June means summer Fridays, summer vacations, and, of course, summer beauty products. Whether you're looking to upgrade your scent, revamp your makeup bag, or find your signature manicure shade, we've got a new beauty product to recommend. There's something for everyone hitting store shelves this June.
Summer inevitably brings two things: More time in the sun and a jam-packed social calendar, which can leave us clamoring for sun protection and makeup that makes us our most Instagrammable. So why not get yourself products that can do both?
In our list of vital hair products, hairspray is number one. After all, what's the point of creating perfect curls or a gorgeous updo if it just falls flat an hour later? Hairspray prevents our hair from drooping, but that doesn't mean just any old spray will do. In addition to keeping our hairstyles in place, it shouldn't make hair feel crunchy, crispy or sticky.
Estimate: I spend at least 50 percent of my time by the pool rubbing white streaks off of my swimsuit. For someone who's compulsive about covering every inch of her body -- and that should be all of you -- a sheer sunscreen is a summer must-have. Aside from broad spectrum protection, the most important part of a sunscreen is that it's user-friendly enough for you to want to reapply all beach day long.
Talk about travel stress -- it's usually after our clothes, shoes, bras and thongs have been meticulously packed into every inch of a carry-on that the realization hits: That massive cosmetics bag sitting on the bathroom counter doesn't stand a chance of squeezing in -- even if we hide all the lipsticks in our kicks. So what's a jetsetter (with a major aversion to checked bags, because honestly who has the patience...) to do? Here's the truth: a few easy adjustments to your packing list (like swapping in some hero multitaskers, spill-free skin savers, and fab minis) can shrink your beauty bag and make it adhere to the TSA rules on liquids; plus, add more chill to your travel -- no luxury lost. You might even have some room left over for that fancy duty-free French eye cream.
