Summer Beauty Must-Haves

Sunscreen is important but it is not always gentle on the pores. This Tula Sun Serum is sun protection and skincare in one! I have kids with extremely sensitive skin who break out in eczema flair ups when nearly anything touches their skin and this is our go-to in the summer. This stuff is perfect for teens who have a tendency to break-out, most who are trying to be kind to their face and anyone else who needs a bit of extra TLC.

Not all face moisturizers are created equal. La Roche-Posay makes some amazing, dermatologist-approved skincare products. Their Double Repair Face Moisturizer has AMAZING reviews on Amazon reviews for a very good reason … this moisturizer gets the job done while still being gentle on your skin and it won’t clot your pores.

Go easy on your skin this summer. This shaving kit has everything you need to gently shave your bikini line including daily soothing serum and 2-in-1 cleanser and shave gel.

Sunscreen gets a bad rap. I don’t know many people who love the feeling of it. This Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch sunscreen from Neutrogena goes on smoothly though and dries without a trace. It has been my family’s go-to sunscreen for years, even with several family members with sensitive skin.

I am blessed with super dry lips. I’ve tried just about everything to help keep them moisturized. This TULA Skin Care SOS Lip Treatment Balm is the ultimate lip care and they have some amazing color options too! I’ve replaced most of my lipsticks with these lip balms now and my lips have never been softer.

I LOVE a good liquid eye shadow. They blend so smoothly and let you get exactly the look you want. Stila liquid eye shadow is my absolute favorite and so far I haven’t found a color they make that I don’t love. This is such a fun addition to your makeup routine for summer and a great way to brighten up your eyes.

Summer makeup routines can be simple but a good lip oil can make all the difference in the world. This lip oil gives you glossy, shiny lips without that sticky feeling. This comes in some amazing colors and provides 12 hours of hydration and protection.

Simple is always a great way to go during the summer. I love the neutral colors in this Tarte Clay Play Face Shaping Palette. You can get so many different looks from this palette and get anything from a light summer look to something a bit more dramatic. This palette is part of my daily makeup routine and I love how quickly I can make myself look presentable with this. The highlighter is the perfect way to add a little light to your face for a summer look.

Beach waves are at the top of a lot of wish lists during the summer. They take more work than most people realize though. Fortunately, this One Step Volumizer makes it easy to get those beachy waves with very little effort.

Summer is all about low-maintenance beauty routines. It doesn’t get much better than this Amika Perk Up dry shampoo. This is talc free and gives you the perfect option to combat that summer sweat. Refreash your hair without adding another wash day to your routine. Bonus: It smells AMAZING.

A great shampoo and conditioner can make a world of difference when it comes to whether or not you are happy with your hair this summer. I started using this LOMA shampoo and moisturizing treatment combo a few months ago and have been amazed by the difference it has made in my hair. I have natural waves that are usually a challenge but this shampoo/conditioner has made me pretty happy with my hair lately. Bonus: It lasts FOREVER. Mine lasted over 4 months.

Summer fun can definitely come with some hair challenges, including extra frizz. Keep the frizz under control and keep your hair nourished and hydrated with this Olaplex No. 9 Bone Protector Nourishing Hair Serum. This makes such a huge difference in hair that may not be feeling very pampered between chlorine and sun this summer.

A good cuticle oil is priceless during the summer months when your hands can get so dry from the sun. This scented cuticle oil not only works great but it is absolutely gorgeous and it comes in some really fun varieties.

Sun and Chlorine can definitely do a number on your nails. This nail strengthener from O.P.I is definitely a must-have during the summer months. They promise your nails will be 95% stronger in just one week and they have plenty of raving fans to back that up!

Sand, chlorine, and sun can be rough on your nails. This professional nail buffer can give you beautifully polished natural nails in your own home. This buffer is much higher quality than many of the others that you find and is a great option if you want to pamper yourself a bit.
