Summer beauty should be effortless and affordable. After all, there are too many sandy beaches to explore, too many cold fruity drinks to enjoy and too many cute, skin-baring outfits to wear to have to worry about a labor-intensive, costly beauty regimen. Luckily I've done some of the legwork for you with recommendations on how to get hair-free skin with the new Nair Moroccan Argan Oil line, to frizz free tresses and a sun-kissed complexion. Check out these summer beauty picks I'm loving – and think you will, too:

When packing for a summer getaway, I try to pack light by keeping my beauty routine simple and my style effortless. That's why I've teamed up with Nair to share what's going in my weekend getaway bag, from my go-to hair removal product, Nair Shower Power Moroccan Argan Oil, to fun, beachy accessories. Just one product gives me smooth skin that lasts for days, giving me the freedom to kick back, relax and enjoy my vacay without having to worry about stubble. Check out the short video above to find out more about Nair Shower Power as well as a few of my other favorite fashion and beauty items that are perfect for a weekend escape!

I recently had the opportunity to try out Her Fashion Box, a monthly subscription that delivers a beautifully-wrapped package of fashion and beauty products right to your door—and all the way from Australia!

Having only ever subscribed to Birchbox, which focuses solely on beauty products, I was eager to try something a little different! Here’s what Her Fashion Box’s website says:

“Every month, you’ll receive a beautifully packaged Her Fashion Box to your home or office! Inside will be on-trend fashion accessories tailored to your style profile, as well as a number of carefully selected beauty products or deluxe size samples from high-end, boutique and cult brands from around the world. Each month will be a different mix of beauty products, ranging from makeup, skincare, fragrances, body, hair, and nail. In addition to your fashion accessory and beauty products or samples, Her Fashion Box will bring you products, samples or offers from premium lifestyle brands that could include things such as gorgeous stationery, luxury candles, beauty or spa services, hair and make-up tools, gourmet food or wine tasters, cute home wares, online products, entertainment and more.”

Sounds fabulous, right? I wasn’t disappointed when I picked up the cheery bright pink package from the post office...unfortunately, I was let down once I dug into my Her Fashion Box. Behind some seriously high-quality packaging were some seriously low-quality products.

Lets open Her up, shall we?

In this weekly column, I’m bringing you my favorite budget-friendly beauty products (and their high-end equivalents!) that are available online and in-store. This week, we’re chatting luxurious foundation (!). Also make sure to check out my blog, HonestlyJamie.com for even more beauty product reviews and tips.

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation has pretty much dominated every foundation beauty award for the past decade, making it a staple in every makeup artist’s arsenal, as well as every makeup fanatic’s makeup bag…but, guys, it costs $62. So what makes it so fabulous? Well it’s oil-free and weightless but also magically really hydrating and makes everyone’s face look like pure silk – I’m not exaggerating – but listen, I get it…it’s a cult favorite, it’s Armani, it’s fabulous, but when I discovered a similar product, I was PRETTY excited, I can’t lie.
