Ok exiting Spotify now.
I've seen some blog posts with What I Love Wednesdays and I thought it'd be fun to do a beginning of summer edition! The beginning of summer is always so refreshing. Flowers are still blooming and plants still have that light green tint to them. Morning are cool and days are long. There's so much time until we have to go back to school (for us college students out there!) and potential to make it an unforgettable summer.
The beginning of summer is like the New Year's (fraternal) twin sister. Its the beginning of a new season and a new you! Maybe its just an excuse to have a second chance at my resolutions, but I feel like its a clean slate.
So for the beginning of the summer, here's some new products I've been loving:
I stated drinking this the last few weeks of school when things got really stressful. My roommate has always made it and I decided to try it one night and absolutely loved it. This tea is so calming and I just love anything vanilla. Naturally caffeine-free, its a great before-bed drink. When I make it at night, I know its time to start wrapping the day up and mentally prepare myself for bed. I found that I fall asleep much faster and more peacefully, something that really helped during a crazy week of finals! And if nothing else, the bags look super cool, I think they look like little pyramidal holograms :)
Another roommate find... I came back to the apartment one day and thought I had just walked into a beach heaven. This candle is seriously the essence of summer. I have the three wick candle and it seriously lasts forever. Plus B&BW has periodic sales that have this candle for half off! Definitely stock up when these happen.
Y'all I love this stuff. First of all, I've never smelled makeup that smells good, but this smells amazing. It just smells like it was made for summer. It has a great coverage for the summertime. It brightens and evens your skin as well as providing just a little bit of coverage, perfect to put on right before a beach or pool day. I also think its a great dupe to the BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Cream. I used that all last summer and I feel like so far the Garnier BB cream works just as well, and for 1/3 of the price! I use the shade "light/medium" / "normal to dry skin".
I love a cool gray in the summer. It complements a tan nicely and its neutral tone goes well with any outfit. Its a color I always go for if I'm getting my nails done and I want to keep one color on for a while.
This is another amazing product and that is so affordable. The original product is Jergens brand, but I picked this up one time at Target when they were out of Jergens and found the generic brand works just as well. Its also a few dollars cheaper (yay!). I usually use this at the beginning of the summer season or spring break before I get a base tan. Its a great alternative to the tanning beds and lasts a pretty long time. I use it 3 nights in a row after a shower and then I'll use it here and there to keep the tan up. It gives you a nice even color without the orange. The only things you have to keep in mind is to make sure to rub it in evenly on hard to reach places like your back and to wash your hands after. I use the shade "medium to dark" to get a deeper tan!
What are some products you're loving right now?
