SUMMER BEAUTY CHECKLIST

CLEANSE

purity made simple cleanser - does not leave skin over dry
ole henricksen cleansing cloths - great to remove makeup on the go
simple micellar water - a more inexpensive & accessible version of the bioderma

TONE TREAT MOISTURIZE

nuxe toning lotion - very gentle and smells like roses
paula's choice 5% benzoyl peroxide - the only lotion that only controls my hormonal breakout
algenist eye balm - very hydrating under the eye and also helps with puffiness
sunday riley good genes - i alternate this with my benzoyl peroxide treatment to treat and brighten skin
embryolisse lait creme - a great moisturizer especially during the drier winter months. it's thick yet sinks in the skin quickly and even the husband loves it!
elta md sunscreen SPF 46 - my favorite sunscreen that's very light and has great skin protecting properties

PREP & PRIME

urban decay concealer - a new favorite in the concealer game. a full coverage yet lightweight concealer
smashbox primer water - a refreshing way to prepare and moisturize skin before makeup
beauty blender - one of my favorite tools for a flawless finish
first aid beauty eye duty triple remedy - an eye cream that i also use as a brightener/concealer

BRONZE & BRIGHTEN

anastasia contour kit - the perfect palette to bronze and contour
hourglass ambient powder palette - the only powder trio you need. obsessed with it.
becca shimmering skin perfector - gives the skin a natural healthy glow without overdoing it

COLOR

chanel cream blush - a long lasting cream blush that just melts in the skin
dior lip glow - a lip balm that creates your own unique color plus it's got SPF 10
tom ford eye and cheek - ok, i've included this here because i am lusting over it. possibly the only palette-on-the-go you need for when you're traveling!
benefit roller lash mascara - no need to curl your lashes with this mascara. love it!
