Summer Beauty Favorites

Hello beauties! Yesterday I posted some wonderful one-pieces and even though today it's raining buckets, I thought I would continue "springing into summer" by sharing my summer beauty favorites. For me summer is all about easy, low maintenance make up with a focus on sun protection. It's a time to focus on healthy skin and playing up your natural beauty by keeping your look sheer and not too done. Here's what you'll be finding in my makeup bag this summer!

Summer Beauty Buys 2013




1. Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid Cleansing System - Kick off your summer beauty routine with a morning scrub with this compact and contoured power scrub brush. I love the idea of being able to go with minimal makeup during the summer so great skin is a must have. I have seen a notable difference with my pores and my skin feels tighter since I started using this system. It's so inexpensive, I highly recommend!

2. L'oreal Sublime Bronze Tanning Towelettes - My BFF Taylor turned me on to these towelettes and I am hooked! I love the streak free natural color I got from these towels. No oompa loompa orange and easy to apply. Self tanner holy grail!

3. Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response - I have been using this deodorant for about a month now and I really am loving two things about it for summer. First, the smell is really fresh and almost citrus-y. Second, it really lasts all day long even when I have an extra active day. I imagine it will work fantastically in the 100+ degree temps of the summer months in Texas.

4. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer - A cult favorite Laura Mercier is my go to foundation replacement. What makes it perfect for summer is the light coverage, great color and it's SPF 20.

5. Nars Multiple Stick In Orgasm - Everyone loves Nars orgasm blush but have you ever tried the world famous color in their multiple stick? I tote this baby wherever I go all summer long. It's the perfect sheer cream blush and lip color, in the best peachy pink shade all in an easy to carry compact tube.

6. Tarte Waterproof Mascara - All natural and pool proof mascara. Love the extra curl my lashes get from Tarte's mascara and it doesn't bother my summer allergies due to being paraben, sulfate and fragrance free.

7. Peter Thomas Translucent Powder - Admittedly, I have not tried this product BUT it's been all over Pinterest and it's absolutely peaked my interest. Here is the claim:  

"Peter Thomas Roth Oily Problem Skin Instant Mineral SPF30 works immediately to block out the sun's harmful UVA, UVB, and infrared rays to help prevent sunburn, skin damage, freckling, and discoloration. The matte powder absorbs oil, helping to reduce shine and prevent future breakouts. Skin is left looking fresh and flawless."

  Sounds good to me! I will be picking some up for sure. Anything that absorbs oil and has SPF 30 counts as a summer must have to me!

What are your summer beauty faves? Have you experimented with any of the products on my list? Any thing you think I should try? Let me know!
