LIQUIFIED MELTED LIPSTICK
VIOLET-TONED SUNLESS TANNER
Orange you lovely? Not anymore, thankfully! Organic sunless tanning company Norvell just introduced Venetian™ – a new sunless formula with a unique combination of violet and brown tone bronzers, designed to mimic the sought-after skin tones of the Mediterranean region. The time-released micro-capsules also binds moisture within the skin and feel free to breathe easy – the advanced DHA odor encapsulation molecules ‘trap’ and virtually eliminates sunless tan formula odors!
MANICURES GET A MAKEOVER
Genius alert – wave goodbye to manicure mistakes! The Julep Plie Wand serves as an extended nail polish handle, twisting, pivoting, and bending to help you avoid slip-ups–especially if you’re painting with your non-dominant hand, you know, the one that looks like a 6-year-old polished your nails! You can finally nail that at-home mani, sans 20-minutes of cleanup.
SERUM / OIL HYBRIDS
Wake up to beautiful skin with new The Body Shop’s Vitamin E Overnight Serum-In-Oil, a technical innovation combining the power of a serum and oil to indulge, replenish and recharge skin with moisture overnight – with a non-greasy, won’t-stain-your-pillowcase formula!
SILICONE-FREE SPRAY MAKEUP PRIMER
Say hello to a brand new makeup category – the makeup primer spray. SKINDINAVIA’s The Makeup Primer Spray is applied as a fine mist that preps your face as an oil-free canvas for long-lasting makeup wear. Best part? It’s lightweight, breathable, but most importantly silicone-free! It’s also loaded with vitamins, antioxidants and is clinically-proven to soothe redness, prevent breakouts and control the appearance of oil, even out skin tone and reduce large pores over time. Our beauty prayers have been answered, dump that thick pore-clogging gel once and for all!
CLEAR WATERPROOF EVERYTHING GEL
This is the ultimate summer makeup savior, a revolutionary clear, waterproofing gel that bonds, seals, and waterproofs any powder makeup, loose pigment, loose shadows, micas, and glitter. You can mix Anastasia’s Beauty Genius with loose powders to create your own waterproof eyeliner or use as a primer before applying eye shadow, glitter, or lipstick!
GEL FOUNDATIONS
Formulated with Buoyancy Gel™ technology, Marc Jacobs Beauty Genius Gel Super-Charged Foundation is the summer foundation! The gel formula features Soft Focus Powder that reflects light to minimize imperfections, while revitalizing multi-vitamins provide supreme hydration without a cake-with-icing-at-the-beach look.
INVISIBLE SWIMCAP
On hot summer days, there’s nothing more satisfying than a dip in a cool, refreshing pool. Chlorine – and UV rays – however, can wreak havoc on hair, leaving locks dry, brittle and even green! Who wants to wear a rubber plug on their head, though? That’s where Philip Kingsley Swimcap comes to the rescue. Swimcap is a leave-in deep conditioning treatment that shields the scalp and strands from the elements. Developed at the request of the United States Olympic Synchronized Swimming team to guard hair against constant exposure to chlorine, it defends against not only chlorine, but also sun, salt water and wind, preventing breakage, dryness and discoloration. So go ahead, dive headfirst!
OVERNIGHT TANNING MASKS
CHEEK OIL
Hydrating, nourishing, and argan oil-infused, Josie Maran’s Argan Infinity Lip and Cheek Creamy Oil starts as a cream and melts into an oil for a pop of natural-looking, never-greasy color. The formula is 97% natural and petroleum-free. This awesome new category will be a more luminous swap for your tired cream blush and give you a pop of dewy, natural color!
GILDED TATTOOS
Temp tattoos just got an upgrade this summer! Gold leaf body tattoos are trending this summer and getting the look is as easy as wetting a sponge – just like when you were a kid. While the Dior designer faux baubles are sold out, you can still nab the look at other retailers, including Forever21.
REUSABLE HAIR COLOR
Why didn’t anyone think of this before? So psyched L’Oréal Paris has introduced Superior Preference Mousse Absolue – the first-ever automatic and reusable hair color. Mousse Absolue’s dual chamber canister is the most sophisticated packaging ever from L’Oréal Paris and with just one push, the perfect ratio of pure color dyes and a powerful color developer is automatically mixed into a rich, non-drip mousse that allows for a smooth, no-mess application. The no-mix, reusable system keeps color fresh and allows for seamless root touch ups or multiple applications on shorter hair – pretty smart – and perfect for quick, effortless summer root touchups to match carefree tousled beachy hair.
POST-SUN SHOWER GEL
Guinot’s Gel Douche Soleil removes sunscreen and ultraviolet (UV) filters while neutralizing the harmful effects of saltwater and chlorine, which can wreak havoc on your skin – and your fake tan, too!
