Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade
So my eyebrows need some help normally, but they get super bleached out in the sun, so I like a little something. But I don’t want to be messing with greasy pencil or powder that will wash off as soon as I swim. This Brow Pomade is nice and waxy looks super natural and lasts. Love it.
Clarins Sunscreen Care Oil Spray Broad Spectrum SPF 30
I love this stuff. It is an oil, but not super greasy and protects my hair from the salt water, chlorine and sun- plus it gives my scalp and all around my ears the spf that it needs. If I am lazy enough I can then slick my hair back into a bun for dinner. Plus this stuff smells good.
Brazillian Blowout Anti-Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner
I have become obsessed with this stuff. If there is one thing I majorly suffer from. It’s frizz. This is like a brazillian blowout in a shampoo and conditioner.
This is an old favorite of mine. I can never get enough and have several colors, but my old standby is the rosy tint.
Coola face sunscreen, spf 30 in cucumber
Pete and I discovered this on accident in Las Vegas and now I am addicted. It’s organic, it’s lightweight and not greasy and it smells amazing!! This is one of a handful of sunscreens that I feel like I can put on and then normally apply makeup afterwards without everything getting weird and streaky and cakey. The cucumber scent is an added bonus, although I also own unscented.
This is my favorite body sunscreen right now for all of the same reasons as I love the face stuff- plus MANGO!! I like a good strong sweatproof sunscreen (I am a MAJOR sunscreen conoiseur). Pete prefers the body spray.
Bite Beauty High Pigment Lip Pencil
Even on the beach you have to have a little bit of glamour, right!!? This is my favorite lip right now, specifically in the color Corvine. OBSESSED.
St Tropez self tanner mousse and mit
I am honest to God like a professional at this. I have been blue-white pale my whole life and can not go in the sun. I have never even been a ray worshipper, but I still had a Melanoma scare at 30 and seriously have not been in the sun since (even for 5 minutes) without insane sunscreen and a huge hat and rashgaurd. (Yes, I look crazy). Anyways, that is all to say that because of all that, I have been applying self tanner since I was 14. That is 21 years- I know my stuff. This is my favorite. Apply it with the mit.
Nars Blush/Bronzer Duo (orgasm/laguna)
My favorite Blush is orgasm from Nars. I love that this is a dup with an added bronzer which I really like. Great for throwing in my bag and adding a bit of color if I need some!
Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Medium/Deep Matte Bronzer
This may be more for going from beach to lunch or drinks or dinner, but it is an awesome bronzer!! It is matte so you don’t have the whole crazy sparkle-disco thing going on, just nice golden color.

Heather, Love this post! I hear you on the frizz, especially with summer humidity.
Love this post- thanks! I can’t wait to try that sunscreen, as I hate the texture & smell of most face sunscreens.
love this post. thanks for the tips!!
Oh, that Bite Beauty lip pencil looks lovely! I find that during summer you can definitely scale down your makeup routine, especially if you’re going to rock the bright and bold lip colors.
Heather – love, love, love this post! These are all great picks. I’ve been using Clarins suncare products since before they were cool – they are all excellent. They make a great self-tanner, too. Lately, I’ve been cheating, though, and using a sunscreen I got while staying at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, CA – Avene Eau Thermale High Protection Cream SPF 50. You can get it tinted and it is very reasonably priced.
I am obsessed with the Fresh Sugar Lip in rose! I have it in multiple places so I’m never without, lol. Very fun list and some new things for me to try!
