I feel like this year is different than years previous.
Normally I have a BB cream or tinted moisturizer and so far this year I haven't put one on my face, I've been embracing my skin while it's behaving.
I have been loving freckled, bronzed skin and natural looking mascara.
Not much skincare is included in this post, but you can check out my current routine here.
-I am loving bronzer, I've never really been one for it until this year and this Hourglass one (Diffused light) is killing it for me.
-While I am not using a tinted moisturizer or foundation, I still feel the need to conceal and I like the Nars complete concealer (vanilla) for this. It blends in nicely to my own skin tone and creasing is almost non-existent.
-I received this Charlottle TilburyXNorman Parkinson Color of Youth healthy, happy lip & cheek glow, in my lucky bag from Beautylish earlier this year, and I thought nothing of it at the time. But the coral color and the fact that it's a multi use cream has been amazing for this warm weather!
-Hylamide HA Primer, provides a nice blurring effect and canvas for all this rose-y cheeked, bronzey-ness.
-I just started using the Lancome juicy shakers about a month ago and I am in love. I'm not much of a lipstick person so these are perfect for me. I love this one in Freedom of Peach for Summer.
-For bright under eyes I've been using this Becca under eye corrector for quite awhile now and would highly recommend it.
-Lastly my favorite mascara this year, Buxom Lash Mascara. I love the wand, love the separation, love the length it gives, and best of all I can work all day and not have a smudge under my eye.
-Becca's Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal, I can't believe I haven't used this sooner. Such a pretty glow for Summer without looking 'shiny'.
-CoverFx click highlighter in bubbly, I love highlighting my top lip with this or using it under a powder highlight for an extra glow.
-Clarins lip perfector in 04Petal, is a great sheer Summertime gloss.
-Another product from the company Deciem (I know, I'm obsessed), this time from The Chemistry line, Heel Chemistry has saved my dry feet. I just think it is amazing. I apply it either before I go to work or right before bed, once a day and it's just been like magic. I'm not embarrassed to wear sandals or go barefoot.
-Last but not least, the brand as a whole that's been a winner for me is Sol de Janeiro. The smell of everything they produce is amazing and just is Summer to me. I was ecstatic when they released the
Brazilian Crush body spray and scooped it up instantly. I've never religiously used a body cream until now and this is my second tub of the Bum Bum cream. The shower gel, Brazilian 4-Play, I could just sit and smell it all day. It can be Summer all year long using this brand.
