Dianna's Picks: Summer Beauty Essentials

Summer Beauty Essentials
We've been taking turns here on the blog sharing our summer beauty picks (see what Team BB writers Lauren, Sophia and Ashley are loving), and now it's my turn. While I don't have much time to devote to my beauty routine these days, I've been able to focus on fewer products that are hopefully better, and yes, a bit more expensive...but I'm in my mid-thirties now, so it's allowed. Here's what I've been using this summer that I think you'll love, too:

Sophia’s Picks: Summer Beauty Essentials

Team Budget Babe's Sophia shares her summer beauty essentials.
If you're like me, the summer heat makes your hair frizzy and your face oily; two things that are a girl's worst nightmare. Even though I love competing with friends to see who can get the tannest during the summer, I prefer the winter months because that's when my hair and complexion looks its best. I always carry a few products in my tote so that throughout my day I can freshen up without spending hours in front of the mirror. Here are five products that save my life during the summer and that are currently in my tote bag. Number three is my favorite...what’s yours?

Ashley's Picks: Summer Beauty Essentials

Ashley's Summer Beauty Essentials
As the seasons change, so do the contents of my makeup bag. In the summer months, I pare everything down to simple basics and focus on taking care of my skin, which means rarely wearing a full face of makeup. I like keeping things light and easily manageable, making sure I can spend as much time as possible with friends, out in the sun and making memories. A handful of products can keep me glowing, moisturized, protected from UV rays and looking effortlessly gorgeous. I never run out of these fave five products and even keep a few extras in my purse and yoga bag. Read up on my summer beauty essentials, try a few and see if they make your top 5!

P.S. Let me know in the comments section if any of these are your beauty favorites too!
