The sun has finally broken through two weeks of cloud cover and rain in our nation's capital and I am ready to hit the poolside deck!  Not one to wear a full face of makeup to splash in the waves, I'll be sporting lots of sunscreen, a waterproof mascara to-be-named-later and a sheer, sparkly lip gloss. 

These two have graced my Beauty Lusts list for some time now and I have to say I am in love with each of them equally. The Prescriptives Exhilarating Lip Gloss in Guava is such a fun and unexpected shade. It's a limited edition flavored gloss to boot! The Island Michael Kors Capri Lip Gloss is an uber-shimmery poppy pink also flavored with orange, rose, and fig.

While these stunning jewel-toned glossies will add some pretty shimmer to your pout, they won't protect against the sun's harmful rays so be sure to prime your pucker with an SPF balm like Nivea's Kiss of Protection. Which one is your fave? Take your pick and toss it in this tote (just for fun!) along with your towel and current beach read.

Happy sunning, gorgeous!
