New Make-Up Favorites for Spring & Summer

I’m not one for much change. My make-up favorites have been my favorites for years. After, in some cases, eight years of the same product, three pregnancies, hormone changes, and just aging skin, I started to wonder if there would be other products that I liked even more than my standby favorites. A good refresh is needed every now and again…

Here are some of the products I’ve found and am loving lately…

I bought two new foundations to try, and I equally loved both for different reasons.

The IT Cosmetics CC Cream is…as you’d guess…creamy. I can see myself using it a lot in the summer when I want some coverage, but don’t want it to be very heavy. With a side of dewy to go with our Kansas humidity. It was easy to blend with a sponge or brush. I got it in the color “Medium,” and if you’re wanting to try it, it’s going to be half off this Saturday as part of Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty. Or if you’re more of a Sephora girl, like myself, they will actually price match it.

It’s regularly $44, but is going to be on sale for $22. That’s a steal, IMO.

It was love at first application with Tom Ford’s Traceless Foundation stick.

It’s more of a Matte finish, but I’ve never had a foundation blend so well and be so buildable. I’m wearing the color Cool Beige.

I have a feeling this is going to be the foundation I reach for for many, many, many years to come.

I also tried, and loved, the Tarte Fake Awake eyeliner. I used it across my lower lash line in both of those pictures above, and it’s the perfect nude color that gives your eyes that filter-enviable brightness. I love that it’s not white, so it isn’t quite as stark. And for a mom who’s about to be getting a lot less sleep, seems more than necessary to fake a less tired look.

The Isle of Paradise self-tanning face drops are also a huge winner. I drop about 4-5 drops in with my nighttime moisture two times a week, and it’s the perfect amount of glow without the fake tan smell or streaks. It’s so good and so easy.

This lip stain from Fenty is also going to be on repeat this summer. It looks super bright in this picture, but fades to a super pretty stain like you’ve just finished eating a big bowl of berries. Perfect for summer, without the full blown stickiness of so many lipglosses or dryness of lipstick. I can see myself swiping it on in the morning to go to one of Harrison’s soccer games or an impromptu afternoon happy hour. I got the color Mai Type.

Those are the products that I got and am already in love with so far! Ok, now tell me, have you gotten any new make-up products lately that you’re obsessed with and I need to try? I’m on a “it’s time to get some new make-up” kick!
