Summer Beauty

July 15, 2020

It’s getting hot out there and it’s time for cotton dresses, flip flops and wide-brimmed hats. Summer means shedding a few layers and showing some skin. But it’s important to keep that skin, as well as your hair, protected from the sun.

Summer Beauty

I’ve rounded up my favorite skincare, beauty and haircare products that are sure to keep your body protected and hydrated all summer long. Instead of sweating, you’ll glow!

Skincare

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099229″]

Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Day Cream SPF 23

This product was suggested to me during a hydrafacial at Sephora and I’ve been using it ever since. The scent and texture are luxurious, it just glides onto the skin.

Tatcha Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35 PA+++

I treat this like a primer. This cream is light and it serves as the perfect canvas for a flawless summer face.

Caudalie Beauty Elixir

The Beauty Elixir from Caudalie is one of my favorite beauty products. Period. I have several bottles all over my house and I always keep a small bottle in my purse. It is so refreshing. Pro tip: Use it during and after a flight. You can thank me later.

Haircare

Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat & UV Protective Primer

You protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays, why not protect your hair? I find that when I consistently use this spray before I heat style my hair my color lasts longer.

Ouai Texturizing Hairspray

This spray is light enough that it doesn’t weigh down your hair or make it crunchy. It provides just enough hold for those beachy waves.

Bumble And Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil UV Protective Dry Oil Finishing Spray

Finish your look off with this luxurious spray which not only protects your hair, it gives it a summery sheen.

FRESH Sugar Lip Balm Sunscreen SPF 15

This is a product that I keep coming back to. It keeps my lips exfoliated and hydrated. It also protects them from the sun which is something that can often be overlooked. 

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099252″]

IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream with SPF 50+

I received a sample size tube of this and it has lasted me weeks. A little goes a very long way. Though it provides sheer coverage, this CC cream neutralizes redness while giving me a sun-kissed glow. 

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099253″]

Tom Ford Cream and Powder Eye Color in Reflection

I love cream eyeshadows but have had little luck finding one that doesn’t crease. Though this formula isn’t perfect, if I apply it over a thin layer of CC cream it stays put better than any other cream shadow I’ve tried. 

Bonus Points

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099259″]

Hydracy Water Bottle with Time Marker

If I’m dehydrated, my skin is dehydrated and no amount of makeup will help me out. I’ve shared my love for this water bottle before. It really helps me to stay up on my water intake.

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099261″]

Esarora Ice Roller

Ideally you should keep your beauty products in the fridge but this stays in the freezer. After washing and drying my face I run this roller all over, paying particular attention to under my eyes. It gets rid of any puffiness and it’s very refreshing on a hot day.

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099262″]

Eugenia Kim Sunny “Do Not Disturb” Hat

Why not employ fashion to help protect yourself against the sun’s harmful rays? This cheeky hat is a staple in my beach bag! 

So there you have it. These are my essential summer beauty products that I always have with me for any beach day or warm weather getaway. What are some of your favorite summer beauty products?

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

They actually called me “Queen Barbie” while we we They actually called me “Queen Barbie” while we were here, and honestly? I’m never giving the title back. 👑✨

Raising two girly-girl mini-mes means I get to relive all the best parts of my childhood, but this time with a much better wardrobe and a fabulous pink cocktail in hand. 🍸

We finally made our way to the Malibu Barbie Cafe in Boston, and it was everything my inner child (and my two actual children) could have dreamed of. From lounging on the Malibu beach and answering calls in the retro phone booth, to splitting the most epic Barbie Cupcake Boat after a surprisingly delicious dinner—the vibes were immaculate. It’s part nostalgic wonderland, part downtown chic, and entirely unforgettable.

If you want to step into the Dreamhouse, you have to move fast. The Barbie Cafe is packing up its convertible and leaving Boston on July 19th!

Here is your Queen Barbie itinerary:

📸 Snap a photo by the giant boom box & inside the iconic Barbie Box

🧁 Order the Cupcake Boat (trust me, the kids’ faces are worth it)

🥂 Treat yourself to a pink cocktail, because Mama Barbie deserves it

Tag your favorite girl mom or your own Barbie squad—you have until July 19th to make it happen! 💖✈️

Don’t get me wrong, I will always have a soft spot Don’t get me wrong, I will always have a soft spot for a classic Disney romance and a sweeping ballgown. But there is something incredibly refreshing about Moana—a story that trades the glass slippers for an outrigger canoe and focuses entirely on self-discovery. 🌺

A young girl leaving everything she knows behind, taking on the gods, and saving the world completely on her own? That is the exact kind of rebellious sparkle and unapologetic ambition we celebrate in this house.

Why the Live-Action Hits Different:
🐚 Growing Up with the Magic: The new live-action film has a slightly more serious, grounded edge to it. It’s been amazing watching Arielle transition from the animated classic to this version—it feels like the story has grown up right alongside her, offering a beautiful new perspective for the girls who have loved it for years.
🐚 The Fun Factor: Yes, seeing The Rock belting out a tune and hitting choreo in real life is exactly as iconic as you’d hope.
🐚 That Signature Sparkle: They seamlessly wove breathtaking animation into the live-action scenes, keeping the undeniable Disney magic alive while elevating the grit and beauty of the story.

Do I want my girls dodging lava monsters or navigating treacherous oceans alone? Hard pass (getting everyone through a chaotic airport in one piece is adventure enough for me 🥂). But do I want them absorbing every ounce of that fierce, boundary-pushing spirit? Absolutely. 

Here’s to raising girls who build their own boats, chart their own courses, and never let anyone dictate what they can or cannot do. 🖤🌺

Moana opens in theaters on Friday - a big thanks to @alliedglobalmarketing for giving us a sneak preview last night!

Also, can I please get a little love for my Moana #disneybounding? If you want to grab my look for when you head to the theater, head to my LTK (link in bio or the link below!

It’s history with a little friendly competition, a beautiful waterfront breeze, and the perfect excuse to put on a cute skirt and grab an iced coffee.

Aurora may or may not have taken the “defiance” part of the course a little too seriously, but they had a blast.

Happy 4th of July to the rule-breakers, the advoca Happy 4th of July to the rule-breakers, the advocates, and everyone who likes their independence with a little rock ’n’ roll edge. 🎸✨

✨ Equal rights for all 
✨ Uncompromising women’s rights 
✨ Unrestricted access to healthcare 
✨ Fully funded boards of education
