July Beauty Products

The new beauty launches never stop coming—and yet, the high-quality makeup, skincare, and hair products that launch still manage to amaze me. Innovation is at an all-time high and formulas are more elegant than ever. In the spirit of summer, brands released plenty of beach day-approved items, including (but by no means limited to) weightless skin tints, refreshing face mists, and stunning sunscreens. There have also been a handful of soon-to-be cult classics that I plan on keeping stocked year round (read: Olaplex’s new Volumizing Blow Dry Mist and Too Faced’s mascara primer). 

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Hydrator Mist

In the summer, I take pride and joy in my beach bag. It’s stocked with all the necessities, including this new Charlotte Tilbury launch which has become my absolute savior on hot, humid days. It’s packed with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, which makes it the perfect skin pick-me-up when I’m spending time in the sun. The glow is truly instant (as is to be expected with all Charlotte products) and it gets bonus points in my book for the cooling effect it has on the skin.

Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint

I don’t do full coverage of anything in the summer—if it feels heavy, it’s not coming near my face. Enter, the brand-new Hourglass skin tint, which feels like absolutely nothing on my skin. It borders on tinted moisturizer territory thanks to its profile of uber-hydrating ingredients, but actually delivers a surprising amount of coverage. I’ve been applying it with my fingers and am continuously amazed by how easy it blends into my skin—and in awe of the glow it leaves behind

Loewe Geranium Outdoor Candle

I love outdoor candles, but the smell of citronella makes my head hurt. That's why this one, filled with geranium essence that reveals rose notes once lit, is my go-to for the season. Scent aside, it also looks super modern next to my wooden patio furniture while I sip cold lemonade

Ilia The Cleanse Soft Foaming Cleanser

Ilia recently made their foray into skincare with their eye cream, and as of this month, they’re expanding into the cleanser category. As to be expected—it’s a good one. Unlike other foaming cleansers on the market, this one actually removes all my makeup, which is a big feat without an oil base. It’s still pretty hydrating and leaves my skin with a soft feel. I do run on the drier side though, so I make sure to follow up with moisturizer right away
