Cool Off With Face Mist

FabSugar — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 16:12:33 -0700

Labor Day Weekend marks the official end of summer. But since many of us are heading to the beach, it's not time to retire those summer beauty rituals just yet. If you're traveling to warmer climates, try taking along a bottle of refreshing face mist, which can keep your skin cool, moisturized, or protected from the sun, depending on the product. Here are some cool face mists to try.

Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist, $22, available here

This vitamin-enriched spray-on toner is good for freshening up your face after a hot day at the beach. The organic solution also contains aloe, so it's a good soother if you get too much sun.

Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Body Mist Sunblock SPF 45, $11.99, available here

This super-charged sunblock feels icy cool on contact and protects your skin at the same time. Plus, the no-fuss spray doesn't feel greasy.

Two more, so read more

Skyn Iceland Artic Face Mist, $35, available here

This somewhat indulgent product is little more than a chilled face spray that contains mineral water, but it's a refreshing way to cool down on hot days.

Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray, $19.50, available here

Billed as a way to quench "thirsty skin," this moisturizing spray keeps your skin from drying out when it's exposed to the elements.

Mark Makes a Greek Vacation Into an "Instant" Reality

BellaSugar — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 10:00:45 -0700

This summer, two huge films feature the Greek Isles in their backdrop: Mamma Mia! and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, which opens today.

While a trip to the Greek Isles will have to remain a fantasy for me just this second, I can thank Mark for bringing an "instant vacation" right to me with their Mark Instant Vacation Greek Isles Fragrance Mist ($15).

I love the turquoise blue bottle, which reminds me of the bright waters and skies of Greece. Floral notes such as gardenia and white freesia impart a lighter tone than the predominately honey-and-coconut scent. It's a warm, slightly fruity fragrance with decent staying power (plus, it's not overwhelmingly heavy). I also like the fact that even though it is reminiscent of warmer climates, it can be spritzed well into any season. It isn't the most distinctive scent you'll ever try, but it's pleasant and fresh. One day I hope to spend more time in this beautiful Mediterranean island. For now, I'll take this journey - even if it's really only in the aromatic sense.

New Product Alert: Shu Uemura Deep Sea Water Facial Mists

BellaSugar — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 07:00:25 -0700

Shu Uemura Deep Sea Water Facial Mists ($24) are the perfect solution the dehydration caused from the summer sun. These natural aromatherapy spritzers come straight from Japan's Cape Muroto in Kochi Prefecture, where the Shu Uemura manufacturing facility is based.

The origin of this water is one of three locations believed to have the purest water in the world. They contain 60-plus minerals that nourish, hydrate and balance out your skin and are helpful in treating eczema.

I have tried the orange blossom scent and it feels like you are spraying on a combination of herbal tea and a very light moisturizer on your face. It's a wonderfully delightful treat in the heat!

To use, spray away on your face or hair as often as you like. The bottles are available only in 150 ml sizes, but they come in eleven different fragrances. For a complete list, read more
