Summer Lovin': The Season's Hottest Beauty Products

Although a lip balm, this product acts as a lipstick and lip gloss in one, making it great for traveling.  Clarins released the balm in four shades:  rose, mandarin, plum, and berry. The lipstick portion is highly pigmented, and the surrounding gloss adds a nice finish and effectively moisturizes lips. (Clarins)

This eye shadow palette offers nine shadows with a range from very shimmery to matte.  It's an excellent beginner’s palette that is budget friendly and offers multiple color combinations.  A "glamour guide" is included to demonstrate ways to use the shadows to create a variety of looks like "day," "classic," and "fashion." (Too Faced)

As the name suggests, this bronzer did not exaggerate the large-pored areas of the face, but rather gave an appearance of smooth skin where applied.  Because it is fragrance and oil free, it won’t irritate even the most sensitive of skin.  An extra bonus is that the bronzer is matte, so it won’t add additional shine to oily-skinned women. (Too Faced)

The MUFE Aqua Cream is very easy to apply using fingers, which makes it great for travel.  Color is extremely pigmented.  The waterproof composition guarantees long-lasting pigmentation and I was pleasantly surprised to find no creasing even on a warm, humid day. (Make Up For Ever)

This gloss promises to “boost volume instantly,”and it actually delivers!  Lips are plumped slightly to give a fuller, natural appearance. Like most lip boosters, there’s a tingling sensation when applied, but it is not overwhelming. Although pricey for a lip gloss, I was very pleased with the results. (Dior)

This eye pencil is super creamy and highly pigmented with rich metallic color.  It gives off a shimmery glow that can serve as a base or be worn alone. (MAC Cosmetics)

This waterproof mascara really gives lashes more volume and has great staying power. (Estēe Lauder)

This bronzer is perfect for those who want an all-over glow.  In fact, the compact is jumbo-sized to make sure it lasts you all summer long!  The lighter of the two shades has a nice rose undertone while the darker shade has a bronzed undertone. (Bobbi Brown)
