SUMMER BEAUTY MUST-HAVES

We asked our beauty team to spill their get gorgeous secrets and name their summer beauty must-haves. Find out what these beauty fiends can’t live without! <span>Photos by Adam Moco </span>

<b>LAURA</b>
<br></br>
<i>Merchant Marketing Coordinator, Cosmetics</i>
<br></br>
<b>Rouge d’Armani Sheer lipstick, $38</b>
<br></br>
"Normally, I’m strictly a lip gloss wearer but this lipstick feels like a gloss with the colour pop of a lipstick. As I’ve started to play around with it, I’m noticing it can be really sheer or you can layer it to make it nice and vibrant. I have the coral and it’s my favourite new accessory to spice up any summer outfit." <span> </span>

<b>ASHLEE</b>
<br></br>
<i>Buyer, Cosmetics</i>
<br></br>
<b>Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer, $55</b>
<br></br>
"This is the perfect lightweight foundation and gives me a sheer finish with a radiant glow. It also provides the coverage I need without feeling heavy and dry." <span> </span>

<b>CHRISTIE</b>
<br></br>
<i>Coordinator, Visual Cosmetics Marketing</i>
<br></br>
<b>Chanel Nail Vernis 307 orange fizz, $27</b>
<br></br>
"For summer, I am definitely getting on the orange bandwagon. The punchy hue will add just the right amount of colour to all my summer looks. Chanel’s Orange Fizz is the perfect shade—not too dramatic with just the right amount of pop."<span> </span>

<b>HILLARY</b>
<br></br>
<i>Assistant Buyer, Cosmetics</i>
<br></br>
<b>Oribe Après Beach Wave and Shine Spray, $38</b>
<br></br>
"This product is so versatile! I use it on dry or second day hair for added volume, shine and texture, but also on wet hair so that it dries into the au-naturel wave look that everyone covets. It will definitely be a staple for summer weekend getaways."<span> </span>

<b>VICTORIA</b>
<br></br>
<i>Senior Buyer, Cosmetics </i>
<br></br>
<b>Chantecaille’s Haute Protection Naturelle Powder, $89 Refill: $39</b>
<br></br>
"I love this powder because it absorbs excess oil without drying my skin and fits into my make-up bag, so I can touch up on the go! It’s also paraben-free and refillable!"<span> </span>

<b>ZAHRA</b>
<br></br>
<i>Senior Buyer, Cosmetics</i>
<br></br>
<b>La Mer Gel Crème, $290</b>
<br></br>
"This ultra-light version of the original La Mer Crème is the perfect amount of hydration and leaves skin feeling refreshed during the summer months. It's my biggest beauty splurge but worth every penny!"<span> </span>

<b>DAVID</b>
<br></br>
<i>Divisional Vice President, Cosmetics</i>
<br></br>
<b>Byredo Pulp, $235</b>
<br></br>
"It’s time to lighten up for spring and for me that means transitioning into a crisp citrus fragrance for the warmer weather. This year, I can’t leave the house without a quick spray of Byredo’s Pulp. It’s masculine, with a cedar wood base note, but the top notes are decidedly fruity, highlighted by bergamot, red apple and fig. This blend of fruity scents is followed with a surprising peach flower dry down that’s slightly powdery without being overtly floral. In my opinion, the perfect mix for a seasonal scent."<span> </span>

<b>CAITLIN</b>
<br></br>
<i>Assistant Buyer, Cosmetics</i>
<br></br>
<b>NARS Laguna Bronzer $39 & Orgasm Multiple $46</b>
<br></br>
"We all know that too much sun worshipping isn’t a good thing. That’s why I swear by Laguna for the perfect shade of bronze to give me a natural looking glow. I always add the multiple to create a little shine and a pretty rose gold tint to my cheeks. Together, they’re my sun-free summer staples!"<span> </span>

<b>BROOKE</b>
<br></br>
<i>Merchant Marketing Manager, Cosmetics</i>
<br></br>
<b>Aqua Di Parma, ARANCIA di CAPRI, $140</b>
<br></br>
"When I’m stuck in the city during the hot summer months I spritz on Aqua Di Parma’s Arancia di Capri and the refreshing scent transports me to the tranquil azure coast. It’s the perfect summer pick me up!" <span></span>
