Beat The Heat



As June quickly approaches, I’ve started to revamp my beauty routine and incorporate the products that will protect my skin from the sun + help my makeup stay put, in spite of the heat.  Some of these are new discoveries and some are old stand-bys, but all are items I have been impressed with & now swear by.  Here are my top 10 picks for looking flawless even when it’s sweltering:



1) CeraVe Face Lotion Sunscreen SPF50 – The brand I’m loyal to + oil-free sun protection to prevent breakouts

2) Almay Smart Shade CC Cream – Just the right amount of coverage with SPF35
3) Sephora Mattifying Blotting Papers – Perfect for stashing in your purse to reduce shine on-the-go
4) Josie Maran Coconut Waterproof Cheek Gelée – Coconut water-infused cheek stain that lasts up to 14 hours
5) NYX ‘Dewy Finish’ Makeup Setting Spray – Apply after makeup to help it stay-put in the heat & humidity
6) L’Oreal Sublime Sun Sunscreen Oil SPF50 – So lightweight you’ll think you forgot to apply it
7) L’Oreal Voluminous Waterproof Mascara – My favorite mascara in a waterproof formula
8) Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs – Helps cover veins, bruises, scars & gives legs an airbrushed look
9) Makeup Forever Aqua Rouge – The benefits of a lip stain & gloss combined into one long-lasting product
10) CARGO Water Resistant Bronzer – A flattering bronzer that won’t smudge or smear when temperatures rise

    You're an inspiration and wealth of information. Your always evolving style is classic, chic, and flirty with just the right amount of bling. Your outfits are all fabulous. AND AMAZING – you are NOT the stick-thin size 0 adolescent boy's shape . LOVE that you have a fabulous actual woman's body – a born beauty – and a mommy – congrats! You appear as such a grounded person. Thank you for sharing some of yourself with your readers. Your suggestions are both helpful and budget friendly (my husband thanks you lol). Lots of suggestions have turned old clothing into new outfits. So cheers to you, your creativeness and your motivational blog.

      I agree 100% with Rebecca. Well said! Kim- you are indeed an inspiration and we all love you for making our lives a little more fun! Love your tutorials and would really like to hear how you would apply all these wonderful products on a given day. I mean, I don't suppose you use all of them at once, right? Thanks so so much in advance!!

    I don't use sunscreen. Isn't that terrible? I just hate the way it feels on my face and smells. I just use a moisturizer with protection and hope for the best…

    I use the Cargo blush and it is unbelievable! I put it on in the morning and it stays put ALL day- even after the gym and during my co-ed league softball games.

    Awesome picks! That Makeup Forever lip gloss looks awesome! I'm already a fan of their cream eyeshadow.

  19. Meredith says

    May 30, 2013 at 4:00 pm

    Do you use the CeraVe on top of a daily moisturizer?

  20. PennyPincherFashion says

    May 30, 2013 at 4:05 pm

    Hi Meredith,

    Since my skin can get slightly oily in the summer, I use this Cerave face lotion in place of my usual Cerave moisturizer. But if your skin is normal to dry, you could use it on top of it too.

    xo,
    Kimberly

    Seriously have like 3 bottles of the airbrush by Sally Hansen!! Love that stuff.

    Thank you so much Lily! In terms of process, after I wash my face, I apply the CeraVe sunscreen lotion, then the Almay CC Cream followed by a little translucent powder on my t-zone & a dusting of bronzer and then I use the Dewy Finish setting spray. I will only apply the L'Oreal sunscreen if I know I'm going to be out in the sun lot during the day & I use the Sally Hansen airbrush spray when I'm wearing shorts or skirts. Hope that helps!

    xo,
    Kimberly

    Hi Brianna,

    I actually use Dove Sensitive Skin bar soap to wash my face. My dermatologist switched me over to using it about 3 years ago and I've never looked back. It is amazing!
