Aug 12, 2009

If you're a spa newbie or journeying to a destination for the first time, it's tricky to gauge how roomy your locker assignment will be. With a pair of workout shoes, change of clothes for yoga and swimsuit, your best bet is to go light on the beauty products. To make it easy for us, haute swimsuit designer Lisa Curran and natural beauty retailer Lavanila Laboratories and have teamed up with a Summer Essentials Beauty Kit by Lisa Curran for Lavanila. Pre-packed with all your must-have beauty essentials for the spa, products include a mineral-infused, sheer glossy Vanilla Lavender Lip Shine, shea and cocoa butter rich Vanilla Lavender Body Butter and their ultra-chic and highly effective Vanilla Lavender Healthy Deodorant (one of our personal faves!). The Lavanila skin savers are sweetly scented with a blend of Spanish lavender, rose, violet leaf and warm Madagascar vanilla and come in a Lisa Curran waterproof pouch perfect for storing your camera and sunglasses while you kick it by the pool. All Lavanila products are environmentally friendly and made with natural and organic ingredients. Their skin-loving formulas are also non-toxic, easily absorbed into skin to restore natural health and are completely free of parabens, mineral oil and synthetic dyes. Get the kit for $36 ($54 value) at Lavanila.com.

Also remember that resort and summer spa packages linger long after back-to-school hits. So, if your swimsuit looks shabby from a few too many soaks in the pool, check out the Summer Essenial Swimsuit Kit. For $175 ($220 value) you get the tote, lip shine and body butter plus your choice of Lisa Curran swimsuit from three flattering styles. Purchase the set at LisaCurran.com.
