    Two summer must-haves that have already become staples in my makeup bag are Jouer’s Essential Lip Enhancer and Essential Matte Touch from the Les Essentials d’ete Collection. These instant summer classics come packaged neatly in Jouer’s signature interlocking compacts and deliver on the spot touchups for your lips and face.

    In fact, I was initially drawn to the Jouer line by the chic packaging and the convenience the compacts afforded. You can use them independently, or simply click a few of your favorites together for endless options. Each adorable compact comes complete with a discreet mirror tucked inside for touch- ups on the go.

    These little gems work overtime, taking you from day to evening in a pinch. The lip enhancer, which works great either alone or over gloss, is infused with jojoba oil and shea butter that smoothed my lips, leaving a dewy, natural sheen. Vitamins E and C also moisturize lips while fighting free radicals.

    The essential matte touch is the perfect degreaser for those of us who suffer from oily shine. Developed with antioxidants like Japanese green tea powder and willow bark extract to purify and sooth skin, matte touch works on all skin types. Packed with vitamins C, D, and E and using grape, kiwi, and honey extracts to firm and moisturize skin, this product can be applied easily alone, under make-up, or as a touch-up. I loved the colorless, light consistency that left me with a soft matte finish that banished any trace of excess oil on my skin.

    Go light this summer and toss these lifesavers from Jouer in your beach tote and enjoy the sun!

    Jouer’s Essential Lip Enhancer retails for $14 and Essential Matte Touch retails for $24. Both are available at www.jouercosmetics.com.
