Orange You Pretty!

Orange Essentials: Carol's Daughter, Lancome, Essie Polish, Bobbi Brown

Orange Essentials From Carol's Daughter, Lancome, Essie & Bobbi Brown

This summer, orange is in!  From fiery shades of polish to citrus scents, here are my favorite picks!

Orange Ambrosia Shea Souffle by Carol’s Daughter: One whiff will awaken and delight your senses.  This isn’t just another creamy concoction. This is aromatherapy in a jar.  The best part?  It’s fast absorbing, non-greasy and still nourishes and soothes dry skin. $21 *Also available as a cleansing gel.

Herban Essentials’s Orange Towelettes keep hands and nails feeling clean and smelling fresh without drying your skin or threatening your manicure.  The real plus? Each towelette provides a burst of citrus that will lift your mood.  What I love about them is that they have multiple uses.  Use them to clean your cell-phone or keyboard, an impromptu air-freshener for your car or office, or take them to the gym to freshen up after a workout. $15

Essie’s Summer Collection boasts two orange hues:  Brazilliant (left) is  a bright crayola-worthy color for care-free days and fun-filled nights.  Meet Me At Sunset is a coral with flecks of red-a little more serious, but just as H-O-T! $8

Bobbi Brown’s Shimmer Brick in Nectar: This compact gives you a variety of shades to choose from.  Use the colors together to highlight your blush or separately to accentuate cheeks or eyes.  The result, colors that blend into a shimmery glow that enhances your smile. $39

Lancome’s Coral Ribbon is a smooth, creamy formula.  Don’t let the “coral” fool you.  There’s nothing peachy about it, this is a true orange-but it hints red.  If a shimmer is more of your thing, try Groupie (not shown) a bronzed orange that compliments your summer glow. $22
