July and August always look a little different for me beauty-wise. Less makeup (it just melts right off in the heat anyway), more streamlined routines, and of course an ongoing SPF obsession - which annoyingly never makes it into these posts because the bottles get tossed the second they’re finished.
Note to self: I promise I’ll save the sunscreen empties next time, even when travelling.
That’s what I love about doing these roundups every two months: they’re a true reflection of real life beauty usage. Not press drops, not pretty flatlays, but the actual products I’ve reached for, squeezed the last drops out of, and (sometimes) already reordered. Some are old faithfuls. Some were slow burns that surprised me. And others? Let’s just say I’m happy to have tried them, but we won’t be rekindling the romance.
