Friday Five//The Beauty Edition Volume 3
(This post is sponsored by TL Communications but all opinions are my own. I truly do not recommend anything I am not using and loving myself. They gifted me everything except for the R+Co Thickening Spray)
It's Friday so you know what that means....it's time for another Friday Five beauty round up!
My beauty bag has been inundated with new beauty products to try – from new to me skin care products and some fabulous haircare items. All of the gems featured here have been personally reviewed by me and I have a feeling you are really going to love them.
Texture Spray /IGK
I adore this salt-free texturizing spray so much! If you know me well I love some beachy waves in my hair. This spray provides an easy, even lift and texture without being heavy or wet. It instantly adds texture and some amazing volume which I crave. It can be used on wet or dry hair all though I love it on dry locks. It just adds that sexy wind-blown look. And adds fullness, hold, and a cool matte finish. It's also formulated without Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates for you eco conscience babes. Get ready to fall head over heels for the IGK Miami scent, featuring lush, vibrant notes of guava, coconut water, pink lotus, midnight violet, and vanilla. My hair smells so good.....!! It’s cruelty-free and free of mineral oil, petroleum, and gluten and it’s color safe with UV protection. It's pretty much perfection in a bottle!!!

Face Moisture / H2O+ Beauty
My skin has been feeling so parched lately, especially my forehead. I hate products that feel heavy and greasy and I love that this Oasis Ultra Hydrating Cream from H20+ Beauty is so super lightweight. The cream-gel provides intense hydration that lasts for 24-hours while illuminating pigments and it instantly adds a radiant glow. I mean...hello, who wouldn't that?! The Water Lily Extract helps to condition skin and the Sea Grass Extract helps to promote skin’s ability to retain moisture. Illuminating pigments give dull, dehydrated skin a healthy glow. Emollient barrier Aesthigel helps increase skin's ability to retain moisture after 24 hours of use. And of course I love that it's eco conscience!!!

Boosters / H2O+ Beauty
These are new arrivals from H20+ beauty and I literally am so obsessed. You combine these boosters with your fave H2O+ serum or moisturizer!! The Infinity+ Wrinkle Reducing booster happens to be my favorite. This high-powered booster, containing a blend of Oat Kernels and Hyaluronic Acid, helps fight signs of aging and immediately improves the skin’s smoothness. I can see my skin changing before my eyes. The Waterbright Illuminating Booster will provide you with an instant glow. This high-powered booster contains concentrated beads filled with Vitamin C-rich Cucumber and Lemon extracts to help instantly brighten your complexion and even skin tone. And the Oasis Hydrating Booster instantly provides a surge of hydration when mixed with your favorite H2O+ serum or moisturizer. It contains concentrated beads filled with Vitamins A and E, delivering immediate and long lasting hydration. The result is a fresh, dewy glow and visibly plumped, healthy looking skin. I am having so much fun with these. And at only $38, I say get all three!
Body Moisture / H2O+ Beauty Body Butter Sticks
I am constantly on the hunt for body hydration....and if it's something I can easily travel with--all the better. These Body Butter Sticks from H20+ Beauty are just perfection. The Teak Rose is amazing. with it's delicious forest rose scent. Cheers to hydration and nourishment in a solid stick. Coconut Seed Butter and Coconut Oil helps to nourish and soften. Sunflower Seed oil helps soften and condition. And drum roll please...they are Travel/TSA friendly and formulated without Parabens, Mineral Oils, and Pthalates. The Lemongrass Vetiver is awesome too. It smells so clean! Just weep stick across skin, applying slight pressure. Use anywhere that needs hydration: legs, arms, hands, cuticles, knees, you name it darlings!
The H20 beauty On The Move Cleansing Stick is insane too...it's a gentle cleanser that's completely portable. Infused with a touch of Pearl extract, this solid face cleansing stick glides directly across your face and foams up without you ever having to use your fingers. This innovative format means no more suitcase spills, messy applications, or getting stopped by TSA. I am in LOVE!

Thicker Hair / R+Co Thickening Spray
Big hair, don't care was made for me. And it's no surprise another R+Co product made my list. DALLAS is the quintessential step to the mega blow-dry: It gives you the option of volume at the roots and control at the ends, as well as body and shine. In addition to mega-volume, DALLAS is perfect for roller sets, hot rollers and curling irons. And I cannot get enough of the warm romantic scent--Cardamom, Pineapple, Tangerine, Lavender, Bamboo, Blonde Woods...need I say more??!!! Love that this product is not sticky or heavy......and it really gives my hair that fuller look!!!
Enjoy these truly decadent beauty products...yeah, you're worth it!

I will be back next Friday with my fave five and I will be sharing some amazing stuff to create the perfect Labor Day picnic as we say Farewell to Summer.
