Monday Beauty Scoops : Bobbi's Beach Club Is Open This Summer

How is everyone's weekend so far? I had a quite busy one. Ran around the town with my parents for car shopping, and then went out on Sunday to celebrate my sister's birthday. By the end of the night, I was ready to go home and have some relax time. Well, but here I am blogging and surfing the net.

• Don't let MAC shines alone. Check out the new Bobbi Brown Bobbi's Breach Club Collection ($22 ~ $75), which includes the new Beach Shimmer Brick ($38), Treatment Lip Shine SPF 15 ($22), Beach Body Oil ($28), and many other summer essentials. 
• Get ready for a sexy and hot summer with the new Smashbox Summer Essentials Kit ($42), exclusively available online. 
• Finally, the much raved about Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream ($22) has arrived at Sephora. 
• The new bareMinerals Flawless Definition Waterproof Mascara ($18) will not smudge or budge until you take it off intentionally.
• Dior's new fragrance Escale a Pondichery ($66 ~ $87) is so fresh and pretty.
• Ladies, always keep in mind that uv rays is the worst for our skin, so sunless tanning is the way to go. Let me introduce to you the new Clarins Delectable Self Tanning Mousse SPF 15 ($42).
• Did you know that the packaging of the new Prada fragrance Infusion de Tubereuse ($73 ~ $135) references to prints from the Prada fashion archives?
• I recently purchased the famous Clarisonic Plus ($225), and I have to admit that it is probably one of the best purchases I've ever made. However, I am seriously not a fan of the cleansers it came with. Well, worries no more because we have the new Clarisonic MIA with Murad Active Radiance Serum ($149).
• The new Stila One Step Primecolor ($22) is the perfect on-the-go makeup.
• The limited edition Marc Jacobs Splash ($68) in Apple seems to be the perfect scent for hot summer days.
