In the summer months I tend to change my beauty routine to a simple more fresh look. Since it is hot and humid where I live I don’t like having too much stuff on my face and feeling icky. Therefore I stick to these 8 products that I can’t live without in the summer:

1. Revlon Liquid Eyeliner [Black Brown]: This is hands down my favorite liquid liner. I have tried them all but always come back to this revlon one. I love the tip and precision the liner gives me.

2. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil [Hustle]: I use a pencil to line my lower lashes. Hustle is the color I use mainly but every once in a while I will switch it up with a color liner from the Urban Decary Ocho Loco liner set. Generally I coordinate my lower lash pencil with the outfit I’m wearing that day.

3. theBalm Cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer: Ever since I received this in my Birchbox a few years ago I have been hooked. I use a small dab of this powder to highlight my brow bone.

4. Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real! Mascara: This mascara makes my eyes POP! I absolutely love how it enhances my lashes and make it look as if I have false lashes on. Let’s be real though ain’t no one got time for false lashes at 8am before work.

5. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer [Bisque]: Tinted moisturizer is my BFF. I only wear foundation on special occasions – such as weddings – majority of the time I’m wearing tinted moisturizer. I do not like the feel of foundation and truly believe it ruins my skin. Therefore 90% of the time I dab on the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer. A little goes a long way with this moisturizer so don’t go overboard.

6. Nars Blush [Orgasm]: This blush is perfect for summer. It is complimentary on any person’s skin tone!

7. Chella Highlighter Pencil: I use this pencil to highlight under my eyes and anywhere on my face that needs some brightening.

8. Sara Happ The Lip Slip: During the summer I generally stick to gloss. This Sara Happ lip gloss is my favorite because it moisturizes my lips and gives me a hint of shine!

What is your summer beauty routine?? Any product you can’t live without? Do share!

My skincare routine is the one thing I’m obsessive about.

From a young age my mom got me in the habit of washing my face and taking care of my skin. I thank her every day for that! Over the years my routine has changed because my skin keeps changing. I started out with oily skin, then had combination skin for a while, and now at 24 I have dry skin.

When I graduated from college I spent the summer doing tons of research about products and nailing down the products that worked for me. This involved many trips to Sephora. If you haven’t been to Sephora you must go – actually run! They have everything! The beauty experts at Sephora are extremely sweet and do their best to help you find a product you are looking for. If you are one of those people – like me – who has to try a product for a week before committing to purchasing it then Sephora is your place! They give you samples for EVERYTHING!

Clarisonic Mia: I invested in a Clarisonic at the beginning of the year. Best decision ever! At first my skin went through the whole “purging” and it was annoying but after a month I saw a difference. I use my Clarisonic in twice a day.
