1. Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette [$27.00 at Sephora]
I find myself constantly reaching for this palette. Colors are fun to play with in the summer, but most of the time I like to keep my makeup fresh and simple in the heat. This palette allows me to contour the eye area and even create a simple day smokey eye ... that will even later transfer easily into a night look. With 6 neutral colors, 5 matte, and one frost color that's perfect to pop in the inner corner to brighten the eyes. (TIP: Venus (frost color) is perfect to tap on your cupids bow or over your lipstick in the center of your lips to make your lips appear fuller). The colors cater to all skin types and the formulation is beyond amazing! A little goes a long way with all these colors ... definitely will repurchase once I begin to hit pan on any of the shadows!
2. Benefit's Coralista [full size .28oz $28.00 at Sephora]
Coral is the new pink! Coral lips or coral blush are so popular this summer and this blush is perfect to add to your collection! I'm not a fan of shimmery blushes, but this blush has the perfect amount of shimmer. Allows your cheek to highlight in the sunlight! A pinky coral blush allows you to follow the trend without going out of anyone's comfort zone. Did I mention that is also has a beautiful floral scent? Not too much of a fan of scented makeup, but this one smells amazing in the packaging. The scent doesn't transfer to your face, but it is a nice touch, thank you Benefit!
3. Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment (full size.15oz $22.50 at Sephora
If you picked up your birthday freebie at Sephora last year, you know what I'm about to get into! I do love bright lips, but there are days that lipstick is just out of the question. I love kissing my nieces practically everyday and lipstick isn't a good mix in that! Nothing gets better than the feeling of hydrating lips ... even beautiful lipsticks can't beat that! This lip treatment doesn't only feel so smooth on your lips, but it smells amazingly! It leaves your lips moisturized all day! I love to apply this after using a lip scrub [see my lip scrub review, here]. It leaves your lips feeling so FRESH by using reparative oils and natural sugar! Includes vitamin A, C, and E to prevent wrinkles. Although $22.50 is a bit pricey especially compared to my original chapstick that comes in a pack of 3 for $2.99, this lip treatment definitely deserves it's out shout out, which brings me here ... The packaging is amazing and if you want to get fancy, there are colors available to spice of your look. I use the Sugar - Clear color, but get more for your money and choose one of their 8 sheer colors ... cannot go wrong with smooth lips that are protected by the SPF 15 in the sugar lip treatment.
