My Summer Beauty Bag

Saturday 8 July 2017

One of my little pleasures when I am getting ready for the holidays is to prepare my toiletry bag with Summer beauty products. We all want to be radiant on the beach (or wherever you go for your your vacation), but it requires a little extra attention because the sun can really damage your skin and your hair. That turns out well since we have more time to take care of ourselves!

These are the beauty products that I will pack in my suitcase:

-Barely There Moisture Fluid by Sampar: I’d rather use light textures during the Summer. I recently discovered the brand Sampar and their Moisture Fluid with essentials oils, that perfectly hydrates my skin with a “barely there” texture and a shine-free result.

-Micellar Foaming Cleanser with Rose Petals by Nuxe: I am a huge fan of micellar waters, they are the best to gently clean my face and let my skin regenerate at night. I chose this one because I love its foam texture (so nice to use and soft on my skin!) and its delicate rose scent.

-Coconut body cream by Yves Rocher: I’ve been using it for years, it’s my favorite as soon as Summer is coming ! It smells like the beach, holidays, and it’s also a great product to use as an after-sun hydrating balm. 

-Balmain Sun Protection Spray: Not only does it protect your hair from the sun, but it also gives a silky, luminous shine. The best to me is its fragrance!

– Hello Flawless Powder by Benefit: I don’t wear a lot of makeup during the Summer. This Benefit light powder is ideal to matify your skin with a natural, sheer result. I love to pick a shade one tone under my complexion, to balance it out after a day at the beach, when my skin’s a little reddened by the sun.

–Orgasm Blush by Nars: It’s one of Nars’ best-sellers and it comes in so many shades.  This one is the best for those whose  skin tones need to wear warm colors like me. I love to wear it on a bare skin, or when I need a more sophisticated makeup, I am wearing it over the Hello Flawless powder.

–Baume de Rose By Terry : I am a total lip balm addict. I wear a lip balm all day, all year long, and you’ll never catch me leaving home without it. I tried so many brands, but this one is my favorite! Thanks to By Terry’s Baume de Rose, my lips are nourished and plumped all day long, and I love to wear the “Rosy Baby” color during the Summer.

-Instant Light lip Confort Oil by Clarins: For a glossy and sophisticated finish on my lips, I love to use this Clarins product infused with 100% pure plant oils. Same thing here: I have tried so many different brands, but this one is the only one that is not sticky, has a long-lasting finish and reveals the natural color of your lips. Plus I love its sweet little taste!

–Supra-Volume Mascara from Clarins: When you don’t wear a lot of makeup, a good mascara is essential. This double effect mascara visibly creates intense volume for a full, magnified lash look (like an eyelash dyeing) and create a dramatic “dark lash” effect. I love to apply it after the beach and receive compliments on my makeup!

-4-Colour Eyeshadow Palette by Clarins: I only use eyeshadows for special occasions:a party, a wedding…When I do, I love to use this palette from Clarins: a quartet of satin, matte and iridescent finishes to mix and blend for a natural finish, or sophisticated smoky eyes.
