PricegrabberPricegrabber
It's summer and it's hot, so what should you wear if you don't want a heavy foundation but you need your skin to look even? Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer is a definite summer time makeup must-have. It contains an SPF 20, which even though sunblock doesn't add up when you apply one on top of another it will still help to make sure you are covered. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer gives you skin a slight hint of color, while wearing evenly and being long-lasting as well. It doesn't get into fine lines, due to the hydrating formula, and leaves a nice dewy finish to the skin. Since it's summer time, why not use Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer to give you that summer "glow"?

If you are looking for a little more coverage than a tinted moisturizer, but still don't want to wear a foundation, try the e.l.f All-Over Cover Stick. You can dab this onto the areas you need it and then blend slightly. It's great to use on under eye circles, blemishes, and uneven skin areas. The great thing is that it blends out very nicely so you don't have the blunt demarcation lines on your face.

18. Aveda Uruku Bronzer with Kabuki Brush

Aveda Uruku Bronzer with Kabuki BrushPricegrabber

The Uruku Face Bronzer is a dual-toned bronzer that you can use on your face, neck, décolleté, or anywhere you want instant color. The bronzer contains no synthetic pigments, but powdered urukum pigments instead. The powder also contains good-for-you ingredients, such as vitamin E from soy, antioxidants, and soy emollients.  Enough with the technical info though. The color is gorgeous and leaves your skin looking naturally sun-kissed.  Oh, by the way, the two-toned kabuki brush is one of the best brushes that I have used to date.  The best thing is that you get both together in a nice little set, along with a pouch to store either the powder or your brush in (or both).

19. Nicole by OPI Red-y to Runaway Love?

Nicole by OPI Red-y to Runaway Love?Pricegrabber

If you love color and really cute names, then you're in luck because Nicole by OPI has one of the best true red shades that I've seen called Red-y to Runaway Love from the Bieber collection. Nicole always has a wide variety of ultra-cool polish, but I think they may have outdone themselves with this fabulous true red shade. This summer you won't want to forget you nails, especially your toes, so why not show them off this gorgeous color? Of course if red is not your thing then that's okay too because the Bieber collection from Nicole offers tons of great fun shades, perfect for summertime or anytime.

Tria At-Home Laser Hair Removal SystemPricegrabber

The newest technology in hair removal has made it to a store near you. The Tria At-Home Laser Hair Removal System is a wonderful little gadget that actually zaps away your hair, leaving you with a smoother leg for summer. You do need to find time in advance to use it, since it initially requires 20 minutes per applicationa area, once every two week for six week, but it leaves you with less hair growth. The hand-sized device actually lasers away your hair, just like at the doctor's offic, and it is very comfortable to use (even on your bikini line). After approximately six months the areas treated will be hair-free.  So since you want to spend more time playing outside and not shaving, then the Tria System is a definite summer must-have.
