Beauty Faves from The Stylist

shiseido spf lotionLast month Holly Ham clued us in on some of her favorite buys for early spring.  (read that here).  This month, getting us ready for spring break, she has some sunny  beauty reco’s for us.  Which ties in great with the Nordstrom’s Gift With Purchase promo also on scoop this week.  Her Must Have Sunscreen?  SHISEIDO Extra Smooth Sun Protection Lotion. Works for both face & body (although it’s too pricey for most of our bodies) and is very water resistant with spf 38.  For coverage plus sunscreen?  Again Shiseido, the Sun Protection Liquid Foundation spf 42.  This is the real deal…..the coverage and the protection are serious.  For a lighter alternative, their Sun Protection POWDER Compact Foundation with SPF.  Holly recommends Clinique’s Water Resistant Mascara to her clients, never any waterproof product.  ”The Clinique water resistants stays on without running and I never worry about literally losing lashes trying to get the product off.”

diorshow mascara navy blueHer numero uno summertime product?  Dior “Diorshow” Iconic Mascara in Navy Blue.  ”The blue is super-flattering, makes your eyes sparkle and the whites so much brighter.  Which is perfect with a little bit of summer tan.”
