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!
