Summertime – it’s the perfect moment to highlight the latest in beauty and inner wellbeing innovations, just in time to add to our daily regimes.
Following are some of my discoveries in the areas of skincare, cosmetics, and wellness.
Recently, I stumbled upon one of the most luxurious beauty and skincare lines I have every experienced – marocMaroc products are made with unique Moroccan botanical ingredients, formulated for the most sensitive skin, are non-comedogenic and free of silicone and mineral oils.
Treat yourself in the comfort of your home with marocMaroc’s luxurious collection of products that rival those of Europe’s finest best spas. My favorites from the extensive line include Miel d’Ambre, a rich body scrub packed with grains promoting “infinite sensations” that will leave one detoxified and radiant, the rich Nourishing Body Cream and the L’Or et L’Argan, an elegantly scented, silky shimmering body oil containing gold, mother-of-pearl.
My latest finds in the makeup realm include LaJeanell’s line, featuring a mascara, a lip liner, a Moonlight Lume Pod, and a multi-purpose lip, cheek, and eye product, available five shades. The brand strives to provide a solution for busy and healthy lifestyles. 
“This all-in-one make up stick is all you need for your lips, cheeks and eyes adding a simplicity to a beauty regimen,” comments founder, former model Shirley Powell. “Just adding mascara and highlighting the top of the cheeks, or even shoulders for a summer glow. with LaJeanell’s Lume Pod, provides a glowing and enhanced look.”
Viewers of RHOBH all envy cast member Lisa Rinna’s lush full lips. We now can achieve the star’s signature look with Rinna Beauty’s recently launched lip collection, with colors, lip kits, glosses, lip liners and oils that take our pouts to the next level. The versatile glosses are perfect for a light pop of glamour at the beach.
MyCHELLE Dermaceuticals Sun Shield Liquid SPF 50 is one of the best tinted SPF moisturizers on the market today, available in five shades. The liquid tints offer UVA/UVB broad spectrum protection while simultaneously performing as an amazing foundation for makeup with a matte finish, due to the inclusion of bentonite clay which absorbs excess oil to reduce surface shine. 
The eyes definitely have it! Sunglasses and protecting your eyes are not just important for summer. Southern California’s Kaenon sunglasses new Essentials line is handcrafted in Japan and features the same superior quality polarized SR-91 lenses the brand is known for in its Italian-made slightly pricier collection. 
MesoLyft’s Rejuvenating Gloves, UV-free, touchscreen, thermal beauty gloves made from synthetic material, with a built-in LED infrared light, work wonders for sun damaged hands. The gloves, available in three sizes, help to firm, tone and reclaim radiant, youthful skin in just minutes. The gloves improve the appearance of wrinkles and sun damage, decrease inflammatory and oxidative processes, and increase the cells’ metabolism. 
Now for our visage…innovative skincare brand Fleur & Bee has taken their plant-powered skincare products to the next level with its new retinol serum ‘A’ Game, which pairs 0.1% retinol with several vegan superfoods, including green tea, jojoba oil, and dandelion. The high-performance serum is still gentle and less likely to cause irritation.
Have you heard of Lubormirskia? Elina Organics‘ vegan, cruelty-free, handmade anti-aging Baikal line featuring a Baikal Crystal Face Infusion, Eye Infusion, Lip Infusion and Balm, which revitalize the skin with the Lubomirskia freshwater sponge, found only in Lake Baikal, the world’s largest freshwater lake.

Dr. Nigma Talib has collaborated with KIND.EST, the lifestyle platform of actress Kate Bosworth, to launch THE SERUM.

With its 100% vegan formula, free of any harmful chemicals such as parabens, colorants, lanolin, polyethylene glycol and others, the hair oily will revitalize lifeless, dull hair.
RevAir has been a favorite of mine for several years. My biggest critique was the size of the product. Well, RevAir has created a new model that is smaller, quieter and lighter, designed to dry, stretch, smooth, and lengthen all hair types in less than half the time of traditional blow dryer/flat iron combinations. RevAir uses a patented technology that dries hair in the natural downward direction of the cuticle to lock out frizz and seal in shine, using low heat, offering a healthier styling option.
