After a long dreary grey winter and rainy spring, all I want to do this summer is have fun being active outdoors--that means serious sun protection from head to toe, and easy no-fuss makeup. Here are my must-haves right now:

1. Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm
When Clinique sent us the entire collection of their Chubby Sticks ($16 each, Clinique.com), including 8 new shades for summer, our beauty department turned into a preschool play room because all we wanted to do was color our lips! I love how moisturizing these are, thanks to loads of shea butter, mango seed butter and jojoba seed oil and how easy it is to build up color. Use just a little for a sheer tint or layer on some more for a bold lip. Of all the new colors, Bountiful Blush is my day to day fave, but all colors look good and now is the time to play with colorful lips.

2. Supergoop! SPF 20 Gradual Self-Tanning Sunscreen Mousse
The biggest pain about using self-tanner is making sure it goes on smoothly, and then waiting for it to dry before getting dressed. This new gradual Supergoop! SPF 20 Gradual Self-Tanning Sunscreen Mousse ($38, nordstrom.com) is as easy to use as your daily body moisturizer in the morning, with the added benefit of getting the perfect golden glow and great sun protection. The anti-oxidant rich formula sinks into your skin without leaving behind a sticky residue or stains on your clothes, and it also smells refreshing and clean. It's a no brainer.

3. L'Oreal Sublime Sun SPF 50+ Liquid Silk Sunshield for Face
I love how easy it is to evenly rub in this L'Oreal Sublime Sun SPF 50+ Liquid Silk Sunshield for Face ($13.98, amazon.com), and better yet, apply makeup on top of it. The formula contains a silica powder that makes it feel extra light and silky, which makes wearing it all day long a breeze, even reapplying after lunch. And despite it's lightweight feel, the SPF meets with the new FDA regulations, and contains powerful antioxidants, like vitamin E and grape seed, to help repair and protect skin.
