Summer is officially here, but the hot, dry, and sunny weather comes with the unfortunate risks for our skin. Sure, many would say the sun and tanning is fun and all, even when it often comes at high cost for our skin (and hair too!) - that discomforting dryness and aging skin. Was it worth it?

During the last few weeks, I've began religiously using the Vichy NutriExtra Extraordinary Oil, my new go-to nourishing facial and body oil, a definite saviour of dry, dull skin. It works surprisingly well!

While so many of you have already tried the infamous Ipsy Glam Bag, the May bag was my first. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the quality of the products and the service.

Haven't heard of Ipsy Glam Bag? Each month, subscribers will receive a beautiful Glam Bag with deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products. Members can watch and play along with the stylists with the same products that they are using. All for only $10 a month (or in my case, $15 including shipping to Canada).
