Summer Favourites 2013

Covergirl Natureluxe Foundation in Suede, NYC Sun 2 Sun Bronzer, Covergirl Golden Sunset Trio, Maybelline Golden Halo, Elf Eyelid Primer, Revlon Just Bitten in Dawn and Lancome Definicils Mascara.


Hello my lovelies! So high school just finished for me and I couldn't be more excited for the summer! The best part is that I don't go back to high school after summer, but......University! I could not be more stoked. So, since I'm going away for the summer, I thought I'd do a favourites post on my go-to summer products! So here they are:



Naturluxe Foundation: For foundation, I love Covergirl's Natureluxe foundation. I tried a couple other foundations, switching back and forth, but I always seem to come back to this one! It is buildable on coverage and feels light weight. It has an SPF of 10 which isn't too bad for the summer. I wore this foundation and played outside in the sun for hours, and it did not wear off or dry up. It's around $14.50 CAD at any drugstore.









NYC Sun 2 Sun Bronzer: This is a pretty nice and affordable bronzer/highlighter. It has 2 tones in it and one is the bronzer and the other is the highlighter. I was hesitant at first when I got this because I saw that it had little sparkles in it, but when I put it on, they weren't noticeable at all. The highlighter didn't really work for me but the bronzer was perfect. I got it for $5 CAD at Target.

Covergirl Golden Sunset Trio: I recently purchased this item because R recommended it and I am so happy she did. It has all the metallic colours I love. The middle bronze colour is my favourite! Using an eyelid primer, the eye shadow stays on pretty good. The colours are perfect for the summer and can give your eyes the perfect glow. I got it for around $4 CAD.



Maybelline Golden Halo: This is my all time favourite eye shadow! It is the perfect colour and I cannot stress how much I love this! I got it last year for around $2.50 CAD and I have been using this most days for school. The rich gold colour brightens the eyes and I think it's perfect for the summer.









Elf Eyelid Primer: This is another product R recommended and gave me! For only $1 this is the best primer I've come across! In the summer my lids get super oily, so this primer helps keep my eyelids looking its best!









Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain: This is the older version of the Just Bitten stains but this is also one of my favourites overall for the whole year. It is the perfect shade for my lips. It can make your lips a bit dry, so I suggest you put some Chapstick with it (I put on my Baby Lips in Grapevine)...but it is one of my necessities in the morning. It just enhances your own lip colour and it looks very natural. It will make your lips look a bit rosier than it is, which I love! I got this for around $6.80 CAD.



Lancome Definicils Mascara: Last, but not least, my holy grail product, Lancome's Definicils Mascara! This is the only product which isn't found in a drugstore and it is quite pricey at around $25 CAD. However, this mascara can do wonders to your lashes. You won't ever need fake lashes with a couple swipes of this. It stays on the whole day and does't smudge. It's perfect for the summer! Well.....all year round for me!






Soooo these are my summer faves! Hope you like them! Let me know in the comments :D
