NEW Back to School Beauty

More back to school fun things--in fact, I'm sharing a few more Back to School posts next week, too! But first up, I've got a few new beauty products I was sent you might want to add to your shopping cart (or buggy as we say in the South). Let me know your faves!

H a i r

KORRES Almond & Linseed Hair Mask is an ultra-nourishing hair mask with hydrating almond and nourishing linseed help prevent future breakage and split ends. Vitamin B3 and provitamin B5 help completely restore the appearance of hair by improving shine, feel, and flexibility. Love the way this smells and how it makes my hair feel. Great treatment. $22.50 Sephora.com

S k i  n

ACURE Brightening Facial Scrub, a fave of Kristin Cavallari, is a cell stimulating scrub with oceanic ingredients. Organic Sea Kelp gently exfoliates your skin while French Green Clay and Organic Lemon Peel remove impurities from your pores--a must in the summer. I've loved how this has helped brighten my skin. Total steal at $9.99 at acureorganics.com.

KP Elements Body Scrub and Exfoliating Skin Cream--Look at your arms-do you have lots of rough red bumps? If you do, you might have keratosis pilaris, something that affects half of the population. I have it and have been treating it with the KP Elements Exfoliating Skin Cream--I've written about them before. But the body scrub is new to me and I've loved the combo to make my skin smooth. $29-$35 kpelements.com

M a k e u p

Gerard Cosmetics Star Powder in Audrey--Channel your inner blonde bombshell, glam gal, or funny leading lady. Inspired by iconic Hollywood starlets, these lightweight powders (I use it as a highlighter) each add a hint of color and a whole lot of movie star shine. Shades include Lucy (rose gold), Marilyn (golden), and Audrey (champagne). We all know I love a good highlight! $29 whiteninglightning.com

Edward Bess Black Sea--A breakthrough lip-tint innovation that drenches the pout in a super-creamy wash of color. This is the most moisturizing lipstick I've ever tried--it's infused with shea butter, jojoba oil, aloe vera, and algae to help nourish your lips. Available in three (3) colors: Sunset Allure, Mystic Passion and Blushed Dune (pictured). An absolute luxury at $31 at qvc.com

N a i l s

SinfulColors Back to School Collection--You already know this is one of my fave drugstore nail polish brands--I've featured them many times here. So for the latest Back to School collection, there are 27 shades. Dusty pastels and pops of color come in a demi-matte finish. Denim blues shimmering silvers, purples and teals with eye catching 3D glitters look just as chic during a night out on the town as they do in class the next day. $1.99 at Walgreens

Let me know which ones you liked the best!

Extra Elle:

• I picked up a tiny bouquet at Whole Foods (pic here on my Insta) and it instantly cheered me up. I know a lot of people are anti-flowers but I loved them!
