Here’s what’s earning my affections this summer. Between city travels, backwoods camping, sweltering gym sessions, gardening, and blazing sun + pool days, these have been hard at work, meeting my needs with copper glowy skin and sun pinched cheeks.

Foundation has been out of commission, it’s just not worth the time right now, I don’t need it and it looks odd over my deeper summer skin color. Keeping its rank at my #1 all time most used base is the Saie super glowy gel in Sunglow, which I have in full size for home and a travel size for on the go. It’s divine. A sheer bronzy glow that works as well on its own as it does with makeup. It’s hydrating but not sticky, never pills, and always looks radiant and healthy, but not metallic. It helps my concealer stay flexible and stable, and because it’s a gel in a pump, I never worry about travel woes like melting, breaking, leaking, or being too heavy.
