I’ve never been a huge fragrance connoisseur but have slowly been testing new-to-me brands that I’ve fallen in love with. My love for fragrance has been growing steadily with all these new introductions – especially my summer scent collection. Today’s post will be a breakdown of all the perfumes and body mists that I will be wearing this summer.

My Summer Fragrance Collection

Body Mists

Lake & Skye 444 Sunkissed + Monoi Hair & Body Mist (discount code: MAREE15)

While this isn’t exceptionally long wearing, I was obsessed with this scent all last summer. It’s the perfect warm weather fragrance. Top notes are bergamot, strawberry, pineapple. Middle notes are jasmine, raspberry, solar and coconut. Base notes are musk, sandalwood and cedarwood.

Phlur Peach Skin Body Mist

I’m a huge fan of peachy scents though don’t own that many because I rarely find ones that I love. This is a velvety scent that smells like a juicy peach with a bit of warmth. Not too sweet and not too tart. Top notes are peach bellini, plum, peach skin and bergamot. Middle notes are white freesia, vanilla orchid and jasmine nectar. Base notes are milky sandalwood, sheer amber and coconut caramel.

Orebella Nectar Dew

I didn’t realize that I was a fig lover until recently when two of my newest favorite fragrances both happen to contain fig! This is a hair/body mist which is perfect for the summer but doesn’t last as long as traditional perfumes. Even though it isn’t as long lasting, the scent is a fresh fruity floral that feels light and airy. Top notes are bergamot, cassis, pear nectar, lemon and fig. Middle notes are orange blossom, princess peony, pink pepper and freesia. Base notes are tonka, musk, sandalwood, sweet praline and vetiver.

Perfumes

NOYZ Rinse Cycle

I’ve only tried two fragrances from NOYZ  but both became instant favorites. They offer a bit more unique scents that are still easy to wear. As the name suggests, this is designed to evoke the smell of fresh laundry. That may sound a bit odd but trust me it’s absolutely divine!! It’s a fresh, clean musk scent that is easy to wear all year round. Top notes are guava, anoj pear and lemon. Middle notes are cherry blossom, musk flower and pink waterlily. Base notes are liquid musk, sandalwood and vanilla bean.

Commodity Milk Orchid

I never thought I would be into creamy or milky scents but this made me want to try as many as I can. It’s another new-to-me fragrance brand that made me an instant fan after smelling this scent. It’s a floral gourmand without being too powdery or overly sweet. Another great year round scent though I can definitely see myself wearing it regularly all summer long. Top notes are fig milk and coconut cream. Middle notes are vanilla orchid and magnolia. Base notes are macadamia milk and sandalwood.

NOYZ Only Human Fragrance

This is described as a skin-hugging gourmand which honestly sounded a bit odd when I first read it. Then I smelled the fragrance and felt it was the perfect description! It’s one of the most unique scents I’ve tried yet still became a favorite almost instantly. I will be repurchasing this the minute it runs out. It’s not overly sweet and delicate enough to wear in the warmer weather though it will transition perfectly into the colder months as well. Top notes are pink pepper and italian bergamot. Middle notes are waterlily and bamboo. Base notes are vanilla bean, ambroxan and cedarwood.

Snif Only Sunshine

While the prior three perfumes in this roundup are easy to wear year round, this is a summer-only scent. It’s the perfect tropical fruit scent that evokes all the feelings of summer. It’s a fruity floral with a touch of the ocean. Top notes are mango, papaya and sea breeze. Middle note is orange blossom. Base notes are amber and musk.

Ellis Brooklyn Guava Granita

Much like the last fragrance, this is a warm weather scent exclusively. It’s tropical and fruity which is not something I reach for in the colder months. As the name suggests, it’s a tropical fruit heavy scent with a creamy dry down that makes it softer and more feminine. Top notes are guava juice, banana, bergamot and tropical waterlily. Middle notes are cavaillon melon, coconut palm and mango blossom. Base notes are vanilla, sandalwood and amber musk.

Dedcool Xtra Milk

The only way to describe this fragrance is a no fragrance fragrance. It’s very lightweight and smells differently on everyone’s body chemistry. Wear it alone or layer it with other scents – either way this universal musk perfume is a cult classic for good reason. I wouldn’t only wear this during the summer but it does develop nicely on the skin especially in the heat. Top note is bergamot. Middle note is white musk. Bottom note is amber.

I wear sunscreen every single day whether it’s sunny outside or not. It’s a skincare non-negotiable for me. Finding complexion products for mature skin can be challenging because not all formulas are compatible with mature skin because of it’s texture, dryness or dullness. Recently I have been testing out a handful of different tinted sunscreens to wear as my everyday foundation or complexion product and found some great formulas that would be beautiful for mature skin.

Even though these tinted sunscreens provide adequate and substantial sun protection on their own, I usually still layer my daily sunscreen underneath for added protection. You don’t necessarily have to do that. But in order to apply enough sunscreen to get the proper protection I usually find that it’s too much product for me when it comes to tinted sunscreens. My solution is to use my regular sunscreen underneath and my tinted sunscreen as my foundation or skin tint. Here are 6 tinted sunscreens that I love for mature skin.

