Hey loves! I don’t know about you, but I’m super excited it’s Summer! Even though my favorite season will always be Autumn, I still look forward to this time of year!

One of the things I really look forward to about the warm weather months, besides finally being able to break out my sundresses, shorts and sandals (and also not having to wear a coat or jacket everyday), and all the delish recipes this time of year inspires, is wearing lighter and sometimes brighter make-up colors. It all depends on my mood and of course how my skin is behaving at the time (don’t want to be dealing with clogged pores and nasty break outs!).

Today, I want to share some of my current favorites – some I have used for years (Jane Iredale) and some I have only used for a very short while (Badger, 100% Pure), but I love them all the same! And so far, no skin issues from using any of these! 😀

1) Gabriel Cosmetics “Bungalow Lip Gloss” – The perfect bright pink lip gloss! Highly pigmented so a little goes a very long way! I usually add a shimmery gloss over this as it is more of a matte texture.

2) Badger Tinted Sunscreen in SPF 30 – I’ve only used this a few times, but so far my skin has not had any issues. Full review to come soon.

3) Jane Iredale Pressed Base –  Jane Iredale was the first natural make-up I used when I switched over to green beauty 8 years ago . I love the clean ingredients, the coverage (this covers everything for me!), the color match (Amber is my perfect shade) and the fact that it lasts forever and doesn’t ever break me out!

4) Zuzu Luxe Color Correcting Primer (Anti-Redness) – I love to use this on days when my skin is looking particularly red and blotchy. A little bit blended out with a beauty blender and no more red! This also smooths out the skin and of course, the ingredients are clean and don’t break me out!

5) Delizioso Tara Adorned Blushing Mousse – This lovely pink blush can be used on lips as well as cheeks, is made with nourishing and healthy ingredients, like Prickly Pear Seed Oil, Watermelon Seed Oil and Argan Oil to name a few and the vanilla scent is beyond delish!

6) Ecobrow in “Penelope” – If you’re looking for a cleaner, more eco-friendly dupe of Anastasia Beverly Hills “Dipbrow”, this is your product! Paraben free, 100% natural, mineral based color that lasts all day! For someone like me whose brows are not only sparse and thin, but uneven as well, this has been my eyebrow saving grace!

7) Dermaviduals Cover & Conceal – This is a product I use even on days when I don’t wear any other make-up. It contains mineral pigments and a slew of ingredients perfect for healing acne, such as Bisabolol (an anti-inflammatory) and zinc oxide (which is antiseptic) as well as Jojoba Oil. The olive green shade neutralizes any redness perfectly.

8) Gabriel Cosmetics Mascara in “Jet Black” – I never thought I would find a mascara that I like better than my beloved Organic Wear, but this one is my new go-to. My lashes have never looked longer, there is no caking or flaking and the mascara lasts without streaking down my face by the end of the day! I’ve also noticed that my lashes don’t fall out like they used to…not sure if this mascara has helped with that or something in my diet..but hey, not complaining!

9) Delizioso Tara California Bronzing Mousse – This lovely creme bronzer smells like vanilla cake batter, is a gorgeous, highly pigmented golden bronze color, blends beautifully and can be used on cheeks, lips and eyes. This is one of my favorite multi-tasking products!

10) Dermaviduals Tinted Day Cream – My absolute favorite tinted moisturizer..ever! There’s soooo much to say about this product, and I plan on doing a full review of this brand in the future, but for now, let me just say that this offers the best coverage of any product I’ve yet tried, matches my skin so well it’s hard to tell I am even wearing make-up and contains lots of wonderful ingredients like Castor Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil, Ceramides and even Peptides for some anti-aging benefits and lasts all day, even in the worst humidity! Love, love, love this! 🙂 <3

11) 100% Pure Healthy Skin Foundation in “White Peach” – This is my first foray into using their make-up and so far I am pretty impressed! I love that this foundation not only delivers a matte finish, but the color matches my skin extremely well (something that has proven time and again to be a challenge). I’ve only used this a few times, so I can’t really say yet how my skin likes it, but so far so good!

12) Kari Gran Tinted Lip Whip – I love this for days when I just want a touch of  color. See full review here.

13) Coola Suncare SPF 30 Unscented Matte Tint – I love to use this as my primer with spf. It doesn’t provide a lot of coverage so I still need to wear a liquid or powder foundation over it. See full review here.
