I love having coffee outside, even if it’s just for 15 minutes before my kids wake up, so you won’t find me blow-drying or doing elaborate makeup on summer mornings. This time of year I’m all about pared-back beauty with help from efficient multitaskers, like Buxom’s lip liner, which makes my lips look fuller and has a velvety matte texture that can double as lipstick.

High SPF and more radiant skin? Yes, please! Naked Sundays SPF50+ Collagen Glow 100% Mineral Sunscreen gives me two things I’m always chasing: Serious sun protection that’s a pleasure to wear (so I don’t mind putting it on each morning) and a luminous finish. This mineral sunscreen is a rich, tinted cream that is more flattering than a lot of other sunscreens (or even moisturizers!) because it wears more like a radiant tinted moisturizer.

Body moisturizer is a summer staple—something I usually rush back to the bathroom to put on before leaving the house. Which is to say, it’s never top of mind for me, but something I hurriedly use to make my legs look presentable. I usually reach for a super simple body moisturizer for daytime, but every now and then you might want your body moisturizer to feel less utilitarian. That’s where Truly Vanilla Baby Luxury Body Oil comes in.

An elegant summer serum, Luna Nectar Neptune Hyaluronic Acid Hydrate & Blur Serum is lightweight and refreshing. It leaves skin feeling smoother and more hydrated with hyaluronic acid, and has antioxidants (like green tea) that might offer additional free radical protection when layered under sunscreen. I like to apply it over clean skin, and top with sunscreen. You can sandwich moisturizer in between, but this serum is so hydrating, you might not even need it, especially in the summer.

I don’t usually reach for lip liner every day—or even once a month—but Buxom’s is so easy to use and the results are so gratifying that I’m reconsidering my routine. While some pencils are dry—they skip and feel uncomfortable—Buxom Power Line Plumping Lip Liner is creamy with an angled tip that maneuvers easily around the Cupid’s bow and corners.
