Life has been really busy this past month and I didn't have much time to complicate my skincare routine so I opted for those true and trusted products that deliver good hydration, but are not too much for the heat we've been having. This is a milky lotion with four different types of hyaluronic acid. It's so lightweight, yet it definitely hydrated and moisturizes. No scent.

Hada Labo Absolute Smoothing & Moisturizing Cream Day & Night 

My favorite moisturizer, because it's so lightweight, gel/cream type that is so smooth, applies like a dream, is lightweight, yet leaves that nice moisturizing layer on the skin that has the perfect grip to be used as a primer under makeup. I am on my last few scoops and am sort of trying to save it as much as I can, because it's just perfect for summer. I also love that this one has no scent, so it doesn't irritate my eczema hands when I apply it. These Hada Labo products are definitely some of the best you can get in our drugstore.

OOTD Beauty Dark Circle Eye Serum

I would usually just skip eye cream in the summer months, but this gel type is so lightweight that I can use it without it feeling heavy or clogging my pores and creating little milia around the eyes. It contains vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid along with some nice hydrating and brightening ingredients. The pump packaging is just perfect for dosing really small amount. 

Look by Bipa Delicate Compact Bronzer - 020 sunny beach

I have had this bronzer for a while and I recently just posted a full review of it, because I like it so much. It was a blind cheap drugstore buy, but it's now one of my favorite bronzer shades. It has a bit of that grey undertone that can almost pass as a contour. It really is the best color for something that is bronzing, yet can give you definition of a contour. I just apply this and get the best of both - definition and some color. They've sinced changed the packaging. It also has super smooth formula that is easy to blend and lasts pretty well. 

Essence Juicy Bomb Lip Oil - 020 Strawberry Star

I love the formula of this. It's very soothing, nourishing and has that grip to it that gives you great shine and sticks to the lips. There is a hint of pinkish red tint to it that is barely noticeable on the lips. I usually just use some lip liner and the put this all over. But what makes this so nice, is the tiny tube packaging that you can take with you and stick it everywhere - in the pocket, small bag, just anywhere. I have been guilty of putting it in small spaces and then wasn't able to find it. It's just super convenient on the go. However, it won't last you a long time. 

Trend It Up DM Clean & Precise Kajal - 301

Trend It Up is a house brand of german drugstore DM and they have some very affordable and good makeup that I haven't explored much in the past, but I was intrigued by it while browsing through the store. Most eye pencils these days are all very long lasting and waterproof, which also means they set fast and you can't really blend them, It's harder to find traditional smudgy kajals and this one is just that. 301 is dark chocolate brown that is that traditional pencil, but with good creaminess to it. You have a lot of play time to smudge. I usually just do a quick line around my lash line and then use small pencil brush to smudge it and wing it out. It gives me much softer definition around the lash line and just enough shadow to make my eyes appear bigger.

Vita Liberata Beauty Blur Face - Medium

I have Medium shade in the Body Butter Blur Face version as well, but I have found this one to be more useful for my brides this month. It's a tad creamier and lighter in color than Medium in the body version. This is basically body makeup and this one is their version for the face. I used it on my pale brides, because it's light enough. It gives you a hint of color that can cover some minor imperfection of the skin, but then it also has a tiny bit of pearl that gives your skin that very natural sheen. Nothing like a proper beaming highlighter, just very subtle, but enough to make a difference. I wouldn't say it's completely transfer proof, so I always just use my waterproof setting sprays to lock it in.

Yves Rocher Malaysian Coconut Eau de Toilette

This is my summer scent every year. I usually combine it with Victoria's Secret Coconut Passion. I'm not even sure Yves Rocher still sells this, because I could only find it on Ebay. It's the best sort of milky creamy coconut scent that won't give you that artificial or too sickly sweet coconut scent. It just smells like tropical holiday to me and you can definitely combine it with other tropical scents to boost up coconuttiness of it. 

Pureology Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray

I have been using my Joico K-Pak Leave-In treatment for a lot of years. I decided to change it up and this spray from Pureology kept popping up everywhere. I love that it's also heat protectant, because I usually used leave-in spray first and then I had to add some sort of heat protect products on top, because I always blow dry my hair. This is the multitasker with 21 essential benefits. It's moisturizing, heat protecting, strengthening, repairing, smoothing, adds shine and is meant for colored hair. It also has vegan formula. It's basically a liquid milky product that you spray on after you've washed your hair. I find that it does a good job of detangling my hair, it keeps it nourished, smooth and well moisturized. I prefer the fragrance of Joico, because it smells more salon-like luxurious. This one has what they describe as fresh and floral scent with a hint of spice. It's nice, it just doesn't scream hair salon to me.
