summer beauty essentials.

A very happy Tuesday to you! Back in November, I shared my daily make-up routine. I loved hearing about the products you use every day. Though my make-up routine isn't much different, there are a few tweaks to my beauty regimen during the summer months. Below, you'll find six products which have helped me survive the heat without looking too much like I just ran a marathon...


1) I've shared my love of this sunscreen before, but this Clarins Milk Lotion Spray SPF 50+ has become my go-to for my all-over coverage.

2) For a sassy and summery touch, I've been loving this Essie Tart Deco on both my fingers and toes.

3) Though I have shied away from bronzer for a few years, I rediscovered it recently. Thanks to Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder, I now have a summer glow without the sun's harmful rays.

4) Clarins makes my everyday SPF coverage so much better. This Multi-Protection Day Screen SPF 40 isn't heavy and doesn't make me break out, which is an absolute win-win in my book.

5) A Clarisonic Mia 2 was on my birthday wishlist--and it's changed my life, as cliché as that might sound. My skin feels so much better and I know it's going to make a world of difference all year round.

6) I hated hairspray growing up because I used to get mouthfuls during dance recitals. My hairstylist recommended I give Bumble & Bumble Spray de Mode Hairspray a try and I'm so happy I did!

Though a few of these beauties are a bit of an investment, I budget to fit them into my routine.  {I also know that can't take my sun safety lightly.} I can't wait to hear about your summer beauty essentials--I'm constantly looking for new additions to my round-up :) Enjoy your day, friends!

  5. I am so lazy with my clarisonic. It's bad...because I just want to go to bed and not spend the extra MINUTE with it. Who am I? I've recently been trying all the Tarte beauty products and I'm obsessed with their blushes especially for summer because they stay put SO well!

  7. I'm wearing Tart Deco right now actually!

    I usually add an oil absorbing mask once a week...it definitely helps cut down on the summer oilyness. I'll also use a less heavy foundation (or even a BB Cream or tinted moisturizer in place of one).

  8. I have been tempted to buy a Clarisonic for awhile now, but I was wondering if it was worth it...all the good reviews I keep hearing are so tempting! :)

  9. I need a good hairspray; I might look into that one! Interesting about the clarisonic, too, as I've always been on the fence about those.

  10. Thank you so much for sharing these! I love the nail polish -- I am definitely going to have to try that one. My makeup routine doesn't change all that much, but I do implement brighter lipsticks, which is always so much fun! :-)
