Summer's elements (namely UV rays and chlorine) are brutal on hair. Dryness, frayed ends, faded color — the results ain't pretty. Enter IGK Blocked Water-Resistant Hair Shield, $29, which contains water-resistant waxes that act like a swim cap to protect hair. Comb it through wet or dry hair before braving the great outdoors.
Not every day has to be a deep, dark smoky eye moment. For the times you're feeling a little lighter and brighter, try the Maybelline New York Lemonade Craze Eyeshadow Palette, $10.99. With twelve fun shades (shimmery bronzes, warm browns and gold, every kind of pink), you'll be able to create countless sunny looks that feel fresh and springy.
If your skin is still suffering from a dull, winter hangover, upgrade your moisturizer to Kiehl's Glow Formula Skin Hydrator, $38. Pomegranate extract shields skin from harmful free radicals, glycerin hydrates and illuminating ingredients add a quick dose of much-needed radiance.
Heavy, cakey powders are a nightmare in hot weather, but summer shine is a real thing, so...what to do? Our favorite new solution: Marc Jacobs Beauty Finish Line Perfecting Coconut Setting Powder, $44, a whisper-light translucent formula that contains coconut and cocoa butter to keep makeup looking fresh, not dry and chalky.
Native is one of the only natural deodorant brands we've found that actually works, so we're very psyched for its new scent, Matcha, $12. The herbal, green-tea fragrance is the perfect find for those of us who aren't big on the whole baby powder or cloying floral thing.
