5 Summer Beauty Products You Should Always Have in Your Purse

I apply my makeup early morning, so by the end of these brutal heat-wave-days, it seems as if I’ve been wiped clean (or worse yet- totally absorbed it all into my skin). I want my beauty routine to be about ease, with freshness being a top priority. Summer beauty may be different, but shouldn’t be a chore. With these five products in constant tow, we can readily beat the hot summer days and look gorgeously invigorated even at night!
1. No one’s face is naturally shiny, and this is why I love a matte bronzer. This (above) Tarte Matte Waterproof Bronzer, $29 via Ulta.com, can defeat the humidity that seems to want to challenge every bit of bronzer you brush on. Plus, this doubles as a contouring powder-score!

The Latest Launches from Elizabeth Arden
This week I attended the exciting launches of Elizabeth Arden’s Beautiful Color Eye Shadow Collection and Visible Difference Skincare regimen which came out this month. Held in the gorgeous terrace of the Red Door Spa, I learned that the Beautiful Color Eye Shadow Collection, comprised of both singles (32 total shades, $18.50) and duos ( s$28.50) not only are incredible colors and crease-proof, but also include skincare! Vitamin A minimizes the look of fine lines and wrinkles while Vitamins C and E neutralize free radicals from destroying skin cells in the sensitive eye area.
The new Visible Difference Skincare regimen is customized to your skin (oily, combination or dry) with products to cleanse, tone, treat, and moisturize. Since my skin is dry, am perfect for the Gentle Hydrating Regimen that removes dirt and impurities so that it’s easier for the skin to retain and absorb moisture. There are also some additional skin treatments that can be used, regardless of your custom kit such as brightening eye gel, eye cream, masks, and primer. After testing these products, women saw a difference within six days – now that’s remarkable!
You can purchase all Elizabeth Arden products, including the new ones mentioned above now at department stores nationwide and at ElizabethArden.com.
