Summer Sundown: An Empowering Summer for Strong Women

Throughout the years, Rustan’s The Beauty Source has been celebrating Women’s Month through the Rustan's Beauty Addict GRL PWR. This year’s theme empowers women to embrace their femininity with a confident and radiant attitude while becoming their most beautiful and vibrant selves this summer. Recognizing that women deserve to feel confident, comfortable, and carefree, no matter what the weather brings, Rustan’s The Beauty Source provides the perfect beauty tools and must-haves, so they can simply let their hair down, kick back, and embrace the season’s joyous spirit without having to worry about heat-induced beauty woes.

Summer Beauty Must-Haves for the Empowered Woman

Ladies, it's time to hit the beach, explore new destinations, and have the summer of your dreams. From holy grail skincare items to on-the-go beauty essentials, Rustan's The Beauty Source has carefully curated a list of items designed to keep you looking and feeling your best to ensure a worry-free summer getaway.

Say hello to healthy skin—youthful, bright, and supple despite the harsh summer sun! Start by upgrading your skincare routine by locking in moisture wherever you go with L'Occitane Shea Collection. Derived from the fatty kernel contained inside the shea nut, shea butter is intensely nourishing with many protecting properties containing omega 3 and 6, and antioxidant vitamin E. The collection ranges from ultra-rich body creams, lotions, shower creams, and hand creams.

Complement your routine with a spa-like experience: Neal's Yard Remedies treats the senses while leaving skin soft and relaxed. Infused with Neal’s Yard Remedies’ best-selling Women’s Balance Aromatherapy Blend, the Women's Balance Foaming Bath and Women's Balance Massage Oil are formulated to nourish dry skin while harmonizing the body and mind.

Give your hair the same TLC with Phyto. With over 50 years of expertise in using plant-based ingredients, Phyto presents an ultra-gentle shampoo that maintains balance in the scalp and enhances all hair types: the Phytoprogenium Ultra Gentle Shampoo. Complement this with the Phytoprogenium Ultra Gentle Detangling Milk, a versatile formula providing anti-frizz protection and static control, maintaining your hair’s soft and shiny glow for long days (and nights) ahead. Need a trusty hairspray to keep your curls intact? Phytolaque, a propellant-free hairspray made with vegetable ingredients , is just what you need for a natural fixation and a sublime hairstyle.

Skin, check! Hair, check! How about facial care? With the ever-changing environment, it’s time to upgrade to an improved formula that protects your skin from pollution, smoke, free radicals, and other harmful effects. With Sisley Paris Ecological Compound Advanced Formula, you get exactly the protection your skin craves—its advanced formula promotes a balanced microbiome and stimulates the skin’s natural defense mechanisms. Two key ingredients (Burdock and Meadowsweet extracts) are added to its original complex of 5 plant extracts (Centella asiatica, Ginseng, Hops, Horsetail, Rosemary), leaving the skin more equipped to defend itself.

Achieving a healthy complexion also means choosing products that oxygenate the skin to help it breathe better and look brighter. Clarins’ Bright Plus Collection makes this possible by infusing two powerful superfruits—a blend of Rose Myrtle and Organic Acerola seed extracts—to deliver a double shot of oxygen conveniently packaged in its Bright Plus Serum and Bright Plus Fresh Ampoule.

Before going out, apply Jane Iredale’s PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation, an all-in-one foundation, concealer, and sunscreen for a nourishing (and weightless) medium-to-full coverage and second-skin finish. Seize the day fearlessly with a trusty facial mist on hand, like the Calming Lavender Hydration Spray, which is infused with chamomile and organic lavender designed to set make up, soothe skin, and help calm the mind.

Whether you love to spend sunny days under a shade with a good book, or going on countless adventures with friends, express yourself through irresistible fragrances that capture your summer soul. The musky scent of Diptyque L’Eau Papier Eau de Toilette celebrates the power of the imagination, reminiscent of that moment, suspended in time, when ink, paper and the hand become one. Meanwhile, the CHANEL Coco Mademoiselle reveals a surprisingly fresh and feminine fragrance for individuals who are both independent and endearing, mischievous and provocative, light and exuberant. Designed for woman who reinvents herself freely, the composition sees the freshness of citrus fruits mixed with a sensual wave of distinguished patchouli.

Finally, complete your tropical travels with lip and nail essentials—guaranteed to bring out your inner boss-babe attitude wherever you are! Choose from a wide range of luminous, vanilla-scented Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss ranging from Soft Pink, Deep Taupe, Sunbaked, and Goldy shades; as well as velvety-soft Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte & Satin Lipsticks ranging from Hush Rose, Blush Brown, Sunbaked, Warm Taupe, Hush Pink, and Honey Taupe shades.

For nails, grab the Deborah Lippmann Addicted To Speed super quick-drying top coat. This high-shine top coat dries fast so you can go about your business without a smear, smudge or scratch—truly a must-have for nail polish addicts! Don’t forget to give your cuticles a rest, too, with the Deborah Lippmann The Cure Cuticle Repair Cream, an award-winning formula infused with a powerful dose of patented Raspberry Stem Cell extract, Red Algae, Shea Butter, Sodium Hyaluronate and vitamins A, C and E; and the Deborah Lippmann It’s A Miracle Intense Cuticle Therapy Oil, boasting a unique blend of 10+ conditioning oils, botanical extracts, Shea butter and Vitamin E.
