Best Tinted Moisturizer
During the spring and summer when I hit the beach or pool, I love wearing Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer with SPF20. This moisturizer was awarded by In Style “Best Beauty Buy”- Best Tinted Moisturizer- in April 2009 and Allure Editors' Choice “Best of Beauty” in October 2008 and 2007. This tinted moisturizer gives me the coverage I need along with a radiant glow. I can’t help but be a fan of its hydration surge and long lasting wear. Wave good-bye to your countless bottles of SPF, moisturizer and foundation because here is the all in one product that will protect, hydrate and perfect. Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer is the absolute beach bag must-have!

Best Waterproof Makeup
Keeping your beach look simple yet naturally flawless is what most women want. It seems like an easy concept, but finding that "must-have" waterproof makeup can be a beauty challenge. They say, “the eyes are the window to the soul”, so let’s focus there! Fabulous water-proof mascara is a true beach-babe necessity. Looking like a wet-raccoon is certainly not an option. Define-A-Lash Volume Water-proof Mascara by Maybelline is a beach goers dream. This mascara is ultra-flattering, water-proof, doesn’t clump, to separates lashes and open up your eye area. Their water-proof formula is contact lens safe and hypoallergenic. Sweeping the mascara brush upwards from the root will help achieve your desired lash definition and volume. Now, it's time to bat those sassy lashes! Cute lifeguards - be on the lookout for some “come hither” eyes!

Just Relax!
After a long week of work it’s best to escape to the soothing sound of waves crashing on the beach. I especially enjoy getting up early on the weekend and heading out while there’s still an early morning chill in the air. This weekend ritual starts with waking up, throwing on my Next by Athena gear, putting my locks in a low ponytail and heading out the door. Of course, I stop by Starbucks on the way! Finally, it is my time for me. We all need some quality alone time and the beach is the best place for it. Sometimes, I even get a short workout in by running up and down the sand – the Match Point Crop Pant by Next is good for these workout sessions. Overall this beach excursion allows me to be alone, enjoy the beautiful ocean, and even get a workout in. Now, go and get some much deserved beachside relaxation!

Best SPF
This spring, the best SPF comes from your closet: I’m talking safari jackets, maxi dresses, and those chic raffia fedoras that’ll be everywhere this summer. So, before we jump into full-fledged bikini season, and the full-body sun-coverage it entails, let’s focus on the face. I personally like sneaking in SPF where I can, via spiked moisturizers and makeup. It makes sun protection a year-long ritual rather than a seasonal one. And some cosmetic options are better than others but I suggest Glomineral makeup for the upmost results. I’ve been using this and it literally shields my skin from damaging UV rays. Gotta love those multi-taskers!
