/Life should always be this sweet...
With the most sweet Strawberry-Kiwi flavor and the much needed SPF, these Tendertones Lip Balm from MAC will have your lips super soft, super sweet, and protected this Summer.
In a range of 10 beautiful Summery shades, there is at least one or two of these that should be on your lips.

Surprisingly, especially when just looking at it in the pot, Tread Gently is my favorite shade. It looks pretty on it's own, but so gorgeous over a bright pink lippie.
Check these out and let me know which ones you scoop up. They are just $14.50 at MAC Cosmetics, of course.
I Think I Found It - The Ultimate Tinted Moisturizer from CHANEL.
/I have been obsessed with finding a new tinted moisturizer for this Summer. Not that I am totally un-happy with DuWop Revolotion Face (my tinted moisturizer fave for last year), it is just that it is almost sometimes too thick.
After trying a few new ones already this year, I think I can officially claim my favorite as this: CHANEL HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE TEINTÉ Active Moisture Tinted Lotion SPF 15.

I love the light, non-greasy formula. This product is easily applied with my fingertips or a sponge for a bit blending - making it a fast alternative to foundation. It also delivers the right amount of hydration for my dry skin, with sun protection and the perfect of coverage to give my complexion a finished glow. Just the perfect blend of everything.
With my faux-tan, Sand is my perfect shade. Shade is the medium shade with two others shades, Bronzelit and Sunlit available as well. $55 seems to be a bit much, but thinking of it as not just a makeup product and a CHANEL Precision Skincare moisturizer where no other daytime moisturizer is needed, then it is very well worth it.
Active Moisture Tinted Lotion is available at specialty stores and CHANEL.com.
