Summer comes and our beauty routine changes. We use more lotions and sunscreens and less foundations and concealers; otherwise, our faces will melt off. Here’s the list of our editor’s summer  beauty essentials  that will get you through those hot days. 

1. Sunscreen

Coola has an amazing organic sunscreen line. The product feels great and is lightweight.

2. Lip Balm

No more chapped lips with Pixi’s lip balm. Also, the tints are very pretty. 

3. A great shaving cream that will leave you feeling smooth

EOS’s (evolution of smooth) is a shea based  shaving cream.

4. A great peach  cheek for summer is a great way to look fresh and bright.

Nars’s Orgasm is a classic.

5. A great tan that doesn’t cause damage to your skin. 

And affordable. Sally sells a line call Tanwise that has several options depending on what you exactly like. These two products are great and essential for an instant tan.

Secret: I love being gold. I can tan in the sun well, but I can burn even better. lol 👎🤪 I also can get super pasty which happens every winter (and I live in Cali where it's sunny all the time). I like being tanned (maybe its the New Jersey in me) because I feel vibrant and glowy. It also covers up spider veins and other skin imperfections.🙃😉 Did you know that Milky-white skin was a sign of wealth, status, and beauty in many cultures because only the working class had to work with their hands and outside? ☹️This celebration of pale skin lead to racism, prejudice, and stereotypes. Anyhow, a big part of taking care of your skin is preventing damage. This is why I fake tan (with lotions). Okay, I'm done here...lol Stay Bronzy my Friends🌞🌞. #glow #glowgang #tanning

6. Lightweight translucent powder to keep you matte

We love this powder from NYX because it also color corrects and is affordable. Keep the shine away with this line, that offers several color correcting colors.

7. A lot of moisturizer

Vitamin E is a great addition to your beauty routine. Summer can be very drying with the weather, pool and beach. This is  definitely one of our summer beauty essentials.

9. A lightweight foundation 

If you must wear foundation choose a lightweight one. Benefit’s Hello Flawless is a great line.

Some weddings do not… so what do yo do when there isn’t a dress code? Here are some ideas that will help you to choose the perfect outfit for every summer wedding.

Vintage summer wedding dressing:

Beach summer wedding dressing:

These are the most casual outfit occasions. Even beach weddings give you an opportunity to have some fun of yours. No heels only sandals on beach wedding with a loose ponytail or wavy hairs. A maxi dress is the most ideal outfit for a beach wedding. Wear a simple eye makeup with a matte lipstick. Look sophisticated not over on a beach summer wedding.

Top Nail Colors for Summer 2018

Featuring IG Blogger Michelle @msessielove

Summer nail colors are just so fun. They can set the mood and tone for your whole outfit. Here are the top nail colors for summer 2018.

1. A Nice Soft Green Nail is definitely a top 2018 Summer Nail color 

Find this Summer Nail Color here…

I recently went on a hunt for rare Essies again and I was successful. This pretty minty color is called 'yespadrilles' and was part of the cashmere bright matte collection 2015. I think this was an US only release, I can't remember seeing them here in Europe. As the name of the collection suggests this polish dries down to a semi matte finish. I also took a picture without topcoat (👉swipe to see it). It looks nice matte but I personally prefer shiny nails so I added a glossy top coat. I did 3 coats but you could probably get away with 2 depending on the application. I love the color for spring and summer plus the TC makes the shimmer visible on the nail (at least in person) #essiepolish #essielove #essie #essieliebe #ohneessieohnemich #obsessie #essienista #essieyespadrilles #nailsoftheday

2. A Beautiful Blue Nail shouts Summer

Blue is definitely the most popular nail color of the 2018 summer season. From vibrant blues to almost greenish blue, to soft blues, to tiffany blue- the blue nail color is in. Essie is a great brand. 

3. A Pinkish Red is a Nice Neutral Nail Color for summer that you can pair with a great pink or red lip color. 

4. A Delightful Green Nails is very Fresh looking Nail color for Summer

Starting into the week on #manimonday with my most recent 'Instagram made me buy it' polish! This is 'going guru' from the 2016 resort collection, I actually didn't get any polishes from this collection when it first came out, I only ended up getting 'Delhi dance' later on. However I kept seeing spring inspired manis all over Instagram which also included 'going guru' quite a lot, so I thought I'll give it a go. Unfortunately I have to say I imagined it to be more pastel and I don't like this on me at all! I've been wearing this all day hoping it would grow on me in a weird way but it didn't. It's just not my kind of green! #essiepolish #essielove #essie #essieliebe #ohneessieohnemich #obsessie #essienista #essiegoingguru #nailsoftheday

Finding a great Swimsuit is hard. A great swimsuit is the difference between flashing the public or not. Here are 5 popular and easy accessible swimsuit brands rated, in case you need a last minute swimsuit.

1. Wal-Mart 

Good for non-water activities. Tops are flimsy, bottoms are flimsy. If you need something last minute for a pool party that you do not plan on getting wet at, then this is okay. 

Walmart Blue Bathing Suit

2. Target 

Depends on what Suit you purchase, but over the years, Target has really strived to stay trendy, which is much appreciated. Their swimsuits are lined very well and they have a variety of sizes in store and online. Their best swimsuits are constantly on sale as well.  

Cute Target Bathing Suit

3. Amazon

Thank-goodness for the return policy, because purchasing a swimsuit from them is like playing Roulette. See through suits with poor lining is common. Not water friendly. *This is not for all suits. 

Amazon Bathing Suits

4. Everything but Water 

Love these suits. Love the store. For a $200 swimsuit, I wouldn’t expect anything else. No mishaps.

Everything But Water Swimsuit

5. H & M

Flimsy bathing suits for women with bigger chests. 

 

Target Swim Suit

6. Forever 21

Some are flimsy, but some are well made. Just search and make sure you try on before leaving the store. Remember you can exchange only in store, but online their are options to return. 

The company that has the most affordable and widest selection of swimsuits is Target. 

The company that has great quality swimsuits that will last for a long time is Everything but water.
