I've spent a good amount of time this week lounging by the pool and there is nothing worse then feeling your makeup slowly sweat off!

I like to keep makeup pretty light but I always do some basics.


First, I take this trial sized Coola mineral sunscreen that I got in my February Birchbox and apply it all over my face. I love this stuff so much! It doesn't make my face feel oily and rubs into a powder finish. It works well under makeup and doesn't move around its rubbed in. I will definitely buy a full sized bottle for the summer!

Next, I do some light makeup. I don't like leaving the house without at least putting on some color correcting concealer, mascara, and do my eyebrows. I went with my Nyx color corrector which has been a staple for my this past month, Benefit's Roller Lash for my mascara, and Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow pomade for my brows.

The last step I do is to put some lip balm on my lips because they get pretty dry in the sun.

What are your beach / poolside essentials?

See you soon!
