Summertime is FINALLY here! Sabir and I are driving down to Charleston, SC next weekend to hit up the beach & I CANNOT WAIT! Anyway, I was thinking of what to pack for this trip and realized that a lot of these products are essentials for summer – things that I repurchase every year around this time. I hope you find something here that you come to love! Let me know what your favs are as well – I’m always willing to try something new :).
my SUMMER ESSENTIALs
honey bronze shimmering dry oil
// This is a summer staple. It gives you a such gorgeous (subtle) glow! I apply it on my chest, shoulders and collar bone whenever I go out. It does have a beachy scent to it, so if that’s not your thing, maybe try the one by Fenty.
sun bum original sunscreen spray
// You will not get sunburned with this bad boy haha. I love it because it protects you from harmful UVA/UVB rays while enriching your skin with vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps to neutralize free radicals, which are the main cause of premature skin aging.
it cosmetics your skin but better cc+ illumination
// You can tell this thing has gone through it haha. The reason I love using this CC+ cream in the summer is because it has an SPF of 50+ and you KNOWWW I am trying to stay out of the sun.
f-balm electrolyte water facial
// Love this face mask! I am ordering the full size because it is extremely hydrating. I put it on at night before I go to sleep and when I wake up, my skin is hydrated and no longer dry!
bobbi brown crushed oil-infused gloss // pink sunset
// This is my first crushed oil lip gloss and I am in love. It lightly tints your lips while hydrating them! Plus, it’s not stick at all.
bobbi brown highlighting powder // moon glow
// Bobbi Brown highlighters are an original. They are so beautiful and elegant! I have moon glow and it is the most beautiful champagne highlight I own! You have to get past the first layer before it really starts shining on your cheekbone!
sally hansen airbrush legs // Medium glow
// If you have never used this – ORDER IT NOW! It is a game changer. I mix this in with my lotion whenever I wear shorts / skirts / dresses and it makes your legs look PERFECT. Like you’re wearing stockings but actually..you’re not.
bobbi brown beach perfume
// This perfume is the epitome of summer. It smells like what you think of when you go to the beach haha; a really good smelling sunscreen. I’m obsessed with it and think it’s worth every penny.
sunglasses
// My current favorite sunglasses from Amazon. They’re perfectly oversized and a dupe for the Celine ones!
the final five...
This perfume smells sooo good. It’s light, flirty and has notes of vanilla!
I’ve been using this lip mask for years! It’s so hydrating and leaves your lips plump! I use it at night and in the morning while doing my makeup!
This bra is perfect to wear in the summertime! Especially when wearing backless tank tops and dresses! I buy one every summer and it makes such a huge difference!
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer // Radiant Bronze Light
I have been using this bronzer since college and do not plan on going back! It is the best one I’ve ever owned! It looks extremely natural and blends very easily. I usually buy a new one each year [that’s how long it lasts]!
Bondi Sands Self Tanner // Ultra Dark
One of my favorite self tanners. Since I try to stay out of the sun, I don’t get as tan as I used to. This gives me the color I’m looking for without baking for hours haha.
