Six Standout Summer Beauty Must-Haves

Ah, summer... Slip-on and go sundresses have become my daily wardrobe, and my beauty routine has been stripped down to the bare minimum too... Well, as bare as a fair-skinned yet sun-loving, wish-I-could-tan-but-it's-hopeless girl could. ;)
While I'm no beauty editor, I've become quite proud of my quest for the perfect faxu-glow. So today, I thought it would be fun to share those summer staples that make their way into my Marc Jacobs cosmetics bag summer after summer, and take me from city to beach and back again. {Hint: Consider them for your honeymoon, too}!
summer beauty picks by merci new york 
1. Too Faced Teddy Bear Brush - This ridiculously soft and uber-girly brush was created using "Teddy Bear Hair," a cruelty-free luxurious fiber that grabs and seamlessly blends powders.  I use it for everything! 
2. Too Faced Pink Leopard Bronzer - Not only do the chic little spots make me smile, but the golden bronze, gilded pinks, and neutral fawns in this bronzer create the BEST natural sunkissed glow.  {And believe me, I've tried soooo many bronzers}!  
3. Paul Labrecque Straight Finish - This super-light, smells-fabulous spray is perfect post beach for girls like me who can't quite nab that "beachy texture" other folks swoon over.  It instantly freshens, straightens and tames.  Done, done and done! 
4. Too Faced Primed Poreless - Pore minimizer, make-up primer, and tinted SPF 20 in one.  Need I say more?  
5. Hampton Sun Serious Shimmer Cooling Spray - The pearlized finish of this post-sun body spray provides just the right amount of glow - far better than other sprays that leave you looking like a glittery stripper.  ;)  
6. Marc by Marc Jacobs Cosmetics Case - Why?  It's pretty pink and python{esque}.  Why not?  

Happy faux-sunning!
