10 Essential Summer Beauty Products
Summer is finally here! If you’re not changing your skincare and makeup routine once summer hits, what are you even doing? I’m here to give you my ten favorite summer beauty products to help protect, bronze, and moisturize you. Let’s get into it!
1. Mario Badescu Aloe Spray Summer Beauty Products
“Mario Badescu’s Facial Spray With Aloe, Cucumber, and Green Tea invigorates dull, tired skin with an infusion of botanical extracts and cucumber and peppermint essential waters. This facial mist delivers a cooling boost of hydration that leaves skin feeling refreshed and revitalized.”
Use this spray before or after makeup and all throughout the day to freshen up your skin. This spray is also handy for when you have a bit of sunburn or it’s a particularly hot day. A spritz of this will do wonders!
2. IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream
“IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ goes beyond color-correcting to include your full coverage foundation, anti-aging serum, and mineral sunscreen in one.”
Finding a foundation with SPF is crucial! I especially love something lightweight that doesn’t skimp on coverage. This CC cream is buildable, hydrating, ideal for dry skin, and has a natural finish.
3. First Aid Ultra Repair Cream
“First Aid Beauty’s Ultra Repair Cream is a fast-absorbing, rich moisturizer that provides instant & long-term hydration for dry, distressed skin and eczema.”
This daily moisturizer is specifically made with dry and distressed skin in mind. This makes it a great facial moisturizer option for babes with eczema or with psoriasis like me! Putting this on first thing in the morning and right before bed will definitely help manage dry skin.
4. Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray for Beachy Waves
“Bumble and bumble’s Surf Spray is a salt spray that adds volume, body, and texture for matte, beachy waves (year-round).”
Every year we search for the perfect beachy waves spray, and this is it! You can apply this to damp hair and diffuse or air dry or you can mist it on to dry hair to add texture and lift the roots.
5. Supergoop! Sunscreen Summer Beauty Products
“Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 is a 100% invisible, weightless, and makeup gripping primer that protects against UVA/UVB, helps filter blue light, and leaves a natural finish.”
Supergoop! has been all the rage for a few years now! It is wild what a difference it can make to have the perfect sunscreen on over or under your makeup. You can use this as a primer, by itself, or throughout the day. There’s also a mini version for travel or to keep in your bag on the go!
6. St. Tropez Ultimate Glow Kit
“Tanning meets skincare with the St. Tropez Tan x Ashley Graham Limited Edition Ultimate Glow Kit, co-created with Ashley Graham. Instantly delivers a natural, wearable glow enriched with Hyaluronic Acid Complex, Rosehip Oil & Vitamin E clinically proven to hydrate for nourished, healthy skin.”
If you’re someone who loves the look and glow of being tan but does not tan well naturally or burns in the sun, St. Tropez is for you! Of course, I had to choose the Ashley Graham Ultimate Glow Kit and represent for plus size babes. This set comes with the self-tan luxe whipped mousse and a limited edition applicator mitt.
7. Colourpop Creme Liners
“ColourPop’s Crème Gel Liner is a super creamy, highly pigmented créme gel pencil that delivers instant color payoff for all-day wear. The sharpenable pencil allows for a flawless, precise application of color.”
Fun and colorful liners are the perfect way to brighten up your makeup look for summer! You can use these for eyeliner, cream shadow, and colorful faux freckles. There are way more colors than shown here!
8. Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray Summer Beauty
“Urban Decay All Nighter Ultra Matte Makeup Setting Spray is infused with kaolin clay to control shine & keep makeup fresh for up to 16 hours with a matte finish.”
When you are sweating, in air conditioning, sitting in front of a fan, dipping in the pool, you need the best setting spray out there. The Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray is perfect for summertime. If you have dry skin you can always go with the classic formula, but the ultra matte will definitely help with sweating and your makeup breaking up from the heat.
9. Coola SPF Lip Tints
“COOLA’s travel-ready mineral lip trio that protects, nourishes, and subtly tints. Infused with cupuaçu butter, one swipe leaves lips plump and super smooth.”
Do not skimp on the SPF for your lips! The lips are commonly forgotten when protecting your skin from the sun. Your lips can get sunburnt! They are also likely to dry out and chap. I love these from Coola because they have SPF 30 and come in different tint colors.
10. Too Faced Waterproof Mascara Summer Beauty
“Too Faced Better Than Sex Volumizing Waterproof Mascara is an intensely black, waterproof, volumizing mascara for the sexiest, most defined lashes possible.”
Did you know that there is a waterproof version of the cult-favorite Better Than Sex mascara from Too Faced? A lot of the time I’m just wearing a CC cream with SPF and some waterproof mascara in the summer. Especially when I’m by the pool or at the beach. This formula will keep your lashes long and defined without streaking or running down your cheeks after a swim.
