1: Garnier Fructis Anti-Humidity Hairspray

No matter how many brands I try, I keep going back to this hairspray. It’s super cheap, and it does an amazing job at controlling fly-aways and frizz without weighing your hair down or making it hard/sticky. I don’t think this hairspray completely blocks the effects of humidity, but it definitely helps a lot! Love it.

I’m pretty sure this polish is going to be my go-to summer shade. Fancy Fuchsia is the most amazing, creamy blue-toned hot pink. The picture above absolutely does not do the color any justice, so I’ll have to do a swatch for you guys soon! It’s kind of the perfect balance between a normal pastel pink and in-your-face neon hot pink. Barbie would definitely wear this polish 24/7, and so do I. 

Oh my goodness. I know that I’ve put this primer in a previous favorites posts, but I’ve been loving this product lately. It is a water-based primer, which is perfect for hot summer days. It keeps your makeup from melting off your face in the hot summer sun without being oily at all. This primer is lightweight and feels more like a gel moisturizer than a regular primer. I’m in love.

I can’t believe this product is only three dollars. Both products are gorgeous colors with great pigmentation. The packaging is surprisingly nice for such a cheap product, and it comes with a huge mirror! I just love how convenient this duo is, and they’re the perfect summer colors. I’ve been wearing the pinky-peach blush almost every day. The bronzer is good too, but I still prefer my Tarte Park A5. ve Princess waterproof bronzer.

I received this nail polish in my May Birchbox, and I’m been wearing it almost every day since! It’s a really beautiful metallic dark champagne color, and it looks amazing with a summer tan. The application was so easy- two coats for opaque color, and the polish doesn’t chip for at least four days. This polish is my first Zoya experience, and I will definitely be buying a lot more of their colors!

I received this lip balm in my March Birchbox, and it’s saved my lips for the last few months. My lips are always extremely chapped, and this balm has really helped to keep my lips moisturized. The scent is really unique- citrus-based with a slight licorice note. It sounds strange, but it smells really amazing.

I received this product from BzzAgent a few months ago, and I’m so glad I did. This medium-coverage foundation goes on so smoothly, and you literally feel like you’re almost not wearing makeup. It’s such a lightweight feel for providing a medium level of coverage. The only thing I’m not really crazy about is the packaging. I really prefer liquid foundations to have a pump, but I think that this foundation is great for hot summer months. It helps to cover blemishes and even out your skin tone without the heavy feeling of normal foundation. 

I’ve been a Hard Candy fan for years, so I was thrilled when they moved their product line to Walmart. This concealer is AMAZING. This full-coverage is an exact dupe of Kat Von D’s Tattoo Concealer for a less than one third of the price. I’m addicted to this stuff. The concealer goes on perfectly, and it’s ridiculously pigmented. I’m not sure how I lived without this product for so long!
