Over the summer I’ve discovered a few new products that I’ve really enjoyed. In the spirit of the Friday Five theme – here are the top five beauty products I’ve enjoyed using this summer!
1 // Softsoap Fresh & Glow Hydrating Shower Cream – One squirt into my loofah is plenty for a good lather, and I feel like the formula truly is hydrating! I have dry, itchy skin all year long and this body wash really helped reduce that problem.
2// Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation – This can be tricky to apply, so I mix a dot of lightweight moisturizer into the foundation before quickly applying it to my face. With the Rimmel Stay Matte powder, it gives great coverage and is so affordable!
3// Dirty Works Coconut Body Butter – I buy this brand at TJ Maxx and love it! This body butter is light enough for summer, but it is still very moisturizing and long lasting.
4// Almay Smart Shade Butter Kiss Lipstick in Nude Light – This is perfect for light makeup days when I need just enough lipstick so my pasty white lips don’t make me look dead. 🙂 I had a $4 coupon from the newspaper that made this lipstick less than $3! (If you like the Revlon Lip Butters and can’t find them anymore, I feel like this is a good dupe)
5// Burts Bees Cleansing Oil with Coconut & Argan Oil – I have a sample size from my Target Beauty Box, but I will repurchase this once my sample is empty. This oil is perfect for removing a full face of heavy makeup – it does an amazing job!
What beauty products have you loved this summer?
Have a wonderful weekend!
Linking up with High Five For Friday, Friday Favorites, and Five on Friday
Here’s what was new on the blog this week!
Come Home For Comfort 
That Rimmel foundation has been on my buy list for a while and since we have similar coloring 🙂 Glad to know you like it! And cleansing oils have been so hit and miss for me… but love Burt’s Bees in general. Need to give that a try too!!

The foundation is still tricky to apply – if you have dry skin, be sure to use a moisturizer and primer underneath it. I can’t get it to apply smoothly otherwise. 🙂

Going to have to check out the Almay, as that sounds like a great product! I love creamy lip products. One of my favorite lip items is Sonia Kashuk Satin Luxe Lip Color in Roseberry, which is only at Target. The color is a bit berry, a bit nude, and it smells a little like vanilla.
I have been loving Dove’s Deep Moisture (blue cap) body wash. It is super moisturizing, and I love how it lathers enough that you can use it instead of a shave gel.
Chapstick’s lime variety has gotten me through summer, too. I love fruity scents/flavors, and they are so fresh in the warm months!

Almay’s lipsticks are definitely creamy – they will melt if they get too hot! 🙂

I love the Almay lipsticks! They are so moisturizing and don’t dry up on my lips.

Same here. The only issue I have with the buttery formula is that it gets melty in the Southern heat! 🙂

I have the Burt’s Bees cleansing oil and haven’t used it yet but that’s because I had no clue how to! Now I know what it’s good for!

I love it! You don’t use water – just put the oil on your hands and work it into your skin. It seems weird at first, but it’s amazing how well it removes makeup!
