In the market for a Summer fling? Join the club. But since it's slim pickings among the human variety out there, we've decided to date some seasonal beauty products instead. After all, half the fun of Summer are mouth-watering scents like coconut, watermelon, and rose. Ahead, get a whiff of 15 delicious items that are almost as good as unlimited PTO. (Almost.)
Zoella Make a Splash Moisturising Body Wash
Lychee martinis will do you dirty and inspire you to drunk text your sort-of-hot best friend's cousin at 3 in the morning. This Zoella Make a Splash Moisturising Body Wash ($9) is made with the same boozy fruit, but instead of leading you down a road of embarrassment, this bubbly formula makes you smell like a refreshing cocktail.
Captain Blankenship Golden Waves Sea Salt Shimmer Spray
Just about every sea salt spray smells the same — like a balmy day out sailing, if Titanic didn't completely ruin boats for you. This Golden Waves Sea Salt Shimmer Spray ($28) is no exception. It smells absolutely intoxicating, but it works really well to unlock a natural wave in even the straightest hair.
Sunday Forever Le Coco Coconut Lip Balm
For the same cost as one bottle of the designer coconut water du jour, you can pick up this Le Coco Coconut Lip Balm ($10), which feels so sweet once applied, you could probably live off of eating it. (Though we do not recommend taking a bite out of this beeswax and shea butter mixture — no matter how delicious it smells.)
Yes To Cucumbers Facial Towelettes
Is removing your makeup every night your least favourite beauty ritual? We used to feel the same. Not after stocking our medicine cabinets with packs of these Yes To Cucumbers Facial Towelettes ($6), which are a calming, stress-reducing, and invigorating pick-me-up. Fair warning: do not let your roommate find your stash, or else they'll probably want to steal all of yours. (Looking at you, Caitlin.)
Natura Brasil Nectar Fragrance
This beyond-sexy Nectar ($95) smells like a Summer hookup in a bottle. This mix of citrus and amber sits well on your skin, and something about this sensual fragrance makes it feel more like a natural musk than a heavy perfume. Basically: you'll want one for every bag.
Boracay Skin Gold Shimmering Body Oil
In our minds, we're wearing bikini bottoms cut up-to-there — and nothing else — while sitting poolside on Australia's Gold Coast. Unfortunately, we're spending tonight reheating leftover pizza and trying to go another day without doing laundry. Luckily, this Gold Shimmering Body Oil ($25) mimics an Elle Macpherson-esque glow, and it's a lazy landlubber's dream: the coconut-scented self-tanner dries in seconds.
Jurlique Rose Hand Cream
Not every Summer scent has to be overly sexy à la coconut or sweet like candy. Seasonal fragrances can be for grown-ups, too, as made evident by this Rose Hand Cream ($19). You'll feel like you're a fabulous 74-year-old widow who lives in a mansion full of loving ferrets and fabulous fascinators and has an acre-wide garden.
Milk Makeup Watermelon Brightening Serum
Not even TSA can dull the shine of this portable Milk Makeup Watermelon Brightening Serum ($36), a stick serum that is exactly 0.0 fluid ounces. Not only does the melon work as an antioxidant to brighten uneven skin tone and lessen fine lines, but one sniff will also take you back to old-school family picnics.
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
You've no doubt heard that this viral Brazilian Bum Bum Cream ($45) gives you all the benefits of #bootygains without having to lift a finger. We tried it, and so far Victoria's Secret model scouts are not banging down our doors, but we cannot deny that this caffeine and guaraná-infused moisturiser leaves lackluster legs silky-smooth.
Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Hair & Body Mist
No, hair perfume is not just another gimmick invented by brands to make you buy more sh*t. And yes, you could use some in your life. Specifically, you need this Tuscan Blood Orange Hair & Body Mist ($12) that smells like a fruit salad. If you've ever dreamed of rolling around in a pit of fragrant orange peels (just us?), you'll go wild over this invigorating citrus mist.
CoverGirl TruNaked Scented Eye Shadow Palette in Peach Punch
If only all of our makeup smelled as fresh and Summer-ready as TruNaked Scented Eye Shadow Palette in Peach Punch ($10). You'll want to swipe the opaque colour all over your face once you get a whiff of this fresh powder.
Bliss What a Melon Overnight Mask
The only thing better than sweet-smelling skin care is a product that works while you sleep. The Bliss What a Melon Overnight Mask ($16) is an example of both. Use it when you have a late night, early morning, or combination of both — it will leave your tired face looking like you got your full eight hours.
MAC Cosmetics Oh, Sweetie Lip Colour in Strawberry Torte
This MAC collaboration with influencer Caro Daur is chock-full of 15 liquid lipsticks all named after desserts, like Gum Drops, Sugar Cookies, and Key Lime Pie. Especially seasonal is the Oh, Sweetie Lip Colour in Strawberry Torte ($18), so even if you can't make berry picking this year, you'll feel satiated via the next best thing.
Fresh Sugar Lemon Bath & Shower Gel
Bacne is no match for the brown sugar base of this Sugar Lemon Bath & Shower Gel ($20), which exfoliates so well, you'll feel like you're a butterfly coming out of a cocoon. Oh, and it smells like a tall drink of lemonade.
Voluspa Icon Cloche Cover Candle Rose Petal Ice Cream
You'll scream emoji for this Icon Cloche Cover Candle Rose Petal Ice Cream ($40), which will turn your home into a Mr. Frosty truck.
