12 Stand Out Beauty Products for Summer 2013

Posted by Alexandra C. | Wednesday April 24, 2013

As I mentioned in the recent round up of 6 must-have oh-so-incredible summer beauty collections, summer is clearly the best season for beauty. Winter fashion and products tend to be heavier and darker. Thankfully, right around this time colour comes back in full force! It's a breath of fresh air after a long, dreary season of black and grey.

Not only do we have more colour, but foundations aren't as heavy and have a more natural feel. Sandy neutrals on a minimal face come back into style. Plus, I have one word for you: bronzer. My love for bronzer knows no bounds. With all that, comes a ton of great buys.

I found 12 new and gorgeous summer items that fit the bill. I don't know about you, but I am absolutely dying to get my hands on these:

1. & 2. Stila Countless Colour Pigments (C$29.00, each)

3. & 4. Stila After Glow Lip Colour (C$24.00, each): They glow in black light!

1. Yves Saint Laurent Marrakesh Sunset 5 Colour Eye Shadow Palette (C$72.00)

2. Clarins Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Balms (US$24.50, each): Pigment and gloss in one tube!

3. Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Summer 2013 Glossy Stain (C$36.48)

1. Chanel ‘L’été Papillon de Chanel’ Inimitable Waterproof Mascara - Limited Edition (C$36.00)

2. Chanel ‘L’été Papillon de Chanel’ Le Vernis - Limited Edition (C$27.00)

3. Giorgio Armani Bronze All-Over Palette (US$88.00)

4. Giorgio Armani Maestro Foundation (US$62.00): The first of it's kind, this foundation has a pigment oil-suspension formula to perfect skintone and give a flawless finish.

1. Laura Mercier Folklore Collection Illuminating Eye Colour (US$24.00, each)

2. Smashbox Heat Wave Eyeshadow Palette - Limited Edition (US$48.00)

3. Smashbox Heat Wave Lip Gloss Set - Limited Edition (US$29.00)

There are 2 versions available for $56/9.5 grams of product. The heavy silver compact it comes in is also really beautiful, and a nice mini kabuki is also included for that price. I'm going back to purchase the other one too. Most women don't bother considering how much product their getting for the price & choose 'cheaper' options that are actually more expensive per gram. Makes no sense at all. Always look at gram weight or ml when shopping for cosmetics, skin care & hair care products, otherwise you're not getting your money's worth.

I'm more of a natural girl and don't know just the right way to apply some of these brighter colors. We need to have something that shows us just the right way to apply some of these brighter colors with out ended up looking like a clown, witch I'm afraid I would end up looking like.
