GLAM SHOPPING BEAT: Get Summer-Gorgeous, No Muss, Little Fuss. The 10 Best Beauty Products to Help You Stay Fabulous. FASHIONTRIBES BEAUTY & SHOPPING BLOG
Glam Shopping Beat by Lesley Scott:
When it's sticky, hot & humid, few activities sound less appealing (or glamourous) than wearing lots of makeup. However, no fashionista worth their girlie-girl salt wants to face the world completely barefaced, so the solution is to do some beauty homework ahead of time, and be rewarded with low maintenance gorgeousness in public. The routine:
- Self Tanner. Apply a few times per week throughout the summer (remember to exfoliate first). If possible, slather it on before bed so it has sufficient time to sink in.
- Water, water & more water. Looking dewy depends on being properly hydrated, particularly during the sweaty months; why not take this excuse to indulge in a beauty-from-within potion like Borba Beauty water...who wouldn't be that much more inclined to drink up when it's a "beauty treatment"?
- Sunscreen from hairline to toe-tips. Frost your skin with a generous layer every day, and remember to reapply every few hours religiously if you're active and out in the sun for a stretch.
- Sweat-proof cosmetics. With glowing, sun-kissed skin, you're already well on your way to effortless gorgeousness. For normal, non-beach days, smooth on a tinted moisturizer that's light in texture but hardcore in the SPF department (like the SPF 30 version from Juice Organics) is your skin's summer BFF. Brush on some bronzer in place of blush, add a touch of lipgloss & mascara, a dab of a light summer fragrance, et voila!
- Ace Accessories. A hat goes without saying, and with so many cute ones in the market, it's fun to practice safe sun. And because you've been so diligent, reward yourself with a cute new makeup bag to tote your summer essentials.

I am a HUGE fan of those mist sunblocks... "fresh cooling" sounds like the perfect beach thing.
Tips and tricks for bathing suit shopping (never easy!) in case you're interested. I found it helpful!
