Biore Baking Soda Liquid Pore Cleanser: I have been a big fan of Biore and previously used their Combination Skin Balancing cleanser, but unfortunately they no longer make it. So I had no choice, but to try something new. I decided to stick with the brand and try their baking soda cleanser. I am happy to say that I have been using their Baking Soda cleanser for a over a year and I'm still loving this cleanser. It was the perfect replacement. I love that it has natural baking soda and it doesn't have a strong scent.
Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream: I love using this BB cream. This BB cream is perfect for when I want to wear a little bit of makeup, but also want to avoid using foundation. This BB cream is easy to apply and feels so lightweight.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara: I don't wear mascara all the time, but I am loving Maybelline's new Lash Sensational mascara. It's really easy to apply, adds volume, and doesn't smudge. I usually buy the waterproof kind, but I always have a hard time removing this mascara (or any waterproof mascara). If you have any recommendations on makeup removers please let me know.
Aveeno Clear Complexion Moisturizer: I needed a new moisturizer since Biore apparently stopped making the moisturizer that I normally used. I had a hard time finding one that I liked, but decided to get an Aveeno moisturizer after reading some reviews. I've been using it for about a week and so far I'm loving it.
Sun Bum Sunscreen Lip Balm: I love Sun Bum's lip balms. I love the Pink Grapefruit and the Pomegranate lip balms. It lasts a long time and doesn't feel greasy.
Maybelline Baby Lips Color Balm Crayon: I think I'm starting to become a big fan of Maybelline. Not only do I like their mascara, but I also love their Baby Lips Crayon. I love that I don't have to reapply this all the time, it's moisturizing, and they have a pretty decent color selection. My favorite crayon is the Sassy Scarlet.
Suave Advanced Therapy Lotion: I received this lotion in two different voxboxes and I love it. This lotion does not have a strong scent and doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky or greasy.
What are your Summer beauty essentials?
Thanks for visiting!
Until next time...
I hadn't heard of that baking soda pore cleanser before but it sounds good! It's hard to figure out just the right cleanser that will help prevent blemishes but also not be too harsh on my skin!
ReplyDeleteI definitely recommend Biore's cleanser. Is there a specific brand that you use?
DeleteI love the Biore face wash, it leaves my skin feeling so nice and fresh! I also love the Maybelline Baby Lips! I need to get some fresh summer colors!

I think I may have to try the Biore charcoal face wash. Which Biore cleanser is your favorite?
DeleteI love moisture sprays in the summer...not as heavy as a cream and very refreshing
ReplyDeleteI have heard such great things about moisture sprays. I'll have to try it one day. Do you have to reapply the spray throughout the day?
DeleteOooh I love this post. I have some staples that I can't live without. One amazing product I use is MAC Lightful tinted cream. It has 30 SPF and is similar to a BB cream. Love it! I wear it every single day.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of the MAC rightful tinted cream, but it sounds awesome. Does it feel lightweight?
DeleteI need to try a Maybelline lip crayon; I just really like lip crayons in general. lol

I've only tried the Maybelline lip crayon, but plan on trying a few different brands as well. Which brand do you like?
DeleteBaking soda in a facial cleanser? Now that is new! That actually sounds kind of refreshing. And I love grapefruit anything so that lip balm sounds fantastic! Great finds!
ReplyDeleteThe lip balm is amazing! I'm going to try every flavor lol.
DeleteThe BB Fresh is one of my summer staples as well! Along with Aveeno and a Biore cleanser, but I use a different version. I like Aveeno Positively Radiant because it evens skin tone and has SPF in it. I just started using a Biore cleanser with charcoal after trying a self-heating mask and it's been working really well! Great list!
ReplyDeleteI really want to try the Biore cleanser with the charcoal. I tried their charcoal mask and I really like it.
