Summer can make it a hassle to keep makeup looking fresh and long-lasting. Here's some products I've really been liking this season to help deal with humidity, sun exposure, etc:
1) Suave Dry Shampoo
I actually swear by this dry shampoo all-year-round, but it's especially perfect to refresh oily/dirty hair after a day by the pool or when I'm just feeling lazy--which is most of the time. The shampoo does leave a white residue, but I have no trouble with it after blending it out well! Extra pluses: it's SUPER inexpensive and smells amazing.
2) Triangl Milly Bikini in Candy Pink
I usually only pick out one or two swimsuits each summer that I really love. This year it was this neoprene bikini from Triangl. The coolest thing about it is the thick wetsuit-type material that keeps the suit from moving around. To take care of the material, you do have to make sure to rinse the suit in cold water after use. Warning: Triangl is an international brand (I think my suit shipped from somewhere in Asia?), so if you are considering ordering one: do it early!
3) Too Faced Primed and Poreless Pressed Powder/NYX Finishing Powder
This pressed powder is great for soaking up any excess oil that might come up throughout a hot day. It's translucent and I like to just throw it in my purse for any necessary touch-ups I might need later on! Don't want to pay the $30? I also like NYX's HD Studio Photogenic Finishing Powder--as long as you don't mind that it's a loose powder. I like the Too Faced one more for travel, but both work well.

4) Hawiian Tropic Silk Hydration Sunscreen (for Face)
I'm always worried about regular body sunscreen clogging my pores, so this moisturizer + sunscreen by Hawiian Tropic was a good solution! It smells amazing, makes my face feel super soft, and is 30 SPF. ("But Libby, you're so tan. Do you really wear sunscreen on your face?" Believe it or not: yes. Religiously.) Make sure to reapply this after around 80 minutes in the sun!

5) Tangle Teezer
I can't exaggerate how much this brush has saved my hair! I have yet to find a knot that it couldn't glide right over. Also great for those dry-shampoo-three-day-old-hair days.
6) Evian Natural Mineral Water Facial Spray
The small aisles on the way to the checkout counter at Sephora always get me. This facial mist claims to hydrate, purify, and refresh makeup. It is especially good for keeping foundation from becoming too cakey throughout the day, or also just as a pick-me-up. I tend to have pretty dry skin, so I will definitely be repurchasing another one of these when I run out!

7) Tarte Cheek Stain in True Love and Flush
Before applying, these blushes look pretty intimidating. But don't worry! They go on relatively sheer and with the perfect amount of blendability. I like these particularly for Summer because they tend to last longer on me than normal powder blushes. I apply them in one swipe directly on my cheeks then blend out with a brush.

So those are just a few of the things I find essential for summer! xx
