Summer Beauty Faves: High-End Edition

And I’m back with more beauty faves! As much as I try to save money on beauty products, sometimes I cave. Sephora really knows how to break me…..

Keep reading for some of my favourite higher-end beauty favourites for the summertime!

1. Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask
Charcoal, so hot right now…charcoal… But seriously, I’m loving this whole charcoal trend that is happening, and this mask is a great way to start. It’s perfect after a sweaty day to clear out those pores and make you feel refreshed.

2. tarte Brazilliance Skin Rejuvenating Maracuja Face & Body Self Tanner
I LOVE TARTE. I will scream it from the rooftops. I bought this self tanner because Jess Keys recommended it, and I love it. It doesn’t turn you orange, it’s super easy to apply evenly, and it smells incredible. High five for a golden glow without the sun damage!

3. PARLOR by Jeff Chastain Moisturizing Sea Salt Spray
Birchbox has done it again. This Birchbox exclusive is amazing, and I will 150% be buying it once I use up my sample. It smells so good, which we all know is a huge selling point for me. This spray gives my baby soft hair tons of texture without making it greasy or crunchy. Since I won’t be getting beach waves from a real beach any time soon, this will have to do.

4. Lush Porridge Soap
I decided to consider Lush “high-end” because we all know you can’t go in there without spending $100. This soap is very plain, but it is a must for the summer. My elbows and knees still manage to get dry in the summer, so this soap helps exfoliate without irritating my skin and it makes me smell lovely.

5. NARS Roman Holiday Lipstick
This lipstick is my go-to all year round, but especially in the summer. It’s mega moisturizing (which I find is hard to come by in lipsticks) and is the perfect shade of pink. It’s bright and fun yet understated…one swipe for daytime wear, a few extra coats for a pink pout at night.
