Before you start lining up your party frocks and looking for your killer heels though, start by getting your makeup together.

This mini palette’s got all you need to keep looking fresh while partying all night long. It has a mirror; three eye shadows in metallic grey, deep purple, and dark grey for smoldering evening eyes; two intense lip colors in pink red plum and pink rose; and one mini tube of lip gloss in black orchid purple to kick things up a notch. All that makeup comes in a tiny case that will easily fit into a purse or clutch that will leave you with enough bag real estate for your cash, cards, keys, and phone. Party hardy!

Are you up for some do-gooding? Lush is putting the spotlight right now on saying no to the shark fin trade, and you can do something to help. The last few decades has seen a 90% decline in shark populations, due to the demand for shark fin soup, oil, and other shark products. As a result, sharks are now in danger of extinction. You can help by saying no to shark products like shark fin soup, and you can also tell your lawmakers to ban the shark fin trade by signing this online petition.

You can also help further by getting shark fin soap instead of shark fin soup. Lush just came out with the limited edition Shark Fin Soap in partnership with Shark Savers, a marine conservation organization. Lush has pledged to donate 100% of the proceeds to Shark Savers to raise awareness for shark conservation. It’s blue soap with a blend of lime, lavender, and seaweed. Made to look like the ocean with a decorative paper fin on top, it’s a cool way to help out a great cause. Head on over to Lush to know more about the Shark Fin Soap and on saying no to the shark fin trade.

Bare skin is the name of the game this season. When it’s scorching out, you’ll just sweat a full face of makeup right off. In the heat of summer, a hint of color on your lips and cheeks will suffice.

A few swipes of this sheer, mango-tinted, coral red shade on your lips and cheeks will be enough to give you a glowing, sun-kissed, bikini-pretty look. It’s smooch-proof and smudge-proof too, making it a true beach and pool party must-have.

Retro styles are always coming back. Tie-dye, paisley prints, bell-bottoms and wrap dresses are only some of recurring 60s and 70s trends around. Feeling like you need some hippie love? Bobbi Brown is bringing back another of these trends from the past to try this month – tortoise shell. Big in the 60s and 70s, it was used in sunglasses and a host of other things such as guitar picks. The uneven amber color material is undeniably a blast from the past, and one look at the material immediately sends the signal that it’s a retro throwback.

The makeup manufacturer has come out with the Tortoise Shell Collection. It’s a set of 60s and 70s-inspired makeup in limited edition tortoise shell cases. Designed with tortoise shell sunglasses in mind, Bobbi Brown focused the eyes for this line. The Sand and Tortoise Shell Eye Palette has eight eye shadows in warm neutrals. Made for lighter skin tones, retro colors like Antique Rose and Terracotta will work together and look god when layered. For darker skin tones, the Bronze Tortoise Shell Eye Palette has a darker set of neutrals. Shadows like Bronze Metallic and Olive Sparkle will bring retro glamour, whether you go for the smoky eye or not.

The Tortoise Shell Collection also includes an exquisite mini brush set with tortoise shell handles, and new Rich Lip Color and High Shimmer Lip Gloss shades to complete the 60s-70s look. The Twig and Soft Nude lipsticks come in brown shades that are total understated retro, while the Citrus, Beach and Bare Sparkle (pearled champagne, bronze and nude pink) glosses bring an instant Charlie’s Angels vibe.

Is all this makeup goodness making you want to start flashing the peace sign? Check out the collection already before it’s all gone.
