The summer heat has arrived and with this new sticky weather, so comes our latest beauty picks for summer’s spiciest month. Among our six new picks (or recent re-discoveries) are a lash-lengthening mascara, the perfect cleanser (especially for whisking away sunscreen and sweat) and a hyper-real highlighter. Here’s our latest can’t-live-without essentials.

adding length to my stubby lashes

is always the goal, but most mascaras refuse to stay put on my oily lids. Between the lasting formula and the tapered brush that grabs every wee hair, this affordable buy extends my lashes and doesn’t budge.

I’m always raving about cleansing

but it’s rare I fall hard for a face wash... until I met this gently exfoliating one. It leaves my skin mega soft, hydrated and positively glowing every morning and is full of gentle enzymes that smooth and brighten my complexion with each rinse.

My craggy-looking hands have been rejuvenated

in record time! Lasting hydrating is just the beginning, this lightweight blend of Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide also brightens & plumps the skin on an often neglected body part.

My damaged hair always needs tlc.

This pre-shampoo treatment removes calcium from the hair to give it a strengthening, repairing boost. Every time I use it my mane is significantly softer and shinier, which is no easy feat for this bottle blonde.

For next-level luminosity,

I use a dab of this magical fluid. The skin care-y base of squalane, sunflower seed oil and HA, mixed with ultra-fine, light reflecting pigments, achieves a lit-from-within glow that’s never overdone.

Another day, another blush obsession.

Packed with 70% skincare ingredients, this blush is so. dang. pretty on the skin. I love every colour but this perfectly peachy pink is my fave. The dewy finish has to be seen to be believed.
