Every once in a while we like to stray away from talking about perfume and into other beauty products here. As the weather heats up, we all start wearing less clothes - short skirts, skimpy dresses, and bathing suits.

If you are heading out on a cruise or other holiday soon, you will want to look bronze and beautiful. If you have yet to build up a tan, you don’t need to bake in the sun or head to the tanning salon, instead you can apply a bronzer or instant tanning product at home.

One of my favorites is M·A·C Cosmetics Skinsheen Leg Spray. This light, mousse-like spray applies evenly over legs for streak-free color that is radiant yet natural. It’s not just for legs. You can use it legs, arms, shoulders, back and decollétage. It comes in three shades - Medium, Medium Dark and Dark.

Skinsheen Leg Spray is priced at £14.50 or US$22.50. This product is available at M·A·C stores or at the M·A·C website.

For the best coverage, you should apply it with a special body buffer available from M·A·C. This dense brush is specially designed for smooth and quick blending. You can also find the body buffer on the website.

Kimora Lee Simmons launched her new fragrance Baby Phat Fabulosity this week with a launch party at the Madison Room in New York. The new perfume is Kimora’s third (the first two were Goddess and Golden Goddess).

Baby Phat Fabulosity is named after her 2006 book, “Fabulosity: What It Is And How To Get It.”

Author, model, occasional actress and head of design for Baby Phat, Kimora and her husband Russell Simmons divorced in 2006. Kimora is currently dating model and Oscar nominated actor Djimon Hounsou, who can be seen in Calvin Klein Underwear billboard below.

Kimora began her modeling career at the young of 13 when she was chosen by top fashion guru Karl Lagerfeld to model for the house of Chanel in Paris. Kimora used her success as a runway model along with her keen sense of style to begin her own career as a fashion designer. Her Baby Phat label and everything else she has done has met huge success as she has now built a fashion and beauty empire.

You can shop her Baby Phat line at BabyPhat.com, where you can find clothing, handbags, shoes and much more. You can also find great fashions from The KLS Collection at kimoraleesimmons.com.

One thing I really love is her makeup. Check out her beauty collection where you can find fabulous eye shadows right now for only $7.00 each.

Beauty is important if you want to get noticed. Beauty can mean one or more of the following:

• Cute
• Smart
• Gorgeous
• Kind-hearted
• Handsome
• Sexy
• Stylish
• Fit

People generally want to be thought of as being beautiful and be with someone they consider beautiful.

In order to be beautifully you must take care of yourself. This does not mean that you are going to have to take a lot of time to do this. It can simply be that all you need to do is to take proper care of yourself.

Here are some of the ways in which you can go about doing this:

• Drink 8 to 12 glasses of water daily. This will help you to eat less and thus be in better shape. Try to do this regularly by keeping a water bottle with you.
• Eat a balanced diet that is rich in carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.
• Eat less calories and more nutrients, which are necessary to keep you healthy and beautiful.
• Keep the temperature in your room moderate and use a humidifier to keep your skin from becoming dry.
• It is a good idea to take a long shower, as this will automatically remove the dead skin from your body. However, you do not want to rub your body with your towel, but be gentle on your skin instead and thus pat it dry.
• Whenever you go out in the sun make sure that, you wear your sunscreen so that you do not get sunburn. Even a minor sunburn can detract from your beauty, now and in the years to come.

Take care of yourself to meet the optimal levels of your individual and unique beauty.

A beautiful woman will turn heads. To keep heads turned towards her she will need to be able to speak intelligently. School may be a chore and seem useless, but education adds to a beautiful mind to keep heads turned.

Follow beauty tips to look your best, but balance it with time for your studies.

Beauty isn’t skin deep, so have a beautiful mind to match your outer beauty.

During the summer, the heat and humidity can make keeping beautiful challenging.

One of the first things to do in the summer is protect your makeup from melt down before you apply it. Here are some hints:

• Store lipstick and other heat sensitive makeup in refrigerator
• Don’t leave purse with makeup in the car
• Remove any “backup” makeup from glove box or other storage place in car
• Put makeup in a small cooler with a blue ice pack when traveling long distances

Hair is exposed to the sunrays, heat, and swimming pool chemicals during the summer. Deep conditioning should be done at least once a week. Cover hair with a scarf or hat to protect it from sun damage. After swimming immediately, rinse hair. Wash and condition hair as soon as possible after leaving the pool. To reduce frizzyiness use a no frizz hair serum.
Skin should be protected from the sun’s skin damaging rays. The sun is the leading cause of wrinkles and skin aging. Wear sunscreen at all times, especially on the face. Apply moisturizers regularly. Wearing sunglasses will prevent wrinkles from squinting. Cover exposed skin with light airy material.

Makeup should be minimal during summer activities. Choose waterproof makeup that will withstand sweating. Brush on shimmery powder instead of heavy liquid foundation. Powder bronzer will help absorb excessive moisture when the humidity is high.

Enjoy the carefree days of the summer and keep makeup and hairstyles simple during hot and humid weather.
