Lighter and Brighter –<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
BB creams, Mineral powders or tinted moisturizers with sunblock are perfect multitasking products for summer. Multi-purpose stains such as RMS Beauty Lip2Cheek<\/a> or Revolution Organics Freedom Glow beauty balms\u00a0<\/a>are lighter, easier to apply, easier to carry around and create a natural glow without being harmful for your skin. If you need to apply concealers, you can try products such as\u00a0Jane Iredale Active Light under eye concealer<\/a> (read Bella Sugar Review here<\/a>) or RMS Un-Coverup<\/a> for a light and natural face.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Double cleansing method works great for summer.

Shoe Away the Bites –<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Deodorant to protect shoe induced blisters? This is something new to me but since I am very prone to shoe bites, I am always in search of tips to avoid them. According to\u00a0Beth Shepouri, Beauty blogger<\/a>, the silicone in deodorants is supposed to help induce some slip into the shoe straps so your feet is protected from shoe induced blisters. I used Burt’s Bees lipbalm<\/a> instead and it worked pretty well. This is worth trying for anyone who has been a serious victim of shoe bites.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
