Summer MUST HAVES!

HOT AND READY! HOT AND READY!

I have your top Hot Summer Must Haves!!!

SUN BLOCK
Protect yourself from skin cancer! Your skin needs protection from the sun especially if you are going to be outside for a long period of time. I know it sounds simple but using sunscreen can dramatically help you age better and keep your skin healthy!

I recommend Jergens Natural GLOW. This will protect you skin and also help improve your complexion. You can purchase at your nearest drug store.
Jergens Natural Glow Healthy Complexion Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 20

SEA SALT HAIR SPRAY
You want beachy waves without hitting the beach? Sea Salt spray will give you authentic looking beachy waves. This is awesome for bad hair days and also keeping heat off of your hair! It will give you shine and lots of volume!

I recommend LUSH brand. If you are not familiar with the brand you should look into it! LUSH has fresh products and they do not test on animals! Here is a peak of the ingredients if you are interested:
Carrageenan Extract (Chondrus crispus) , Sea WaterFine Sea Salt (Sodium Chloride) , Grapefruit Oil (Citrus paradisi) , Rosewood oil (Aniba rosaeodora)


NEON SHADOWS
I am loving Neon shades for the summer it is super fun! I saw this pallet and my mouth dropped! I currently do not own this yet. However, it is on my list of things to buy!  These could also be used as blushers and eyeliners all you will need is.... (Check Out My Youtube for this trick! lol) You can purchase this at Ulta or Sephora. 
Buying pallets can save you a ton a room and can be much easier than toting individual colors.

BARE MINERALS FOUNDATION
Who want's a melting face? I know I don't! Ladies if it is scorching hot outside and you feel the need for foundation I would suggest a light mineral foundation for coverage. With mineral foundation it feels so light you may even forget you have it on. If you are looking for a liquid substitute a tinted moisturizer should work just fine.


BUY NOW $27

BED HEAD MASTERPIECE TIGI
This is my FAVORITE hairspray hands down no matter what season it is. This is an awesome holding spray that holds your hair without it having that crispy feeling. Not only will it hold your hair with ease it also will give you a healthy shine. This can work for all types of hair no matter what your background is. *You may see this in pink

BUY NOW $21.99

WAIST SHAPER
So the new trend on the block is waist training. Do you want an hour glass figure? This waist trainer will help you achieve your goal to be "skinny think". Although, there is little controversy it has created a huge buzz in the beauty industry! I have seen Blac Chyna, Khole Kardashian, India Love, etc all doing this trend! Can't be too bad right? I know I want my hour glass figure for my new bikini and I have no problem jumping on this band wagon and neither should you!

KING OF SKIN
Yes! Another LUSH product of course. King of Skin is a solid lotion that you apply to wet skin right after you shower. I hate putting lotion on in the summer but putting it on while you are still wet cuts a lot of time out when getting ready and also minimizes sweating the lotion out. The lotion is so moisturizing yet light! (If you have extremely dry skin try Buffy) So do not worry about feeling sticky you will feel soft and moisturized all day. YES THIS IS MADE OF FRESH INGREDIENTS!

BUY NOW $13.95

WATTS UP! BENEFIT
This is a absolute must have. Every girl in the world should have this in their purse at all times. This is your go to when you want a simple fresh face. You just place in the areas you want to highlight by the shape of your face. On days you do not have time to do a full face this will give you that illusion.

EYELASH EXTENSIONS
This is a spa service and probably the most pricey on the list, yet ADDICTIVE! Strips and flares/individuals are a hassle and extremely damaging to your natural lashes. Not only are they unhealthy and destructive, it does not look natural by any means. With eyelash extensions your technician will add 1 lash on top of your 1 lash to give your natural lashes a fuller look. Do not worry about removal because they shed with your natural lash! How is easy is that? You can pick your fullness as well as design for your lashes. Lash extension can last you 2 to 3 weeks and then you are due for a fill. This is my number one for summer must haves because you have a natural look at all times. You can even go swimming with these on without shedding. This service can be addictive and can cost you a pretty penny but it is worth every penny of it. However, be careful to who you let do this service on you. If it sounds too good to be true then it is. Make sure your technician is trained properly. (My advice is to stay away from nail salons and stick to day spas or spas especially for lash extensions)




If you are in the St. Louis Mo area the best place to get lashed will be with Crystal if you want her contact info follow my IG or I can give it to you upon request!

I hope you all find this helpful and if you have any questions ask away!!!

Happy Summer LOVES <3

Introduction Please!

Hello!!!

I am SUPER excited about this blog. I have been wanting to do this for so long I promise you it is well overdue. First, I would like to introduce myself I am Merilyn and currently I am 21 living in the Midwest. I am currently in school at National Academy Beauty Arts. Don't let my age fool you, I've been into makeup since I was 16. It was actually my first job to give free makeovers. I am a beauty GEEK! I love to read, and of course I am going to read about the stuff I love. My blog will cover all types of topics so do not be alarmed! I love the feedback.... POSITIVE feedback, please do not be rude. Also, I would love to know any request.

THEE BOOJI LIST- (Where the hell you get that name from?)  lol

One of my best friends Heathre and I were talking in the car about getting our nails done with acrylic. At that time we would only get our own nails painted. So we were saying that if we were to get them then we would need to keep up with them, and then asking our self if it was worth the money... Of course it is! Lol, so in the midst of our conversation she said, "Uhm I'm going to put that on my booji list." I thought it was hilarious and it stuck with me! So please do not take the word Booji offensive because it was not meant to be put in a cocky context. With that being said the Booji List is a place where you can go to find the WHAT'S UP product, awesome HONEST reviews, and subscribe to my YouTube Channel for a tutorial on it while you are at it. I am your personal GURU because I will read your comments and take your feedback and give you all what you want.

I am elated to start this journey & you coming with me

<3 Merilyn
