Summer Beauty

While my beauty routine doesn’t change a ton from season to season, I definitely find myself reaching for certain products more and not using others. I want to make sure that I’m protecting my skin, so I’ve been using my favorite CC Cream with SPF 50 everyday. I like to use this loose powder to set the CC Cream and add a little bit of a matte finish to my skin, since I can get a bit shiny halfway through the day – especially when it’s hot!

I’m loving pastels and neutrals for my nails. In particular, that blue has been on repeat on my toes for about a month. It’s the prettiest pale blue color. I try to keep my skin as hydrated as possible, so this cocoa butter lotion has been a lifesaver. It smells so good and keeps my skin silky smooth all day. Speaking of good smells, I like to use fruity and tropical perfumes in the summer. Coconut and mango is a killer scent combination – and it’s boyfriend approved!

Do you tend towards certain items in the summer that you don’t use in other seasons?

    I've been obsessed with pastels and neutrals lately. And girl, I feel you on the mid-day shine. I was in a dressing room earlier today and looked like a grease monkey! This NC humidity is killing me slowly haha!

    These nail colors are good for summers. Besides looking flawless with makeup I want to keep my skin healthy and infections free. For that I will always keep natural body wipes with me to keep my skin clean.
