St. Tropez Self Tan Whipped Marshmallow Bronzing Mousse
Sun-kissed skin is the trademark of summer, but if you want to get a head start on the bronzing process without actually spending hours in the sun, try this limited-edition bronzing mousse. It adjusts to your skin tone (so no orange streaks) and just one application lasts for 10 days. Get ready to hear a lot of, “You’re so tan! Were you just on vacation??”
$45
KIEHL'S Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado
Summer calls for an eye cream that won’t run into your eyes—like this Kiehl’s cream that’s been specifically formulated to stay put while hydrating with avocado oil, which is loaded with nourishing amino acids and vitamins.
$30
Skyn Iceland The Antidote Cooling Daily Lotion
The cooling sensation you get when you smooth this lotion on your face makes it a welcome addition to your routine on those extra hot days. The lightweight moisturizer is designed to decongest and detoxify to reduce oiliness, keeping you fresh-faced all summer long.
$45
Benefit The POREfessional: Matte Rescue Mattifying Gel
If all the humidity has your skin looking a little shinier than you’d like (and not from an extra swipe of highlighter) use this mattifying gel to absorb excess oil. And get this—it uses diamond powder to create a poreless effect. (Summer you is fancy.)
$32
Urban Decay Chill Cooling and Hydrating Makeup Setting Spray
How many times have you meticulously perfected your makeup, only to step outside and have it immediately melt off your face? (Thanks for nothing, 90-degree days.) This setting spray uses time-release cooling technology to literally keep your face cool enough to stop your makeup from melting. Pretty chill, indeed.
$33
NARS Hot Nights Face Palette
Jewel tones are great for winter, but summer is all about warm earth tones like shimmery bronze, gold, and pink. Mix and match the colors in this palette to create looks ranging from a plum-hued smokey eye to a monochromatic rose-gold effect that will take you from happy hour to post-dinner dancing.
$59
Living Proof No Frizz Humidity Shield
Humidity can be a good-hair-day buzzkill—unless you have an anti-frizz spray that can handle tropical rainforest levels of steam (for real, it’s designed to deal with 100-percent humidity). Just spritz it on, and you’ll score smooth strands and protection from color-fading UV rays.
$23
Drybar Limited Edition Detox Dry Shampoo Coconut Colada Scent
For the days it’s so hot you’d rather do anything than blow-dry your hair, this dry shampoo will come to your rescue. With a few sprays, your hair will have a volumized, matte sheen, and with the coconut scent, you can pretend you’re on a beach sipping a piña colada instead of sweating on your commute to work.
$23
OPI Make it Iconic Infinite Shine — Strawberry Margarita
What says summer more than a fresh pedicure and a frozen margarita? Answer: When your nail polish color is actually called Strawberry Margarita. Plus, the long-wear formula means your paint job will hold up through all your sandal-clad adventures.
