Summer Beauty Basics

ahh ppls its getting warmer..how does your beauty routine change or what new products do u use

for me..i wash my face with black opal cleanser instead of basis or cetaphil which i used in the winter

i am really feeling black opal lipstick in bon bon..nice sheer brown shade

also i upgrade my suncreen protection..using oil of olay complete defense in spf 30..i think i will make that a year round thing..spf 15 just don't cut it no more. i find that in summer i break out a little so i am gonna continue to use my neutrogena multivitamin lotion. if u are gonna put any lotion , sunblock etc on your face..please make sure its non comodogenic ( it won't block ur pores)
During summer i also use more coconut oil for a glow..but i want to try a bronzer .Can anyone reccomend any good bronzer for an all over skin glow..

For some reason coconut is not my favourite smell, but the shimmer is great.

I think it's $55 @ Sephora. I used it 1 summer, it does give your skin a nice golden/bronze glow depending on your complexion. however, coconut is not my favorite smell either

i know it's up there, but so it spreads well.

coppertone has a shimmer product too, but it's thicker.
