Summer Stuff That I Like

Sooo who hasn't blogged in three months??? Oh yeah...me. I have so much that I want to blog about in the future, and will probably be doing random posts about stuff from maybe four or five months ago. But to start, I have some summer items that I have gotten that I really like.



So the first thing I got is Cover Girl's Water Resistant Clump Crusher by Lash Blast in the color black brown. Because I just graduated high school, I have been going to a lot of graduation parties and cookouts in general because it summer!!!!  I have been outside and dancing a lot, and sweating because of the dancing. This mascara doesn't sweat off which happened with an old one I was using. It also withstands my bad habit of rubbing my eyes whenever I have on make up. The color looks a lot more soft and natural than just plain black so I feel like it's good for a casual, natural, look. It lives up to it's name too, it doesn't clump at all which is good because I hate clumps. 


 This one has to be my favorite. It's Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm. I actually like it better than the normal Burt's Bees because it's not as waxy and feels more moisturizing. It also adds a hint of color to lips that look dry, which I like as well. It livens them up a bit. I cannot go anywhere without it and I recently ran out of my "Hibiscus" Tinted one, which lasted for about four months. I immediately replaced with the color "Red Dhalia" which is a deeper reddish pink and I like it just as much. It's a good alternative to the Sugar Tinted Lip Balms by Fresh which I really liked, they were just so expensive. Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm has a similar formula, more color variety, similar color saturation, and  much lower prices. The color isn't very saturated, which I like for just throwing it on whenever I want because I don't have to worry about how it looks.  It can also be worn with lip sticks and stains for a really nice touch. I use the packaging to store bobbi pins for dance.



 I got these shoes from a store called Francesca's Collections, which is like a boutique style clothing and accessory store. They are really cute and are from the brand Sweet Life, by Dolce Vita. I believe they were around 40 dollars, but I got a discount. I wear them all the time, they are comfy, and can be dressed down as well as dressed up. I like the nautical themed stripes but they also had a pair in a nude color with the tan leather. They also have a small heel, so they are not completely flat which I think adds to their comfort.

These earrings are also from Francesca's. Each time I go into that store I want ALL if their accessories. They are reasonably priced and everything is exactly my style. They are a coraly-orange color with a gold frame, which I think is nice for summer. I have a lot of blues, and oranges in my summer wardrobe and I think the look nice with those colors. 


The last item I got because I need new nail polish. Also I watch Girl Code on MTV(so hilarious), and they mentioned it in a little short that they did. It's Essie Nail Polish in the color Ballet Slippers. I also do ballet so the name kind of attracted me. It's a very light pink, in some light it looks white. I thought it was bright enough for summer, but could also be worn year round. It is really nice quality and only took me two coats until it was completely opaque. Normally, with these light shades I find it they are always so transparent. I really like Essie Nail Polishes, this is the first one I've tried *Gasp* I hope to add more oranges, blues, pinks, and corals for summer because I just really like to wear those colors in the summer. I feel like I keep mentioning that...

Do you have and favorite colors to wear in the summer? What are they?
