Summer Beauty Essentials

Now that the weather is scorching, it's time to take extra precautions. It's important to pay closer attention to our skin and hair since they're so easy to damage! Here are some of my beauty essentials that will get you through the hot summer days!

1. BB Cream - This BB Cream from Garnier Fructis will give you just enough coverage without making you feel the heaviness of foundation. Imperfections will be blurred, and not to mention the SPF that will protect your skin from premature aging and other skin damage!

2. Lip Balm - There are many lip balms available, but one of my favorites is Rose Salve! It is a multipurpose product and is great for hydrating chapped lips. You could also try a different lip balm that has SPF if you'll be out in the sun!

3. Deodorant - This one is pretty self explanatory. Deodorant is a big help in the summertime. You're more prone to perspiration, and this 24 hour deodordant from Suave in "Sweet Pea and Violet", helps to keep the sweat away!

4. Bronze - If there was one color that represented summer, it would be bronze. A little bit of Maybelline's Color Tatoo in "Bad to the Bronze" or a shimmery bronzer like Nars' Bronzer in "Laguna", would be a simple way to give yourself that summery glow!

Summertime Colortime

It's summer and it's time to whip out those bright colors! Spring was home to pastels and soft shades, now it's onto neons and other loud swatches! There are so many ways to add color to your outfit. Try a bright colored tank, a pair of bright shorts, or the timeless summer fave; a maxi skirt! If you aren't feeling that daring, then try a simple accent. You can always add a pop of color to your outfit with a cute clutch, vivacious pumps, or even a headband. Get creative and remember to look chic!
