Drugstore Summer products I love!

Hey guys! I'm back with a another blog post. Summer is officially here in Houston and I'm not a big fan of this humidity. I guess, that's houston for me lol 

I am all about dramatic arabic makeup but I keep it natural with neutral colors with less foundation to prevent my skin to melt. So ladies, ditch the heavy makeup instead go for a light summery makeup look. Therefore, I decided to make this blog post about my favorite drugstore products I love for the summer on a budget. 

Olay Complete Defense Daily UV Moisturizer SPF 30, Sensitive Skin

                                            

I recently changed moisturizers. My skin is really sensitive and my skin gets super bad in the summer. I went for Olay Moisturizer with SPF 30. I love this moisturizer! I couldn't live without it. It feels good to put on and it doesn't smell bad. 

• Fragrance-free moisturizer with SPF 30 helps prevent sun damage by protecting against 97% of the sun's burning rays
• Gently conditions your skins surface with aloe, Vitamin E, B3 & pro-vitamin B5
• Provides extra UV protection for healthy and younger-looking skin
• Non-comedogenic formula is light, non-greasy, absorbs quickly and is dermatologically tested for a barely-there feel
• One 6.0 fl. oz. bottle

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream $9.99

this heat is no joke! Foundation tend to melt and look cakey from all the sweat. I don't have time to keep reapplying. This product works wonders and I don't even need foundation. Love it!

Revlon Smoothing Beyond Natural Primer – $10.97

                                     

this Revlon foundation primer is another great drugstore substitute for the Smashbox Photo Finish primer. If you’re worried that the Rimmel primer may look too orange on your skin, then I highly recommend this Revlon primer. Like the Smashbox formula, it is transparent so it will blend in perfectly with any skin tone.

Rimmel London Natural Bronzer in Sun Dance – $5.49

   

                                   

I was a bit skeptical at first to try this bronze, I'm already tan skinned and I was afraid it would look too orange on my skin. I'm glad I bought it. It is the best drugstore bronze out there. To my delight, the pigmentation was amazing and it gave me that perfect sun-kissed glow.It’s a great drugstore bronzer and the quality is amazing. You would think for such a cheap bronzer it would turn out orange, but instead it will give you glowing skin without the hefty price tag.

Clinique Perfect Real Compact Makeup $26.00 

I have been using Clinique compact makeup powder for years and I wouldn't change it for the world. I love this one! I have oily skin, this one really controls oil so this is great for the summer. 

• Silky, oil-free formula looks like your skin-only better. 
• Optimizes skin's varying tones to create a more even appearance. 
• Buildable coverage lasts for hours, yet feels like nothing at all. Controls shine. 
• In a ready-to-go, ready-to-perfect compact. 
• Oil-free.

L'Oreal - Voluminous False Fiber Lashes- Blackest Black $8.99

 This summer is all about volumized eyelashes. I have tried many different mascaras. I have big eyelashes so I love big, volumized, dramatic eyelashes that make my eyes pop. This mascara is exactly that. I can't live without this mascara. This mascara is made for sensitive eyes. I love it! 

• Voluminous False Fiber Lashes™ Mascara with a sculpting fiber formula that adheres to lashes for a volumized, sculpted lash effect. 
• Lashes appear fuller, longer, sculpted and curled at every angle. 
• Clump-free. 
• Flake-free. 
• Smudge-free. 
• Frangance-free. 
• Ophthalmologist-tested and allergy-tested. 
• Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

Infallible^® Lacquer Liner 24H $9.95

I prefer this gel liner from L'Oreal instead of Maybelline. It stays on all day and doesn't smudge. I don't have re-apply every few hours. Maybelline gel liner is flaky and smudges a lot. I still like the Maybelline liner. I prefer this one instead. 

• High-shine lacquer finish
• Smooth application
• Lasts 24 hours

Naked Palette Urban Decay $54.00

                                   

Honestly, I've never been a fan of drugstore eyeshadow, They are just not pigmented and don't last all day even with a primer. I prefer Naked Palette from Urban Decay. 

this long, lean, and seductive case comes packed with 12 gorgeous neutrals that work for absolutely everyone. Shades range from delicate champagne to gritty gunmetal, and feature five stunning new shades. A variety of textures, including glitter, shimmer, and matte, ensure that you'll never get bored. This versatile palette can go from office appropriate to a night on the town. The mirrored case also features a new professional-quality, cruelty-free Good Karma Eyeshadow Brush, and comes with four free Eyeshadow Primer Potion sample packettes. 


There are other plenty drugstore products I absolutely love but I will add them in next posts. These are my recommendation. this review is my honest opinion, there may be products that work for me, it doesn't necessarily have to work for you. For the summer, I stay away from extra makeup, It makes my skin cakey in this heat and I breakout alot in the summer. Less is better. I keep it natural and I love that bronzy tan look in the summer. 

I'm ending my post with a work selfie!
