Summer Beauty Essentials

What better way to start off the month of June than a shopping spree for summer essentials? About a week ago I made a trip to Toronto's Eaton Center and I'd say it was a pretty productive shopping day. Here are a few of the beauty purchases I made:


  • Color Lip Last in Wanted Red by Sephora Collection
  • Ultra Sheer Face Sunscreen - SPF 45 by Neutrogena
  • Natural Bronzer in 021 Sunlight by Rimmel
  • Gold & Jade Ring by Forever 21

What I Have to Say About These Products...

 

Wanted Red Colour Lip Last by Sephora

I've been looking for a right lipstick for quite some time now and I've finally found a perfect red shade. This lipstick acts like a lip stain in the sense that it doesn't come off easily. This is definitely a plus because you don't have to keep reapplying it or worrying about it smudging off! 

Ultra Sheer Face Sunscreen SPF 45 by Neutrogena

Super light and quick-absorbing! It applies easily and smoothly, almost as if it was a daily moisturizer. It's oil-free and non-comedogenic, meaning it doesn't clog pores. It's also got a light sunscreen scent that isn't overpowering, as I find some have too much of a smell to it.

Natural Bronzer in 021 Sunlight by Rimmel

I've only used this product once since buying it and it wasn't as pigmented as I'd thought it to be. Maybe I should've chosen a darker shade or maybe the brush I used didn't grip the product enough... I'll have to further explore with this bronzer because it's namely "Canada's #1 Bronzer" and I'm always hearing about how good it is!

Gold & Jade Ring by Forever 21

What first caught my eye was the colour of the green Jade. I thought it was a nice pop of colour yet subtle at the same time. I also found this ring with a lighter pink Jade but after much contemplating, I decided to go with the green.

Bring on the sunshine!
Sincerely,
Lily xx
