5 Summer Must Haves



Living in a country where there are only 2 seasons , with summer time taking 80% of the year. I guess I can say I am becoming an expert in what is mostly needed during these scorching hot days.

1) Blotting paper:

Whether you have oily skin or dry skin, you will need these babies. These come in handy so much especially during the summer.
The body shop actually has blotting paper with powder so it will help you stay matte .
However, I like normal blotting paper.

2) Anti Frizz:

My hair is very frizz prone. I have been testing products for my frizzy hair for so long now.
I'm currently using two products that actually do deliver :

- Pureology Super Smooth Relaxing Serum:
This is amazing for keeping your blowout put until your next shampoo.
It actually tames my wavy and frizz prone hair !
A major plus with this brand is that it uses zero sulfates in their hair products.

- Firzz- Ease Daily Nourishment Leave-in Conditioner:
I love this leave in conditioner because I have dry hair. This actually
conditions my hair and detangles it. It also helps with the frizz.

3) BB cream/ tinted moisturizers :
This tinted moisturizer gives
 such a pretty dewy look.
In very hot weather I tend to avoid foundations because I feel that they actually melt of my face, which is not a flattering look.
BB creams and tinted moisturizers are an awesome substitute because they are lighter, and contain spf.

4) Tints :
I have talked about benefit's tint's so much on this blog because I love them so much !
They are perfect and last all day. I use them on my cheeks and my lips. They have them in 3 colors perfect for spring and summer.



5) Bronzer :
Bronzers are a must have in summer. They give you the perfect sun kissed look if you use the right shade. I prefer to use a bronzer with a bit of shimmer as opposed to a matte one that I use to contour my face in the summer. I also have been using a matte bronzer with benefit's sun beam , which is a bronzed highlighter. During summer I try to seek out a health summer bronzer glow in the summer.
This bronzer from D&G is perfect but
it was a limited edition.

The Hoola bronzer from benefit is perfect for contouring.


I love to add the sun beam as a highlight in the summer
for that summer glow.
