August 2023
I’ve been having such a nice, relaxing & enjoyable summer so far, filled with a lot of beautiful memories, family fun and leisure. Since I’ve been loving the summer energy so much, I’m excited to continue the vibes into August. I’m still riding the high of my summer vacations and getting back into the swing of things here in Arizona and one of the key themes that’s been present for me is gratitude. There’s really nothing like spending quality time with your loved ones that fills your heart with an extra surge of appreciation.
Look forward to exciting announcements and events coming up this month at Citrine, we have a few really fun activations planned! Enjoy the rest of your summer, beauties and keep glowing.
One of the latest updates we have here on our online storefront is the addition of our partner company, Green Beau. Green Beau is your source for all-natural men’s grooming products and we have added a few new brands to our site that are genderless, meaning that they are suitable for both him and her.
This body wash has stolen its place as number one in my shower. Primarily because I just LOVE the scent. It has a really reminiscent fragrance to me, giving me all the sensual feels with sandalwood and citrus. It’s a really nice body wash for summer because you can feel it removing sweat, oil and dirt, all while balancing the skin’s pH. The gel formula doesn’t strip the skin and I leave the shower feeling so refreshed, soft and supple.
I’m so excited that the limited edition Terra Fluida has now made its way as a permanent staple in the Ayuna collection. Since launch, I have been absolutely obsessed with this innovative treatment mask that gives such instantaneous results. This is truly a lymphatic drainage treatment in a jar and you can see the effectiveness after just one use. It’s a gel-based plasma that works to sculpt and contour the complexion while removing excess fluids and toxins from your face by stimulating microcirculation. If you’re looking for a really tight, supple complexion and a youthful glow, this is the treatment for you. If you experience any puffiness, especially under the eyes, this gives really transformative results, again just stimulating the release of fluids and giving a really lifted effect. It’s a total miracle-in-a-jar.
Multitasking products are definitely the move during the summer months. Whether you’re jet setting or just want something to pop in your pool bag, makeup that doubles as skincare that doubles as sun protection is such an ideal combo. This new launch from RMS has been flying off our shelves, but we’ve finally secured more of this illuminating, glowy SPF serum. It works somewhat like a CC cream to give you a really lightweight coverage that corrects any irregularities, all while giving you a soft-focus glow. Loaded with peptides and antioxidants, it’s working double time to brighten your complexion, leaving it with a lit-from-within glow. You can wear underneath your favorite complexion products or it’s beautiful on its own!
This multitasking protective serum was an absolute savior for me on my vacations this summer. It’s essentially your one and done skincare treatment when you know you’re going to be out in the sun all day. You’re getting a ton of really nourishing and hydrating active ingredients on top of SPF50. It’s formulated with Super Proteins, which is a 5 amino acid pentapeptide that works to stimulate & build collagen in the skin. The antioxidants from Ayurvedic superfruits and CoQ10 both work to defend against free radicals, UVA & UVB rays plus keep the skin barrier super supple & strong. It feels very lightweight on the skin so it also makes an excellent layering product. It sits beautifully under makeup as well. I would go in with my usual vacation skincare ritual and finish off with this and go straight in with the Kosas Glow I.V. and my skin looked so plump, radiant and luminous.
If you know me, you know I don’t stray far from my signature bronze eye and this summer was no exception. However, I have found my new forever favorite and holy grail eyeshadow palette. The Eyes On Me palette has been my BFF all summer. These really rich, warm, bronzey tones give the most beautiful shimmer & pop to the eyes. I’ve never used such pigmented, creamy, stunning shadows before and I’m so impressed with ALL of the Róen Beauty eye shadow palettes. You can create such a variety of gorgeous summer eye looks with this palette and it’s perfect to pop in your makeup bag for on the go, vacations, trips etc. I’m such a fan! You really can’t go wrong and they’re so, so easy to use. You can swipe them on with your fingers or blend them out with some of the luxurious eye shadow brushes.
