Let’s be honest, ANYONE looks better with a good tan, but not all of us can make it to a beach or pool to get that bronzed look, or better yet, keep that tan going for months! We are fortunate to have olive skin (thanks, Dad!), but we always like to maintain a good glow all year. We just feel so much better with a good bronze tint. We have been using this St. Tropez Sunless Tanner for years, and absolutely love it (more in this post!) This one is the starter kit, so it has everything you need to get that bronzed look: Tan Enhancing Body Polish, Tan Enhancing Body Moisturizer, Self Tan Bronzing Mousse, and the Tan Applicator Mitt.
St. Tropez also has a ton of other items, especially some express tanners that will get you darker, quicker! We have tried a lot of their line and have loved every single item, you can’t go wrong! They also have this set that is an exclusive that comes with the Self Tan Classic Bronzing Mousse, Two Tan Applicator Mitts, and a Tote Bag! What we love about this tanner is that it dries super quickly, it is not stick, and it doesn’t have a weird smell. It also doesn’t transfer to all of your clothes, which is a major plus! Some of our other favorites are this Lancome Flash Bronzer and this Clinique Self Sun Body Tinted Lotion. The Lancome one has Vitamin E, is easy to apply, and develops color over 30 minutes that lasts for up to five days. The Clinique one is a little different because it gives you instant color and a golden tan that continues to develops in just a few hours. What we love about it is that you can see where you apply it, so you don’t miss a spot!If you’re wanting more of a lighter glow with a little bit of shimmer, this Charlotte Tilbury Body Shimmer Shape is a great option! This one is great because it isomer subtle, moisturizing, and it doesn’t transfer onto your white clothes! If you’re looking to give your face a glow, we love this Clinique Sun-Kissed Face Gelee Complexion. It is a sheer, oil-free gel that creates a healthy glow. You can mix it with your foundation, so you get the perfect amount of color!
Happy Tuesday! We are currently in Mexico with our mom to celebrate our 27th birthday tomorrow! We are actually trying to take some much-needed time off this week, so we are *trying* to post less, and really be present, so in case you all are wondering why our posts have slowed down this week ;) Since we are in full summer mode, and your makeup literally sweats and melts off the second you step outside, we wanted to share some of our beauty must-haves that stay on in this heat, and are also lightweight enough to wear in humidity! We both don’t wear a ton of makeup to begin with, so we try to keep it pretty light and natural looking. One of our favorite is this Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment with SPF 15 in ‘Tulip’. We love it because it has a light tint, so it is great for every day, and it also moisturizes and protects your lips from the sun.As far as a base layer, we ALWAYS use sunscreen every single day. We love this Supergoop ‘Everyday’ SPF50 because it goes on smooth and doesn’t have a strong scent!
To prime our face before foundation, we will usually use this Laura Mercier Radiance Foundation Primer. You can use it under foundation or with some tinted moisturizer. We love that it gives you a radiant glow for summer, and also helps your makeup go on smoother and last all day long!
A good bronzer is key in getting that sun-kissed look! We have been using this Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder in ‘Aruba’ for years, and love the color and light sparkle it gives!
Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend. Summer is in full swing, especially if you all are in Texas, like us! We wanted to share some of our summer hair must haves the we use all year, especially when the weather is warmer. As you all know, we have hair extensions and balayage, so taking proper care of our hair is crucial! One of our favorite hair brands, Oribe (which we tried recently and LOVE) has the best travel set, perfect for summer travels! This set is an exclusive set with Nordstrom, so we recommend grabbing it now before it is gone! The Oribe travel set has some of our favorite products from their line, and we love that their products are paraben-free and safe for color or keratin-treated hair:
Gold Lust Dry Shampoo : a transformative dry shampoo that helps extend your blowout and prevent damage (LOVE this one!!)
Dry Texturizing Spray : a revolutionary invisible dry spray that builds incredible volume and adds texture to any hairstyle (love for curling hair!)
You all have probably read or heard us mention that we try to go 5-7 days without washing our hair, so we really rely on lots of dry shampoo and good heating tools! We also rely on Drybar A LOT to get our hair blown out. We just fount this exclusive Texture Toolkit from Drybar that has a lot of our favorite products we like to use at home:
3-Day Bender 1″ Curling Iron: a curling iron with a patented rotating barrel designed for and used by stylists at Drybar shops across the U.S. to deliver smooth, long-lasting curls to thousands of clients every day (we love this one for smooth, silky curls!)
Tiny Tress Press Detailing Iron: a super-compact detailing iron that allows you to touchup hard-to-reach roots, bangs and flyaways at home or on the go (great iron for traveling or touching up hair near the root!)
Hold Me Hair Clips (2 clips): hair clips with an alligator jaw design to securely hold a large amount of hair out of your way, making sectioning simple and successful.
Triple Sec 3-in-1 Texturizing Spray : a portable spray that functions as a light, clear, dry shampoo, absorbing oil and instantly leaving hair feeling fresh and clean.
Whiskey Fix Styling Paste : a unique wax/pomade that provides texture and medium hold to hair without making it sticky or stiff.
Another hair must-have for summer is this Bounceback Pack. It has three of our go-to products for dirty hair and maintaining our fresh blowouts! What is so great about this pack is that they are all travel-sized, so you can easily pack them for a trip or weekend getaway!
Travel-size Detox Dry Shampoo : a dry shampoo that absorbs oil, impurities and odor while providing body and fullness, leaving hair feeling fresh and clean (a hair MUST)!
Hold Me Hair Clips (2 clips): a hair clip with an alligator jaw design that securely holds a large amount of hair out of your way, making sectioning simple and successful.
All of these hair must haves, as well as this easy, patriotic look are from Nordstrom. We love that they carry SO many of our favorite beauty must-haves, and that they offer free shipping and returns. We use their in-store-pickup every week– slightly embarrassing 😉 For reference, we are wearing size xs in the tank size 25 in the shorts, and size 7 in the sandals.
One of our favorite retailers, Nordstrom, is having their Half Yearly Sale where you can save up to 40% off! This is a perfect time to get some great summer pieces! Everything is marked down from home stuff, clothing (for everyone!), beauty, and so much more!
We rounded up our favorites below for you all, and will continue to add more pieces, so keep checkin back;)
