WHAT I WANT FOR SUMMER: BEAUTY

Summer is here which means TONS of new beauty releases, eek! I love love loveeeee testing out new products so I usually have a never-ending "Buy + Try" wish-list. I've been really excited by a lot of the new releases so I thought I would share a few items from my list that I think are perfect for summer!

I love sharing my top picks and favorite things with you all. Should you click on or make a purchase through the links in this post, I'll earn some money to keep on shopping! Pretty neat, huh? :)

You had me at "Hamptons" and "Weekender" here. I'm always impressed with Tarte products and this palette is both pretty and practical. It has a highlighter, blush and contour all in one and is compact which is great for trips or throwing in your makeup bag (plus it's just super cute). I also love the warm, peachy tones which are my go-tos during the summer. 

Okay so I pretty much freaked when I saw the new additions to the NARS Orgasm family. The original NARS Orgasm blush is my ride or die. If I could only own and use one blush for the rest of my life, I would choose it. Seriously life-changing. ANYWAYS... NARS came out with a few new items in the same shade/collection. I honestly want everything (including this new mega-size blush) but I was most-excited for this lip balm. It's suppose to be very moisturizing with just a wash of color. It sounds like the perfect summer lip product and also has pretty packaging.

I'm pale AF you guys so I'm new to the self-tanning game. I honestly don't have a lot of experience using self-tanners but this new line caught my eye. All of their products are suppose to help color-correct your skin while also giving you a tan. They also contain organic ingredients like avocado and coconut to help hydrate your skin. They have a self-tanning mousse, self-tanning water and self-tanning drops. There are three different shades.

This product looks so neat! In a nut-shell it is a setting power infused with water to leave a "mist-like effect on skin" while also setting..?!??! I have never seen anything like this before! I have normal-to-dry skin so I don't use a lot of powder BUT THIS I need. I do use a little loose powder to set under the eyes and for baking so this looks amazing!

The original beautyblender is one of my favorite tools to apply and blend out makeup. For the summer they released this limited edition sapphire-blue version and it's gorgeous! I have a few backup blenders so I don't really need this, but what's one more?

I've been seeing a lot about Kopari's new summer line all over social media. I'm actually curious about several of the products but I want to try the Coconut Lip Glossy first. I love a good basic lip balm that hydrates and this one is around $12 so not too pricey!

I didn't really plan on picking this up but then I caught a glimpse of it one day in Ulta. I'll be real with you guys and say the packaging got me... it's shiny, rose gold and very girly. The colors also look very versatile and wearable.

This looks like summer in a bottle! This is "a skin-softening oil with just the right amount of shimmer—not too much, not too little—to reflect light beautifully on all skin tones." It comes in the shades "Ipanema Sunset" as well as "Copacabana Bronze."

Literally always the packaging that gets me. I've heard great things about the MakeUp Eraser over the years and the flamingos sold me. Adorable!!


What's your favorite product for summer?
