    Hot In The Hive: Too Faced Lip Bronzer

    Just because summer is drawing to a close, it doesn't mean you need to ditch your fab summer glow and banish all your tan-enhancing products to their train-case storage. In fact, there's one place that might have been neglected by your bronzing beach days -- your lips! While the idea of a tan is certainly summery, the bronze-y shimmer of this Too Faced Lip Bronzer is completely fall festive. The tropical flavors and scents may have you nostalgic for poolside days of your recent past, but the three pretty golden-based shades and skin-soothing conditioners never go out of season! Plus, as a compulsive buyer of all lip gloss, especially shimmery versions of natural hues, I can't help but be on board for this sun-kissed take on the nude lip!


    Price: $17 each

    Hot In The Hive: UVSunSense Sun Monitor Wristbands

    Time flies when you're having fun in the sun. One minute you're happy as a clam, playing volleyball or reading a book on the beach, the next you're stomping down the aisles at Walgreens in search of aloe for that gnarly sunburn you've earned. You already know that too much sun exposure is harmful, and you've had enough peeling shoulders in your time to recognize the importance of sunscreen, but even the most seasoned of sun-baskers have a hard time keeping of track of their last sunscreen application or even knowing exactly when it's time to call it a day and take cover. Enter UVSunSense sun monitoring wristbands. Worn on your wrist in addition to a nice slathering of SPF 15 or higher, the band's surface changes color to alert you when it's time to either slop on some more sunscreen or find the nearest shady spot ASAP. Sure, they might be a pretty dorky-looking excuse for a bangle, but they look a heck of a lot cooler than a blistering lobster complexion!

    Price: $6.89 for a pack of 7

    The Hottest Lotions And Bronzers For Soaking Up The Sun (Or ...

    I don't know about you, but as unhealthy as the sun's harmful rays are, I have a hard time staying out of the sun on those blessed days when it actually decides to come out of hiding and make an appearance. After all, who can resist a fresh sun-kissed glow (when it doesn't start out as a gnarly burn, that is)? Luckily for us sun-hungry bathing beauties, plenty of our favorite top-of-the-line cosmetics lines have hopped onto the bronzing bandwagon and offer loads of options when it comes to getting that summer-worthy warm color sun-free, faking it on a day-to-day basis with natural-looking bronzer or shimmery body makeup, and sunscreen and after-sun lotion for safer outdoor basking. From Lindsay Lohan's anticipated new self-tanner Sevin Nyne to a Tarte bronzing stick made just for channeling those sun-toned summer legs, sun-free is always safer, but you can still be smart and play it safe while in the sun without having to stay winter-ashy all summer long! Check out the slideshow for the full collection of our favorite sunny and sunless products of the season!

    Summer Style: Self-Tanners for Under $10 Guaranteed to NOT ...

    I can't tell you how many times I've heard friends say they won't try self-tanning because they're scared of streaking or turning orange. But what they don't realize is that self-tanning products have come light years since the days of Tang-tinged skin and tiger stripes. The advances over the last few years have ushered in an array of products that will leave even the most timid girl a believer. I myself happen to be a self-tanning addict. I'll slather the stuff on like body lotion and not give it a second thought. And while I'll be the first to admit I might have the occasional uneven application or dark spot, I've never had a day where I couldn't show my face (or arms) in public, even with my haphazard application! What small streaks or spots I might incur are so small and unnoticeable and that anyone who gives their application the smallest care (unlike me) will be left with a near-flawless application. So, what are these glorious sun-kissed products I swear by? I'm glad you asked. My go-to self-tanning products are listed below, and the best part? They're all under $10. Click on the slideshow and I'll tell you more!

    Summer Style: 10 Straw Hats For Movie-Star Style Sunbathing

    If you€™re fair-skinned and burn easily while all your friends are tanning, SPF 80 might not even be enough protection for you. What you need is a hat (or a beach umbrella, but those aren€™t as portable or as cute). Celebs from Reese Witherspoon to Sienna Miller have been seen sporting straw fedoras, which, unlike baseball caps or floppy fishermen€™s hats, will actually make you look more stylish as opposed to schlubby. Here are 10 of our favorite straw hats €“ they would go perfectly with your retro bathing suit and big ol€™ movie star shades. Check out the SLIDESHOW to see more!
