Makeup at the Beach?

So as I was trying to 'relax' on the beach I thought I would share my favorite beach face routine with you all. I miss getting auper glammy and even my favorite daily makeup but This look is effortless and takes around 2 minutes. These are the products I usually use but sometimes I mix and match :) .. and since I'm on the beach I will have to add the product pictures later!

first start off with a tinted
moisturizer my favorite is Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer $42
This is the best tinted moisturizer I've ever tried. it's lightweight non greasy and has minimal coverage. The best part is it already has SPF in it which is the most important part of this routine.

Since Laura Mercier is on the pricey side you can opt for Too Faced Tanning Bed in a Tube $25
This is supposed to be a gradual sunless tanner but it totally sucks at making you tan. However it is great to put over a sunscreen because it leaves you with a sheer and subtle glow. And the best part is you can put this all over your body to look nice and bronzed and it doesn't rub off onto clothing. But seriously don't forget the sunscreen.

 
Next it's Elf Blush in Pink Passion $3
Gently sweep this hot pink color across your cheek bones and blend down. This will break up the bronze color on your face and make you look more natural.


Take Tarte Lights, Camera, Slashes Mascara $19
This is a great mascara because it's waterproof and volumes and lengthens. remember wiggle at the root so your can create fuller lashes. I almost forgot to mention!!! This is Kourtney Kardashian's favorite mascara for summertime.
Last take Mac Suntints from the Surf Baby Collection in Lint of Lily $15.50
These have SPF 20 so they will protect your lips while leaving a sheer splash of color and mega shine


Enjoy your time at the beach, on the boat, or while lounging poolside. With these tips you'll look like a beach goddess doll <3

New Products I suggest you try: MAC Magically Cool Liquid Powder


MAC Magically Cool Liquid Powder

A silky, feather-light powder, formulated with 70% water, dusts on to the skin as a cooling mist to set and enhance the look of any foundation. Beyond sheer: light-reflecting and translucent. A virtually invisible way to add luminosity and a soft radiant glow to the skin.

This is the most refreshing product for the summer. It literally has a cooling effect and will set your makeup if you have any sweat or shine from the hot humid weather. A beauty product that cools you off PLUS sets your makeup ... sounds perfect to me!!

You can find this product at any MAC store or maccosmetics.com $29.50

Too Faced Endless Summer Beauty Box

I got this set from Sephora for $45 it includes an eyeshadow quad, full size lip gloss, full size mascara, full size bronzer highlighter duo, and a trail size of Tanning Bed in a Tube and Shadow Insurance. Being that these are sold together in a set I am going to review the set as a whole.


Price: 9 out of 10. I paid $45 and it is a $120 value. Because you get full sized products it is worth the price.
Packaging: 10 out of 10. The packaging is perfect. Has a great summer feel to it. The front also opens up from the flap and it gives you step by step directions to copy the look that is pictured.
Pigment:  8 out of 10. Everything except for the Tanning Bed in a Tube has great pigmentation. This "sunless tanner" when applied did not show any difference in color in my skin even when applied the night before. It does work well under makeup however leaving a glow due to the shimmer in the cream.
Lasting? 9 out of 10. My makeup lasted all day and didn't smudge or melt. They also provided the Eyeshadow Insurance which helped keep my shadow in place and didn't crease.
Total: 9 out of 10.
Would I recommend? Yes I would recommend getting this set if you can afford it! The colors are beautiful the pigmentation is great and you can mix and match any of these items into your daily beauty routine. The mascara has become one of my favs!! I am also obssessed with the lipgloss It smells so yummy :)
 
Patiently awaiting summer, Kasi
