on June 19th, 2012Later this week, it’s supposed to get up towards 100 degrees in DC. Yikes. Time to grab your fave summer beauty products that beat the heat and a cold, cold drink. I’ve been keeping things pretty simple these days, with the most amazing concealer by Perricone MD (seriously – read this post by my friend Kara on her blog Politics of Pretty for more info) and tinted moisturizer. Plus, some blotting paper to combat shine and eyeliner that won’t melt. But to check in on what everyone else is loving, I took to twitter and got some great suggestions for new products to try! Be sure to follow the beauty-savvy ladies below on twitter (and check out their blogs – they all rock).
1. @TheYuppieFiles: Clinique’s City Block Daily Face Protector - lightweight so I don’t feel gross in the DC humidity but still great coverage. And SPF! / 2. @EmPri88: I’m loving my new @lorealparisusa infallible eyeshadows! / 3. Perricone MD No Concealer concealer / 4. @DrNoelleSherber: Loving 1-step summer skincare - @CaudalieUSA Vinoperfect Day Perfecting Fluid SPF15 is full of antioxidants & has a glowy peach tint. / 5. NARS eyeliner / 6. Stila One Step bronze / 7. @keheinze: Clarisonic with Clinique face wash and Revision Skincare tinted moisturizer with SPF… it’s wonderful. Super light for DC summers! / 8. Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer / 9. Shiseido blotting paper / 10. @byAimeeSki: Lightly covering my face in baking soda – my face feels so fresh afterwards.

Big fan of the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer! They make one for oily skin that I use in the Summer to get a more matte look and it helps with the heat!
Do you like the Dr. Perricone concealer? I have been reading excellent things about it lately, and I really want to try it out, but it’s $$ so I’m trying to find as many positive reviews as possible! How is it standing up to the heat so far? Maybe I should ask you again at the end of this week, haha…it’s going to be SO NASTY.

p.s. congrats on your new job!
I really love it – it’s smooth, covers great, & has lots of benefits (like vitamin C, Neuropeptides to minimize fine lines, and SPF 35). I definitely recommend! And thanks!!
I got that Stilla bronzer in my Birchbox too and I love it! I definitely wouldn’t have bought it myself, but I’m using it a ton!
I actually just got the Stila one step bronze in my last birchbox and I would never have bought it, but I actually really like it now! I’m converted into a fan!
I need to try the baking soda idea!!! Sounds weird at first, but I’m sure it does wonders!
I love all Clinique products as well- and will now def. sign up for Birchbox! Thanks for a great post!
Awesome. ALways love discovering new products and could use a new durable concealer. Gets brutal hot here in Florida!
My go-to things this summer are Smashbox BB Cream and Benefit PORE-fessional – they really work! About the Stila bronzer – do you think it really works well? I saw it at a store and was skeptical…
I always love seeing everyone’s beauty secrets! I’m a big fan of the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, but I really want to try this Nars liquid liner now!
Great list Liz. You know, I’ve been using the Estee Lauder BB cream and I love it.
Love it! I need to try out this City Block! Thanks for the mention :) xoxo
