Another school year's come and gone, and I am very glad it is summer! I've found a lot of great new products to share that are perfect for these hot summer days.
For the past week, I've been enjoying a relaxing vacation at the beach!
So far, I'm on my fifth book for the week. Trashy romances are just MADE for beach reading! Somehow, falling asleep to the sound of the crashing waves outside my window, and watching the beautiful colors on the horizon here always inspires me. Hopefully, I can channel some of that inspiration into blog posts. Here's to hoping the inspiration lasts!
So, for today, I thought I'd share some of my beachy favorites! Enjoy!
1. Books - if you couldn't tell from the absolutely obscene amount of books I've read just this week, I'm an avid reader. This week, I've read:
One Amazing Thing by Chitra Banerjee Divakarun
Fireworks Over Toccoa by Jeffrey Stepakoff
Nantucket Nights by Elin Hilderbrand
When You Dare by Lori Foster
and I'm in the process of finishing Awaken the Highland Warrior by Anita Clenney
So far, the overwhelming favorite is When You Dare *swoon* I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of this series. The next book is Trace of Fever.
Also in books, I'm dying to read the newest installment in the Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian: Deeper than Midnight! So excited! They don't carry it in any of the bookstores here at the shore, and it only just came out on Tuesday, so I've got to wait till we're home to pick that one up!
2. Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Perfume
This is my favorite summer scent. It reminds me of a mixture of suntan lotion and spice.. It is perfect for hot summer nights!
3. Tinted Lip Balms
My lips get so dry in this hot weather, and I love a lip balm that has a pretty pop of color in addition to being moisturizing. My favorites for this summer include:
- Fresh Sugar Honey lip treatment
- Korres Lip Butter in Pomegranate
- MAC Hello Kitty tinted lip conditioner in Popster
4. Bronzer
Too Faced Chocolate Soleil is my current favorite (I won't lie... it's partially because of the yummy smell!)
I also love Benefit Hoola
5. Glowing blush
Estee Lauder peach nuance is a great peachy blush (and an awesome dupe for the MAC ripe peach blush ombre!)
Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzer in Maui (this is labelled a bronzer, but it's pink/coral)
Cargo Beach Bronze in Miami Beach
6. Sunless tanning
I'm very fair skinned. I could spend hours in the sun and all I would get is sun poisoning. My favorite sunless tanner is the Sun Laboratories in Very Dark. It is wonderful! It is pricey, but a tube will last all summer long.
7. Body Butter
I think it's the water down here at the shore, but my skin is so dry! It's like winter time all over again! There is something so satisfying about quenching your parched skin with a luxurious body butter.
I love the Body Shop Satsuma body butter! Yummy refreshing orange scent.
My favorite for summer is Hawaiian Tropic after sun body butter. It has the same coconut scent as their suntan lotion, and is the most moisturizing thing I've ever used!!
Well, that's all from this beach bunny for now! I'm off to enjoy the rest of my book on my last night of vacation. Wishing you all sweet ocean breezes!
Becky xoxo
