Josie Maran Bronzing Argan Oil

I love this bronzing oil as it not only moisturizes the skin, but it gives a gorgeous bronze shimmery glow.   I wouldn’t recommend putting this on the face though as it may break you out (I’m overly paranoid as I break out easily…), but for the body, this is great!  You can even put in your hair if it gets dry after your dip in the pool ;)

My only complaint is the price- $54.  ouch!

Price: $54

Stila Smudgestick Waterproof Eyeliner

This is my current favorite eyeliner- the color is gorgeous, it glides easily, and it stays put all day.  This peacock color makes my brown eyes pop!   I don’t have any complaints about it- yes the price is a bit steep, but for an eyeliner that stays put all day, it’s worth it to me.

Price: $20

Makeup For Ever Aqua Liner

I love these liquid liners as they come in such gorgeous colors and stay put all day- rain or shine ;)  The felt tip is amazing- it applies in a precise line and puts on just the right amount of product.  They come in 16 different colors ranging from gold to purple to even white. My absolute favorite color is #7 which is a beautiful dark blue-purple.

My only complaint is the price- at $23, I would think there would be more product.  Most drugstore liquid liners run around $6, but they don’t come in so many colors and aren’t as pigmented.  I’d definitely buy a few more of these MUFE ones!

Price: $23

Yves Saint Laurent Waterproof Cream Eye Shadow


These mousse like eyeshadows are amazing and so unique!  They apply super easily and really do stay on well.  These are perfect for those days when you’re rushed or don’t feel like wearing much eyeshadow- just one swipe of color, and you’re set to go. My favorite color is “Riviera Blue”- which is a gorgeous medium blue color, and “Pink Sands” would be perfect for everyday wear.

My only complaints are I wish they came in more colors, and again- the price…  I don’t feel they are worth $30, but I guess that’s what to expect from a brand like YSL.

Price: $30

Revlon “Just Bitten” Lipstain

If you’re looking for a lip product that lasts all day and is super easy to apply, then lipstains is the way to go.  I love these Revlon ones as they’re cheap, work well, and come in plenty of gorgeous colors.  My favorite is “passion” which is a beautiful medium pink color that looks great on everyone.   One end of the tube has the lipstain, and the other has a lip balm.

My only complaint with these is the lip balm falls out easily.  I love the colors and the price is great.

Price: $7.99

Palladio Tinted Lip Balm

With the summer heat now here, it’s great to have a product that not only moisturizes the lips but gives a beautiful color.  My favorite is the orange one as it’s most unique :)  These really do moisturize well, come in beautiful colors, and are cheap!

My only complaint:  I wish there were more colors.

Price: $3.89

Elta MD UV Shield  SPF

If you plan on being outside this summer, it’s super important to protect your face from sun damage and extra wrinkles!  I love this SPF as it doesn’t break me out, doesn’t get oily, and doesn’t smell funky.  I apply this after my moisturizer and under my foundation to make extra sure that no sun rays harm my skin.

I have no true complaints on this other than the steep price- I bought mine from my dermatologist for the full retail (I learned my lesson not to do that again), but I found it cheaper on Amazon…

Price: $28-61 (depending on where you buy and the size)

L’Oreal Voluminous Waterproof Mascara

Now you all probably know by now that Loreal’s Voluminous mascara is my all time favorite.  I love how well it thickens, how intense the color is, and how easy it is to apply with this wand.  I won’t walk out the door without applying a little mascara, and this one is perfect for the beach as it is waterproof!

No complaints at all on this one…

Price: $6

LORAC 3D Liquid Lustre

This is probably the most unique makeup product I’ve come across in awhile- a liquid glitter that doesn’t get chunky and really does last all day.  I love how this gives a sheer shimmer to the lids- I apply with my finger just to my lids, apply some mascara and lipgloss, and I’m set for the day!

Since this is fairly shimmery, you have to apply sparingly.   No other complaints besides that!

Price: $16

Tarte Clay Waterproof Brow Mousse

Now I realize you’re probably thinking “Why do I need brow mousse for the beach??”  You probably don’t, but some of us have sparse or very light brows and want to fill them in before heading out the door- to work or to the beach.  This brow mousse stays on really well and looks so natural!  I love how easy it applies and how creamy it feels.  It is probably the most natural looking way to get brows.

My only complaint here is it’s hard to find (I’m hoping Tarte starts selling this at Sephora soon).

Price: $28
