Favorite Summer Beauty Essentials

Happy Wednesday! Usually I don't talk about beauty products, but today I wanted to share just a few of my favorite summer beauty essentials.


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...

  1. 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!

    1. I 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?

  4. Oooh 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.

  7. The 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!
