Things I Like: Summer Shades

Summer shades . . .

Out with the old, and in with the new. Once summer hits, I like to trade in my usual beauty routine for one that’s minimal and subtle in color.

The Makeup Breakdown

Ellie Goulding x MAC Blush-Bronzer Duo
This compact combines a peachy pink blush with a medium hued bronzer. It’s the easiest way to add some sun kissed color to your cheeks.

Bobbi Brown ‘Beach’ Body Scrub
This gentle exfoliant lathers away dried, dead skin and smells like a day at your favorite beach. What’s not to love about that?

Dermalogica Sheer Tint SPF 20
All day protection plus a hint of color to cover up minor imperfections–this formula by Dermalogica is hydrating without feeling heavy.

Urban Decay ‘Cannonball’ Waterproof Mascara
Headed to the pool or out on a hike? Be sure to pack some waterproof mascara. It’s every girl’s best friend once the warmer temperatures hit.

Clinique ‘Chubby Stick’ Sculpting Contour
The ‘Chubby Stick’ glides on smoothly and gives instant definition to your face. It’s as easy as coloring between the lines.

Clinique ‘Chubby Stick’ Sculpting Highlight
Like it’s sculpting counterpart, this stick is super simple to use. It adds just the right amount of glow to areas like the tops of your cheekbones.
