Beauty: My 5 Summer Beauty Picks

Summer isn't my favorite season even though it is my season of birth (August baby, woo hoo!). Yes, I do appreciate the beach and pool days, but I can't stand the heat. If you live in NYC and take the subway during the summer, you know how gross it can get. However, I do love trying different beauty products during the summer. I have some of my holy grail products, but also products that I swap out each season and grow to love. Here are my 5 Summer Beauty Picks for 2017.





L'oreal Paris Voluminous Waterproof Mascara


I sweat so much during the summer that waterproof makeup products are a must! Each summer I purchase one waterproof mascara. This one has to be my favorite so far! I heard amazing things about this product in general and I knew I had to try it. If you want something volumizing, this will do the trick. I personally wear false lashes on a daily basis and I found that this mascara makes my falsies look amazing! I never had any issues with it flaking or smudging either which is a plus for this heat. 

Philosophy Purity Face Cleanser



This is my holy grail product all year around, but especially for the summer! This product removes makeup, dirt, and oils your skin collects during the day! Since I sweat bullets during the summer, this makes my skin feel so clean when I come home and get ready for bed. If you wear makeup, this will remove all the makeup your makeup wipe missed! Truly a product I recommend for everyone to try. I also follow up with my other holy grail product the Philosophy Hope In A Jar face moisturizer! I apply this in the morning before sunscreen and at night before bed.

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Polish



Recently, I had my first gel manicure. I loved it, but the price tag was a bit much for me to be spending every two weeks. I'm someone who would rather do my own nails even though from time to time I do treat myself to a salon visit. Since I loved the gel manicure experience but didn't want to break the bank, I purchased the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in the color 184 Frill Seeker! It's a great nude pink and looks great on any skin tone. This lasted me two weeks which is the same amount of time any professionally done gel manicure would last. However, this product doesn't require any UV light. Just apply a base coat, the polish and a top coat and it'll be perfect! I use the Sally Hansen Double Duty Base & Top Coat.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade


Another holy grail product for the summer! I've been using this product for two years now and I can't get enough! Like I've mentioned, I sweat a lot and I tend to keep makeup light during the summer because of it. However, my brows are something I always make sure look great before I leave the house. This pomade is waterproof and will last all day long! It won't budge at all or fade away. 

Quai Haircare Treatment Masque


There is no secret I wear wigs as a protective style for my hair because it's always fun to change up my look, but my natural hair underneath has grown a lot since my wig journey. And I still make sure to take proper care of it. Quai is an up and coming brand that I'm in love with. I got a sample of their hair treatment in my Ipsy bag and after using it and loving it, I needed a bigger size. This product leaves my hair feeling so smooth, nourished, and silky. My hair during the summer gets extremely dry and I find that this really helps keep my hair from breaking off.
