Makeup Bag Essentials For Summer

Winter is finally over and summer is here to stay. With a change in the weather comes a change in my my makeup routine. Summer is all about dewy, glowy skin that looks effortless and natural. Here are my go-to's for achieving that sunkissed, radiant look.

1. Sephora Luminizing Drops

These drops are literally sunshine in a bottle. I love using these to make my skin look extra glowy without necessarily looking sparkly. The cap twists off and is used as a dropper so you have a lot of control over how much or little you want to use. These drops are great for a quick and easy addition to your makeup routine for extra radiant looking skin.

2. Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Primer

This primer has been my go-to for a long time. This will prepare your face for whatever you are putting on it that day. It makes my pores nonexistent and leaves my skin feeling smooth like a baby. Just remember that a little goes a long way and you’ll be set!

3. IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream With SPF 50+

For those of us who start to look pink after a while in the sun, this cream is a lifesaver. I actually use this in place of foundation in the summer. This product is more of a sunscreen consistency than foundation, but it is surprisingly full coverage. While most members of the tinted moisturizer family are sheer to low coverage, this one covers like most foundations would. It’s very moisturizing too which makes the skin look glowy and not cakey. People might still mistake you for a dessert though.

4. Colourpop Drop of a Hat Super Shock Blush

This. Is. So. Pretty. Honestly, words cannot describe the love I have for this blush, but I’ll try. First of all, this blush can really be whatever you want it to be. It’s crazy buildable, so you can dab a little on your cheeks to add some color or add some more for that perfect summertime look. This blush has some shimmer to it so it makes your skin look so healthy. The consistency is amazing too, it’s creamy so you get an even application, but it isn’t heavy. The color pay off is insane and the color itself is like summer in a little container. You'll be left looking sunkissed without looking flushed. I don’t know how Colourpop did it, but I’m in love.

5. Colourpop Yes, Please! Pressed Powder Shadow Palette

This eyeshadow palette is so perfect for summer. The colors are so warm even the sun won’t have anything on you. There’s a good variation of mattes and shimmers which is great for creating a lot of different looks. There are also some darker warm-toned shades, so you can switch from day to night looks with ease. Colourpop’s insane pigmentation definitely has me saying “yes, please.”

6. Urban Decay Cosmetics Quick Fix Hydra-Charged Complexion Prep Priming Spray

I like to top off any summer look with this spray. It’s supposed to be used for priming and to refresh your makeup throughout the day, but I also like to spray it on my face right after I complete my makeup just to make my face look dewy and fresh. I think that it just ties my makeup together and makes my skin look really healthy. This product also smells amazing so I like to find any reason to use it. I do like to spritz a little on my face throughout the day if my makeup needs some brightening and refreshing.

7. Jouer High Pigment Pear Lip Gloss - Maui

This lip gloss is the queen of lip glosses. If your lips ever feel dry this is the lip gloss for you. It is so hydrating it feels amazing. It’s really lightweight, but delivers awesome coverage. What I really love about this gloss is the finish. It’s a really pretty peach with flecks of gold and rose gold. I add this to any makeup look when I feel like looking like a glowing, bronzed goddess (which is every day).

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
