Yes ! YES summer is walking away ! I know ! So to salute it, here are the products that didn’t failed this summer 2012.
SMELL GOOD IN SUMMER
I am an absolute obsessed person when it comes to deodorants. And believe me, i have narrowed the picture to the ones i use the most (can you tell?.. humm?…) I have this thing, i do travel quite a bit, and i tend to forget the most important item for a lady : a deodorant ! Which makes me buy 2 everytime i travel !
My favorite is from NARTA ! As i really do not sweat, when these guys say 24/48h, my under arms stay DRY, it sometimes even get weird, for 2 days !
This summer i smelled Rocking Rio from ESCADA, please do not expect me to describe a scent, i’d rather have you go to Sephora, lol. All i can say is that it is very sweet.
FEEL SOFT IN SUMMER
Body Shop body butters stole my heart for over 10 years now, i have always been collecting these. Like litterally. The one i prefer is the Almond one (i heard it is only sold in France/Europe?!!.. Correct me if i am wrong please).
A lady CAN NOT go out with hairs under her arms ! I say NO ! So VEET hair remover is my best friend in this fight (oh yes i have never shaved my legs in my life, we not very hairy ladies in my family 🙂
NUXE the prodigious oil, very very beautiful (but useless to me) dry oil for laying around on the beach, at a coffee terrace, etc… I think it adds a beautiful shine & light smell, but overall i haven’t been using this thing more than 5x a year ! !
Now i always rave about grapeseed oil, this has been a life saver, it is the lightest oil i have ever used ! Whenever i don’t want to use the butters, i go for grapeseed oil.
My face make-up remover / lotion / water is this one from Bioderma, i discovered it about 2 years ago after i saw Sam from Pixiwoo do her favorite skincare products ! I use it winter/summer/fall let’s say all year around.
BE BEAUTIFUL IN SUMMER
Make-up wise, i actually DON’T like make-up in summer ! Unless i am going to a wedding (yes people tend to get married in summer, go figure 🙂 lol). I keep make-up to the minimum : powder foundation + blush + mascara + lip balm !And as i am a collector, i change the lip balm & mascara on a daily basis ! Yes 🙂
I NEVER understood those ladies going to the beach with full make-up face! but hey, to each their own, my mother would tell me “Let them do what makes them happy” (wise blessed woman !)
WALK LIGHT IN SUMMER
Yes ! This pair is my best buy this summer, the shoe you get because you wore heels all day and at 7pm you’d kill for a pair of flats / sandals ! So i have been rocking them a lot with every outfit, they just very casual yet class.
Now i just tought this wouldn’t be a 100% true if i didn’t add my favorite gums ! FREEDENT fruity flavor ! All the time !
What were your favs? The ultimate if you had to name only one? 🙂 Thanks for your time my loves
Which Mac and Nars did you have in the picture. Looks like a good combination.
MAC studio fix powder foundation in NW45 and NARS Cactus flower blush, which is btw absolutely not looking like this pink you see on the pict, this was the best shot i got, but it is more like an orange-corally type of blush, and it is a creamy one @Tam
