Sephora // Sun Safety Kit

For the last seven years, Sephora has come out with their 'Sun Safety Kit', a collection of products with high a SPF and self tanners that will transform you into a bronze queen. This year, the kit contains 18 deluxe samples, a brush, and a large makeup bag. Two thirds of the profits are donated to The Skin Cancer Foundation so not only are you receiving a number of products by very respectable brands, you are also supporting an amazing cause. I had trouble getting my hands on this set because they sold out quickly online and not all stores have them in stock. Fortunately, they are back in stock now and you can pick one up! I haven't yet had the chance to try all the products since there are so many but my favorites include the Too Faced 'Chocolate Soleil' bronzer and the Dr. Brandt BB Cream. However, I was hoping that some of the products would be a bit bigger. For example, the Smashbox primer in this kit is the same size I got free of charge when I had purchased something else from Sephora. I guess I cannot really complain because it truly is a wonderful collection of products for only $30. I will let you guys know if there are some stand out products as I make more use of this set of samples. If you would like a more detailed description of what this kit contains, click here!

Aveeno // Tinted Moisturizer

Off the bat, I have to confess to a couple of things: I have never used a tinted moisturizer previous to this and I actually stole this off my dear mom. I had been looking for something that would provide some coverage to my still adolescent skin and would be suitable for the warm weather. I researched various BB creams and CC creams and was ready to buy the new Garnier BB cream when I stubbled upon the Aveeno Tinted Moisturizer in my mom's bathroom while looking for a new toothbrush [perhaps too much information]. Turns out that this product actually has a higher SPF than the Garnier BB cream and has a pump on the bottle which I always find handy. Now aside from the convenient packaging, the actual moisturizer evens out my skin tone and freshens up my complexion. Overall, it's great for daytime wear! My mother was nice enough to surrender it over to me since she is not an avid make up wearer. Thanks mom! Have you tried any tinted moisturizers?
