Nars Lipstick, $30 - this lipstick is very moisturizing but also strongly pigmented for longer lasting wear.  I have this in 'Rouge Basque' (warm red) but will also be on the lookout for a cooler shade for moody winter sizzle!

Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme, $5 - a life saver for nail gnawers and brittle cuticles. How did I survive before I discovered this product?

Despite having a ridiculous beauty stash, these are the ones I wore almost every day this summer.
