Lets talk about some all-time favorite beauty products that I always have with me. Each of these were recommended to me by a friend of family member and it was love at first use. These products also won’t break the bank.
NIVEA Creme: I have been using this creme since I was born. My grandma always told me if I use NIVEA Creme, I will always look young. Developed in europe - it has been around since 1911. The thick texture is soothing on sun kissed skin and even lips. It has been the only product that cures rough, wind blown skin after a day on the mountain, beach or after surfing. A large tin is around $9 and lasts for months.
Palmer’s COCOA BUTTER FORMULA: Introduced to me by an old friend and roommate from Whistler, this is an excellent drug store find. Great all over body lotion any day or after getting a bit of sun. It also helps protect against stretch marks and so far so good! The smell of the cocoa is authentic as they use real oils - not like other products on the market that use an artificial scent that is so strong it is almost nauseating. Their new squeeze bottle is perfect for traveling ladies - no mess from the pump. $6 at drugstores.
True Blue Spa - Malibu Waves Spray: As a girl trying to save for the bigger things in life these days it helps when you find products like this one that mimic the more expensive versions. Previously a die hard Bumble & Bumble Sea Salt Spray fan, my bestie out in Ontario discovered this great product from Bath & Body Works. It adds a beautiful texture to the finest hair - like mine. You can’t overdoes on it either, so the more the better to create texture for beautifully set curls or a tossed just-came-out-of-the-ocean look. Great for Vancouver hair as well because of the large amount of rain we receive. It also boasts an amazing coconut scent so the beach is always with you. $12 at Bath & Body Works.
