Aveda Cherry Almond Travel Set
Who needs 2-in-1 hotel shampoos when you can easily take this Aveda Cherry Almond set on your vacay? We love that it smells gloriously of delicious cherry bakewells while sweet almond oil softens and nourishes dry strands without weighing hair down. The result? Bouncy, healthy hair no matter where your holiday takes you.
A favourite among makeup artists (and us!), MAC's Strobe Cream cleverly toes the line between a highlighting primer and radiance-boosting moisturiser. Use it on its own with a slick of fiery red lipstick to enhance that holiday glow, underneath foundation for evenings out or just tap lightly on cheekbones for a subtle, targeted sheen. A multitasking gem.
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure
You'll only need a light dusting of this finely-milled blush to instantly perk up your complexion. We're smitten by its ability to impart luminosity without glitter particles, plus it doesn't sit in fine lines and works beautifully as a rosy eyeshadow too. Don't be fooled by its size, this little compact will see you all through summer.
Paula's Choice Clear Moisturiser SPF30
If the heat is causing your complexion to break out, try this lightweight moisturiser by skincare expert Paula Begoun. It promises to keep skin balanced, reduce shine and protect from environmental aggressors with a formula that contains soothing chamomile, antioxidant green tea extract and broad spectrum SPF30 to keep sun damage at bay. Pesky spots don't stand a chance!
Is there anything more satisfying than a spritz of face mist to cool down in the heat? This one by Fresh takes it a step further by promising to set makeup, soothe sensitive complexions and boost hydration with its glycerin and chamomile oil-infused formula. Oh and that gorgeous scent? It's pure rosewater - no artificial fragrance or drying alcohols here!
Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil
This scented oil by Nuxe is well-loved by the GH beauty team for its ability to leave skin delicately fragranced, intensely hydrated without any greasy residue and create the illusion of glowing skin even if we've been indoors all day. There are so many ways to incorporate this oil into your routine but we especially love adding it into our body lotion, into e bath and on the dry ends of our hair!
Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm 6g
Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm 6g
Instead of lugging your entire makeup stash, try switching to multiuse sticks. One with a creamy formula like Clinique's Chubby Stick promises to make it easy to blend onto cheeks, create a soft stain on lips and you can also try dabbing lightly onto eyelids for a modern monochromatic look that's easy to do and completely on trend! A peachy coral like Robust Rhubarb will give a pretty, fresh-faced effect that beautifully complements a tan.
