Pucker Up
Coral is the hottest lip color this season, gracing such celebrity pouts as Kerry Washington, Vanessa Hudgens and Jennifer Lopez. Whether you're a blonde, redhead or brunette, this sunny color is flattering on everyone. Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipstick in It Girl ($9.99) gives you a long-lasting creamy coral color, and it's packed with shea butter and aloe, so it won't dry out your pucker.
Winging It
Who wouldn't want to rock a perfect winged cat-eye? It dresses up any look with its retro vibe and gives your eyes an instant lift. L'Oréal Paris The Super Slim Liner by Infallible ($8.95) is designed with a superslim felt tip that gives amazing control so even the clumsiest person can create an expertly precise line.
Rested Eyes
There's nothing worse than having people ask, "Hey, rough night last night?" as they get a look at your dark circles and puffy eyes. Keep an instant concealer and brightener like Neutrogena Healthy Skin Brightening Eye Perfector Broad Spectrum SPF 25 ($9.99) in your handbag for instant midday touch-ups to give your eyes a little wakeup call. Bonus: It has chamomile (which calms), vitamin E (which protects), soy proteins (which strengthen) and an SPF of 25!
Hair Apparent
In a perfect world, we would all get professional blowouts every day since every time we try and recreate a salon blowout at home our tresses fall flat. Literally. That was until we started incorporating John Frieda Luxurious Volume Fine to Full Blow Out Styling Spray ($8.99) into our regimens and we found this weightless heat-activated spray gave our hair bombshell volume and a smooth, long-lasting blowout.
Oil Slick
You should always have a pack of Clean & Clear Instant Oil Absorbing Sheets ($4.49) stashed in every handbag, especially during the warmer months. These magical soft films visibly soak up shine without smudging makeup or leaving a powdery residue. Hint: Do not rub the film on your skin; simply blot and you'll see the oil it removes from your skin without disrupting your makeup.
Fresh & Clean
Unfortunately the warm summer months mean we all get a little greasier, bringing unwelcomed enlarged pores, blackheads and blemishes. Instead of buying a cleanser, makeup remover and acne treatment, try multitasking towelettes like Alba Botanica Natural ACNEdote Clean 'n Treat Towelettes ($5.99), which have 2 percent salicylic acid and are free of parabens, phthalates and sulfates.
Orange You Glad
We all want a little sun-kissed look without the wrinkles, but the only way to do that is to mimic the sun with a self-tanner or natural-looking bronzer like Mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder ($12.50). This light bronzing powder gives you a subtle glow without the Oompa Loompa orange. It's got a slight shimmer to it (but not in Edward Cullen territory), and it absorbs oil in the heat.
About Face
Forget those "in-office" procedures that could cost you thousands (and make your face look like the Joker). Try some of the innovative over-the-counter products like the Hydroxatone Essential Beauty Box ($49), whihc gives you the chance to try travel sizes of the brand's best-selling anti-agers: 90 Second Wrinkle Reducer, Revitalizing Microdermabrasion, Advanced Under Eye Treatment and AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex.
