Hello beauties! Hope you are all doing well!
Today we have a very special guest here on the RosyChicc – the gorgeous Živa from the blog Nothing Fancy. Really. I will leave you
to her lovely company now and don’t forget to stay tuned for an exciting
Giveaway at the end of the post :)
A
big hello to Andrea's wonderful readers! I am so glad to be here today - I have
been a faithful reader of Rosy Chicc for years and I absolutely love the lady behind
the blog. I was so excited when she agreed to let me guest post in this
beautiful place of the Internet - and also a bit intimidated! I hope you will
still like this post - I'll be talking about my Summer Beauty Must-Haves.
Let's
start with the face. I like using a mattifying moisturizer in the summer, and a
great choice is the REN Clarimatte T-Zone Balancing Gel-Cream. This is
more of a thick cream than a gel, and I really love that it sinks in fast and
still provides a little bit of moisture to my skin. I also love wearing it
under my makeup, as it makes a really nice base.
After
I apply moisturizer, I like using a lighter foundation or a tinted product. My
two favourites are the Vichy Capital Soleil SPF 50 BB Cream and the Bourjois
123 Perfect CC Cream with SPF 15. When I'm out in the sun, I like to reach
for the BB Cream, which is just great for the beach as well. It looks really
dewy and natural, but if you don't like that look, you can easily add a
translucent powder over it. The CC Cream from Bourjois is very similar, though
it has a lower SPF, so it would be better to use it when you're not exposed to
the sun directly.
Aside
from my cheeks, I also really love playing up my lips. I wanted to talk about
two of my favourites today, both of which are MAC lipsticks. First we
have Lovelorn, a Lustre lipstick, which is between a nude and a pink.
It's cool toned, incredibly glossy and would look beautiful on any skin tone.
The other one is Pink Nouveau, a toned down neon pink with cold tones as
well, which really brightens lips. I love it because it's so unique - neon
shades are really out there, but this one is a bit subdued.
I
don't want to forget the rest of my body, so here are three hair & body
favourites. For my hair, I've really been enjoying the Redken Extreme
Anti-Snap Treatment, which is a leave-in product you apply to wet hair.
While it really softens my hair, I don't think it would look as good if I
hadn't cut it recently! For my body, I really love the Garnier Oil Beauty
range. I'm missing the body scrub, but I have the lotion and the oil, and
they're both lovely and amazingly scented.
Finally,
a quick word on nails ... I used to be a huge nail polish hoarder, and I've
calmed down a bit, but when I saw the Models Own Polish For Tans collection
I'll admit there was some hyperventillating involved. This is a collection of
gorgeous neon shades, which will make tanned skin look amazing! They actually
make me look tanned despite the fact I've spent about 15 minutes in the sun so
far this summer. From five shades, I picked three - a neon peach, a bright
coral, and a hot fuchsia shade. I also threw in Essie Romper Room (it's
practically the same as Fiji), which is a pretty pastel pink colour - it also
makes you look really tan.
There
you have it - a few of my summer picks, though I'm sure I'll manage to pick up
a few other bits during the summer months...
