Yay for summer, right? Here in southern Missouri summer is in full swing, and I could not be happier. I'm a warm weather kind of girl. 🙂 Since we experience all four seasons, our favorite beauty products tend to change often. We thought it would be fun share some of the items we are currently crushing on. For me, a big part of my summer so far was my wedding, so some of my picks are what I wore on my wedding day.
First let's talk lips. For everyday wear I'm currently using Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm
in Petunia. For fancy lips my current favorite is Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Queen over Radiant Cosmetics lipstick in Daphne. This is the combo I wore on my wedding day. And for every season it's fun to have a good red lipstick on hand, right? I currently love Revlon's Certainly Red
.
My favorite nail polishes this season are leaning hard on white tones, gold and neon yellow. My current favorite white is from L'Oreal
called Satin Sheets. My favorite gold is Nicole by OPI in The Next CEO. And the neon yellow I love (and wore on my wedding day) is from American Apparel, simply named Neon Yellow.
A few just-for-fun items I'm using this season are a Jumbo Liner
from Sephora (12HR Beige). I like to line my inner eye lids for a softer, dewy look. And the perfume I'm using this summer is Oh, Lola!
by Marc Jacobs. I bought the roll-on size so I could travel with it on my honeymoon. 🙂 Thanks for letting me share! Do you have any favorite beauty items your currently loving this season? xo. Emma

can’t wait to try that lip tar!
Great Picks! Love that lip color
LOVE the purple lipstick. Maybelline’s vivids have one almost that exact same color (Brazen Berry) and I wear it ALL the time. It’s too perfect!

I’ve been hearing SO much about the lip tar, but I’ve always been a bit afraid of it. But it looks absolutely gorgeous on you, so maybe you’ve inspired me to try it out! 🙂
love these summery picks. so perfect for summer and so fitting for you! 🙂
Ummm…..can I have all of those lip products?! I’m in love with that bright purple Daphne shade! And I definitely have those OCC Lip Tars on my wish list. They are SO pigmented.
I’m loving my Milani Lipstick in Uptown Mauve…it’s a nice deep purple/pink.

I spy some of my favorites!

Thanks for showing which products you like to use right now.
I do pretty much use the same products all year through, I just change the colours of my eye shadow and during winter do I use more lip care than lip gloss. I definitely agree with the red lipstick. 😉
Oh, and I change the colours of my nail polish all the time anyway, I´m kind of an addict.
I love how you did your hair on the third picture (the up-do). I’d love a quick tutorial. Also the pink lipstick looks really great on you!
Radiant is the bomb! Nichol is amazing.
Buying a small/roll on fragrance is a great idea for traveling, and it’s never really occurred to me to do that instead of lugging a full size one hoping it doesn’t explode in my bag. Love that neon yellow polish!
What fun picks for summer! I had no idea you were located in southern Missouri! Does that mean you two work together virtually? I am in Omaha so it’s nice knowing others in the Midwest 🙂

I love how much make up routines change in the summer! I actually just restocked my makeup bag. Got to have some more bright colors!
I love that neon yellow nail polish:)

The lip colors are really great! I love how you went so bold on your wedding day in a subtle way with your nail polish! Very beautiful wedding and wedding dress and bride!
I love Burts Bees lip products. They’re fantastic. 🙂
great stuff!! Oh! Lola is on my wish list… it smells SO good. My sister is a make up artist and swears by lip tar… I’m going to have to get my hands on some asap. 🙂 Also, the L’Oreal colour riche nail polish is amazing, every shade. I am blown away by the quality. No top coat needed, and lasts incredible long. “L’orange” is my favourite shade. xo
Love love your style, my friend.
I love the neon nail polish! It’s so cool how you wore it on your wedding day.

I have yet to try L’Oreal nail polishes but their color range is absolutely gorgeous.
I’ve also been wearing Oh, Lola! a lot. I just love that scent for the summer. 🙂
I love those lip products. The colors are popping and rocking summer! 🙂

omg I LOVE the top/dress you are wearing in the second picture. Where did it come from??
Living in AR, we experience all 4 seasons and I feel like my make-up constantly changes with the seasons. This summer my go to products have been BB cream, Tarte Bronzer, They’re Real Mascara, and Sugar lip balm in Rose!
Love all of the different lip colors! I’ve never been on bored with purple lips, but you pull them off flawlessly! I’ve noticed that white nails have been really ‘in’ this season, but I wasn’t quite sure which polish would be a good one! Thanks for the recommendation!
Love Oh, Lola! and the nail polishes!

I need another nail polish like I need a hole in my head, but think I need to pick up that neon!

Thanks for recommending the white nail polish. I’ll see if I can pick this up. Whites are so often a streaky difficult mess, at least for me.
I am in LOVE with CORAL right now. On my fingers, on my toes, in my shirts, and I recently bought a pair of bright PINK pants in Austria that I just put on and feel HAPPIER;)
Now that we are living in Hawaii, I think I’ll be grabbing onto the color trend a lot more!
Love the pink and red lipsticks! And that yellow nail polish is amazing! I so wish I didn’t bite my nails to wear nail polish more often… Anyone have any tips to stop nailbiting? LOL
Gorgeous! ♥ I love the pops of color!

Hi, I have been following your blog for a while now, and I must admit that I really love it! It is just generally a very nicely “put together” blog 🙂 Definitely keep up the good work!
On a side note though; You should really look into cruelty free makeup. Makes the world a better place – Promise! 😉
umm my name is Daphne I am 100% ordering that lipstick! I can never find items where my name is spelt correctly, thanks for sharing so I could find my name sake:P The yellow polish and pink lips was such a nice combo:)
Great Post Thank you for sharing this post I really liked it 🙂
