01 JunSummer 2010 Beauty “Must-Have’s”

Summer is finally here and we all love the warm sunny days at the beach, the  long getaway drives, summer vacation,  or just hanging out at the pool with some friends and family.   During the summer, I really hate the idea of spending too much time on makeup, or doing anything to my hair especially blow drying.    Here are some cool tips on to how to  achieve that beauty look without spending too much time or effort.

My “must-have” for the summer:

SPF Moisturizer: Protect your skin from damage this summer by SPF factor of 30 or higher.   Use it daily and you’ll help combat those early signs of aging such as sun spots and fine lines.  I usually have two, one in my car and in my bathroom.

Hair Cream: Since I hate to blow dry due to the  hot weather.  I was given a sample of Bumble and Bumble curl calming creme at one of the beauty salon and totally fell in love with it.  My hair looks healthy and shiny.   I apply calming creme  which leaves my hair free of frizz  with a  nice soft relaxed curls.

Tinted Foundation: Foundations or powder feel to heavy so I like to use tinted foundation and finish by applying a little concealer under the eye area will brighten that face.

Bronzer/Blush: Either go with a bronzer to add some color to your complexion or just go with a peachpink blush to add radiance to your complexion.

SPF 15 Lip Tint: I love the Paul Dorf SPF 15 lip tint. These come in a variety of colors, great for summer sheer lip color that hydrates  and conditions the lips.

Waterproof Mascara: For those days to the beach or pool.

Nail Color: My favorite thing to do in the summer is change my nail polish ever  two to three days.  Especially this summer there are so many beautiful colors to choose from.  I can’t download every image of all my favorite colors so I have listed some of my favorite sites to look at some really cool colors.
