Hello my lovelies,
Summer is almost here
and it's time to get yourself ready for the heat waves. Don't let the heat
overwhelm you, there are just a few summer staples that you need to follow up
on and you'll be all set to face the daunting sun. A little preparation and a few
mandatory rules to follow, and you can have some fun in the sun without holding
back. These are my top 5 summer beauty essentials that I personally use during
the summer. It is like my summer routine. Simple and easy to maintain. Hope you
like this blog post, enjoy your summer vacation! Nikoleta, xoxo.
1. First thing first I always like to use
primer for my face. It covers and fulfills any kind of my pores and fine lines.
I like to use the Porefessional from Benefit. It is lightweight and it does a
good job to keep my face natural looking. It's designed to give you smooth skin
and I'd say that's exactly what it does, it completely smooths and evens out
the skin with a balmy like coat and then, once you put make up over the top,
your skin really does look flawless.
2.
Second I always like to put some
sunscreen, that way I will protect myself from the sun. I use the Clarins,
which is formulated for sensitive skin, this lightweight cream helps prevent
irritation and redness while protecting skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays.
This sun protection product contains Phyto-Sunactyl 2 Complex promotes a more
even tan by providing reinforced protection to preserve your skin's youth and
beauty. Offers SPF 30.
3. My favourite product to use for my lips
is the Sugar Ruby Fresh Lipbalm, love this product! It is the perfect addition
for the holidays as it has a beautiful, sparkly red tint. Its iridescent
finish, thanks to the addition of mica, a light reflecting mineral, is a first
for the Fresh Sugar Lip line. Formulated with a handful of essential oils, such
as jojoba, castor seed, grape seed, avocado, black currant, and sunflower oil,
as well as (you guessed it!) sugar and nourishing vitamins A, C, and E, this
intensive treatment is bound to restore moisture back into the lips. With an
SPF of 15. The smooth texture is non-sticky and doesn't feel greasy, despite
containing a variety of natural oils. This tinted treatment is also
long-lasting, and I can go a good 5 hours before having to re-apply.
4. Not to forget my absolute favourite
mascara during summer the Maybelline Rocket Volume Express Waterproof, which is
one of the best products that I have used from Maybelline. What I love most about this mascara
is that it does not smudge a single bit, which is rare for me and I wear only
waterproof mascaras. It also thickens my lashes very well - two coats usually
does a sufficient job. The removal process is actually a lot better than I
anticipated, especially seeing that this mascara did not budge on me during the
day. I think this mascara is pretty awesome and highly recommend it. It is a
whole lot better than the lashblast because it does not smudge, is easier to
remove and the bristles, even though they look so similar to lashblast, grabs
your lashes better and coat nice really nicely.
5. The
last but not least is the L’Oreal Brow Artist Plumper eyebrow gel, which is
also something that I use every single day, and it is definitely my go to
product in the mornings. My brows are already naturally quite
full but the brow mascara does a great job at evening them out and setting them
in place for the whole day. I would definitely recommend this
product to anyone who like me prefers the more natural eyebrow look.
This product just adds a minimal tint and keeps the hair in place once added
and adds a little definition.
What are some of your must-have beauty
products for summer?
Nikoleta, xoxo.
