With summer in full swing, women are changing their beauty routines to make sure that they are as bright and fresh as the season. To help calm their concerns, Amber Johnson, part of the management team at Sephora in Kenwood Towne Centre, spoke with Cincy Chic to recommend some fantastic liquid products for the summer, all available at Sephora.

 

Making up is (Not) Hard to Do

 

Don't let your fear of raccoon eyes stop you from swimming away your summer. Dive into MAKE UP FOR EVER's waterproof products. Used by Cirque du Soleil's performers, these products will stay on for "a good three days" if you don't remove them with a waterproof remover, Johnson says. With everything from concealer ($30) to lip liner ($17) to mascara ($22) and eyeliner ($17), these waterproof makeup products will stay on, rain or shine!

 

As you swim in beauty with waterproof make up let your nails take part in the fun with Sephora by OPI's Mermaid in the Shade collection of nail polish ($9 each) that is exclusive to Sephora. One of the more popular colors of the collection is Mermaid to Order, Johnson says. This metallic polish blends blue, green and gold into a unique, summery shade.

 

Scents of Summer

 

Many women like to spice up their seasons with different scents, and for summer, many desire a fragrance that embodies a cleaner, fresher feel, so they turn to floral and citrusy notes, Johnson says. One of the top selling fragrances for summer is Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue ($45 for a 1-ounce bottle). "It's not too citrusy, and it's not too flowery. It's just a great mix of both," Johnson says.

 

Another summer selection is Marc Jacobs' Daisy ($57 for a 1.7-ounce bottle). This fragrance leans toward a clean floral with a hint of strawberry so that you have a touch of sweetness without feeling like you're setting yourself up for an insect invasion, Johnson says.

 

If floral fits your fancy, Gucci's Flora ($52 for a 1-ounce bottle) might be what your nose is sniffing for. This fragrance also works perfectly for brides. "This is what I think my wedding day should smell like," Johnson says.

 

Em-body the Season

 

As the bikinis come off the hangers, more and more skin goes public, but that doesn't have to be a scary idea. Bliss' FatGirlSlim ($29) and FatGirlSleep ($38) helps you in your fight against cellulite as it smoothes and firms the skin. FatGirlSlim stimulates your body with its caffeine content. With the caffeine, it's not a product for the night, and that's where FatGirlSleep comes in. FatGirlSleep calms you down with its lavender essence as its other ingredients target your cellulite.

 

That extra skin exposure combined with the greater intensity of the sun leaves many women looking for moisturizers with sun protection. Kill two birds with one stone and save your skin with Bliss' Best of Skintentions Daily Moisturizer ($35) offers SPF 15. Suited for all skin types, this product has anti-aging and oil-control properties. "It works out great, especially for summertime," Johnson says.

 

Even if you protect your skin, you can still have a nice tan with Bliss' A Tan for All Seasons ($36). This spray-on tanner allows head-to-toe coverage and goes on with color so that you can be sure that you aren't missing a spot. When the color fades, you'll be left with a natural look. "It gives you a great tan color instead of orange, which is fantastic," Johnson says.
