Our Editors' Top Beauty Buys For Summer
As the seasons change, so do our beauty routines. We're finally able to bid adieu to wintertime super-moisturizing and hat-mussed hair, and wave hello to lightweight SPFs, dewy lipglosses, and hair products that let our inner beach bums free. If your medicine cabinets are as unprepared for the warm-up as ours, you'll want to take a peek at what Refinery29 editors are looking to cop at beauty counters this weekend. Check out our top makeup and beauty picks for summer!
Christene Barberich, Editor In Chief
Ellis Faas Skin Veil with SPF 15—"I'm not big into foundations, but I do love a product that mixes moisturizer, color, SPF, and a little glow all in one. As luck would have it, this new amazingly lightweight Skin Veil does it all, including minimizing the appearance of any pesky fine lines. Plus, the flushy-nude tint is just right for summertime."
$65, available at Space.NK.
Martin Margiela Untitled Fragrance—"I recently read about Martin Margiela's new scent in a magazine, and while I generally don't fall for the fragrance flavor of the moment (I'm mostly an Aqua Di Parma girl), I'm definitely going to rotate this woodsy-musky scent in this summer."
$140, available at Saks.
Jason Apricot Scrubble Wash—"I recently picked this up at my local health food store, and it's kind of a mini wonder. Without being overly abrasive, it really does the job of sloughing away dead skin and polishing up that dull winter complexion. It's great for smoothing your upper arms, too."
$6, available at Web Vitamins.
NARS Multiple in Maui—"I know I'm so boring including this, but seriously, there's no better makeup deal on the market. The Nars multi stick in Maui is all you need to apply a rosy touch of color anywhere on the go. And the finish is really smooth and even, so the look is incredibly natural. I love it!"
$39, available at Sephora.
Nudist Supernatural Lip Shine by Well People—"I'm really into this new non-toxic lip shine by Well People. It has a funky, herby scent and the Nudist Shade #5 has just the right purple-pink tint. I also love that it's super moisturizing and healing since my lips are dry year-round."
$23, available at WellPeople.
Nude Hydrating Water—"I am addicted to all Nude products, but their Hydrating Water is especially crack-like. It's great for cooling sun-damaged skin, it hydrates with prickly pear, and it's almost better than an espresso for an afternoon pick-me-up."
$20, available at Sephora.
