Beat the Heat & Humidity Hair & Beauty Products


The warm and humid weather is starting up again and sometimes this can affect your hair and makeup. For hot summer days here are some of the best products that will keep your look intact. 

Garnier Fructis Fiber Gum Putty (Extra Strong)
This hair gel can help your hairstyle stay in place for hours and keep stray hairs in check. It smells great and has a lighter consistency than your average gel.

Covergirl CG Smoothers BB Cream 
On hot days I don't like the feeling of a heavy foundation. This light and airy BB Cream will smooth out your skin, provide coverage, and keep your face hydrated. My favorite part is that it has SPF 15 which will protect your skin from the sun if you're going to be outside for short periods of time. If you want a bit more coverage you can mix this BB Cream with your normal foundation and then apply it per usual.

John Frieda Frizz Ease Heat Defeat Protective Spray
I spray this all over my damp hair before I blow dry it. Not only does it protect your mane from the heat of styling tools it also makes a shield against humidity. Perfect for those muggy days.

Pantene Pro-V Medium This Hair Solutions 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner
This is my year round shampoo. It smells great and also creates a barrier against humidity in the spring & summer.

Garnier Fructis Style Sleek and Shine Anti-Humidity Hair Spray (Ultra Strong) 
I'm very picky about hairspray. If it smells bad I will not use it. Fortunately, this hairspray smells wonderful and holds my hairstyle all day long. It's Sleek and Shine Anti-Humidity formula helps prevent my hair from frizzing. It works great with by other anti-humidity products.

Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm (Peach Kiss)
A great nude lip balm that works well with any makeup style. The best part is that it has SPF 20.

Covergirl Clean Pressed Powder Sensitive Skin (Ivory)
This pressed powder will keep oily skin in check on hot summer days so that your face stays nice and matte.

Girls' Day



Today I had a fun day out with my bestfriend. We went to the salon for a little bff time and to get our nails done for the concert we're going to on Saturday. My friend chose bright purple polish while I picked this reddish/pinkish color with cheetah accents.
