Five Summer Beauty Essentials:

1.  Cleansing Wipes- these cleansing wipes are strong, yet gentle.  Not only will they quickly breakdown even the toughest makeup, you can also use them to quickly cleanse your brushes.
2.  Oil blotting papers- An innovative polymer film that absorbs oil without disturbing makeup.  Keeps your skin fresh, matte and shine free.  Perfect for your purse or pocket.
3.  Lip conditioner SPF 15- not only does it protect your lips from burning, but it is drenched in anti-oxidant rich Pomegranate!  The lips do not have the natural protection of melanin, so it is even more important to use sun protection on them daily.
4.  Waterproof mascara- A must for summer sports.  This formula has the unique ability to hold a curl. Use Lash prep first to prime the lashes, curl and then apply the mascara.
5.  Cream to Powder Cheek color- try a cream to powder formula which will be much more forgiving on those hot, melt your makeup days.
