"I hope you always have a shell in your pocket and sand in your shoes."

Ahhh!  Sunshine, sandy toes, shells in your pocket: the promise of summer begins to coax the winter-weary masses out.  Here's some products for instant summertime fab!


Summer is all about on-the-go easy, chic.  Every product I've picked is meant to make you fabulous with minimal effort.  When you're done, throw on your favorite shades and some island jewelry for an effortless summer look.  At the bottom of this post is a link to an easy summer make up look!
DKNY Be Delicious Perfume: My recent fragrance obsession.  Many perfumes are too heavy for Spring and summer, but this one is light and fresh blending cucumber, white muguet, violet, magnolia, apple, grapefruit, tuberose, woods, and rose.

Burt's Bees Radiance Body Lotion: My all-time favorite moisturizer.  This thin lotion is super moisturizing, absorbs quickly and instantly gives your skin a radiant look and feel.  Because its so light, you aren't left feeling slimy or greasy when summer temps have you..."glistening".  To boot, it has a heavenly smell that lingers all day. 

Aveeno Positively Radiant Tinted Moisturizer: This moisturizer will give you light coverage with a just a hint of tint, with the added bonus of SPF 30.  Just enough coverage to mask imperfections while letting your natural beauty shine through.

Secret Clinical Sport Deoderant: Keep your underarms dry and odor free throughout the day, or a killer beach-body workout.  This "clinical strength" deo has a minimal, neutral smell so while you sweat you don't walk around smelling like a field of flowers, a bottle of baby powder, or some cheap cologne.

theBalm Bahama Mama Bronzer: This matte bronzer is lightweight and has some serious staying power... and won't melt off my face during the day.  Everyone looks better with a little sun-kissed glow!

Sun Bum Continuous Spray Sunscreen: This stuff is the best.  End of story.  Sprays on easy, perfect light, non-greasy "texture" and has a great beachy-smell.
Sex Wax lipblam: From Mr. Zogs Sex Wax Surf Board wax.  This Lip Balm is awesome! SPF 23, smells great (coconutty-light menthol... freshness) and it stays on your lips throughout drinking, light snacking, or catching a wave.

Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Spray: This spray is wonderful and smells like pure-summer.  "Beach Babe has everyone fooled into thinking you just left the beach (you little liar!). It adds sexy, tousled waves and a light matte finish to any hair type."
Essie Polish: You can't go wrong with Essie, and with all the toe-baring opportunities we are giving in the summer a pedi is a must.  My summer choices are turquoise and caicos and Action.  Although I'm on the look-out for Essie's summer collection: "Bikini So Tiny".*
Stila Lip Glaze Lipgloss: I love this gloss... Natural, long-lasting, non-sticky.  The sheer finish gives you just a pop of color that's just perfect for summertime.  Pictured is Grapefruit
