The first official day of summer is next week so its probably time to start stocking up on your favorite items to add to your makeup drawer. Today I’m sharing my must-haves beauty items for this summer.
1. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer- I don’t like to cake on a bunch of makeup in the summer time so I wear tinted moisturizer. Laura Mercier does a great job at appealing to all skin tones and skin types.
2. Cargo Lip Gloss- I received this product in my Birchbox last month and I’m officially obsessed with this brand. It’s not sticky and its long lasting. The brand makes several shades perfect for the summertime!
3. Oscar Blandi Dry Shampoo-I’ve been working out a lot lately to get ready for bikini season. I found out about this product from Nikki from Single Bubble Pop and it’s great. I can spray it on my hair after a hard day at the gym and go to work still looking fab.
4.Essie First Timer Nail Polish- Essie is one of my favorite nail polish brands. I love that they have such wide variety of colors! This mint color is perfect for pairing with your summer whites.
I recently read an article about the launch of the Step Up & Step Out tour sweeping the nation by storm. Earlier this week the tour kicked off in NYC with model Miranda Kerr in Times Square.
The tour is heading to the Atlanta area this weekend and I’m asking you to join me if you are in the city for an afternoon of fun.The event will happen at Atlantic Station from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. If you aren’t in Atlanta, don’t fret! The tour is also making stops in two of my other favorite cities Miami and L.A later this month.
Women can come enjoy a one on one consultations on how to step up their beauty routines for summer while enjoying a pampering shaving experience from Gillette. You will also be able to try on the latest spring and summer fashions from Rent the Runway, and then strut their stuff on their blue carpet for a cause. For every step taken on the “blue carpet,” Venus will donate $1 to Step Up Women’s Network, up to $25,000.
If you aren’t in one of the touring cities, you can still give back and get involved by Tweeting with the #stepup hashtag and Venus will also donate $1 to Step Up Women’s Network. Also make sure to check out the Venus YouTube channel for more information on the tour, content from the events and more.
Last week I received my Birchbox for the month of May. This month’s theme box is about beauty essentials, products that Birchbox staff needs to get through everyday. I was excited to see I would be lipgloss and hair oil in this months box because I’ve been looking for those. I must the lipgloss is pretty amazing and I can’t wait to try another color. I’m still on the search for the perfect hair oil this one was a little bit too heavy for my hair. Look below to see what else I got in my box:
Cargo Lip Gloss
Pilot Corporation of America Acroball PureWhite®
amika Obliphica Hair Treatment
COOLA Classic SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer for Face
Isaac Mizrahi FABULOUS Eau de Parfum & Rollerball

My February Birchbox arrived in the mail last week. It’s been a while since I’ve talked about my Birchbox boxes but I’ve had a few friends recently ask me about what I got in my box.
