Summer Friday $48 Hydrating cream face mask BUY HERE
This is a staple in my skincare routine. I lather this all over my face before I go to bed and literally wake up with with the most beautiful, soft, smooth skin! I also use a tiny amount of this mask as a primer before I apply make-up. It’s also considered a “clean” skincare product that can be used on any skin type/texture.

The best $8 you will ever spend! Dermaplaning is all the rage and these razors are perfect to get rid of unwanted peach fuzz. Do this about 2x a week for best results. 
Fenty Beauty Highlighter $36 BUY HERE
This is my go-to highlighter and blush in the Summer. The colors are so beautiful and it has a beautiful, creamy texture but is very lightweight and perfect to wear over make-up or alone on the cheeks for a subtle glow. I wear the color Ginger Binge/Moscow Mule.

If you are looking for ONE item to pick up this summer to add to your make-up kit, this is it! Perfect CC+ Cream to travel with or to wear during the day since it has built in SPF 50 AND Full Coverage. I wear the color Rich.

This Urban Skin Rx Purifying 2-in-1 Pumpkin Pore Detox Mask and Scrub satisfies all the senses! It smells amazing, without being overwhelming and provides a spa like sensation to your skin.

Urban Skin RX Clear & Even Tone Clarifying Glycolic Pads

Over the years I have developed uneven skin from acne scarring on my face and back. Since using Urban Skin Rx Clear & Even Tone Clarifying Glycolic Pads I have finally seen a transformation in my skin. After cleansing, this product exfoliates dead skin cells, promotes even skin tone, removes excess oil, and leaves behind a breakout fighting formula. It is one of my favorites!

Kat Von D Studded Kiss Crème Lipstick in Lovecraft

Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream
BUY HERE

I cannot recommend this product enough. In fact it has become my go-to gift for practically every woman I know. I got a jar when SDJ was just starting out a couple of years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. They’ve since released several other products which you cannot go wrong with. The Bum Bum (pronounced boom boom) Cream is their OG, with a pistachio caramel scent that will take you to high heavens.
Caudalie Beauty Elixir
BUY HERE

I love using this French elixir before applying my make up, especially during the Summer. It helps moisturize and freshen your skin while also giving it a nice subtle dew. Be sure to shake it well before each use.
Boscia Luminizing Black Charcoal Mask
BUY HERE
One of my favorite masks to use! It helps tighten pores and remove impurities and leaves my skin feeling super clean and rejuvenated. The best part is that its a peel-off mask which saves me time when removing it.
Drunk Elephant Umbra™ Sheer Physical Daily Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 30
BUY HERE
This award winning face sunscreen is a must to have. What I love about it is that it is physical sunscreen, so you know your skin will definitely be protected from UVA/UVB, but without the white residue. It also aids in preventing free radicals and oxidative damage. This one also comes in a tinted version, which I will be trying next!

 Body Blur Sunless Glow Self Tanning Instant HD Skin Finish – great for when you need to even out or re-fresh a self-tanner or when you’re running out the door. Beautiful color and is almost like a primer for your skin as it gives that smooth & finished look.
 Double Duty Beauty Shape Tape Contour Concealer by TarteDefinitely a favorite.  It offers great, great coverage but also doesn’t leave your under-eyes or blemishes looking too cakey. 
 NARS Afterglow Lip Balm – This is one of the most moisturizing lip balms I’ve ever tried and the color is beautiful! If you are a fan of NARS Orgasm blush, you will love the color in this!  It is a great universal option and gives just enough color, but not *too* much.
 NARS Blush in color LOVEJOY – NARS also makes the BEST blush shades. Almost all shades are gorgeous, but I am a sucker for colors LOVEJOY and ORGASM. Both are great for nearly any skin color and give you that perfect summer-kissed look
