It only takes a few minutes to work, which is much faster than a facial mask or one of those blackhead-eliminating strips.

Scent Organix Perfume Sampler Set
If you’re planning to travel this summer and don’t want to bring a large, cumbersome bottle of perfume with you, you will love the Scent Organix Perfume Sampler Set. It comes with four different 2ml fragrances. I Am Bright is my personal favorite. It has a light beach-inspired scent with coconut, pineapple, and tropical flowers. So Serene is a woodsy fragrance with notes of green tea. Rise and Shine combines citrus and hibiscus. I Am Radiant features more floral notes.
All of the scents are almost entirely naturally derived. They are also free of sulfates, parabens, and phthalates. While the sampler is sold on Amazon, the larger bottles are sold exclusively on the Scent Beauty website.
ScentBird
But if you like a larger bottle to travel with or like to try new fragrances on a regular basis, you will love ScentBird’s newest fragrance Red Panda by Sanctuary. It has a very luxurious scent with notes of blackcurrant and bamboo along with vanilla orchid, sandalwood, and jasmine.
This is also one of the few fragrances that comes with a dose of good karma. Twenty percent of all proceeds benefit the Red Panda Network which helps to save this adorable and sadly endangered species.
CAO Face Primer
Face Primer is an essential summer product. After all, you don’t want your makeup to sweat off in the heat.

Another reason to go with this primer is that it dries very quickly, so you don’t have to wait to put your makeup on.
