Makeup and skincare products to add a glow to your look

These are so hydrating and they leave behind a dewy glow. They also smell like watermelon which I love. You only need to use a small amount so the bottle lasts me for a while. This can be worn on its own or under makeup

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops

This powder is like a blush and highlighter in one. It gives you color while adding a glow to your face. The texture of this powder is buttery soft. My favorite shade is Happy

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush

This highlighter is like diamond powder and I love it. It also has a really nice texture to it and blends in really well. When it gets hit with direct light it’s gorgeous! My favorite shade is enlighten

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter

I'm obsessed with Jeffree Star Highlighters because they're basically just pressed diamond dust. They reflect light like glass.

Skin Frost

This is one of the OG bronzers that I have always loved. I try new bronzers often and I always find myself coming back to this one. It adds warmth to the face and blends like a dream.

NARS Laguna Bronzing Powder

I love this blush. The pictures make it look really pink but I find it to be buildable - just apply a little at a time.

DIOR blush with pH-activated color | DIOR US

I keep this with me all the time as a daily lip balm. It smells so good and feels like butter on my lips. It comes in a lot of scents and some different shades so there is something for everyone.

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm, Vanilla

I really like this mascara and I find it holds up well to water as long as you don’t rub the product while it’s wet.

Tarte lights, camera, splashes™ waterproof mascara

This is one of the only drugstore brands I use but I haven’t found anything I like better or that I think it worth the higher price point. This mascara stays on through everything. Note: if it gets wet while wearing, allow it to air dry - do not ru...

Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Waterproof Mascara

For Your Body

Products to keep you feeling clean, dry and glowing all summer long

These wipes are great for those really hot days when your antiperspirant needs some help - these wipes leave you feeling clean and they contain an antiperspirant so they help reduce sweat. They're gynecologist approved for use anywhere and they're flushable!

Acidified Deodorant Wipes

I really love the all the Carpe products I've tried - these antiperspirants have the consistency of a lotion - just rub it into your underarms and go. They have a lot of good scents, it's hard for me to pick a favorite

Carpe Antiperspirant

I have fair skin and I use this to give my legs a bit of a golden glow in the summer. This is the perfect product to add shimmer and a slight golden tone to your skin for the summer (or whenever you want some extra sparkle)

Shimmering Gold Oil

Perfumes and fragrances

My favorite summer scents

This is my favorite perfume at the moment and they have created a version with extra sparkle. The YSL Black Opium Glitter features the black opium scent you know and love but it leaves a glitter finish behind.

YSL Black Opium Eau de Parfum - Glitter Version

Hair care

These are the best products for caring for and styling your beach hair

I love this stuff for summer or a beach vacation - usually I have to blow dry my hair to give it any kind of texture but this air dry cream gives my hair the texture I want with no heat

Briogeo Yuzu + Plum Oil Soft Power Air Dry Cream

This is the detangler I keep in my beach bag. It smells great and works amazing on knotty beach hair. Tip: I think kids detanglers work better in general.

Suave Silly Apple Detangler Spray

This texture spray gives me really pretty beach waves and it smells like summer.

IGK Beach Club Volumizing Texture Spray

Paul Mitchell Kids Taming spray is a good salon brand option for a beach detangler. For more difficult knots, I spray a lot of this on the knot and allow it to sit for a few minutes before trying to comb out the knot. I prefer kids detanglers becaus...

Kids Taming Spray | Paul Mitchell | JPMS

I prefer kids detanglers because they are often formulated for the types of gnarly knots kids sometimes get so I find they work better. Summer activities can often leave your hair feeling tangled. I bring this to the beach with me and spray it in m...

My favorite nail polishes that shine in sunlight and last a long time

Mooncat polishes are UNREAL. The holographic shades, when put under direct sunlight, sparkle like nothing I have ever seen before. The formula is long lasting too so you can enjoy a chip-free manicure for your whole vacation.
