When summer eventually arrives, one thing is certain: no one wants to be weighed down with makeup, especially when it is likely to melt right off your face. Luckily, Burberry kept this thought in mind when creating its newest summer 2012 makeup collection, the Sheer Summer Glow line. The collection includes a natural highlighting compact—a product that will gently highlight your face and give you a natural, lightweight glow—and four shades of lip mist. The lip mists come in a heather pink, a nude honey, a nude peach, and a field rose—in other words, hues that will emphasize the natural color of your lips. To check out the full Sheer Summer Glow collection, head to Nordstrom now. Prices start at $30.

We have bad news. There is yet another amazing nail polish collection on the market—thanks to Birchbox and Zoya—and now you are going to have to revamp your budget to fit it into your shopping list. The collection, named the Blogger Collection, features three gorgeous summer hues: a bright pink created by Capitol Hill Style; a grapefruit pink courtesy of The Small Things; and a pretty tangerine created by Eleventh Gorgeous. These polishes were created using a jelly formula, so not only are they blogger-approved, but they are super versatile—especially if you are into nail art. To check them out, head to Birchbox.com. You can buy the entire set for $22.

If there is one thing we know we want when summer arrives, it is a sunkissed glow, which is why Bobbi Brown’s new Miami Collection is oh-so timely.

On top of that, you can add Bronzing Powder in five skin-colored hues, Long-Wear Cream Shadow in four golden shades, Treatment Lip Shine in four rosy hues, a Shimmering Fragrance Oil, and a Beach Eau de Parfum. In other words, this collection has everything you need for your next vacation, so pack your bags! The Miami Collection is available now at Nordstrom. Prices start at $23.

We give up. There are just too many amazing nail polish collections to choose between this spring/summer season.

The line includes five musically-named polishes: I Kissed A Girl, a popping pink hue; It Girl, a sunny yellow hue; Hollaback Girl, a bright tangerine hue; Nasty Gal, an electric purple hue; and Party Girl, a pretty coral hue. The best part is that you don’t have to choose between any of these individual hues—the Run The World (Girls) collection comes as a box-set. The set is available for pre-order now at NeimanMarcus.com. It retails for $45.

Rescue Beauty apparently knows the benefit of crowdsourcing. Over a year ago, the beauty brand asked its fans to submit their favorite nail polish ideas.

As you can see, each color evokes thoughts of tropical locations, making this the perfect collection for the coming summer. The Fan Collection is available now at RescueBeauty.com. The colors retail for $20 each.

The line features six shades, all of which carry the moniker of Monica: Attractive Monica, Chic Monica, Italian Monica, Magnetic Monica, Natural Monica, and Only Monica.

One of the latest beauty trends to pop up on the red carpet is matching your lips with your “tips,” or more specifically your nail polish. If you want to get in on this trend, MAC Cosmetics is unsurprisingly one step ahead. The Lips & Tips collection feature three sets of products: lipstick, lipglass, and nail lacquer. Each product comes in 16 matching colors—ranging from Saint Germain, a light cool pink, through to Peachstock, a light peachy nude, through to Rebel, a creamy mid-tone plum. Of course, you don’t have to match your lips and tips; in fact, if you love to rebel against being matchy-matchy, you can always go in the opposite direction. The Lips & Tips collection will be available on May 3 at MAC Cosmetics stores, as well as online at MACCosmetics.com. Prices start at $14.50.

Make Up For Ever is doing you a solid this spring and expanding its popular Aqua line to include a range of Aqua Shadow. The new Aqua Shadow pencils have been specially designed so that they can be used by beauty amateurs and pros alike. They are formulated using silica powder, which means they will glide on smoothly, blend easily, last for hours, and provide you with deep color. Want proof? The Aqua Shadow pencils were used at Swim Fashion Week last year, where they lasted under the bright backstage lights in a place known for its humidity. And if that is not enough to entice you, perhaps the fact that the line contains 12 classic shades—ranging from black through to pearly pink through to white—will. The Aqua Shadow line is available now at Sephora stores, as well as online at Sephora.com. Each pencil retails for $20.
