THE HEAT IS ON

With the humid air and warmer temperatures soon approaching, we can’t help but lust after fun, vivid colours, moisture rich products and melt-proof makeup. Here, five products we can’t live without.

If dry summer heat has your lips suffering, try Icedteas by DuWop, $21. These sheer bullets moisturize with jojoba oil, protect with SPF and cool puckers with a tingling effect. Our lips can’t stop smiling. Available at Shoppers Drug Mart.

For those of us who weren’t born with a creamy, golden complexion, Mark. Instant Vacation Costa Rica Gradual Tan Moisturizer, $10, is just what we need. It’s a slow-building tanner so there’s no fear of going from white to orange in one shot, and the fresh scent has us dreaming of a tropical getaway. Available at www.avon.ca.
