Take a look at my summer beauty finds to keep you looking fresh for the summer.
Summer beauty and black hair care finds
Last year I found out about Dollar General Beauty Days and they were giving out free beauty boxes during their beauty event but I didn’t manage to get one. This year when they hosted the seventh annual Days of Beauty event I made sure to try to snag one and guess what, I did!
I was thrilled when I received a huge box of beauty products like shampoo and conditioner, leave in conditioners, and makeup such as mascara and foundation.
This box was heavy y’all. Imagine my excitement when I found defining curl creams and custards, moisturizing cream, hair gel, hair masks, and more, all for free!
Summer beauty products I’m trying
I received Maybelline Sky High Mascara which looks like it defines your lashes and elongates them.
One of the best brands mascaras I have ever tried was from Cover Girl and Cover Girl Lash Blast Clean Volume Mascara was another one of the full-size Beauty samples that I received.
And to help take off all that mascara is Neutrogena Makeup Remover Ultrasoft Cleansing Towelettes which are plant-based and remove 99% of make up and even waterproof mascara.
Eucerin Original Healing Lotion is perfect for moisturizing the back of my heels and keeping my feet smooth and soft for sandal season.
I’m keeping my legs smooth and hair free with Bic Soleil Escape Razors that are scented with lavender and eucalyptus. They have a moisturizing strip with almond oil and smell nice.
Another woman’s razor is the Joy Blade Razor the pink one my favorite color has five blades and comes with two cartridges.
Cover Girl Clean Liquid Foundation is creamy and light for summertime coverage.
Root to End Replenishing Hair Mask helps for new rejuvenate and refresh dry hair.
To complete my styling look, there’s got2be Glued Styling Spiking Glue which help spike and chunk the hair. I saw one of the beauty bloggers use this as an edge cream as a product to lay your edges.
I’ve been wearing Maybelline Fast Gel in Ruby Glitz which is a glittery pink glitter fast drying nail polish. It’s perfect for summertime sparkle.
I’ll be sure to top off all of my nail polish manicures and pedicures with Sally Hansen Hard As Nails nail hardener which is a clear topcoat that strengthens your nails.
