It’s getting hot out there and that means time to bring in the arsenal of long-wear, stay-put, and keep it dry beauty products. I’m back on Daytime Chicago to share some of my favorite summer beauty that will keep you glam and worthy of a #hotgirlsummer hashtag.
Let’s just start out with the “keep it dry” product. Not only dry but odor-free too. We tried out the new Weightless Dry Spray from Secret and it is now by far our favorite. It keeps you dry and smelling nice even after a scorching run. Plus it doesn’t ball up!

Nails are still the hot accessory of summer and this year it’s all about the neon. I’m only using clean polishes these days and these beyond-bright colors are designed to stay vibrant and stay on without the use of chemicals. Plus, they are $4.99. Say what???
