Are you summer-ready?

Summer's all about bold, extravagant hues; vivid florals, neon nails, flouncy hats and vintage bling. Here are 7 random summer essentials to get you started for the season!

#1: BRIGHT LIPSTICK It's the cardinal rule of summer makeup. A lipstick fanatic like me is virtually crippled without bright lips this summer. Say hello to bold pinks, oranges and pretty neutrals, and kiss burgundies and maroons goodbye. And embrace matte lipsticks, like these truly AMAZING matte versions by NYX, for long-lasting and summery colors.
