The best of what’s new on store shelves.
Smart Spray
Thanks to aesthetician-to-the-stars Kate Somerville, it’s easier than ever to shield your face from the sun. Her new setting mist not only keeps your makeup intact, but also delivers broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection with every spritz. It’s even light enough to be layered throughout the day without leaving behind any sticky or greasy build-up.
Kate Somerville UncompliKated SPF 50 Soft Focus Makeup Setting Spray, $49 at Sephora.
Blond Ambition
Summer and sun-kissed strands go together like mornings and coffee. Too bad highlights tend to veer into brassy territory between trips to the salon. Fortunately, Matrix is helping you keep those yellow tones under control with a new purple-pigmented shampoo that neutralizes brassy hues and infuses hair with protective and nourishing vitamin oil.
