Hey loves!  If any of you know me, you know that I live for warm weather and the sun!  So it’s no wonder that Summer is when Big City Beauty is happiest! ;)  Well not only does the sunshine make me smile, but the colors of Summer do too!  That is why I am so excited for Urban Decay’s new Summer collection that is out now.  From the eyeshadows to the nail colors, the setting sprays to the tinted moisturizers, this collection has what it takes to make us all feel a little closer to Summer.

The following items are what’s in MY shopping bag from the collection:

Summer of Love Eyeshadow Palette

Guardian Angel Spray Moisturizer (with SPF)

Summer of Love Nail Kit

To check out the rest of this fabulous collection, head on over UrbanDecay.com.  Because there’s nothing wrong with pretending Summer is already here! ;)

Until next time loves…  xoxo

But when you’re looking for a quick fix or just something to maintain your treatments at home, then you should definitely check out some of these recipes.

In Spa Magazine’s Jan/Feb issue, they mentioned some great facial recipes to help you get back that glow the winter months tend to take away.  For example, smash together about 2-3 figs and 1 tbsp of olive oil for a great exfoliating mask and leave it on for 5-10 minutes.  Or puree 1/2 peach with 1/2 cucumber and leave it on the face for about 20 minutes for the perfect tightening and brightening treatment.  With recipes as simple as this, making your own facial treatments at home can be a snap.

Head on over to spamagazine.com/diybeauty to get 13 more beauty recipes that cover everything from head to toe.  My faves are the Green Tea Toner, Moisture-Rich Lip Exfoliator and Revitalizing Foot Scrub.  And don’t forget to pick up this Mar/Apr issue out on stands now for a list of some great spa bath products you can use at home to extend the benefits of that blissful spa massage.

Until next time my loves…  xoxo
