The Body Shop Virgin Mojito Body Scrub
When summer hits the scrubs come out. I love having really smooth legs in summer since its all about shorts and dresses. This scrub is phenomenal! First of all the scent.. I cannot describe in words. It smells so fresh and Limey with a hint of mint. It just smells like a Caribbean vacation. This scrub is more of a gel type, rather than a creamy type scrub. It has very small grains but also there's large beads which give you slightly more exfoliation. It's not very abrasive, it's more something that you could use more often like 1-4 times a week. It's quite gentle and leaves your skin extremely soft and lightly scented. The Virgin Mojito range is actually limited edition for summer so I would get my hands on it as soon as possible.
Escada Cherry in the Air Perfume
Recently I got this perfume on sale, and was really excited since I love Escada perfumes, their just so fruity and sweet. This smells amazing, it has that very fruity, sweet scent that most Escada perfumes have. It has main notes of cherry, raspberry and apricot, middle notes of marshmallow, gardenia, vanilla and orchids and bottom notes of sandalwood, musk and white sued. It lasts quite long on the skin and is overall just an amazing fragrance.
Skincare
The Body Shop Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion
You can see that I have been loving the body shop lately, but this I have to say is one of the products that's not gonna be leaving my beauty bag. I recently bought this product and after 1 use I could tell the difference. It really does make your breakouts less noticeable and is very light weight so It's perfect for the summer.
Palmers Cocoa Butter Lip balm
Recently my lips have been super dry even though it's starting to be slightly warmer. Most of my lip balms are for making your lips really soft and conditioned but not that much to healing really cracked lips, so I decided I had to buy something to help my lips. I picked this because I heard that Candice Swanepoel uses this so of course, her being the beauty that she is I had to buy it. First of all it smells heavenly just like a cocoa, chocolate scent and it really does repair chapped lips. This lip balm is also very affordable so it's something that's gonna be a must have this summer.
Makeup
NYX Illuminator in Narcissistic
The past couple months I have been all about highlighters. I've never been a person who really wore highlighters because I thought it just made you look shiny but recently I have fallen in love. The one I have been using is the NYX Illuminator in the shade Narcissistic. It is a really pretty shade that is quite peachy and warm toned. It gives the perfect amount of shimmer and gives an overall glowy look.
Tinted lip Balms
Now, I don't have a specific balm but for summer I think these are necessary. I love the tinted baby lips, pixi and some other brands. I think they just give the right amount of colour and are really light and super moisturizing.
Nails
Barry M Hi Shine Polish in Rose hip
Lately I've been seeing a lot of people with this gorgeous light pink shade and I just had to try it myself. The colour looks so good especially with a tan. Also this formula is very smooth and super shiny. It's a great light shade perfect for the summer.
So these are some of the things I will be rocking this summer, and hopefully I have given you all some more ideas. Please tell me your summer must haves in the comments below and talk to u next time.
