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.

Currently List

Happy Tuesday! It's time for another Currently List.

Watching: I caught up on Fear the Walking Dead and I have to admit that this season is really interesting. I also watched Still Star-Crossed and I really hope that this show does not get canceled. I've been hearing that the ratings have not been so great for Still Star-Crossed.

Reading: I'm still reading The Handmaid's Tale and hopefully I can finish the book by the end of this week.

Listening: This song has been stuck in my head. I have noticed that I have been listening to a lot of old songs and I am loving it.

Making: I haven't really been making a lot of art or layouts, but I have been making cards. I think I may start to offer custom orders in my shop.

Feeling: I'm a bit sleepy due to having a really busy, but fun weekend. We also had to get up really early today to get some errands done.

Planning: I plan to get some journaling done soon. I also want to work on some new blog posts, essays, and articles.

Loving: My boys and husband are just simply the best. I love spending time with my family. They are just the sweetest and funniest guys ever.

Weekend Recap

Happy Monday! I hope you all had an awesome weekend! We had such a fun weekend.

On Friday, I decided to go look for some art and am happy to say that I found three pieces of art work. I absolutely love the Free Art Movement. I have found new places while searching for the pieces of artwork and it's always nice to add some art to my collection. The two pieces below were made by Emily Kneubuhler.

On Saturday, John and I went on a date. We watched Wonder Woman and absolutely loved the movie. Gal Gadot and Chris Pine did such an amazing job. If you haven't watched the movie yet I highly recommend that you do. We also went to Barnes and Noble and took advantage of some amazing deals. John picked The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and I picked Astrophysics for People in a Hurry. We also bought The Adventures of Captain Underpants for the boys. The boys were so excited when we showed them the book.

On Sunday, we spent the day celebrating Father's Day. The boys and I gave John his gifts in the morning. Then we went to Six Flags White Water. After we left and came home, we ate some pizza and watched Tangled.

How was your weekend?
