NARS Summer 2016 Color Collection.

I don't know about you, but I have had it with this wishy-washing spring weather and just need summer to be here already. I long for longer days filled with warmth and sunny skies. If the NARS summer 2016 Color Collection doesn't rep summer in a more perfect way with its French Riveria look and feel, I don't know what will.

To bring the NARS Summer 2016 color collection to life, François Nars’ partnered with contemporary artist Konstantin Kakanias to bring the glamorous, vintage and whimsical look to the pieces. Just look!

With this collection comes a new lip product in NARS Lip Cover. Lip Cover is a full coverage, creamy feeling lip color that offers a lot of pigment and satin look to the lips. I find it on par with a lot of the creamy-matte liquid gloss products that have been released lately. I tried Get Dirty which is a dusky peachy rose shade that leaves a satin-matte finish to the lips. It wore for about four hours before starting to fade on my lips. I am hoping they make this product a permanent addition to the line; it's really nice.

Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Summer Glow Makeup Collection 2016.

I am dreaming of summer and there is nothing better to get me in the mood than this years Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Summer Glow makeup collection. All of the products have one central theme: bronzing. With products for the eyes, lips and cheeks, skin with be glowing with a touch of sun that will last the season and beyond. I'm obsessed!

Bronze Goddess Summer Glow is perfect for your summer makeup bag and essential for travel! The collection includes two new palettes (one for eyes and one for cheeks), a new innovative multi-tasking lip and cheek color stick, a liquid illuminator and of course, the brands cult favorite bronzers.

The highlight of the collection for me is the stunning Summer Glow Multi-Palette. This is a trio face palette that contains a soft shimmering bronzer, illuminator and blush for a gorgeous, natural summer glow. I love the geometric inspired design of the powder itself — so gorgeous — but the powders hold a secret. The powders were created with a special Prisma Technology which is a "tribrid" of liquid, powder and gel which feels incredible on the skin. It applies with a super smooth finish (like a creamy gel in powder form) with true color. The shades will really enhance a tan.

To get that beautiful tan, there are a few easy ways to create a faux tan with self-tanner (obviously), by using a bronzer like one of the Bronze Goddess Powder Bronzers in this collection or my favorite way with a gel bronzer like the Gelee Bronzer. This gel bronzer is very easy to use and wear; it feels like nothing on the skin yet it makes skin look naturally sun kissed. I apply a thin veil of the gel bronzer over my tinted moisturizer to give skin an all-over bronzed look. It is very natural looking and gives my skin the perfect looking faux glow. It lasts longer and looks more natural than a powder bronzer ever does.

To further accent a tan, I always go with gold and that's why I think the Lip and Cheek Summer Glow in Sunburst is a must have. This 3-in-1 color stick has a soft gold lip and cheek color on one end and sparkly gold gloss on the other. It's not only a great accent shade, the stick is perfectly portable and amazing for travel. It comes in other shades (more below) but gold (Sunburst) is my pick.

Lovatics by Demi Lovato for NYC New York Color.

One of my favorite mass brands is NYC New York Color. I've always been impressed by the quality of the products especially at the price point — the products are all under $5! Demi Lovato is the latest famous face to partner with the brand (I think it is their first celeb partnership) and together they have created a capsule collection named just for her: Lovatics by Demi Lovato.

Lovatics by Demi Lovato features an amazing 12-pan eyeshadow palette that goes the distance, an eyebrow pencil to help frame those peepers, a mascara that wows the lashes with up to 11X the volume and a really unique lip and cheek tint. Take a look at it all.

Lovatics by Demi Eyeshadow Palette - $4.99
This 12 pan eyeshadow palette features 12 nude shades that rivals any of the big guys at a price that is easy on the pocketbook. The shades range from matte to shimmer and light to dark with everything you need to create an everyday nude and natural look to a more smokey natural look. There are even shades that are good for lining and some with a bit of glitter in them. They are pretty well pigmented and last well. I highly recommend wearing them over an eyeshadow primer like Urban Decay Primer Potion or Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

Lovatics by Demi Volume & Length Mascara - $4.99
I could not find this mascara anywhere so it really must be a hot seller! It promises up to 11X more volume and up to 64% more length. The brush is a Dual-Fiber Brush with both small and rigid bristles to catch and reveal even the smallest of lashes, while long and flexible bristles instantly pump up the volume of lashes. The formula is enriched with beeswax and specialty waxes to enhance and build volume. It comes in black.

Lovatics by Demi Eyebrow Liner - $1.99
This eyebrow eyeliner gets the job of grooming brows into place done! With a creamy pencil on one end and a stiff brush on the other, it's all you need to shape, fill in and define. The liner stays put too. This eyebrow liner comes in Medium Brown and Dark Brown.

Lovatics by Demi Lip and Cheek Tint - $3.99
With a unique see-through texture and color, you simply need two strokes of this Lip and Cheek Tint on the apple of your cheek to give them a pop of color. I like to apply it with my fingertips and blend out with a beautyblender. For lips, you need to add more coats to build up a more bold and sexy look. I like to top it off with a little bit of gloss because these are almost like stains. This comes in four shades: Cheeky Pink, Cheeky Red, Cheeky Strawberry, Cheeky Berry.
