- Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Hair Cream (Travel Size)--My favorite summer hair style is beachy waves, and I love using this to get them! It's stronger than a spray (see spray below) and I use this to add texture to my braids as well. This smaller size is perfect for summer travel and it smells AMAZING (available at drugstores, ulta, walmart, online). $3
- Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm--For those of us not into sticky glosses or lipsticks, try these. You don't even need a mirror to apply. I love this bright pink, but it comes in several colors (available at walgreens, kmart, online)! $3
- Aussie 3 Minute Miracle--This has so many uses and smells SO good. I use this before going into the sun or water. I use this after the sun or beach/pool. I turn this into a leave in conditioner by adding 1 part conditioner to 3 parts water into a spray bottle. I even use this to shave with (available at drugstores, box stores, online). $4
- Essence Sun Club Matte Bronzing Powder--If you're looking for an inexpensive matte bronzer, try this one. I even use it as shadow, a root cover up, or to fill in brows. It comes in two shades, and it smells like coconut (available at ulta and online)! $5
- Sinful Colors Polish--These are really cheap and come in plenty of colors. I like this peachy pink, which looks great on fingers or toes! Paint bobby pins with this polish to add a fun twist to summer hair styles (available at drugstores, box stores, and online). $2
By the way, Not Your Mother's now has many of their products in travel size! These are only $3 and are perfect for your summer adventures. Thanks, NYM for these!

Great tips! I just bought some of the Not Your Mothers beach spray and I am not really sure how to use it. My hair is fine so I am afraid that it will weigh it down. Any good tips? Thanks! Susan
ReplyDeleteI recently started getting the Not Your Mother's stuff and I actually love it! I'll need to try the texturizing cream though! Love the Sinful colors too!

I love the NYM products! I have the Aussie miracle and use if when my hair starts getting to dry. Where did you find the Essense brand?
ReplyDeleteI want to try the Not Your Mother's brand, I haven't used it yet!
ReplyDeleteI love me some Sinful Colors!
ReplyDeleteI love Essence but have never tried the bronzer. Good to know it's a good one:)
ReplyDeleteI have to try that lip balm! I rarely wear actual lipstick but I do like some colour and lip gloss just doesnt work for long periods.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with #3 I use it almost every time I wash my hair and it leaves it so soft! I will have to try #2!
ReplyDeletenice i want to try that lip balm! xo jillian - cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteI need to get my hands on that texturizing balm - my hair desperately needs it and I've been searching for a well-reviewed one!

I have one bottle of Sinful colors and it's 24/7
ReplyDeletethese look like great products! new follower from me, http://maybemayhemmakeup.blogspot.com.au/
ReplyDeleteThat lip balm reminds me of the Clinique Chubby Stick, which is an absolute favorite product of mine… will keep my eye out for this more affordable version!
ReplyDeleteI love the Not Your Mothers Beach Texturing Spray but I've never tried the cream! Adding it to my must-try list!
ReplyDeleteThe travel items for NYMB stuff is going to be on my list for my upcoming trip!! Love the nail polish color too!! thanks for sharing as always!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Elle! I'll have to try that not your mothers texturizing cream and see if it works better for me than the salt spray!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try that texturizing cream and pretty polish color!
ReplyDeleteI will have to look in to that beach babe I like to play up my waves in summer as I do not blow out my hair but many of the beach sprays make your hair look dirty which does not work for the office.

Really like the hair styling products and also adore the colour of the nail polish - perfect for summer and tanned skin! x
ReplyDeleteI still have not tried the Aussie 5 min miracle, but now I must. I love a good leave in conditioner and what an excellent tip on the pre-sun treatment! Off I go!
ReplyDeleteI really need to get my hands on the Jordana lip balms. I keep hearing such great things about them.
ReplyDeleteI doubt any of these products are available here but hey, we'll be moving to Canada end of this year so hello, wider selection of makeup! LOL!

I'm a sucker for all things travel size :-) will have to try that texturizing cream. I used to use that Aussie three-minute miracle forever ago, but had forgotten about it! Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteLove this post and love inexpensive products. Will have to try the lip balm!

I love the 'Not Your Mothers' texturizing line!
ReplyDeleteLove&Clothing
Wow. Nice selection dear. I love carrying sunscreen and matte powder for summer look.
ReplyDeletehttp://naturelbellefemme.blogspot.com
Do you apply this texturizing product to wet or dry hair? I recently bought the spray and used it in my dry hair and it didn't do much but I might have used it wrong?
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE Sinful Colors nail polishes! They're one of my favorite brands... so many colors and so cheap!
ReplyDeleteHooray summer! I want to buy all of these, but I think I NEED the lip balm. My makeup routine needs a little pick-me-up!
ReplyDeleteOooo great essentials! :) The hair texture cream
ReplyDeleteI have Jordana lip pencils and really love them! I'll have to look into those lip balms! Great post!
ReplyDeleteI just got a little travel size of the Not Your Mother's Beach Babe cream and can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteJayme @ Her Late Night Cravings
I do like the Not Your Mother's Dry Shampoo. It's no batiste but its pretty good.

I love this post idea!
ReplyDeleteOh I love these post because it makes me want to buy stuff, I'm glad you brought it back. :) But yeah I really love the aussie 3 min miracle, I used it when my hair was really long and it always made my hair feel healthier again. But now that my hair is short i don't really use it but you gave me some new ways to use it so I'll be sure to try those methods out because I didn't know you could use them that way
