Summer Faves
During the summer, you'll be hard pressed to find me in any semblance of
makeup in South Florida; it's just too hot for it. But there are days
when a girl wants to get dolled up [some] and these are my typical facial
product choices.
Iman stick foundation in Earth 7 offers a light, powder finish for under my eyes, since I opt out of using concealer, which can be oily, thus producing more sweat.
I love this bronzer and pretty much wear it all year round. CoverGirl Queen Collection mineral bronzer in "Ebony"
This "little pink tin" was gifted to me by a good friend, Matzvi, and it's the perfect lip balm.
I use MAC's MSF in "Deep/Dark" all over the face just to help with blotting out oil.
THE most important summer item on my list however is bug repellant. It's so hot and humid here that the mosquitos and bugs are in full force. So on days in the back yard or at the park, these sprays and cream are a MUST.
Repel Natural and Off! Botanical (both are deet free) but I use sprays with deet on forest-like park days.
And finally, the only fragrance I use is this light, floral perfume "rose the one"
It is so fresh and unoffensive [imo] and perfect for summer days.
Thanks for reading and sharing my summer must-haves,
You make it a great day.
