Summer Makeup Tutorial: Featuring Bora Bora Quad from Be a Bombshell

When August rolls along we all know Summer is coming to an end. My cousin lives in Georgia and her children started back to school this week. Yikes. Fall doesn’t officially begin until September 22nd. I’m trying to squeeze out as much Summer as I possibly can. LOL!

Warm Weather Beauty Must Haves (so far)

I started off using these products during the Spring and continued into the early part of Summer. It was easy for me to reach for items especially when I was pressed for time.

Warm Weather Must Haves

  • Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist
  • Flat Bronzer Brush – Crown Brush
  • Angled Eyeliner Brush and Spoolie – Crown Brush
  • Elizabeth Mott Smooth Shadow Pencil – Pearl
  • Lorac Oil-Free Wet/Dry Powder – WD5
  • Maybelline Face Studio Master Glaze – Plums Up
  • NYX Gel Liner and Smudger – Brown
  • MAC Lipstick – Heaux
  • Benefit they’re real! Mascara
  • Maybelline Color Sensational the Buffs Lipstick – Untainted Spice

Warm Weather Lipstick  I liked Heaux lipstick because it was a great way to brighten up my look especially when I didn’t wear a lot of makeup. Untainted Spice is easily a nice everyday lip color.

Warm Weather Face  The Lorac Oil-Free Wet/Dry powder was my go to foundation for when I was rushing in the morning. Depending on the type of coverage I applied dry for more sheer coverage. I applied wet for more coverage spraying the brush with the Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist. I also used the wet/dry makeup as a setting powder whenever I wore liquid foundation. The Flat Bronzer brush made it easy for me to apply the makeup.

Warm Weather Cheeks  The Maybelline Master Glaze blush gave me a nice natural glow. Color really looks great on darker skin tones.

Warm Weather Eyes  Benefit they’re real! Mascara gave me nice long full lashes without needing to wear false eyelashes. I used the Elizabeth Mott shadow pencil in Pearl on my water line to brighten up my eyes. The two of these made a nice combo.

Warm Weather Brows  The NYX Gel eyeliner was an affordable alternative to filling in my eyebrows. The color lasted all day too. I used the angled eyeliner/spoolie brush to fill in my eyebrows.

Be a Bombshell Purchase from ipsy

Every Tuesday at 12:00pm (EST) ipsy has a different beauty deal. The Tuesday deals don’t last long. I came across the Be a Bombshell Summer Lovin Set for only $20.00. Knowing this deal could sell out I purchased this set without hesitation. Being an ipsy subscriber was my first exposure to the Be a Bombshell brand. I have really liked the products I’ve been receiving from Be a Bombshell in my ipsy bag.

The Be a Bombshell Summer Lovin Set included:
