summer lovin'

here are some of my favorite essentials for summer

most days i would rather not leave my house or put on any makeup, so when those days come around, these are the products i love and suggest for everyone

a. sun bum cool down: this aloe lotion is great on the skin after sitting out in the sun all day. i started using it after a gnarly sunburn (which i still can't get rid of the terrible tan lines) and it makes my skin feel like silk and holds the tan i sat out in the sun for hours to get

b. mint julip lip scrub: i love lush products but one i will always vouch for is the lip scrub. it's great for getting rid of dead skin and smoothing the lips, especially when the sun can burn your lips and we neglect to realize it

c. frank body scrub: i was curious about what all the hype about frank was but after buying it, i totally understand. after using it once, i fell in love. my skin felt so soft and now that i use it regularly, my acne has started to clear up. definitely perfect for those summer breakouts

d. chanel poudre universelle libre: i am obsessed with everything chanel, especially their cosmetics. this was one of many gifts from my best friend and i can't live without it. it's a shimmery finishing powder that eliminates shine and gives just the right about of sparkle to your skin to finish off that perfect summer look

e. flora gucci: clearly my bottle is almost empty because i've used most of it but this is my favorite scent for summer. light, soft, and my boyfriend loves it. best part is that it stays on my skin for a long time, which always seems like a mission impossible movie gone wrong when it comes to finding perfume that stays on
