I fell in love with this summery look that Kourtney Kardashian wore this past week while grabbing frozen yogurt with her sister and her mom. It is very polished with the monochromatic blouse and shorts but the pop of color and trendy head wrap make this outfit stand out! It can easily be worn for a dressed up night out or a day out by the beach. Perfect for summer! How do you feel about this look? Would you rock it? Let me know in the comments below!

Beat The Heat: Maintaining an Oil Free Face

When the summer months roll around, cue the oily skin. The hot sun causes everyone to sweat a little more and makeup to slide. However, luckily, there are plenty of products out there that help alleviate this burden.

1. Primer

Primer is essential for keeping your makeup looking flawless all day long, regardless of the heat. Depending on your skin type, eyeshadow primer is negotiable. My favorite eyeshadow primers is the NARS eyeshadow base but I just ran out so I am back to using my trusty Urban Decay primer potion. In addition, I find using a primer on your face is essential. I love the Smashbox PhotoFinish light because it does not feel greasy on the skin and reduces shine. Primers are a must have for summer!

2. Foundation

During the summer, I like to wear an extremely lightweight foundation. Revlon's Nearly Naked foundation is just that. It has light coverage but better yet, it doesn't feel like you have anything on your skin. To accompany the foundation, I love the Nearly Naked powder in fair. It is finely milled and provides a little more coverage while helping mattify the face. 

3. Cream Blush

Cream blush helps the skin look more natural. I love the appearance of a naturally flushed face and cream blush helps achieve that very look. The NYX cream blushes stay on the skin all day and are great for summer!

4. Lip balm

The trick to beating summer is moisturization! When many people have oily skin, they forget that their skin is actually dehydrated. Therefore, lotion and lip balm should be your best friend. This EOS lip balm reminds me of summer due to the fruity scent and bright orange color!

What I've Been Loving: May Favorites

Here are some of the beauty and makeup products that I fell in love with during the month of May!

1. Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation
After hearing rave reviews about this foundation, I decided to give it a whirl. I am in love with it. It claims to be a primer, concealer and foundation in one and it is just that. It has great, buildable coverage and long staying power on my combination/ oily skin. This is definitely going to be my foundation for the summer! I am in the shade 805, ivory.

2. Physicians Formula Conceal RX
This concealer is another amazing drugstore find. Typically, I stray away from Physicians Formula products due to their hefty price tag but this product is worth even double what I paid. This concealer is perfect for both under eye circles and to cover blemishes. It is one of the best concealers out there if you are looking for high coverage. I am in the shade fair light.

3. Covergirl Trio in Shimmering Sands
I have owned this trio for well over a year now but this past month, I have used it more than ever. It is perfect for a shimmery, neutral eye look. I often use the pale pink shade as a highlight and the middle taupe shade for all over the lid. This trio is a must have for all make up lovers.

4. Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara
I recycle through mascaras rather quickly but this one has stuck around for quite some time. Often times  I skip eyeshadow and eyeliner but mascara is always a must. It is a simple way to make my eyes pop. This mascara has just what I look for, volume. It makes my lashes look dark and luscious. I love it!

5. Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush in Blissful
I am a huge fan of Tarte's 12 hour blushes. They have tremendous staying power and great pigmentation. During the Spring and Summer months, I love having a peachy, coral flush on my cheeks. With this blush, a little goes a long way but regardless, it is the ideal blush for summer.

6. Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya
The Revlon Lip Butters are some of my favorite lip products in the market right now. They are moisturizing, have great color payoff and extremely affordable. After seeing a review of the lip butter in Juicy Papaya on Amarixe's blog, I knew I had to try it. This lip look screams "girl next door" and that is the exact look I typically am aiming for.

7. Philosophy Body Lotion in Holiday Hugs

I received this travel size lotion in a gift set for Christmas. I refrained from using it for a few months but broke it out at the end of April. I love Philosophy products. My skin soaks them up and they moisturize well. This sweet scent is absolutely divine. I would definitely love to try this out in the full size!

8. Redken Outshine 01: Anti-frizz polishing milk

Because I attend school down south, gross humidity was inescapable this past month. Unfortunately, my thick hair and humidity do not get along well. This caused an insane frizz fest. Luckily, I picked up this little beauty and my hair problems were solved. Just one pump of this serum causes my frizz to diminish!

Those are my favorites for the month! What are yours? Be sure to share in the comments below!
