.  This little store is so beautiful, and much to our surprise, we found that the Fresh line encompasses so much more than those wonderful lotions and soaps!  We learned about Fresh skincare, their anti-aging products and the amazing Sugar Lip Treatment.  Wow, have we been missing out!  From skincare to beauty to fragrance, the store literally has it all, including an esthetician!  Choose products to try for your treatment before you buy.  The boutique also has a “gift bar” where you can have your gift purchases wrapped up in the signature blue box, tied with a ribbon, and a cute little gift tag is included.  One-stop gift shopping?  Yes, please!  If you are in Dallas, do not miss checking out the Fresh boutique at North Park Center – it’s the only one in Texas, lucky us!

  • Creme Ancienne Eye Cream– this rich eye cream is provides great anti-aging benefits.  It’s super creamy, but doesn’t mess with your eye makeup application.  The formula is hand-blended in a monastery by a group of monks!
  • Rose Floral Toner– this is so refreshing- especially during these warm summer months. It smells so good and makes a huge difference in how skincare and makeup goes on after using it.  Keep the bottle in your fridge and spritz away as needed!
  • Soy Face Cleanser– this gentle, refreshing cleanser also removes eye makeup.
  • Rose Face Mask– made with rose petals, and feels amazing.  A great 10-minute mask before bedtime.
  • Sugar Face Polish–  a hydrating exfoliant made from brown sugar and strawberry seeds.  It brightens and smooths your face.
  • Sugar Lip Treatment– lip color, treatment and SPF all in one product.  It goes on like a dream and provides all day moisture, resulting in smoother, hydrated lips.  It comes in 11 different tints.  Our favorites are rosé (surprise!) and nude.

These are just the first products we tried.   We plan to go back and add to these as soon as possible!

black & white off the shoulder dress

Are you tired of seeing off the shoulder dresses yet?  We just can’t get enough of this style!  Especially since it hit 100 today, and the forecast still says the next 10 days will be 100+ degree days.  Typically August is our hottest month, and it is coming in with a bang!  In light of that, off the shoulder dresses have become our best friends.  They are cool, comfortable and can be styled so many different ways.

For a date night last weekend, Stia wore this off the shoulder dress and opted for lace-up flats instead of heels.  Did you see our post about lace-up flats last week?  We are definitely on board!  The detailing on this off the shoulder dress makes it just a little bit different than some of the others we have seen, and the darker color will make it an easy transition to fall.  Plus, you can’t beat the price tag!  Under $70 for this cute dress?  Yes, please!  Shop our favorite off the shoulder dresses at the bottom of this post.

On another note, we hope you will join us tonight from 4-7 pm at Saint Bernard in Dallas! Shoe designer Yosi Samra will be making a personal appearance, and signing his ballet flats for you.  There will be a trunk show with new styles for fall, along with shopping, champagne sipping, and Fluff pop gourmet cotton candy.  Sounds like a great way to spend a Thursday evening to us.  We hope to see you there!

We are officially in the dog days of summer here in Dallas.  For the next ten days, the forecast is for temperatures over 100 degrees – every day.  That’s hot.  This means either staying inside or in the pool, and planning errands at the best time to stay cool while getting in and out of a hot car.  Thankfully we don’t have to be out in the heat of the day too much!

It also means that between now and the start of fall, we will have plenty of opportunities to wear our summer clothes.  Time to add some new into the mix!  With that in mind, we found some great summer steals and deals this week, along with some new fall items.  This tunic dress with tassel trim is great for the pool or casual weekend wear, this swing dress will brighten up your day, and this summer sweater will be a great transition into fall.    Happy shopping!
