Here’s some of my current favorites for Summer 2023, from drinks to skincare… here’s what I’ve been using / consuming pretty much daily! Links are posted, give em a try.
SKINCARE

DAY TIME
This SunBum Face Mist is truly saving my pores. I’m an avid sunscreen wearer; but I’m also acne prone so those heavy creamy sunscreens (although great for sun care) is terrible for my acne. This face mist is light weight but still has the protection needed. Be sure to not spray it directly on your face, work through your hands first.
NIGHT TIME
This is the PeterThomasRoth 24K Gold Mask Pure Luxury Lift & Firm. Literally feels like a spa treatment every night. The purpose is to lift but it has such a calming effect. It glides on your face so smoothly. You can use this however often you’d like!
MAKEUP

MAYBELLEINE DREAM FRESH BB CREAM
Ok I know I’m taking it back with this one. This BB cream gives 2013 but in the best way! I’ve realized as I’ve gotten olde that I don’t want to wear foundation as much. This is the PERFECT alternative as it’s lightweight, has buildable coverage and blends nicely into the skin.
24-HR Brow Setter Clear Brow Gel
When they say 24 Hours boy do they mean it. My eyebrows are not going ANYWHERE when I put this Benefit gel on. My eyebrows are just like my hair, beautiful but stubborn so this is a must have for those hot and humid summers.
HAIR CARE

MELANIN AFRICAN BLACK SOAP REVIVING SHAMPOO
Speaking of hair, this Melanin African Black Soap shampoo leaves my hair fresh clean but not stripped! As someone who needs extra moisture (thanks to my decision to bleach my hair) this shampoo gives my hair that clean and hydrated feeling.
PATTERN BEAUTY TRANSITION MASK
OK this product literally cut my wash day in half. Apply it on dry hair BEFORE you wash it. I clip it in sections leave it on for about 10 min then shampoo it out. Incredible slip, smells amazing and nourishes the curls. I think this product is great for any natural hair type. Thank you Miss Ellis – Ross!
DRINKS

YOGI RICH AND ROBUST MORNING VITALITY
I have to admit, I am a coffee girl in the morning but when I need those calm but caffeinated mornings (instead of the rushed and busy ones) this tea is what I drink. Has a cinnamon like smell which wakes me up like espresso does. I add a teaspoon or 2 of sugar and I’m good to go with this one!
MINGLE MOCKTAILS
As a Booze Free Baddie, Mingle Mocktails have been my go-to. I love making mocktails myself but these are super easy to grab and pour. Of course you can customize them (and add alcohol if you’d like) but it really is perfect the way it is!) This cucumber melon one is def a Summer fav. Take it to the pool or the beach and obv you have to snap pics because the label is adorable.
