Summer essentials

Hi guys, today I'm gonna show you some of my favorite products I like to use during summer :)

(I forgot one product in this pic)

As you may have noticed, there's only one makeup product and that's the bronzer.

These are bronzing pearls from Avon, my absolute must-have of every summer. I only use this product once my skin gets tanned, although it doesn't look so bad on pale skin either. It blends very well and it looks very natural. I'd give it a 9/10. 

I'm currently obsessed with Kiko Milano nail polishes. The colors are just amazing!  And they last quite long, although the first 3 (from left to right) should only be applied in one layer as they tend to wrinkle if you apply 2 layers (not cool 👎🏼). I got them on sale (for 50% off, I believe). I'd give those 3 a 7/10 and for the last one (far right), I'd say it's a 8,5/10.

Next product is a hair mask from Garnier. I wanted to try a different mask from Garnier and I was very indecisive, but I finally picked this one. It's very good, it moisturized my hair, but I didn't find it as good as the first one I had (check previous posts). The reason is that my curls weren't as defined as with the first mask. But I still liked this product and I'm giving it a firm 8/10. 

Next in line are hair oil and a lip balm. If you love coconut, this is the perfect lip balm for you. It's not very oily and it has a mild coconut scent, just enough for you to be able to smell it throughout the day. 

I'm not sure if it's available in Yves Rocher stores since I ordered it from a 'Yves Rocher Lady' for just 1,49€ (I think). I'd give it a 7,5 because it doesn't seem to stay on the lips for a long time. 

I purchased this hair oil along with some other Macadamia products and I absolutely love it. I usually put a few drops on my hands and gently apply it onto wet hair and I love the way my hair smells when it gets dry. I primarily use it to moisturize my curls and it really does the job. It gets a 9/10 from me. 

My must-haves this year are D&G Light Blue (as every summer in the last few years) and a new product I dared to try out, the body splash from H&M. I went for the watermelon and mango scent and I did not go wrong. I'm so obsessed with this scent that I'm spraying it all over the room, inside the closet and even my bed.  However, it disappears quite quickly, unfortunately. That's why I'm giving it a 6,5/10. 

I think I already talked about Light Blue in other posts, so I'll just skip it now. I'm currently looking for some new perfumes I could try, so don't hesitate to leave a comment with your suggestions :) 

The last 3 products are for skin care. The one on the left, La Roche-Posay Anthelios (before sun) is a lotion with very high protection (50+). The product on the right, from the same brand, is used after being exposed to sun. Personally, my skin rarely gets sunburned, but I always use this type of products just to keep my skin moisturized and protected. I've seen this lotion 'fixing' burned skin in no time, however, you need to apply it several times a day. Both are paraben-free and you can get them at the pharmacy. Retail price was 40€ altogether. 

The self-tanning product in the middle was a huge discovery. It's on the cheap side and as such, I didn't have high expectations, but this product amazed me. It looks very natural, it's very easy to apply it, smells so nice, there are no ugly lines/creases and once it starts to fade/wash out, it still looks very even. Big thumbs up for this product from the German chain store DM. I think it only costs around 3-4€.
