I am shamelessly high maintenance in cosmetic surgery. 10 steps skin care. Punk at home every day. Full makeup and eyeshadow - in the office. But every year, summer becomes a point to completely rearrange my routine. Humidity spoils my thermal styling. Colored sunscreen pushes out even the best foundation. And achieving a glowy tan takes the majority of my attention. For 3 months, I will be easy, refreshing, I will be ready-in-10 minutes type girl.We can do it for you, I think

Such a dramatic pivot cannot be performed without the haul of a large sephora filled with summer beauty staples. So, just before I jumped on a plane and headed for a week on a tropical island, I stopped by a beauty retailer to stock up on essentials. I needed a slick back hair stick and body oil for a beach day; a glowy blush and a clear brow gel for dinner outside; aloe and a soothing moisturizer to keep my skin hydrated after the sun.

Ahead, you'll find all the Sephora summer beauty staples I've personally put to the test. This curated list of 17 products will each receive my personal approval stamp. I promise: they will meet you through long weekends, beach days or European vacations.
