Warm color palettes, glowing highlighters and bronzers, lots of oranges and corals, and a few of my other essentials…this is what summer beauty is all about for me. These ten awesome products are my favorites of the moment, in no particular order.
1) I recently posted swatches of the gorgeous Too Faced Summer Eyes Palette. The colors are amazing and absolute perfection for the summer months. Warm brights and neutrals make for some gorgeous color combinations. I’ve been using this pretty often!
2) This wet n wild Ultimate Minerals Bronzer is AH-mazing! It gives the most gorgeous bronze glow when buffed into the skin. It’s like a bronzer and highlight in one!
3 and 4) When I’m not using #2, I absolutely love two cheek colors from Senna Cosmetics. From their Mod Muse Collection, Enlighten is the most lovely highlight with a soft, beautiful glow, while Clarity is the epitome of the perfect coral blush. A little goes a long way with these.
5) My neck doesn’t match my face or my chest, and it’s even more obvious when I get a little sun in the summer. A tan face and chest with a pale neck in between? Not a good look. To give my neck a daily faux tan, I use a bit of wet n wild Ultimate Tinted Moisturizer. Nice sheer coverage for a near-to-nothing price tag = a happy Jacqueline~
6) I pretty much confessed my love for the Milani Glitzy Glamour Lipglosses in a recent swatch and review post. They’re the ideal lightweight lipcolor. Pigmented, glossy, and deliciously watermelon flavored!

My beauty products stay pretty much the same all year round.
Also, the Too Faced packaging makes me cringe.

You need all that for summer? All I need is eyebrow powder/wax, mascara, and a little bit of brown eyeliner for my waterline. Oh, and tinted lip balm.
Plus, now that I’ve been foundation free for almost two months, I can afford to splurge more on a good mascara.

My beauty products don’t vary too much throughout the year, the only things that may change is the shade of tinted moisturizer/powder and the degree of richness in face creams. However, in summer I am more likely to wear less makeup, if my skin is looking good, I’d skip the face makeup and just go for the eyeshadow, blush and lipgloss. (Very likely to skip the eyeliner, too.)
@methodElevated@xanga - I agree, Too Faced eye palette packaging is creepy. I open up my makeup bag and there’s an eye staring back at me.

The wet and wild mineral loose powder bronzer is the best I’ve bought so far! It’s awesome and inexpensive! Needless to say, this bronzer is freaking epic! <333
