My 5 Favorite Summer Beauty Items

We are headed out on a getaway today, and while packing, I started to think about what beauty products I could not leave behind and some of my favorite items I’ve been using this summer. Once I find something I love, it’s hard for me to branch out and try something new, but I’ve been heavily influenced this season and wanted to share a few of my favorites with you!

In case you missed it, I previously shared how I use packing cubes and other travel tips, including my favorite under $20 makeup bag that stores a lot and will be bringing along on this trip. I’ve also shared some of my favorite go-to vacation beauty products that may be worth checking out as well, in case you’re planning any trips. Let’s get into these five items…

Gucci Éclat Soleil Luminous Bronzer

I was heavily influenced by several people I follow to try out this splurge of a bronzer. I was extremely skeptical and even nervous to try it out because is so pigmented. It is the most beautiful bronzer I have ever used, a little goes a very long way and adds the most natural touch of warmth to your face. I use shade 03, highly recommend it.

 
 

bareMinerals
Gen Nude Blonzer Blush + Bronzer

I discovered this “blonzer” last summer, I definitely think it is more blush than bronzer but it gives a nice touch of pink to my face, it’s the first blush I have ever finished complelely and immediately repurchased. I use shade “kiss of rose.”

Urban Decay
Mini Naked3 Eyeshadow Palette

I bought this eyeshadow palette thinking it may be a good option to travel with and I’ve been using it nonstop since I got it. It’s got the most perfect shades so I can go from day to night very quickly!

Supergoop!
Glowscreen Sunscreen SPF 40

I’ve been a Supergoop fan for years, their Glowscreen is my favorite SPF to wear with or without makeup. They recently launched a new shade “Golden Hour” that has a bit more of a bronzey shade. From my understanding, it was formulated to work well on darker skin tones but I have actually been liking the tint it gives to my face. Either way, you can’t go wrong. I LOVE this stuff!

Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm

I’m not a huge lip balm/gloss/lipstick person but I saw this caught my attention because it gives a TON of hydration and the prettiest touch of color. I started with shade “hibiscus” and re-purchased another in shade “strawberry.” I like to keep one in my purse for touch-ups.

I could go on and on about my favorite beauty finds, but I wanted to limit myself to my top five summer favorites! Be sure to check out my recent makeup tutorial on the blog if you’re looking for more tips for application.
