    Hot Summer Beauty on Daytime Chicago

    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!

    Secret Weightless Dry Spray
    PRICE: $6.49
    SHOP: @walmart 
    • From the gym to date night, feel extra-confident with the power of 48 hour sweat and odor protection

    • Be good to yourself. The pH balancing minerals in Secret Dry Spray Antiperspirant Deodorant means it’s tough on sweat but kind to your skin
    • Free from waxes and alcohol. Just the peace of mind that you’re odor-free to take on anything without breaking a sweat

    I know Charlotte Tilbury has been a constant theme in many of our segments but she keeps delivering new products that are blowing my beauty-infused mind. Seriously, this primer is so soft and lightweight. Your skin will look flawless and the silky cream has SPF 50 too. It just hit shelves on 5/19.

    Charlotte Tilbury UV Primer with SPF 50

    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???

    Summer hair is synonymous with frizz unless you’ve met this smooth hair oil. It’s insane at de-puffing and smoothing and is one of the best-reviewed products out there.

    You’ve got the primer to keep your statement blush and foundation in place, but what about that mascara? Go smudge-free this summer with a tubing formula. Essence makes one of the best-priced, clean, and perfectly black formulas.
