summery NPO

this is actually a New Product Obsession two-fer.  one of the things i love the most about summer is the smells.  the smell of the beach, the smell of the suntan lotions used there, the smell of all things related to long sunny days.  LOVE.  i'm pretty old school when it comes to suntan lotion smells - i like Coppertone.  plain and simple.  the after sun lotions have a bit more leeway, but i do like them to be in the "beachy" camp.

i recently discovered Mario Badescu Summer Shine body lotion and became instantly obsessed.  in all honesty i have liked every Badescu product i've tried.  they all work well and the prices are great. this one is a keeper for life.  it's not super glittery like some of the shimmer creams - it's juuuuust right.  and the scent is perfect.  it's light and beachy.  not too strong - but enough that every now and then you catch a whiff of it and have a little moment of yum.

obsession number two falls into the "i'm feeling a bit dry and a bit lazy" category.  it's a dry-oil spray from Sephora.   it has solved both issues.  my skin feels soft, and all i have to do is spritz.  done and done.  i got the coconut scent - and hello tropical beach vacation in my mind.


never more will i be without a bottle of each of these babies on my vanity.  summer lovin' indeed!
