Summer Favorites- The 6 Items You Need in 2015!

June 8, 2015

With the sunny weather upon us, I wanted to share some of my favorite beauty items to look hot while it’s hot! (haha punny?) Most of these have been long time favorites!
 

Buxom Hot Escapes Bronzer in Tahiti– See Review Here
This is a glowy bronzer with no noticeable shimmer. It smells like coconut and paradise! I love using this to warm up the face and pretend I’ve just been on vacation in Mexico.

ELF Single Eyeshadow in Sunset– Hauled this Jan 2013
A beautiful color to use as a one shadow look. It adds just a bit of warmth to the eyes and helps to brighten up and open your peepers.

Benefit Bella Bamba– Hauled this May 2012
A long time favorite of mine. This smells like something fruity and gives gorgeous glow and color. I also use this in my cheekbones sometimes and it can double as a contour as crazy as that sounds!

NYC Nail Polish in Lincoln Square– One of my all time favorite shades! I had to throw mine out because it’s all goopy now but I’ve used it for at least 2 years. See swatch here. It’s just this beautiful mid tone pink with a hint of purple. It’s opaque in two coats and dries very quickly.

Rimmel Show Off Lacquer in 303 Apocaliptic– This color is B-O-L-D. It smells like watermelon and is such a fun color! The product is quite liquidy and you have to be a bit careful when applying but the color is super in your face and looks absolutely beautiful against a barely made up face.

NYC Waterproof Eyeliner in 936 Sky High– This is a really bright blue with fantastic pigmentation! It goes on nice and smooth and would work really well as a bottom eyeliner. See a look I did using this eyeliner.

Have you tried any of these products before? Let me know what your summer favorites are!

It has been a minute since posting 😅 the first two It has been a minute since posting 😅 the first two weeks with a newborn have been full of challenges and adjustments. But it's nice to take a break and go through some of my beauty products as a break 🤭.

Here are my top three face creams for the changing weather especially if you have dry skin!

Swatched from left to right: clarins, drunk elephant, aestura 

👌  moisturizing face creams for dry skin

Clarins Extra Firming: I love the day and night version of this cream. The night is even more heavy duty and creamy so sometimes I use the day version only 💫

It's got a beautiful scent and amazing collagen technology to plump the skin!

Aestura Atobarrier Lotion: this is a newer korean brand thats available now at Sephora. Part of the amorepacific family, so you know it'll be good!

The packaging is very simple and unassuming but I love how this soothes the skin! Its quite lightweight in texture but I used this when I was sick and it saved my nose after blowing into tissue a gazillion times a day! 🩵

Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier: im always a big fan of drunk elephant. This one is my favorite face cream from the brand. I love the pump packaging and this is perfect if you want hydration and barrier support!
