A season filled with sunshine, salt water, juicy fruit and the scents of the beach brings an effortless sense of ease that invites us to embrace it fully. Alongside all its charms, summer inspires a new wave of skincare and makeup products each year, bringing an extra dose of freshness, colour and joy to our routines. This year, we’ve prepared our summer must-have edit to celebrate everything we love about warmer days.
Read on to discover the products that won us over with their scents, textures and colours – but above all, with the results they deliver.
Cocktails, Shimmer and an Irresistible Scent Trail
Who can resist a touch of shimmer? While it has a place in every season, we can all agree that it truly comes into its own during summer. Add nourishing ingredients such as vitamin E and squalane, and the result is T. LeClerc shimmering dry oil for the body and hair. It all comes beautifully presented in an elegant bottle. Its fine silver particles leave behind a beautiful, luminous sheen, while a blend of powdery and floral notes creates a long-lasting scent. This undoubtedly earns it the top spot on our summer must-have list.
If, like us, you fall for the distinctive scent of this dry oil as much as its glamorous shimmer, you won’t be able to resist T. LeClerc Neroli perfume from the same collection. Perfect for layering yet equally captivating when worn separately, this duo is set to define this summer – and many more to come. Its striking powdery, floral and woody accords make it truly unforgettable.
Juicy, Nourished Lips Are a Summer Must-Have
You’ve probably already heard plenty of praise for lip products formulated with peptides. They help lips look naturally fuller and smoother, but their benefits go far beyond appearance. With regular use, they help lips retain essential moisture, support regeneration and strengthen the protective barrier, while often helping to stimulate collagen production.
Our summer must-have in this category is the Makeup Revolution Peptide Glaze lip serum, available in an irresistible range of shades. Alongside peptides, its formula contains vitamin E and jojoba oil. They provide an extra boost of hydration, leaving lips softer and plumper with a glossy finish and no sticky feel. A true all-rounder, it can be worn on its own or used as a nourishing base beneath your favourite lipstick.
A Refreshing Boost in a Multitasking Formula
As much as we love summer, soaring temperatures often leave us searching for a quick and easy way to cool down. Offering a refreshing boost while nourishing the skin, Revolution Pro Miracle Glow Elixir face mist comes to the rescue.
It is enriched with hyaluronic acid to attract and retain moisture, as well as aloe vera to soothe the skin. This has certainly earned it a place on our summer must-have list. Another reason to love it is its versatility. Use it to prep the skin before applying makeup or to set your finished look. As a final touch, its delicate scent of neroli, rose water and botanical extracts makes every spritz even more enjoyable.
A Summer Must-Have Inspired by the K-Beauty Trend
As fans of the fusion between skincare and makeup ourselves, we love seeing brands create products inspired by the K-beauty trend. Our range already features skincare and makeup products rooted in Korean beauty philosophy, but the Makeup Revolution Superdewy Cushion foundation has particularly impressed us. Offering light to medium coverage with a natural, dewy finish, it creates my skin, but better effect that lasts throughout the day. Buildable, practical and enriched with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and peptides, it leaves the complexion beautifully even while nourishing for the skin.
Shades Tinted by Summer
Summer is the season when the music gets louder, clothing becomes lighter, adventures unfold and vibrant colours come to life. In that spirit, no summer must-have guide would be complete without nail shades created especially for the hottest season of the year.
If you’re looking for something bold, the Galaxy Professional Hot Pulsing Pink gel polish is certain to catch your eye. Its long-lasting, intensely pigmented and self-levelling formula is guaranteed to attract attention and ensure your manicure takes centre stage.
Of course, summer also brings softer shades, reminiscent of the clear blue skies we are always delighted to welcome. With that in mind, we bring you the Galaxy Professional Surf Boy! gel polish.
Whatever colour intensity you prefer, one thing is certain. The entire The Summer Affair collection offers shades to suit a variety of tastes and styles, and we are sure you will love wearing them.
Matte Finish Is Definitely a Summer Must-Have
We love a radiant glow, but unwanted shine is another matter – wouldn’t you agree? We all know how the heat of the season can affect the complexion, with or without makeup. That’s why a product such as the Makeup Revolution Powder Pops pressed powder can be a real little lifesaver. Formulated without talc, it helps minimise the appearance of pores without causing flakiness, leaving the skin feeling light and creating the much-loved blurred effect.
Enriched with acai berries and hyaluronic acid, it helps hydrate the skin, while its compact format makes it easy to achieve a quick matte finish on the go.
Summer is the period when rising temperatures bring a growing desire for adventure. This season calls for products that deliver true refreshment, both visually and through their performance. Whatever you choose, don’t forget to complete your routine with SPF. Once you’ve found your summer favourites, all that remains is to enjoy every sun-filled day.
