Dior Lip Glow Color Reviver Balm: A few days ago, I was rummaging through a forgotten handbag and came upon this little miracle balm. Yes, it’s one of the now many, many products out there that’s color-adjusting to your own skintone (like Smashbox O-Gloss and Sally Hansen Lip Blush). But I like this product because it’s a nice matte finish, ultra-hydrating, and the gorge packaging doesn’t hurt. And neither does the SPF!

Bobbi Brown Beach Body Oil: The name says it all! If you can’t make it to the real beach, this yummy body oil is a pretty nice consolation prize. The fragrance has transportive powers… Go on, smell it! You’ll know what I’m talkin’ about.

$28, Nordstrom.

L’Oreal Bare Naturale Mascara: I always like a lighter touch, makeup-wise, in hot weather. Because, well, it gets REALLY hot in New York. Makeup-melting-off-your-face hot! So, less is more, and definitely in the case of mascara! I love this mascara because it basically just looks like your own lashes (not spidery, not weirdly crunchy)… but better.

Nars The Multiple Bronzer in Tuomota: I’m not really a bronzer girl, but this stuff gives the perfect amount of blushy, bronzey glow. It looks really pretty for outdoor summer parties, and as stupid as this sounds, it makes me feel like a summer mermaid! I use it on my cheeks, eyelids, collarbones, a dab on my forehead….I guess I use it everywhere!
