SUMMER SHADES
Our new essentials for the season
BE SPOKE SKINCARE
Seasonal shifts mean a change in skincare—after all, who wants to slap on a heavy cream when it’s 40 degrees outside? We are addicted to the seriously hydrating Clinique Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly. The formula sinks right in, protecting skin from pollution and strengthening the moisture barrier. Even better, try the brand new CLINIQUE iD (P2650), where you choose an active cartridge for a specific skin concern (uneven skin tone, fatigue, etc.), and mix it with your moisturizer formula ( jelly, cream or gel) of choice for custom care.
LIKE WATER
We like using thick, clumpy sun block, said no one ever. BIORÉ UV Aqua Rich Water Essence SPF 50+ PA++++ (P488) is a watery-gel formula that packs powerful sun protection. Slap on the necessary amount and guaranteed you won’t feel the extra layer, no matter the temperature or humidity level. With a delicate citrus scent and moisturizing hyaluronic acid, it’s a sure winner.
NAI L IT
Summer is sandal season, so keep your toes looking pretty with ANNY Nail Polish (P995). We like the wide brush that picks up the right amount of color and the opaque, streak-free coverage we get with just one swipe. Also, Anny doesn’t test on animals! Our picks for the season? The vivid orange of Mr. Crabs and the cool sea blue of the Sea You Soon.
HEAT WAVE
One of our pet peeves when traveling is a weakling hotel hair dryer. Pack pint-sized power with the VS SASSOON 1200W Foldable Dryer (P1350) so you’re never left with half a hairstyle. Lightweight, compact—and did we mention powerful? Even with just two heat settings and a single speed set, it dries and styles hair fast.
BOTTLES UP
In case you haven’t heard, it’s really time to we try to eliminate single-use plastic from our lives. Keep yourself hydrated, do your bit for the environment, and look cute all at once with the BKR glass bottle (250 ml P1750, 500 ml P2350, 1L P2950). Its small mouth makes it easier to drink out of and a leakproof ergonomic cap makes it easier to tote around. Plus, its thick silicone sleeve, which comes in an array of adorable colors, keeps it safe.
