Summer Beauty Picks
The Kissu Lip Tint SPF 25 by Tatcha
“Tatcha lip tint is the perfect way to moisturize your lips while adding a subtle pop of color.”
Editor’s Notes
I bought the Camellia (mid-range tint) which is a light red on me that’s very natural looking. It’s sheer enough that I can apply it without a mirror when I’m on the go but also buildable when I want a deeper hue. It’s good to know that my lips are protected from the summer sun (I’m outdoors a lot in summer), and the beautiful white case is a work of art. I love how moisturizing it is with Lanolin to nourish my lips and that I look effortlessly put together.
Tanning Water by Salty Face
“Salty Face Tanning Water gives me a subtle glow that’s so radiant I skip the foundation.”
Editor’s Notes
I’ve been telling anyone who will listen about this Salty Face Tanning Water because it is that good. This set includes everything you need for an effortless and even tan: the Tanning Water for the face and body, the Mist Top so you can evenly mist your face, and the Tanning Brush for flawless blending. I’m pretty fair skinned so I use the light to medium. I like to apply it before bed so I wake up with an amazing glow. If you’re interested in this tanning mist, I highly recommend you invest in the whole set as the brush is perfect for blending and you don’t have to worry about the product staining your hands. I love how lightweight this formula is so it doesn’t clog my pores, which is a big plus for maintaining healthy skin.
Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Mascara
Editor’s Notes
I’ve been using Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. This mascara is truly waterproof, and it gives my lashes incredible length. I hate when typical waterproof mascaras smudge and then it’s hard to remove from your under eyes. This tubing mascara won’t smudge so it’s great for swimming, days at the beach, or simply a hot summer day. Despite its staying power, it’s surprisingly easy to remove at the end of the day. I’ve tried many mascaras, but this one stands out for adding length and its waterproof, smudge-free formula. Highly recommend!
Daily Dew SPF 25 by Kinfield
“This sunscreen smells amazing with a dewy finish that’s perfect for adding a slight glow under makeup.”
Editor’s Notes
I use Kinfield Daily Dew SPF 35 every day, and I’m so glad I discovered it. It works wonderfully, leaving my skin protected without any white cast. Although it leaves a slight shine, it blends smoothly under foundation and other makeup and I love the dewy finish. Knowing it’s free from toxins gives me peace of mind. I previously used another SPF 50 brand and still got burned, but with Kinfield, I haven’t burned once. Even better – you don’t need much product, and the scent is refreshing. I’ll definitely keep buying this sunscreen.
Gold Lust Palette by RÓEN
“I love bronze eyeshadow for summer – perfect for green or brown eyes.”
Editor’s Notes
The versatility of this palette is incredible. The shades are perfect for wearing alone or blending, layering, and mixing for endless looks. It’s my go-to for achieving an effortlessly glamorous look in minimal time. I usually steer clear of creamy and glittery eyeshadows, especially ones that require finger application, but this palette has completely won me over.
Out of the four shades, only one has the glitter formula, while the other three are more like reflective shimmers. The creamy texture blends so seamlessly, and just one swipe gives me a beautiful, multidimensional look.
If you’re on the fence about trying a Roen eyeshadow palette, I can’t recommend it enough. The beautiful shades, easy application, and stunning results make it a must-have in any makeup collection.
