No fuss products are what we need for hot summer days at work, the gym, the beach and for our beauty regimen. The lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer are not always relaxing and fun but we need not fret. We can coast through summer with some help from the brands below. We have tried everything here and they all have our seal of approval.
Zoella Sweet Inspirations Body Mist
First, let’s talk about a fragrance that is perfect for summer and perfectly priced ($12.95). Actually, it’s a mist for a subtler approach to fragrance. It’s light and fresh. It won’t cause the headaches that heavy perfumes may cause you or others in the hot summer weather. So there is no need to grab a cold compress just try Zoelle Beauty Sweet Inspirations Body Mist. It is available at Ulta. Ulta details the fragrance as “inspired by the scrummy scent of sweet macaroons, this deliciously chic fragrance will leave you smelling totally irresistible!” Some of the ingredients include (Sweet Almond) Oil, Mel (Honey) Extract, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract. Sounds like a macaroon to me! For Amazon Prime members look for Zoelle Beauty products at Amazon.
Mehron’s Highlight-Pro palettes
For the face and body we love Mehron’s Highlight-Pro palettes. In the hot months forget the foundation and ditch your concealer, black mascara and eye shadow for a more natural look. During the summer days we use a lighter approach to highlighting, brushing the highlighter on the parts of your face where light would hit but not just the cheekbones. Highlighter is the perfect cosmetics product for day into summer night wear. We especially love it on summer nights. We never forget to highlight our décolletage especially in the evening. At night we go a bit heaver on the highlight than during the day.
From Mehron’s website: “Highlight-Pro palettes are formulated with the highest quality ingredients to provide a subtle shimmer and illuminating effect for face and body. This professional pressed powder is perfect for accenting and highlighting areas such as the cheekbones, brows, inner eyes, bridge of nose, cupids bow and décolletage. Available in two palette varieties, cool and warm, each with three varying undertones. These lightweight and long wearing highlighters will brighten all skin tones creating a soft, luminous glow.”

Booty Shawl
This summer I am loving my Booty Shawl . It’s a hip wrap. This season, I am hiding a little extra belly fat (my booty is fine) so Booty Shawl is perfect for that bit of extra coverage when hanging out at the beach house on the weekends. I am wearing it over my shortest solid black biker short (instead of a bikini bottom) and with various bikini tops. It looks great and I feel comfortable and confident. I have the Black Lace Isabella Wrapalini style . Again, I love it!
I also wear it with a tee and ankle leggings, my denim skinny jeans and my yoga pants. For exercise class I am always on the search for tops that cover my lady bits in my tight exercise leggings but with Booty Shawl, I am covered! I can leave it on or just wear it to and from class. I definitely need to buy more colors and styles! I am already thinking of the wear possibilities for Fall and Winter. Patti Breen is the owner and founder of Booty Shawl. @bootyshawl
