It’s been a while since I’ve done a beauty post, so today I wanted to talk to you guys about some summer beauty products and a few not-so-often thought of daily essentials I’ve been using. I don’t think I’m alone on this one, but I’m really bad about shaving. The combo I’ve been using lately to get a close, longer-lasting shave is
EOS shave cream and the
Schick® Quattro for Women® TrimStyle®. Trust me – EOS shave cream is 100x better than any other shaving cream and the Schick® Quattro for Women® TrimStyle® is so handy because it has two sides. The combo of these two together cuts down on how often I have to shave ever week.
To nourish my hair I like to use
Kerastase Elixir Ultime. It’s really the only hair product that I religiously use. For those days when I know my hair is going to turn into a poofball (thanks humidity) and there is no sense in smoothing or straightening, I’ll use a
sea salt spray like this one from Bangstyle to give my natural waves some texture.
When I got back from Jamaica my legs were super dry and chaffed from so much sun and beach exposure. I like to use
Prestiche Wonder Polish in the shower to scrape off dead skin and exfoliate my feet. I love how it feels (and smells) like wet sugar 😛
I’m getting sick of bright lipsticks so I’ve started using
MAC Hue lipstick again. It’s a basic neutral, pale pink. MAC lipsticks are my favorite because they’re affordable (for being a high-end brand) and come in such a wide range of colors and finishes. For lip nourishment I like to indulge in
Chanel Hydramax + Active lip care. I use it sparingly though since Chanel products are so pricey.
Last but not least – bronzers. I’ve actually never used
St. Tropez self tanner before but I’ve heard many, many rave reviews so it’s on my must-try list.
MAC bronzing powder in Golden has been a favorite of mine for years. It has just the slightest amount of shimmer and is matte enough to contour with on the face.

Glad to see your beauty posts again! If you beach sprays, try out AG Hair Cosmetics Beach Bomb (I got mine at Ulta). It’s like a gel, and it’s an awesome product for giving beach waves. It smells incredible too!
