Ah, the summer. I just love the summer, especially when it comes to beauty. To me, summer beauty is bright colors, simplified routines, sweatproof and easy to use products. You may have seen my post and video on my Summer Beauty Essentials, so when the opportunity came up to feature Walgreens, I felt like this was the perfect companion to that post. Today I’m going to share with you my drugstore summer beauty essentials! Who doesn’t love wallet-friendly, high quality beauty products? I know I am a sucker. I’ve found some really awesome things that not only minimize time on my routine, are long-wearing, and are on-trend with colors. Get excited!

Drugstore Summer Beauty Essentials #WalgreensBeauty #CollectiveBias #shop

If you’ve been following my blog for any amount of time, you know that Walgreens is my go-to for drugstore beauty. I always find the best selection and deals. I am a sucker for that monthly coupon book and those bright yellow promotion stickers on the beauty aisle!

Drugstore Summer Beauty Essentials #WalgreensBeauty #CollectiveBias #shop

Sometimes I feel like it’s a very dangerous thing that the beauty aisle is right there near the front of the door. Or a very convenient thing, depending on how you look at it.  I can spend a really long time perusing and milling over which products to get. It can sometimes be extremely hard to limit myself! It’s just tough when you’ve got an amazing selection to choose from, and so many different promotions going on. For today’s purposes, I did limit myself, but I know I will be back in July for more…. (how predictable of me)

Now, let’s get down to the nitty gritty of it – the products that I picked up and why I would call them essentials! Oh, and hey… do you notice anything different about the quality of my videos? Mama got a new camera! I am still learning and playing around with it, but I couldn’t wait to use it! Don’t forget to subscribe to me on YouTube if you are interested in seeing more of my face on my new camera! I highly suggest you watch the video if you want to see how I saved $11.65 on my purchase! There’s a specific way I shop for my makeup at Walgreens and I end up saving so much every time! (But that’s in the video, so watch it.)

Produtcts Mentioned:

  1. Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo Eyeshadow ‘Bad to the Bronze’
  2. Jordana 12 Hour Made to Last Liquid Eyeliner Pencil ‘Black Point’
  3. Maybelline Volum’ Express Pumped Up! Colossal Mascara (Waterproof) ‘Black’
  4. Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain ‘Cannes Crush’
  5. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss ‘Pango Peach’
  6. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color ‘Violet Voltage’

And here are some close-ups of some swatches I photographed. Can’t get enough of all of these products!

Drugstore Summer Beauty Essentials #WalgreensBeauty #CollectiveBias #shop

Oh, and before I go, Walgreens is having a Gift With Purchase offer which runs between June 29 through August 30 and allows you to get a coupon by texting a code or visiting http://www.walgreens.com/topic/promotion/beautydeals.jsp for a FREE travel-size make-up brush set. It’s your gift with any $20 beauty and personal care purchase (excluding baby category). Not to mention, there are a lot of deals going on to begin with! Win, win!

What drugstore products are you loving this summer?

    I’m sorry but I just don’t get into makeup. The majority of the days I’m a natural gal and I rarely put on more than eye liner and mascara when I’m getting dolled up. I always go to the drug store for sunscreen and other such items though. Sunscreen is something I should have had yesterday…

    P.S. The new camera looks AMAZING. Seriously. I love it!

      Haha!! You will LOVE the color tattoo, liner (you can find the Jordana stuff over near the beauty check out area hidden…it’s like the beauty secret of Walgreens haha), and polish! I seriously always find THE BEST deals there. The coupon books are by the front door and the baskets. Some months are better than others for beauty, but I usually find that it’s paired with another sale that’s going on (like the BOGO half off stuff). And I’m glad you like my face in HD! I am so happy to finally have something that makes filming not only better to watch, but SO MUCH EASIER to film. You should have seen my previous setup. It was basically a disaster and took 20 minutes just to set up so I could see myself.

    I haven’t tried out that mascara yet, but it looks amazing! I’m so glad you liked the Color Tattoo. I picked some up when I was at Walgreens yesterday but wasn’t sure if it was one of those formulas that would crease everywhere or just rub off quickly. Love your summer look too! #client

      Thank you!!! The mascara is seriously awesome! I love the bristly brush on it. And I seriously can’t believe that I’ve waited this long to add some more Maybelline Color Tattoo into my collection. I have a matte taupe one I sometimes use to fill in my brows, but this bronze one is just gorgeous! They seriously don’t go anywhere. Not to mention I got that sucker for only $3.50 or something crazy like that with the coupon book plus the BOGO half off Maybelline eye products!

I’ve shared how I am really working on my hair h I’ve shared how I am really working on my hair health this year, and I am making great progress! 💪🏻 I’m determined to grow those baby hairs. Restoring postpartum hair loss takes time, but luckily @bondiboost has helped speed up the process. Along with the supplements, I’m also using the Hair Growth System. This system consists of a shampoo, conditioner, Miracle Hair Mask, Elixir Growth Oil, and Intensive Spray. I truly think these products are an amazing complement to my supplements! My hair feels softer, and stronger. Can’t wait to check in later to share my results after a few months’ use! #bondiboostus #boostyourroots [ad]

March 2021 👉🏻 March 2020. What. A. Year. 😭 As spring break kicks off, I keep thinking about how last year we went off to spring break and never came back. These kids have sure grown in so many ways. I’m proud of the girls’ resiliency and adaptability.

We are finally starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel, and are SO looking forward to fun summer plans (once mom and dad are fully 💉, of course)! 

It feels good to have some hope. 🙌🏻

I’ve been using @bondiboost supplements and products to regrow, nourish, and prevent further loss. One product I’ve been taking is the Anti Hair-Loss Supplement, which is perfect for anyone suffering from thinning hair and noticeable hair fall. It’s formulated with Biota Orientalis, which is an herb traditionally used in Chinese medicine to reduce hair loss and thinning. Plus, they’re vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, FDA approved, and made in Australia. In the month I’ve been taking this supplement, I’ve noticed less hair shedding in the shower and when brushing my hair. I can’t wait to see what continued use will do for my hair!
