What kind of beauty are you interested in these days? Summer always brings a bit of playfulness to my makeup and hair, but when it’s hot outside, even the most durable products can’t hold up. Fun, easy, and sweaty, this is the magic formula. Today, we’re sharing three of Cup of Jo’s editors’ favorite summer beauty picks right now.
Janelle’s selection: CeraVe moisturizing cream
“Throughout my 20s, I used high-end moisturizers from department stores. But during my second pregnancy, my skin became so dry that the face creams that had worked before felt like they sat on top of my skin instead of sinking into it. After looking into more expensive moisturizers, I was very disappointed. I couldn’t justify spending $50 on a small jar that would only last a month.
“Finally, I contacted a friend who has eczema. If anyone knew the answer, she would. She recommended it.” CeraVe moisturizing cream — a classic thing to put in the bathtub — said it completely transformed her skin. Now, after using it daily for two years, I too have witnessed the magical power of CeraVe. It always feels like my skin has drank a glass of water. The cream doesn’t clog my pores and even on hot, greasy days, my face never feels shiny and looks dewy. One bath will last for at least 5 months. When people compliment my skin, I’m always surprised that this simple moisturizer takes center stage. ”
Joanna’s selection: Tart cheek plump and tube mascara
“I walked in the mirror the other day and my face looked…gray. I needed a pop of color. Here are two great products I discovered recently.” plump cheeks and tube mascara. My dry (perimenopausal) skin can sometimes have some blush left on it, but this one is rosy, dewy, super lightweight, and buildable, so I only need a few swipes for a natural look. Have you ever tried tube mascara for a date night? Wild! It’s applied like regular mascara, but since it wraps around your lashes in a tube, they instantly look longer and thicker. The best part is that it keeps your eyelashes apart without any clumps. So it looks like you’re awake. I’ve been hearing about tube mascara for years, but I never really understood it until now. ” bonus: Tarte is having a summer sale Bestsellers from $5 to $25 until tomorrow morning.

Kelsey’s selection: Christophe Robin shade variation mask in chic copper
“I don’t have my hair professionally colored; it’s too much work and expense for me, but I’ve always loved playing around with colored shampoos and conditioners. This Christophe Robin thing The best I’ve ever found. A perfect low stakes color product. Simply apply this after shampooing instead of your regular conditioner, leave it on for 5 minutes, and then rinse it off. end!
“The mask revitalizes the hair, brings out auburn highlights, and adds warmth and richness to your natural hair tone. The effect isn’t as dramatic as the dye, but that’s what I love about it. It doesn’t require any prep work, and it doesn’t require gloves or special care (I’ve never made a mess in the bathtub). And while it’s one of my pampering products, the fact is that I do it quite a bit.” there is nothing It feels like a special treat when paired with my hair. It’s just a little bit of energy, but it gives me so much energy. ”
