W Magazine

With summer heat comes the need to alter your makeup collection. The July issue of W magazine recommends a selection of products. The list includes:

* Soap Stars: French soap and fragrance maker Roger & Gallet makes Gardener’s Special Soaps. Cherry Tomato, Lettuce and Carrot contain actual vegetable extracts and smell good enough to bathe in.

* Mrs. Frosty: No one wants to spend a summer’s day sweating through heavy makeup. Aveda’s new Cooling Calming Cover Sheer Face Tint (foundation) and Eye/Cheek Tint (blush) have water-based formulas.

* Wild Card: I-Shimmer, part of the new makeup line I-Iman by Iman, is an iridescent powder with glorious shine in a rainbow of colors.

* Skin City: Thibiant Beverly Hills is a new line of makeup that caters to skin’s specific needs rather than focusing on skin types. W recommends the Skinzyme Enzyme Exfoliating Mask.

* Queen of the Hill: Looking for a loose powder that will reduce that summer shine without caking on your skin? Try Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Shimmer Loose Powder.

* Eau de Mode: There are many summer scents to choose from, and three of the very best are Christian Lacroix, Commes des Garcons’ Odeur 71 and Valentino’s Very Valentino.

* Crystal Light: Franche’s Lip Luscious lip gloss is an iridescent gloss made from plant-derived liquid crystals.
