My Recent Beauty Favorites That You Should Know About

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Tampa chapter.

Recently, I’ve been super into trying a bunch of new beauty products to see what works best and to help define my favorites. It has definitely been a long period of trial and error, but there are a few trusty products that I will always rely on. From makeup to body mist to shampoo, these are some of my go-to’s that I highly recommend you try out!

 

Sun Bum Chapstick

As someone who goes to college in Florida, I’ve been tanning almost everyday at this point at my apartment’s pool. I have super sensitive skin, and have found a bunch of sunscreens that I like, but finding an SPF chapstick was always difficult. Sun Bum’s SPF chapstick has saved me this year, and is definitely the best I’ve tried. They do their job, and the flavors are spot on!

 

John Frieda Purple Shampoo

I have gotten so many compliments on my hair after I started using this shampoo! It’s been a minute since I’ve redyed my blonde hair, and this purple shampoo has been a savior in keeping it as blonde, bright, and shiny as possible. When I use it consistently, my friends ask me if I dyed my hair again- it’s that good!

 

Sol De Janeiro Body Mist

I am OBSESSED with this body mist! It smells just like summer and is the perfect spray that isn’t too strong, but still lasts all day. I’m usually not into sweet scents, but this is a game-changer for sure. I would highly recommend this as an alternative to your typical fancy perfume. 

 

Glossier Mascara

This mascara is perfect for a light and airy summer look, or is great to layer with for a darker nighttime look. It isn’t clumpy at all and goes on extremely smooth. It’s very universal, and will fulfill all of your needs!

 

Drunk Elephant Face Oil

I got this face oil as a tester with another product, and have been obsessed with it ever since. My face gets super dry easily, especially from the sun, and this is the perfect oil to add some extra moisture overnight.
