Early Summer Beauty Favs

Happy first day of Summer!

Today I am sharing some of my beauty favorites that I have been using constantly these past few weeks!

Neutrogena Hydroboost Moisturizer - GUYS, this stuff is amazing it is so light and feels great on my skin.  It is also veryyyy similar to the Clinique 72-hour Moisture Surge, but for a fraction of the price. I don't moisturize like I should so this travel size has lasted me a while and I truly do love it. 

Neutrogena Hydroboost Lip Shine - Yes I am sharing two lip glosses in this post but I love to change things up! I kept seeing people share this on their instagram in May and I had to try it out especially since it is a drugstore brand, I figured "why not?" When I went to Target to purchase there were few colors left and few quantities in those remaining colors! If you want a lip gloss to keep on hand, I highly recommend this Lip Shine!

Laneige Berry Lip Gloss - I actually received this in my Easter basket from my mom this year.  I had been wanting the overnight lip mask from Laneige, but honestly, I have gotten way more use out of this as I can toss it in my bag for on the go as well.  There are about four flavor options, but I love the pink tube.  It honestly tastes/smells like a Jelly Bean LipSmacker. This is a more luxurious lip gloss and makes me feel a little more put together when I wear it

Bad Gal BANG - I had been using the Better Than Sex mascara for a while, but it was starting to clump up and I figured it was time to toss it.  My mom had this unopened from a Nordstrom Sale where mascaras were buy two get the third free and she still had not gotten around to using it.  I have really enjoyed it and it doesn't flake off throughout the day!

bareMinerals Complexion Rescue- Okay so I have saved my absolute favorite for last!  This tinted moisturizer feels soooo good on my skin.  My friend and I were in Ulta a few weeks ago just trying out every product in typical Ulta fashion and we tried this and we were hooked!!!  I am almost out and I plan on repurchasing this again. I wear the shade Birch 1.5 and it matches my complexion perfectly! I would highly recommend this if you are in the market for a new foundation. It is very lightweight and great for these hot summer days!

Post-Grad Plans

Good morning, friends!

It has been almost a whole month since I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in May.  I am writing to you from my home in Eastern North Carolina.

The week following the longest exam week ever (literally, so long... I had SIX exams) was quite fun.  I got to spend time with friends and relax.  My boyfriend's family, along with mine, had a nice lunch together at the Angus Barn in Raleigh. It was nice having all of our family in one place instead of splitting our time.

So what's next?

Beginning in July, I will begin work as a College Advisor for the Carolina College Advising Corps.  I will be working at a high school in my hometown which is kind of exciting and a relief in some regards. This was the job I wanted out of all of the ones I had applied for and it will be nice to face this new transition while living at home and having familiar faces around (and of course to be able to save money).

Until work begins,  I have just been relaxing at home, going to the gym and spending days at the pool.  My goal is to work on the blog a little more as well now that I have rested up!

What are your plans for the summer?
