Summer Favorites and Must Haves

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful summer! I had a few spare minutes and wanted to share what I am loving this summer for your makeup and beauty needs!



E.L.F Nail Polish Remover Pads are THE best thing to keep in your purse! When I first got them I thought they were dried up. Well thats what you get for only spending a dollar, right? Wrong! Its almost like a dry oil that helps your cuticles and takes off your nail polish super fast. So when you put on your sandals and realize that your pedi is chipped, whip these out and your toes will look amazing in those wedges! you can get them at Eyeslipsface.com




When I worked at Sephora, dry shampoo was making a comback. I however thought it was brand new. I used all the spendy Oscar Blandi, Rene Furterer, Ojon, and they all worked. But... some smelled funny, left really obvious white streaks or ran out after maybe 20 uses. My mom told me about Pssst, which apparently wasn't so new and was from the 70's. It is under $6, smells sort of like Bath and Body works Coconut Lime Verbeena, and best of all... lasts for a few months rather than a few trys. Also has an Allure sticker!! Check it out at your local drug store!













Vincent Longo Hydro Stick
During the summer our makeup can sweat off. I love this Hydro stick as a cream blush set with a little bit of powder. Stays all day!! Ulta.com and locations carry this product.





Alterna Leave in Conditioner
I have been growing my hair out and trying not to use alot of heating products. In the meantime I needed something to help my curly hair get some more moisture when it drys. This product has hemp in it which is known for its moisture locking properties, also avocado, shea butter and other natural products. This and a little salt water in a spray bottle gives you the perfect beach waves look right out of your shower!



Burts Bees Radiance Lotion


I haven't been able to find a good NON self tanner lotion to just give you a little glimmer over the past few summers. We all love Burts Bees and this lotion is great. Same natural ingredients we expect, some Mica that gives a radiance but not sparkle. It smells like the blue RALPH fragrance. Brings me right back to highschool! Under $9 and your leggs will look great and toned in shorts or sundress!
