My Summer must Have's


 

Summer is almost over it's almost Fall. 

My kids will be going 
back to school soon and Logan heads to college in Arizona.   
  I'm happy for him, but he isn't going to be around to hug when Lupus is not playing fair.

I have to say I am a proud Mom and my kids are amazing. I love them all and I know he will do great things.


This post isn't about them so let's get back on the subject at hand. This post is about my Summer Must Have's -This is a list of all my favorite Products used in summer. 




*Some of this post is for a #contest entry but all opinions are mine, no products were bought to participate. These are what I truly use.




 The first thing I think of is a great sunscreen, mosquito repellant, Hat, sunglasses, and Body wash.

I have a great sunscreen My Dermalogica Solar Defense Booster SPF 50 works for me. With Lupus, my skin is very sensitive so sunscreen is a must. 
Off Mosquito Repellant is a must for my kids,



 I haven't really ventured out at night too much but when I do this is what I grab. 




Body washes are used a bit more in summer, I feel, because of all the pool time, sunscreen, and bug spray we use.

My favorite has been reformulated and I don't like it.
So I have been reaching for  The Olay brand of washes. The smells they have are heavenly and leave me feeling moisturized all day.



Currently, my favorite is the Coconut Oasis.




 I probably use way too much, but I just can't get enough of that on the beach in Hawaii smell. 

 
For hats and my sunglasses, I like the golf hats from Walmart They are lite weight and let your head breathe.
My Sunglasses are just a black oversized pair that has my prescription within them.



Another Summer must have- would be a great lightweight foundation, maybe not even that, let's go with a BB Cream.

 I have been using my Lumene Bright Now Vitamin-C cream in SPF 20 again.



This is just the right amount of coverage I need and it stay's put through all the sweating on those hot days. I love how my skin feels after I wash off my makeup It's a healthy glow and  I do see it brightening my dull skin. 



For my eye's I have been keeping it pretty easy. The palette I find myself reaching for is the Urban Decay Ultimate Basics 

This palette has every shadow I would need for a day look to a night out with my husband and these bad boys last all day until I take them off.
Another one that is easy peasy is the #Morphe The Little Palette by Elana Gant in the shade Coca Mocha 
For Bronzer  It can switch up from Day to Day but the 2 I find myself reaching for are my Physician Formula Butter Bronzer in light
I find myself also reaching for 
My @EssenceMakeup contour and powder In light.
 I don't contour that much so this is perfect for a bronze glow on me.

For Mascara, my tried and true is my Essence Lash Princess (False lash effect) 

and the Covergirl Clump Crusher in water 

resistant.

These are my -Go Twos- nowadays.



That does remind me that I need to pick up my Almay Favorite when I am done with these. 

           Get up & Grow In waterproof.

For my brows, I use  Makeup Revolution Pomade in Blonde

 along with my EssenceMakeup Make me brow in 03




 I need to pick it up in a softer shade.




My highlighter is again from EssenceMakeup #10 be my highlight.


It gives a subtle glow but you can build it up for a more intense look.
My blush Favorites are The Essence silky touch in the shades #10 adorable 



  #20 Babydoll.

I also recently picked up my b-day gift from Sephora and have been enjoying the blush Paaarty- from Tarte amazonian clay line.
My lip look is a few different ones. The first one is a nude look using my products from EssenceMakeup 



Lip liner in 05 Lovely Frappuccino 

Lip 02 Cute Nude
Gloss 19 Nude candy or



 Buxom White Russian 

For a Matte Liquid Lip, It's the Liquid Catsuits 
          Yes I own the whole Collection. 
The last would be setting spray and I will jump from Urban Decay Chill 
and Makeup Revolution Pro Fix.

Skin care is always a must for me and hasn't changed it's still Dermalogica brand products with a few samples of others at times.

Well, that is my Summer Must Have's. What are Yours? 


Thank You for taking the time to read.

As always Stay Strong and Keep Fighting

Lupus thoughts and Ramblings June 25th

Hey there.  I hope you are staying safe and sane in this crazy world.  It's a lot to stomach for anyone. I can't go crazy.  I already am!        Serious question? When do you tell your family that their joking around has become hurtful?  It's to the point where I feel like I am in high school again, trying to compete for their love and attention. I am 45 yrs old and feel like I am treated like a child at times. I am told that I am too sensitive and that I take things out of context, that I should just take it, and know they are playing.  Every night it's a roast the hell outta mom till she cries or locks herself in the bathroom so no one would see.  it's not like anyone would care to be honest.  I could cry for hours and no one would even flinch.  When did I become invisible, and so small that it doesn't matter if I am even around?  I am ignored when I am trying to be a mother, I am ignored when I try to let people know ho...

Let's talk showers

  Let's talk showers  No, not the kind that falls from the sky when it rains. No, not meteors, but regular showers people take to keep clean. A regular person is in the shower up to 5-10 mins maybe 15 at the most. Well for someone with Lupus, MS and Fibromyalgia it's so much longer. For instance, it took me almost an hour to shower the other day. Why is this you ask? Well, I can barely stand on my own, and do things like lift my hands to shampoo my hair without being so exhausted I have to sit down.  So it begins, the clock ticking away. *10 mins gone * sitting down. Once I finally can I stand back up and commence the ritual of the shower  but wait, after *10 more mins* I need to take a breath before I pass out (literally) it takes sitting down and breathing slowly to make it not feel like my heart is going to leap out of my chest.  I look at my handy dandy Fossil smartwatch and it says my BPM is 140 which I believe.  I try to slow down my breathing, a...

ESSENCE MAKEUP REVIEW

Makeup can be high end and really expensive or drugstore and very budget friendly.  Just because a drugstore brand is budget friendly doesn't mean it is bad quality. Right? Recently while perusing my local Ulta store with Jayedyn                      (on the hunt for a blue eye liner )  after looking at all the different brands from Urban Decay, Ulta , Nyx etc. and coming up empty and disappointed we were ready to walk away when i suggested one more look . Tucked away on an end cap of the isle was a small product line. I had never even looked at this brand before but sitting on the shelf was the perfect blue shade of eyeliner that Jayedyn was searching for & on a 15 yr old girls budget too. I started to take a closer look at some of the products . The nail polish is what  drew me in, the colors were so pretty, it also looked like there were a few dupes for some high end products as well. I ended ...