6 Best Tinted Sunscreens For Mature Skin

Bloomeffects Tulip Dew Sunscreen Serum SPF 50 (discount code: Maree)

This sunscreen has been a staple in my routine for nearly a year. For those with dry or mature skin types, this is truly one of the best sunscreen serums I have ever tried. It leaves your skin nourished, glowy, plump and supple. If you want to reapply sunscreen throughout the day (you definitely should) there is also a stick version of this which is so easy to carry with you! The Bloomeffects Tulip Dew Sunscreen Serum is a 100% mineral broad spectrum SPF 50 with a lightweight serum texture. It provides protection against UVA & UVB rays, pollution, blue light and free radicals.

Out of all the sunscreens in this list, the Bloomeffects Tulip Dew Sunscreen Serum gives the sheerest coverage. It can’t even really be described as coverage but more like a slight pigment that helps to even out the skin tone and color correct. For those who really want the least amount of coverage while still getting a gorgeous luminous finish, this is fantastic option. I usually wear it underneath my foundation or skin tint. But on days that I don’t want to wear any makeup but still want to reduce redness and give my skin a bit of a glow, this is what I reach for.

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50

I’ve heard so many great things about this tinted SPF so I’m not sure why it took me so long to try it – but I am HERE NOW FOR IT!!! I can now understand why this has so much buzz surrounding it because the formulation is 10/10. This is a tinted SPF that goes on white and then transforms into a skin tone shade when you blend it in. The coverage is sheer but can be built up slightly to really even out the skin tone and conceal small imperfections. The finish is dewy which I personally love because my skin is more dull and dry these days. But it may not be a good option for those with oily skin.

I have to mention that the product is marketed as having a demi-matte finish which I don’t really agree with. There is a slight velvety look to the finish which is nice for helping give the face a smooth finish. But for me it is more radiant than matte. It wears beautifully throughout the day and also works well underneath makeup as a great base or primer. There are only six shades available so not very inclusive. But the tint is designed to be more self-adjusting rather than an exact match.

Naked Sundays BeautyScreen SPF 50 Peptide Foundation Tint

This is an Australian brand and honestly if there is one country that understands sun protection – it is Australia! This is a thin and lightweight tint that gives sheer coverage but enough to wear as your daily makeup. It’s formulated with peptides and squalane so it delivers skincare benefits while also providing a light tint for everyday. If you have sensitive skin, this may be a great option. It has different ingredients in it to help calm and soothe the skin. There are 15 shades available in the range with a good mix of fair, medium and deep tones.

It states that there is a demi-matte finish but I did not find that to be the case. There is a definite radiant satin finish to this tinted SPF. So it’s great for those with dry and mature skin. It provides moisturizing properties so you could use this as both your moisturizer, SPF and complexion product for the day. It is not as dewy as some of the other formulas in this group. So it could work for oily and combination skin types too. Though you may get a bit shiny in the t-zone throughout the day.

Merit Beauty The Uniform Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 45

Merit Beauty has been hit or miss with me but this tinted mineral sunscreen was an instant hit. It is gorgeous and truly feels undetectable on the skin while still giving amazing coverage. This formula is not as dewy as some of the others in this list so it would be great for almost all skin types. Though I still think something with oily or combination skin may need a setting powder for the t-zone. But for those with mature skin types (dry, oily, sensitive, etc), this is a must try! It gives much more coverage than I anticipated. So I like to start with a small amount and build up as needed since the formula is more on the buildable side.

It has some blurring properties which I immediately saw as soon as it was applied. And it makes the skin look smooth, even, and has a velvety-like radiant finish. It is extremely long wearing and looks great at the end of the day with little to no separation. The shade range is better than most of the other options on this list though there are only 15 shades total. It ranges from very fair to very deep with an impressive extension throughout.

Missha M Perfect BB Cream

Even though this BB cream gives medium to medium-full coverage, it manages to feel like I’m wearing nothing on my skin. Additionally, it is one of my longest wearing foundations! How it looks in the morning is exactly the way it will remain until the end of the day. This BB Cream is one of the longest wearing complexion products I own.

It gives my skin the creamiest and smoothest finish while also providing sun protection. If you want to wear a full face of makeup but still get great sun protection, this formula is the one to try. The only downside to this is the limited shade range but that is not enough to deter me from using it. I usually mix two shades together but since it is such an affordable price point, I am willing to go that extra step.

Versed Skin Multi-Serum Skin Tint SPF 40

Lightweight and skin-like, this tint evens out the complexion perfectly while also providing SPF 40 sun protection. Initially this looks like it will be very sheer and provide little to no coverage just based on how thin the liquid looks when you first pump it out. I was shocked when I went to apply it and found it gave much more coverage than I was anticipating. In between sheer and medium is where the coverage falls but you can definitely build it up slightly if needed.

The finish is natural with a slight luminous glow. It makes the skin look healthy and fresh without being too dewy or shiny. Additionally, the formula is designed for sensitive skin with tons of great skincare benefits.
