Summer Makeup Looks!


These are Summertime makeup looks I have found and tried out. To me summer looks are bright on the lips and maybe a pop of color on the eyes. The cheeks can be bronzy or on the coral side. Some looks are more natural when you don't want to look like you are wearing a lot of makeup. I hope you like these looks as much as I did!

I tried to not leave out my notes about what color, consistency, whether shimmery or matte, undertones, etc of the makeup that I used to help me figure out if I had a similar product in my own makeup. That way you can find your own dupes even if you don't have the same as me.

June IPSY Bag


I really like what is in this month's bag! I was surprised. Compared to the June Birchbox, I say IPSY has won this month.




1. IT Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Eyebrow Pencil in Universal Taupe: I am really glad to get this! I think this will work really well on my color eyebrows. I don't have anything like this. I think the brand is really good. 


2. La Vanilla Laboratories Pure Vanilla The Healthy Body Butter: This smells really good, and it is a thick moisturizer. It feels really good on my hand. 


3. Smashbox Photofinish Primer: I have had a sample of this before. It is one of the best face primers I have ever used. I'm really happy to get this.


4. Formula X Nail Polish: I think this color is Power Source. This is one of my favorite colors for nail polish in the summer, and I have heard a lot of good things about this brand. It is supposed to be a good quality nail polish. I'm going to paint my nails with this color and see how well I like it.




5. Trestique Mini Shadow Crayon in Venetian Gold: This reminds me of the Maybelline Color Tattoos but it is easier to apply. It is a really pretty bronzy gold color with sparkle. This looks like it will be long lasting. It also reminds me of the Terry Ombre Blackstar Pencils I see people on Youtube using, but this is probably the cheaper alternative.

Sunkissed Summer Tag

I saw this tag on Elle Fowler's channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP3Qk0FYyEY. It looked like something fun to do, so I decided to do it too.

1. What is your go-to product for a sunkissed summer glow?



Maybelline Dream Sun Bronzing Powder Matte in Light: This was limited edition several summers ago. It had a shimmery one and a matte one depending on your skin type, so I got the lightest one and matte.

2. What book would you recommend for a summer read?


This would be a good summer read because it isn't very complicated. It's exciting, and a sweet love story.

3. What's your signature summer scent this year?


Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture: I love this scent of floral and sweetness.

4. The sun is shining and it's time to get outside! What's your favorite thing to do? 


I love to go to the beach.

5. You're on the boardwalk and starving! What's your go-to summer beach food?


6. What's your dream summery date? Walking along the beach and having a good conversation.

7. After a day in the summer heat, what do you do to cool off?


I like to make a fruit smoothie. I have a recipe for the Jamba Juice Pink Star that tastes so good! I got it from this Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k3hiV8iG-k.

8. How do you wear your hair in the summer? In a bun or ponytail

9. What's your must-have nail polish for summer 2015?


China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy

10. What shows do you recommend for summer? Anything on Bravo and Golden Girls

11. Do you wear liquid foundation, BB cream, or tinted moisturizer in the summer?


Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Makeup, which is a liquid foundation

12. Sunglasses or Hats? sunglasses

13. What is your summer jam this year? Bright by Echosmith, Want to Want Me by Jason Derulo, and Worth It by Fifth Harmony

14. Do you have a summer bucket list? Go to the beach at least once.

15. Bikini, tankini, or one piece? Show us your fave bathing suit this year!


One piece from Forever 21

16. What's your favorite sweat proof product? Maybelline The Rocket Mascara

17. If you could create your own ice cream flavor, what would it be? My first thought was to create my favorite smoothie and turn it into an ice cream flavor, but then I realized I think it originally was an ice cream flavor and someone turned it into a smoothie so it would be healthier. It has banana, peanut butter, and chocolate.

June Birchbox


I love the color of the box! It reminds me of the beach.

The card inside says, "Adventure is a state of mind. It's about exploring the unknown, dreaming beyond the horizon, and letting go of the word "no." What's on your list? Scuba diving with sharks? Sleeping under the stays (hey, your backyard counts)? Here's to adventures big and small, near and far." There is a giveaway. They give you a code. I got a 10% off a $50 purchase at the Birchbox store.


1. Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo: "Weightless spray that refreshes sans residue, in the brand's signature obliphica scent." I don't use a dry shampoo. I will have to try this out.


2. Coola SPF 50 Sport - Mango: "Sweat-proof, water-resistant sunscreen made with organic botanics (and a fun, fruity scent)." This does smell good! I will have to try this out. My skin is sensitive to sunscreen.


3. Emi Jay Hair Tie: "We've added in this chic hair tie from Emi Jay for all your summer 'dos." It is a golden hair tie with a little bow in the back. I'll have to try this out when I do my hair.


4. Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow: "This multitasked, rich in antioxidants and aloe, covers imperfections, evens tone, and calms skin." It looks a little darker than my skin. I'll have to try this out.


5. Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask: "This foamy formula is packed with oxygen and antioxidants for brighter, younger-looking skin." I love getting these masks to try out.



6. Marcelle Waterproof Eyeliner: "This blendable waterproof eyeliner goes on smoothly and stays put all day." This is in the color Blue Lagoon. I think it is pretty. It's nice to wear a natural eye with a pop of color on the lower lash line.
