HERE'S WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO LATELY

I know I'm not typically a beauty blogger, but there have been some beauty products/tools I've been LOVING lately so I thought I'd take a minute to share some of them with you!

Summer to me, as with most people, means hot days, long nights & cool drinks. I can't wait to spend my days looking pretty and lounging by the pool and my nights partying with friends, but between work and play this summer I'll need a little help looking my best! Here are some awesome products that I'll be keeping on repeat this summer.
  • OGX Nourishing Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum: This stuff is seriously a godsend. I'm on a total coconut binge right now, so pretty much anything with coconut in it is a winner in my book. Not only does this serum smell amazing, but it feels so good lathering it into my hair after a nice shower, and it keeps my hair shiny and silky long after use. When spring and summer come around I pretty much always get the urge to keep my hair straight, so I can use all of the anti-breakage help I can get!
  • Chi Ultra Hair Straightener: Speaking of straightening my hair, my hair is so naturally curly that it is hard to keep it straight for very long. However, that all changed when I finally splurged on this beautiful Ulta-exclusive Chi straightener! It glides smoothly across my hair and leaves it pin straight in a fraction of the time it used to take me, and it is specially made to cause the least damage to your hair as possible. I was lucky enough to walk into Ulta when they had a major sale on this baby, too -- it is normally a $150 straightener, but I got it for only $72 last week PLUS a free tote!
  • Victoria's Secret Hair Leave-In Conditioner: Since my hair is so naturally thick and curly, I only need to wash it every other day. Even still, after sleeping on it for a night I usually need some help styling it on that second day! This leave-in conditioner is the perfect spray for combating early morning fly-aways, and it helps me manage my bedhead in seconds without making it look wet or greasy.
  • Kate Moss for Rimmel London Eyeliner and Lip Stick: As I discussed in my previous post from my #BellaVoxBox, these two items are perfect for everyday wear! They both stay put all day long, and they are perfect for me whether I'm going out or have a dance performance. These two will definitely be in my bag of makeup staples for the near future.
  • CoverGirl CG Smoothers BB Cream: I don't know why I didn't discover BB cream sooner. It basically replaces a million things from my makeup box, all in one easy to use cream! It is an excellent foundation/primer, and it also works to protect your skin from the sun while keeping it smooth and radiant -- and more! Even when I don't have much time to get ready in the mornings, this cream is so easy to use and it looks great even on its own.
  • Bioré Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser: I've had acne problems since I hit puberty, and since my skin is so finicky I often have to switch up my facial cleansing routine to keep it as clear as possible. When I saw this cleanser at the store I decided to give it a go, and I'm so glad I did! It smells amazing, and the whole "Don't be Dirty, clean your face with charcoal" thing really seems to work wonders.
I hope you can all try these products this summer, no matter what your plans are! I highly recommend each and every one of these products since I know they will help carry me from beachy summer days to hot summer nights with ease. Have some products you think I should try out? Let me know in the comments!

I am OBSESSED with that Organix coconut oil spray! I use it religiously. Now, I need to try that VS leave-in conditioner, because i'm always on the hunt for the best leave-in's when summertime rolls around! Thanks for sharing!

Isn't it the best?! So tropically refreshing and great for your hair! And yes, the VS leave-in is a must, and it was pretty cheap too! I added it to my cart on a whim one day in order to qualify for a certain purchase total deal, and It's definitely one of my favorite leave-in conditioners I've used so far.

xoxo,
Lara
