Congratulations to reader Faye for winning the Lancome Summer Beauty products!
Â
And a Fabulous Giveaway!
Â
Summer is all about looking fabulous and doing it quickly and easily.  Let’s face it, we want to look polished, but don’t want to put a ton of makeup on that just ends up melting off our faces.  Light, airy, polished is one way to look our best, but what can we use to get the look we want?  These three simple Lancome products can get you out the door and looking fabulous in no time at all.
Skip the foundation.  Everyone says they use less foundation when they look tan because a tan can hide so many imperfections. Let this Tropiques Minérale Bronzer give you a bronzed look without heavy foundation.  Several months ago I declared this one of my “Lancome Favorites” and it still is.  Alex Sanchez, a National Artist for Lancome, used this on me last year and I was hooked.  The Natural Golden shade gives my skin a soft bronze glow that is a perfect replacement for getting a real tan which just damages your skin.
Make you lashes pop! The latest addition to Lancome’s award winning mascaras is the Définicils Precious Cells.  Definicils mascara has been one that I’ve bought for more years than I care to remember. But, it’s one you can depend on to not flake or smudge and gives definition to every single lash.  The new Precious Cells version is said to regenerate the condition of your lashes, minimize fallout when removing makeup and make your lashes stronger.  I’ve been using mine for only about 4 days and I really like how it’s non-drying to my lashes and the definition it gives them.  Currently is only available at Nordstrom and Lancome.com
Define your lips. If you don’t want the heaviness of lipstick or the sheerness that many glosses have, then try L’Absolu Crème de Brillance.  It gives you the feel of a gloss, but the coverage of a lipstick complete with anti-aging molecules for moisture replenished lips. These are truly fabulous! Exotic Orchid is one of my favorite shades, but don’t let the Berry Noir or Rose Mythique shades fool you either.  See them tested on my hand below. Berry Noir on top, Exotic Orchid in the middle and Rose Mythique on the bottom.
Â
Isn’t that just the most simple, polished summer beauty routine?! Anyone can do those 3 simple steps and look summer-gorgeous.
The fun part is Lancome and Fab Over 40 are giving away this Simple Summer Look to one lucky reader!  Just enter you name in the comments and I’d love to hear about a beauty product you love to use in the summer. One entry per reader, US residents only and contest ends on Saturday, July 17th at 11:59 PM CST.

Love Lancome products!
Hi! What a great Lancome Giveaway! Thank You!
One of my favorite summer products is Fekkai’s Summer Hair Beach Waves. You just mist it on your dry or damp hair and use your fingers to shape loose, tousled waves. I’m in Pensacola, Florida with alot of the nasty BP oil so your Lancome treat and my tousled waves could get me out the door in a hurry! LOL
I’ve been using Lancome Flash Bronzer Anti Age. Perfect touch of summer color for my fair skin.
I love the Hypnose mascara! It is ‘nice’ to your eyelashes and gives a vavoom effect to any look.. day or night!
My summer basics include lip balm and spf face lotion.
I am obsessed with Lancome products! Fab giveaway!
I have really dry skin so I am an exfoliating queen! I have been using a combo of Lancome’s Exfoliant Fraichelle scrub and Dermalogica Microfoliant to make my skin really smooth.
Thanks
My summer must-haves are tinted moisturizer and sunscreen. Together, they are light on the skin protecting me from sun rays and crazy humidity. 🙂
waterproof mascara is my must have during the summer. Great giveaway, just found your site through the Lancome blog.
Summer brought 2 changes: I’d been wearing powder foundation, but realized it looks cakey, so switched to Lancome Teint Idole Ultra and thinking I should try the new Fresh Wear. To keep pores clear, changed from Natura Bisse Cleansing Cream with AHA to IQ Derma Purifying Cleanser. I even mixed some of this with my Rene Furterer Karite shampoo, as my hairline was a bit flaky.
My summer essential is sunscreen and I have been using new moisturizers with less oil since I layer my sunscreen. I am also using more SPF lipgloss such as Softlips. Oh, and Pur’s bronzer blush. It doesn’t look great in the winter but in the summer it does!
Great giveaway!
Since I have naturally curly hair, my favorite summer beauty essential for hair is my TIGI Curls Rock Amplifier.
This is an AMAZING cream that defines and separates my curls, while adding volume, texture and shine!
Wonderful giveaway.. would love to try these products before purchasing them! thanks!
In the other seasons, I use Lancome Absolue foundation — great coverage with a dewy, natural look. In the summer, I switch to Lancome Dual Finish Powder Makeup. It’s sheer enough not to look cakey when I perspire. (My grandmother insisted we use that word. Ladies would NEVER “sweat”!)
