Summer Essentials 2014

Hello Fashionistas!! I hope everyone is having a lovely Monday. After a lovely day in the lab, I wanted to do a post about some of the things that I've grabbed for the most the past few days. As you all know, I started my bioengineering internship a couple of weeks ago, and I'm also taking summer courses. Between my busy schedule and the hot Texas summers, I just know that these products are going to become my staples for this summer. 

Product 1: Canvas Backpack/Bag 

Since it's so hot, I hate carrying too many things in/on my arms. I love canvas backpacks. They're cute and they hold everything from my school books to my wallet and keys. I have several in different prints to match all of my outfits.

Canvas Backpack: $17.99, Amazon.com

Product 2: Nutriganics Foaming Facial Wash 

I love this facial wash!!! I actually started using this a few months ago, but it's really refreshing and cooling for summer. It's deep cleansing and protects against aging. 

Nutriganics Foaming Facial Wash: $14, The Body Shop

Product 3: Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow

I totally fell in love with this product when I first tried it. I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis, and my eyebrows have fallen out quite a bit, but this product has helped a lot. It has fibers that adheres to skin and hairs to create the appearance of a fuller brow. It's totally worth every dime.

GimmeBrow: $22, Ulta, Ulta.com, Sephora, Sephora.com

Product 4: Vitamin E Moisture Cream

I love this moisturizer. It makes my skin look amazing. I apply this right after washing my face with the Nutriganics Foaming Facial Cleanser, and then I am able to to just walk right on out the door. My skin actually feels protected and hydrated.

Vitamin E Moisture Cream: $16.50, The Body Shop, Ulta.com

Product 5: Ulta Butter Balm

I was really surprised when I tried this gloss. It goes on like a gloss, but it moisturizes like a lip balm!!! The colors are really pretty and not overly pigmented, and the stay is long lasting. I drink a lot of water, but the balm stayed on for about 2 hours, so I was really impressed. 

Ulta Butter Balm: $8, Ulta, Ulta.com

Product 6: Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie

Since it's too hot for straight hair right now (lol), I've packed up my flat iron, and I'm just going to wear my curly hair all summer. Curly hair is much lighter and easier to maintain when it's hot. So this is my go to product when washing my hair. 

Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie: $9.99, Target, Target.com, etc.

Product 7: Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner

I really love this product. It really minimizes my pores and makes my skin less oily. It's also a lot cheaper than many of the pore toners that I've seen on the market, and I believe that this one works just as well. 

Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner: $7.47, Walmart

Product 8: Jordana Forever Flawless Pressed Powder

I don't wear makeup often because I have super sensitive skin. I probably wear makeup twice a month, but when I do, I wear the Jordana Forever Flawless Pressed Powder. This powder doesn't break me out as much as other powders I've tried, and I think it makes my complexion look great. 

Jordana Forever Flawless Pressed Powder: $4, CherryCulture.com 

Product 9: Joggers

My latest obsession has been joggers. I really love the versatility of them. They're cute and comfortable. They're perfect for my lounge, study days or class days. I've seen them in so many cute prints and styles. 

Tribal Print Joggers: $52, Alexmalay.com

What are some of the products that you can't live without for summer, ladies? I hope you all enjoyed this post. Please, feel free to comment. Thank you all for the comments on my previous post. Have a lovely Day!!!
