Case of the Mondays - 6 Beauty Products To Help Tackle The Week

Just like that, it's Monday again. I'm a firm believer that another day is needed between Saturday and Sunday. Who's with me? Without further ado, here's this week's Case of the Mondays. Wishing you a great week ahead! 

Dove Nourished Beauty Dry Spray Antiperspirant, $5.49

Dove sent over the cutest gift to challenge me to #trydry. I spun a wheel of sprays and landed on Dove! The challenge called for a sweet activity at Magnolia Bakery. My fiancée and I headed to a Halloween themed cupcake decorating class and learned how to write letters with icing and frost the magnolia way. It's a lot more challenging than you might think. The result were some pretty delicious treats! I've been using my new Dove spray antiperspirant everyday and I'm really thrilled with the results. I stay fresh all day long and never have to re-apply. Perfect for a stressful Monday! 

Donna Karan Liquid Cashmere White, $108

I just added this scent to my Fall fragrance wardrobe and I love it more each time I wear it. Donna Karan just launched two new scents - Liquid Cashmere White & Liquid Cashmere Black. Liquid Cashmere White has notes of Italian Bergamot, Wild Rose Accord, Musk, Vanilla Bean, and more! Donna Karan says it reminds her of a sunrise: "a big smile of possibility you feel as you greet a new day." Liquid Cashmere Black is a bit more sultry. I love starting my day with the White version since it's soft and floral. Plus, who wouldn't love seeing that stunning bottle on their vanity?

Japonesque Pixelated Palette, $38

I love a new palette and this one is perfect for Fall. I created a beautiful smokey eye for Halloween the other day and used these shadows wet - they're so versatile and the pigment is stunning. At only $38, this palette is a steal.

Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Nude Kate, $32

I'm a sucker for any nude lip and this Charlotte Tilbury beauty is an instant fave. The packaging is luxurious and the lip shades are silky. The K.I.S.S.I.N.G lipstick collection is Charlotte's signature range of lipsticks with modern and classic icons in mind. Colors range from backstage nudes to red-carpet reds, made to suit any skin tone. Added bonus? The lipsticks are enriched with the antioxidant Lipstick Tree, a secret ingredient that naturally protects lips from UV damage.

Zest Fruitboost Revitalizing Shower Gel in Peach Mango, Price Varies

These new Zest shower gels are sweet as candy. I'm obsessed with the Peach Mango scent that leaves my skin smelling oh-so-good. The new collection comes in luscious fruit scents with moisturizers and skin nourishing Vitamin C. A definite boost in the shower!

Frank Body Creamy Face Scrub, $19.95

I've recently discovered the Frank Body line and can't believe I lived so long without it. I first tried their best-selling original shower scrub and was blown away by how soft my skin felt after. Then they sent over their new face care collection and I've used this scrub everyday since I received it. It's the same idea as their body scrubs, but a bit more gentle. It's an face exfoliator gentle enough to be used daily. I've noticed that I have no dry skin anymore and my face feels cleaner overall.
