Summer Favorites

I decided I wanted to do a different kind of blog today..Originally I was going to do this at the end of August, but I figured if I end up wanting to add anything I can add it..BUT basically this is going to be all of my current summer favorites (things I have recently discovered, and some I have repurchased and liked again) from makeup, to hair, to randoms..so here we go..


MAKEUP;

Moisturizer- 
Aveeno Positively Radiant, I really like this moisturizer it's not heavy like others I have tried, so its perfect for the summer, but it is very moisturizing in my opinion..I have been using this for a while now, and it really isn't too pricey.
Primer-
Hard Candy Sheer Envy, I just recently repurchased this as I mentioned in another blog..I still really like this, the formula is different and it is light, I feel like it is one of the best primers I have used honestly, especially for the price..I have used Cover Fx Matte primer which is more high end, and it didn't compare, the only other primer that I truly liked a little bit more than this was the L'oreal studio secrets primer.
Foundation-
For about 5 years I have been using Revlon Colorstay foundation..I have always really liked it but I decided to go on a limb this year and try something different, I have been wanting something with not as full of coverage, but still could initially build up to a fuller coverage so I bought Clinique Stay Matte Foundation, I really like it..I get a really good coverage from it, its very light, it doesn't look cakey, and best of all you don't have to set it with a powder! Now, one of the biggest things I like about it is the formula, going from Colorstay which was a more watery consistency to this which is more of a thicker consistency is a plus, so it seems like I don't have to use as much product.. it is more expensive but I would say it is worth it if you don't have dry skin, evidently since it is a matte foundation it will stick to the dry spots and not look so natural.
Concealer-
Derma blend concealer, is my all time favorite, it gives the perfect coverage!
Powder-
Now that I don't have to use powder this isn't really relevant but my all time favorite is Coty Airspun Powder.
Bronzer-
Milani bronzer, I haven't found an absolute favorite bronzer yet, but I really like this one its the perfect build.
