Go-To Products | Summer Essentials



I'm back with my Summer favourites with products that I have been constantly using since the start of the Summer. Summer is easily my favourite season - I enjoy the heat so much! When people complain about how hot is i'm literally like lalala can't hear youuuuuuuuuu.

Although along with the heat comes an unideal makeup situation where it has a tendency to slide off your face. I tend to use less products in the Summer as I don't want to pile up the product and look "cakey".

If you love the smell of coconut I would highly recommend the Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer (I have it in the shade light). It has such a buttery texture and a nice sheen to it that gives you a subtle summer glow, and plus it literally smells like a vacation, absolutely in love!

I have also been obsessed with liquid lipsticks as you can count on them staying in place for most of the day. My favourite (in the picture above) has to be Kat Von D's liquid lipstick in Bow n' Arrow. This shade is a perfect nude that doesn't look too dark on fair skin. The other liquid lipstick that I have been loving is Too Faced Melted Matte Liquefied Long Wear Matte Lipstick in Feelin Myself. This shade is the most perfect coral for the summer. It is bright and a statement lipstick but really gives off that Summer vibe! If I had to pick between the two I still love Kat Von D's formula a little bit more, along with the doe foot applicator. The only downside to Kat Von D's line is it tends to not have as much of a selection when it comes to bright colours.

My third favourite are bright nail polishes. I'm constantly wearing nail polish throughout the summer, and I wait all Winter for when I can wear those bright, fun Summer colours again! I have been loving Essie nail polishes lately, as well as Sally Hansen and American Apparel. Sally Hansen's has great lasting power and I tend to not be very careful when it comes to my nails, so thats saying alot!

What are your favourite products for the Summer?! :)

Go-To Products | Enhancing Natural Beauty


Lately I have been decluttering my makeup and skincare products by using up whatever I have so I just have my staple go-to products. I think sometimes its easy to get carried away with trying new products - and then one day realizing you have a drawer full of products that you will never use. As I have acne prone skin I think using too many products really does create havoc to my skin. My skin really appreciates simplicity.


1.) Jo Malone - Although not a makeup products this fragrance is so light and fresh its perfect for every day wear.This scent is Nectarine Blossom and Honey. If you haven't heard of Jo Malone, it is definitely a company to check out. They have the most perfect scents - scents that are rare to find in a typical fragrance store.

2.) I love putting a natural colour on my nails. To me it looks really classy and simple at the same time. This colour is Urban Jungle by Essie. I think these colours look perfect with any skin tone, and any time of year.

3.) This is a lip product that I just discovered by a brand called Gosh. I think this might be a Canadian brand - which is sold at Shoppers Drug Mart. This shade is called Sweet Moments. I love it because it enhances your natural lip colour while giving it a nice sheen. Its almost like a lip balm with alot of pigment!

4.) This toner by the brand Simple has been my go-to product for a while. It really does get rid of any of that last stubborn makeup that i still on my face after washing, and leaves my face feeling very calm and refreshed, without over-drying and irritating my skin.

5.) Wow! I cannot say enough goods things about this product. This is by the brand First Aid Beauty and is called the Facial Radiance Overnight Mask. I rub it into my skin before going to bed and when I wake up in the morning my skin looks 10x better. Its glowing, radiant - all the things that it claims to do, it does! It allows

6.) I have talked about this before, and I am still in love. This is my favourite BB Cream by Maybelline because it does not break me out and gives me that natural glow.

I love products that are natural and enhance your natural beauty. What are some of your go-to products??
