Miracle Worker: Philip Kingsley Swimcap Conditioner

A day at the beach or by the pool is so luxurious -- but not so much for your hair! UV rays, saltwater and chlorine can do a number on your tresses, drying them out and causing split ends and dullness. Protect your strands and scalp with Philip Kingsley's Swimcap, a rich leave-in conditioning treatment that's applied to damp hair before hitting the water. When your summertime frolick is complete, simply shampoo and condition as usual. The best part? Swimcap is chock full of sunscreen to prevent color-treated hair from fading or turning brassy. Now that's something we can dive into!

Miracle Worker: Sephora 12-Hour Jumbo Liner

One of summer's hottest trends is bold, bright eyeliner -- and for good reason! A dash of color along top or bottom lashlines instantly upgrades any makeup look! Right now, we're obsessed with Sephora's new Jumbo Liners. These featherweight pencils come in a zillion eye-popping shades, and can be used to rim your peepers or shade your lids as eyeshadow. And there's no reason to skip bold color on humid days (smear much?), because the pencils are heat, water and humidity-proof -- and the color stays put up to twelve hours. Sent from heaven! Sephora Collection Waterproof 12HR Jumbo Liner, $10, available at Sephora stores and sephora.com.

Carol's Daughter 'Spokesbeauties' Introduce New Line

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.
