Summer Beauty Must-Haves ☀️

Hey ya'll!

Today I'm sharing all of my must-have beauty/makeup items for this

ridiculously humid Summer we're having.

With my combo to oily skin, in humidity, I'm an instant grease ball so I'm always trying to combat the oil in the Summer months!

My first absolute NEED is a true to it's word, matte foundation.

For me, that's Clinique Stay-Matte.

I'm usually more of a BB cream person, but I'm just so impressed by

the mattifying power of this foundation.

The consistency of it is pretty thick and difficult to apply with a beauty blender, so I usually mix a little of my Garnier BB Cream into it so that it's easier to work with.

This foundation keeps me pretty matte ALL day even out in the humidity.

(Mine is in the shade Sand)

Next is my favorite setting powder & the same powder I use throughout the day for touch-ups.

The Neutrogena Shine Control powder is amazing!

It says it has rice protein, and while I'm not totally sure what that is, I think it must work wonders.

By far the best powder I've tried for controlling oil.

One of my all-time favorite, year round, eye shadows is L'Oreal Infallible in Iced Latte.

I use this all year round, but it's particularly gorgeous in the Summer with a tan!

It's also a near perfect dupe for Stila Kitten. ;-)

With all of Maybelline's new product releases, the Color Tattoo Chrome eye shadows have quickly become a favorite.

My go-to shade is Beige Luster.

The staying powder of this eye shadow is AMAZING.. Even when you're ready to take it off, it's not ready. Lol

I apply this with the wand, super easy.

It dries almost immediately, and lasts ALL day & probably night too.

I don't keep this in my purse because knowing me, I'd mistakingly apply it as lipgloss. LOL

It's my opinion that everyone needs a HiLight that beams into the heavens on a daily basis, but especially during the Summer months!

I recently discovered the Revolution brand in Ulta and am utterly obsessed with their Vivid Baked Highlighter in Golden Lights.

I have used it every time I do my makeup since I bought it.

It's gorgeous alone or on top of 1 or 2 other highlighters.

Lol.

My go to lipstick lately was something I originally had mixed feelings about.

NYX Liquid Lipstick in Lace Detail.

I bought this in the winter and just wasn't really feeling it with my pale skin, but now that I am more tan, I think it's the perfect summer nude for me.

Definitely a great product if you don't want to worry about touch-ups.

A favorite for a good all-over body glow is Hawaiian Tropic After Sun lotion with Shimmer Effect.

I've been using this for years and it never disappoints.

It smells great and doesn't leave any color transfer on clothing.

(I can't find this specific one, but I linked a similar item.)

A new, happy discovery this year has been this amazing product from Million Dollar Tan.

Their "All That Shimmers" dry oil is AHHHMAZING.

Literally life changing.

It isn't a "fake tan", but a temporary bronzer that'll wash off when you shower.

I love applying this to my legs. I mix it with my lotion so that it isn't too over-powering since it is fairly dark.

That about wraps this post up!

I hope you guys enjoy it!

Let me know in the comments what your favorite Summer time products are!

My Sun-Tanning Routine + How I Stay Hydrated in the Heat

Hey Y'all!

Today I wanted to share my tips & tricks to getting that perfect Summer time tan as well as how I stay cool & hydrated while out in the heat.

It's important to take care of your skin & stay hydrated especially when you're tanning as the sun dries your skin out.

My Sun-Tanning Routine:

The most important part of my routine is exfoliating and moisturizing! Moisturized skin ALWAYS tans/ holds tan better than dry skin. I dry brush every other day (minimum), I use my go-to sugar scrub in the shower at least once a week, and I moisturize daily after showering with either raw organic coconut oil or Vaseline cocoa radiant lotion (sometimes both LOL).

When I am laying out, I always apply at least a 30 SPF to my face & neck to help protect my skin and face.

My favorite tanning oil for sun-tanning is the Australian Gold Bronzing Dry Oil Intensifier!

This oil doesn't leave you greasy, and it has instant bronzer in it for immediate color.

While I'm laying out, I also like to fill a spray bottle up with pool water and continuously spray myself down. It helps you stay cool, and the chlorine in the water helps you tan.

Staying Hydrated:

When being out in the heat it's super important to stay good and hydrated to avoid getting over heated or dehydrated.

My favorite way to keep cool & hydrated is infused water

I'm addicted!

I keep an infuser pitcher full of water in my fridge (got mine at Bed, Bath, and Beyond).

I like to fill the infuser with lemon, cucumber, and mint.

When I am getting ready for the pool, I fill my cup up with ice & water and throw in a few extra wedges of lemon in.

Easy Peasy!

My favorite cup to use is from Starbucks, because it's my favorite color (obvi) and because the metal lining & straw keep my drink cold for longer than similar cups I own.

Not only does infused water taste yummy, but it also has some pretty cool benefits for you!!

It can help bloating, digestion, detox your body, and help your skin depending on what you choose to infuse your water with.

:-)

I think that about wraps this post up.

I hope you guys enjoy.

Have a hot and bronze Summer!!
