Summer's finally here (yay!), but most of us are still sporting pale, winter-dull skin. No need to face the world looking less-than-luminous! Try our new favorite bronzer, Dior's DiorSkin Nude Glow Healthy Glow Summer Powder, a mosaic of contrasting tones that leave a subtle, totally natural radiance on skin -- instead of creating a faux-tanned look. To use, simply swirl the blush in the bronzer and swipe along the outer perimeter of the face, down the bridge of your nose and over cheekbones. If you're fair or have light hair, try DiorSkin Summer Powder in Aurora (a mix of tawny tones); and if you're medium-to-dark-skinned, try Sunset (a bronzier blend).

Whether you're chilling at a barbeque, the beach, or by the pool this holiday weekend, it's super-important to protect your hair from the sun's harsh rays. If big floppy hats aren't your thing, try Phytoplage L'Originale Protective Beach Spray, a powerful mist chock-full of UV filters that prevent hair from drying out (and hair color from turning brassy) in the sun. Blended with nourishing olive wax, calendula, and sunflower extracts, the lightweight formula also leaves tresses looking glossy -- and smelling heavenly -- all day long. A win-win!

In New York City last night, Carol's Daughter "spokesbeauties" Solange Knowles, Selita Ebanks and Cassie celebrated the brand's new Monoi Reparing Collection at the Sephora-held launch. Founder and CEO, Lisa Price, took a moment to share her excitement about the new line with us. "After one use of the mask with the shampoo, your hair will be 96% stronger," she says. "Plus, it'll grow longer because it's not breaking as often," says Price. The Monoi Repairing Shampoo, Conditioner and Mask are all blended with Monoi oil, which was created by merging fresh-picked Tahitian Tiare flowers steeped in a special coconut oil. Formulated for fragile, breakage-prone hair, the products nourish hair from root to tip -- leaving your tresses soft, silky, supple (thanks to bamboo water) and manageable. And the scent is pure tropical heaven! Monoi Repairing Shampoo ($18), Conditioner ($20), and Mask ($29), available at Carolsdaughter.com.

We all know the importance of using SPF to protect your skin from UV rays, which helps prevent skin cancer and premature aging. But did you ever think that the sun could harm your nails? We just learned from nail professionals that UVA/UVB rays can turn nails yellow. Thank heaven for Zoya's new Armor Topcoat/UV Block, a titanium dioxide-infused top coat that acts as a sunscreen for your nails. Not only does it keep nails from yellowing, it prevents your polish from oxidizing in the sun and turning funky colors. A beach bag essential! Zoya Armor Topcoat/UV Block, $8, zoya.com

Nothing says "spring" like bouncy, luscious, slow-mo-in-a-shampoo-commercial curls (as Kerry Washington proved at the Met Ball, left). For ages, professional stylists have achieved sexy spirals by removing the clip from a curling iron, and then wrapping small sections around the barrel — this way, there's no weird crease, just perfectly defined corkscrew curls. Paul Mitchell has made the process a zillion times easier with their new Clipless Curling Wand. The genius ceramic iron tool comes without a clip, so you can create fabulous ringlets in one easy step. Plus, it comes with a special thermal glove to put over your hand to prevent burns (hallelujah). The wand is limited edition though, start shopping before supplies run out!

Relaxers, color treatments, heat stylers, product overload — we heap abuse on our hair, so is it any wonder it ends up dry and dull? All is not lost, ladies! The geniuses at Ojon (the 100% natural, plant-based haircare line with uber-moisturizing, cult-favorite products) have just whipped the perfect antidote to tress trauma: the Ojon Damage Reverse Kit. Designed to restore health, shine, and body to overprocessed strands, the four-piece set includes the Restorative Hair Treatment, Restorative Shampoo, Restorative Conditioner and the Restorative Finishing Spray...

Nothing's chicer than wild makeup colors this season, but before you start experimenting, make sure you start with flawless skin! For those of us who weren't born with a Gabrielle Union-esque perfect complexion, Benefit has just debuted their new Hello Flawless Cover-Up SPF 15. This super-blendable powder foundation goes on light, but layers beautifully so you can customize the finish. To help make application easy, the compact comes with a brush for creating a sheer look, and a sponge for full coverage or spot coverage (brilliant for erasing undereye circles). The best part? The Cover-Up comes in gorgeous shades for brown skin. Perfect skin, here we come! Benefit Hello Flawless Cover-Up SPF 15, $34, sephora.com
