Summer Favorites

Welcome Back Gallivanters!

I don’t know about you, but this heat wave is not for the weak.

I for one, am rarely spotted doing a full face during the summer for this very reason.

My summer makeup routine needs to be long-lasting, sweat-proof, and preferably short.

So here are my top five favorite products for the summer, that just so happen to be perfect for your carry-on.


Danessa Myricks Blurring Balm Powder

Lightweight and full coverage, the Danessa Myricks Blurring Powder is my new go to foundation.

The balm-to-powder formula allows for easy application and full matte coverage, making it perfect for summer.

The balm can be used as a full foundation or as a setting powder for $36.00 USD.

IT Cosmetics Full Coverage CC Cream with SPF +50

Can we talk about the best summer products without mentioning sunscreen??

Absolutely not. That’s why I love IT Cosmetics’ Full Coverage CC Cream with SPF 50+.

The foundation is a long-lasting way to protect your skin from the sun and totals $47.00 USD.

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer

The Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer is the OG for a reason.

The concealer comes in over 30+ shades, and throughly covers up the evidence of sleeplessness following a night out on the town.

The travel size is perfect to throw in with your carry-on or fits sleekly in a handbag for just $15.00 USD.

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil

Personally, I love a little extra shine and shimmer for the evenings in the summer.

The Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil is perfect to spritz on as you head out the door in order to really sparkle.

It is both sweat and spicy, with notes of bergamot, pistachios, and Coco de Mar for $40.00 USD.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

I’ve finally fallen for the hype of Two Faced’s Better Than Sex Mascara.

It’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a mascara, as it’s both smudge and sweat-proof.

The mascara adds volume and that “wow” as the finishing touch to a summer makeup look and comes to $29.00 USD.


That’s all folks, My top five go-to makeup and beauty items for summer.

I look for products that are easy to apply, light-weight, and long-lasting to get the most bang for my buck.

But I’m a shopaholic at heart, so I’d love top read your recommendations in the comments!

Until next time,

-Allison
