Yesterday marked the official first day of summer and with it, the reminder that this season’s temperatures can be more brutal than we remember. Since the heat's not dying down anytime soon that can only mean three things: less clothes, more sweat and a whole lot of fun. Unfortunately the latter doesn’t come without combating the former.
In the latest installment of our popular shopping series One Click Wonder, our R29 staffers break down the best summer essentials in beauty, fashion, and our favorite category, fun. It’s all about sweat wicking swimwear that can pull double duty as a top, lip tints that pack in SPF protection, and a rosé that will keep your thirst at bay.
