Summer Favorites

Since summer is here finally, I have put together a list of some products that I currently love! With these products it does not matter what skin tone you have you will be able to find the right color and shade for yourself as well.

Lips!

I purchased a lipstick at the Chanel counter at Macy’s, yes it’s Chanel it is not as expensive as it sounds. They have matte finish lipsticks that leave your lips still feeling hydrated without that drying feel that other lipstick brands give you. It is called ROUGE ALLURE VELVET and it’s an intense long wearing lipstick for $36, the color I purchased was 40 La Sensuelle.

Foundation!

I recently tried a sample of NARS Luminous weightless foundation in the shade New Orleans and so far I’m loving it. I have not had any breakouts and it goes on smooth and leaves you with a flawless face, this foundation would be a great addition to your collection. It retails for $48.

Moisturizer/Primer!

Embryolisse Hydra-Mat Emulsion (if you are oily) and Lait-Crème Concentrè ( if your skin is normal)  is a moisturizer and primer in one. Just in case you think you’ll forget a makeup step or if you prefer a more simplistic one this is the product for you. It goes on nice and smooth and is dermatologist recommended. It retails for $16.

Nails!

I love OPI and Essie nail polish but the only downside is it usually lasts a week. Everyone normally goes bi-weekly for a mani/pedi and your nails chipping in between can be a bit of a bust. I opt for the shellac by CND which keeps my nails shiny and chip-less for two weeks until my next appointment. This is the color I currently have on my nails, Electric Orange!
