Summer Essentials: Body & Hair Care



Ola beauty lovers! Yes I know it has been a long ass minute since I have posted. You lovely ladies never leave my mind, believe me. Now that July is here, and I have already shared my summer face essentials, it is now time for Body and Hair care products!

I don't know about you but I go nuts for body care and hair care products just as much as makeup products. With Summer here and I am always in the sunshine when I am not stuck in my cubicle at work with no windows (I know yuck!) there are always certain products I heart during this gorgeous beautiful season.

Let's begin...

1. Bath & Body Works Triple Moisture Body Cream
  • A good moisturizer is key during the warmer months just as it is in the winter months. I tend to stick with the theme of the summer and go with a summer scent to spruce things up. Make sure after your in the sun, you shower and apply a good body cream because your skin will love you forever for that! I enjoy the Bath and Body Works Triple Moisture Body Creams because A. they do not have parabens, and B. they are not greasy, and C. they come in fun scents! 




2. Bath & Body Works Body Mists
  • Now with the hot weather, comes perspiration times ten! Now ladies this is nothing to be ashamed of. We are all human. But girls please carry with you a body mist to spritz your self as a refresher if you need to. These two come in fun scents! They also come in travel sizes too so you can throw them in your purse!



3. Moisturizing Body Wash: Dove

  • You always need to make sure your skin is moisturized from the very first step of hygiene. My favorite body wash that just gives my skin the best drink of moisture is Dove. It is affordable and you can find it at any grocery store or drug store.




4. Deep Conditioning treatment for Hair: Coconut Oil OR Macadamia Deep Repair Mask

  • Now I know that some of us are on a budget, and the best most cost efficient deep conditioning treatment there is out there is coconut oil. This amazing natural oil is great for the scalp and hair. Make sure you purchase a bottle that says EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL because you want the oil to be less processed as possible. You can find this oil at any local grocery store or natural food store for under $10.




  • For those of you who may not have too much time to use coconut oil. The Macadamia Deep repair mask is one of my favorites to use as a treat on my hair. It is on the more pricey side but it works wonders and you do not need to user this every time you shower. I would say once a week if your hair is healthy. Twice a week if you have destroyed your hair where you have so much breakage and processed cuticles that it desperately needs treatment twice a week.




5. John Freida Root Awakening Shampoo
  • Shampoo is another importance for you hair. My favorite for the summer is the John Freida Root Awakening Shampoo. It has Eucalyptus and Mint that cools the scalp and just re-freshens you whole head. With the hot muggy weather we have here in Toronto Canada this shampoo is definitely a cooler for me. This product can be found at any grocery store or drug store. Very affordable as well.


6. Lush Sea Salt Spray
  • Every girl has the need for beach waves in their hair. My favorite product for the summer to get those natural waves is the Lush Sea Spray. Very affordable, about $12 a bottle. Once you get out of the shower towel dry hair, then spray this product in, and as your hair naturally dries you get a cute wave. To enhance the waves braid your hair and let it dry. You can also use this spray on dry hair. Just love this product in the hot weather.




That is all for today ladies! Hope you enjoyed!

Until next time beauty lovers

Summer Essentials: Makeup & Face

Ola beauty lovers! I have sitting here enjoying the beautiful sunshine when it donned on me that Summer is here! That means there are some summer beauty and hair products that are just a MUST for me during this season and I am sharing them with you so that you can pick them up and try out for yourself.

Now go grab your pen and paper while I sit here and wait. Go on, I am waiting....

Good now that your ready to take notes I am diving in, lets get started:

1. Sunscreen - Body and Face- Neutrogena Wet Skin ($19)
  • Now we all need to protect ourselves from the harsh damage the sun can do to us humans. Therefore a sunscreen is important. I use this Neutrogena Wet Skin sunscreen for ALL over my body, including face. Why you may ask? Am I crazy? Well no, I'm not crazy. First off this amazing sunscreen is sweat proof, waterproof, and can be applied to wet or dry skin. So right there it's convenient. It is also oil free, PABA free and hypoallergenic. Plus it's dermatological tested. Which means I can use this also on my FACE! BONUS! This brand of sunscreen comes in 30SPF or 60SPF UVA/UVB protection. I have the 60SPF because you just never know. This baby is a bit more on the pricey side but well worth it since it has a lot of benefits. You can find this at your local drug stores.



2. Lip Balm- EOS ($3-$4)
  •  I don't leave my house without a lip balm any time of the year period. But when you are on the beach or at the cottage in the sun your lips can tend to dry out and crack....well at least mine do for some odd reason. So I always make sure I slather on a lip balm. It's preferred to use a balm with SPF especially if you are out in the sun, but even the EOS balms are great, they are 100% natural and 95% organic.  They are affordable and their scents are great! You can find these also at your local drug stores.



3. Sunglasses- Aldo ($12)
  • With the brightness going on outside, you need to have at least 1 pair of sunglasses. Every time your outside you must put them on to protect those eyes. 


4. Bright Nail polish- Kit Cosmetics ($4 each)
  • Ladies, you must crack open your bright nail polishes! This is the time of year to flaunt them, wear them, enjoy them! I have so many brights that my spring/summer is filled with different brights weekly! These can be found at your local drug store. Very affordable too! :)

5. BB Cream- Garnier ($15)
  • For those of you who need some coverage on the face or to just even out your skin tone. A BB Cream is a great summer time option. Most BB creams come with SPF protection so you don't have to worry about that. This one is my ultimate favorites, and it can be found at the drug stores. Which means more affordable than most high end BB creams. This one is very light weight, and provides coverage, enough to even out your skin tone. Make sure ladies you get the oily combination skin type one so that it is oil free. 



6. Bronzing Powder - MAC Bronzing Powder "Refined Golden" ($30 CDN)
  • Everyone needs a bronzing powder for the summer time. My current favorite is the MAC cosmetics bronzer. Yes I know it is a bit pricey. Another affordable option at the drug store can be Milani Baked bronzer's or the Wet n' Wild Bronzer's. Or even the Physicians Formula Bronzing powders are great as well! But the one I use lately all the time is my MAC one. It does have some golden flex to it, but it really just helps your skin glow like JLO! 



7. Bright Lipstick- Milani "Rose Hip" ($5-$7)
  •  With the warm weather, we think of tropical colors. Well I know I do. That makes me want to always be wearing a bright ass lipstick. It's fun, it's colorful, why not? The best affordable bright lipstick I own and enjoy is the Milani Color Statement Lipstick in the shade "Rose Hip". This is basically a HOT PINK and its gorgeous! Again these can be found at your drug stores. In Canada they are found at the Superstores. 




Well ladies, that was it for Summer Essentials for Makeup and Face. Leave me comments to let me know if you want to see Summer Essentials for Hair and Skin.

Until next time beauty lovers !
