The June Allure Beauty Box Is Full of Summery Multitaskers

I love having coffee outside, even if it’s just for 15 minutes before my kids wake up, so you won’t find me blow-drying or doing elaborate makeup on summer mornings. This time of year I’m all about pared-back beauty with help from efficient multitaskers, like Buxom’s lip liner, which makes my lips look fuller and has a velvety matte texture that can double as lipstick. Naked Sunday’s sunscreen replaces my foundation with a radiant finish that’s too pretty to cover up, and Luna Nectar’s serum gives a boost of antioxidant protection. Truly’s body oil is an easy way to feel glam, and Maria Nila’s shampoo and conditioner get rid of flakes while moisturizing my scalp and hair, so I have more time to relax outside before the morning rush begins.

Unbox It:

Why you’ll love it: Matte without looking cakey or feeling heavy, this setting powder works overtime, blurring pores while helping your makeup last all day—even when its humid or hot out.

How you’ll use it: Baking powder isn’t as intimidating as it sounds: dust it wherever you want to mattify (like on your T-zone), let is sit for about three to five minutes, and then brush off the excess with a clean blush or powder brush.

Why you’ll love it: Even if you’ve never used lip liner in your life, you’ll now be shaping your lips like a pro. While some pencils are dry—they skip and feel uncomfortable—Buxom’s unique formula is creamy with an angled tip that maneuvers easily around the Cupid’s bow and corners. It comes in velvety matte shades that make it easy to overdraw your lips without it looking fake, and the shades are so pretty you might not want to cover them up (you’ll get to pick your favorite to receive in your box).

How you’ll use it: Trace your lips, adding a little extra next to your natural lip line if you want. Fill in lips, and top with lipstick (or not!) for long-lasting color. The attached brush is helpful for blending (or you can skip it and keep things simple).

Why you’ll love it: High SPF and more radiant skin? Yes, please! This rich, tinted cream gives you SPF 50+ from the mineral sunscreen zinc oxide and a more flattering finish than a lot of other formulas (or even moisturizers!). It wears like a radiant tinted hydrator more than a sunscreen. Who knows, you might even look forward to reapplying it this summer.

How you’ll use it: Smooth a generous amount over your entire face (including frequently missed areas like between the brows) and watch your skin get glowier as you go. Reapply often (we follow the every-two-hours rule) or after getting wet.

Why you’ll love it: Body moisturizer is a summer staple, but sometimes you might want it to feel less utilitarian. That’s where this body oil comes in with its warm vanilla scent and glimmering finish.

How you’ll use it: Smooth this hydrating, shimmering body oil over legs, arms— anywhere you want a little extra glam.

Why you’ll love it: An elegant summer serum, this is lightweight and refreshing. It leaves skin feeling smoother and more hydrated with hyaluronic acid, and has antioxidants (like green tea) that might offer additional free radical protection when layered under sunscreen, like your new one from Naked Sundays.

How you’ll use it: Apply it over clean skin, and top with sunscreen. You can sandwich moisturizer in between, but this serum is so hydrating, you might not even need it.

Why you’ll love it: A luxe way to treat an itchy scalp or dandruff? Now that’s worthy of an Allure Best of Beauty Award. This Best of Beauty-winning shampoo smells great and soothes dry, itchy scalps (with aloe) while tackling flakes (with piroctone olamine).

How you’ll use it: Massage it into your roots and rinse. It’s fine to use the treatment daily—and it’s such a pleasure, you’ll want to!

Why you’ll love it: Sweet relief for dry scalps, no matter the cause—time spent at the beach, product overload—this conditioner moisturizes scalps, helps treat flakiness, and smooths strands.

How you’ll use it: After rinsing your Maria Nila shampoo, apply the conditioner over your scalp and the length of your hair. Let it sit a few minutes, then rinse for a more moisturized scalp and hair, without flakes.
