Jessie’s Most Wanted Summer Picks

 Crème de La Mer Moisturizer Why? Because this is THE moisturizer. This moisturizer has a fierce cult following – women willing to drop $135 for one ounce of this stuff. An astounding number of celebrities use it. It’s featured regularly in magazines such as Allure, Vogue, and many others. And since my summer skin could use some soothing, I think a little fancy face cream is in order. Available at cremedelamer.com.

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara This is quite possibly the cutest beauty product ever. A teeny-tiny brush in a darling package, this mascara finally solves our smeary lower lash mascara problem. And summer is the most smeariest of mascara months, so it’s perfect for my summer pick list. And at $10, it’s definitely doable. Available at clinique.com.

Tarte Achiote Lip Luster, $24, goes Amazonian with the achiote plant, laden with vitamin-rich red fruits. The local name for it? The Lipstick Tree. Sold. The Amazon is like a magical pharmacy – everything that comes out of it totally works. I’d live there except, you know. Spiders. Available at Sephora.

Emilio Pucci Vivara Variazioni Eau de Toilette, $59 There is a lovely and lyrical description of this perfume, but I just have to say one thing about it: Look how pretty! Available at Sephora.

Kate Spade Multi Color Bobby Pins, $45 Hey, no one said this list was practical. This is a list of my summer wants. If there ever was a designer who perfectly described ME, Kate Spade is it. I have long bangs that tend to get in my face a little too often in the summer. Boom – adorable solution. Thank you, Kate Spade. Available at katespade.com
