With the change in seasons and a hectic travel schedule, your summer beauty staples need to be super effective and mood enhancing. Listed below are some of my favourite finds from Summer 2021.

Glow Giver 
 
The OG of highlighters:&nbsp;the beautiful light effects from the Hollywood red carpet are literally packaged into this little tube. Treated pearls boost brightening and highlighting to give a luminous complexion with a soft-focused finish. The Rose Gold pigments are perfect for mimicking the soft, natural hue of the beautiful light whilst the silver light reflectors intensify the result for a flawless finish. For someone like myself, who doesn&rsquo;t wear much makeup in the summer, this is the ideal companion, as I also use it on my eyelids.

Secret Strength 
 
I stole this from my mom who was staying&nbsp;with me during this&nbsp;summer. The refreshing natural smell had me hooked from the get-go! Since 1921 this product has been tackling the causes of thinning hair as well as enhancing volume for naturally stronger hair and a healthier scalp. This all-natural product contains extracts of horseradish root and rosemary leaf oil, which help strengthen hair and reduce hair loss.

Hydration station 
&nbsp;

The fresh mountain air can wreak havoc on the skin, leaving it dry and flaky. Initially, I used some perfumed body creams post-shower but quickly realized that I needed something much more intense and hydrating. Here enters my Fenty body cream. While it is quite thick, this deliciously whipped oil body cream is loaded with tropical oils, butter, and extracts, leaving the skin hydrated and without a sticky gleam.

Quick Fix 
 
When traveling, one of your best friends will always be dry shampoo.&nbsp;I picked this one up at a hairdresser in Paris, and it has been my best friend ever since. It adds volume to the hair without too much white cast. I loved the neroli scent too!

Glow Before You Go 
&nbsp;

This lightweight, non-comedogenic sunscreen is everything in one. It protects my skin (that I am so obsessed with) and hydrates it. I usually use it after my serum in the morning. There is no need for any other hydrator as the pearlescent formula provides this beautiful dewy layer to the skin &ndash; all in only one step. The only drawback is when I reapply it, my skin is quite oily (as I have oily skin), but other than that it is one of my favorite SPFs.

Unbudgeable blush 
 
The perfect solution for people like myself who are always on the run. Bassam Fattouh is one of the most celebrated makeup artists in the Middle East. His lip to blush creation has a color pay-off that is conveniently buildable and customizable. The shades were inspired by that &ldquo;Healthy Glow&rdquo; you get after a workout. It has a magical whipped creamy texture, and it simply melts into the skin and lips. Vale is my personal favorite shade.

Dynamic Duo 
 
Nobody has perfect skin, however, this mask has really helped me&nbsp;maintain a clear and radiant complexion. This 2-in-1 purifying, and exfoliating mask uses the Mediterranean rose clay formula to cleanse&nbsp;and purify the skin and absorb excess oil. While jojoba beads gently exfoliate and refine the skin&#39;s texture, the&nbsp;Canadian willowherb restores radiance. Small tip: for combination skin, if you use the mask frequently, use it mainly on your T- zone to prevent dehydrating your skin.