Awesome giveaway!! My summer favorite right now is my Revlon color stay foundation!! Can’t live without it! And blush is a must so my NYC cream stick is my favorite! Just simple because it’s super hot here now! 🙂
I love using the bronzer. It gives me an even summer glow!!!
Great giveaway! My essential is sunscreen,though I do wear it year-round. I do like to use a light bronzer and tinted lip balm instead of gloss too.
Anything with an spf is a must for the summer. I also love using bronzer for a slight glow.
I love Lancome products especially with Michelle Phan’s videos! My favorite is definitely their powderfoundation. I am asian and it is so hard to find foundation that will actually match my skintone and Lancome is definitely the best!
I love the mist sprays in the summer they make you feel refreshed on a hot day.
I don’t leave the house without a tinted moisturizer with an SPF30. I love defincils mascara and can’t wait to try the new formula!!
Love to use fun and saturated eyeshadows during summer. Whether it’d be to match my summer dress or if I just feel like being spunky, I always want my eyes to remain the center of attention!
In the summer I like lip gloss. 🙂
oil-free tinted moisturizer and lip balm with SPF also sunscreen is definitely a must
I am a loyal Lancome user. I have been using your great proudcts since I was 18 years old. I am now 42. I would love to try the Tropiques Minerale Bronzer, L’Absolu Creme De Brilliance in Exotic Orchid. Please consider me. thanks
Hey, I’m Nicole. I love using a lightweight lipstick to give you color but keep you looking fresh.
I wear Effacernes undereye concealer EVERY day! It is by far the one product that I can’t and won’t live without! I have been wearing it for at least 15 years. LOVE IT!
I love Lancome High Resolution Eye Refill 3x This Summer makes my eyes feel soo good. 🙂
This summer I have discovered the joys of bronzer!
I have been using Lancome High Resolution Eye 3x- Love Love Love it!
Hi! So in the summer time, I really like using a peach blush. It’s very natural-looking and gives you kinda like a sun-kissed glow. Lip gloss is a must, too!
During the summer, there are only three essentials I use, SPF lip balm, blush, and I can’t leave the house without my Lancome Paris eyeliner. I am really into the natural look, because I think everyone should embrace their natural(true) beauty.
A beauty product I love to use in the summer is waterproof mascara and sunscreen! With summer’s humid weather, who knows when you’re makeup’s going to sweat off, and let’s not forget, the beach and pool is a must! So waterproof mascara is my favorite and it holds curls so beautifully all day! And of course sunscreen to keep the harmful sunrays from aging my skin! 🙂
Summer beauty essential is a spray bottle for my face 🙂 Fill it up with water to keep my face hydrated!
Christy Li
Great Giveaway!
My favorite Summer beauty product would be a tinted moisturizer with spf, it really wakes up a face and gives a slight coverage other than that I’d say mascara since it wakes up the eyes. 😀
cannot ever be without my Definicils ever…also love the bronzer year round….
I love the Hypnose waterproof mascara. That stuff doesn’t come off! You can swim or cry all day long and it will still look flawless.
Hi, what a fantastic giveaway…. i love all your mascaras and makeup remover….love love love! Mascara makes such a difference with just a little bit of bronzer and lip gloss, perfect summer look!
♥Lancome
I love the Colour Fever Gloss in Hot Number, my favorite.
My absolute favorite summer product is tinted moisturizer. It covers well enough without feeling too heavy, a must during our dry hot summer weather here in the Northwest!
love a face moisturizer w/ SPF!!
My summer essential is gold lipstick lightly applied for summer.
hi I Really love your Hypnosis Drama Mascara! It works wonders on my lashes, because im asian my lashes are short and tilt downwards. But because of this MIRACLE MASCARA they look long luscious defined and not flaky! Thank you so much Lancome because now I dont even have to curl my lashes!
great giveaway is been more than 10 years that I use Lancome
Hey, what a great giveaway!! my essential product in summer is avene sunscreen. I love it. It’s great as you can be outside all day long.
Been using Lancome for several years and am always excited to see what new products the company comes out with.
Loving the giveaway! 😀
My perfect summer look includes a tinted moistrizer with SPF 15, gold eyeshadow with mascara and a beautiful coral pink lipstick to top it all off. This look is perfect for a night out with my girls.
Summer means more moisturizer, sunscreen and bronzer, but I always reach for my Definicils!
I love the Almay Perfect Match concealer! It’s genius! 😀
I absolutely cannot live without my Définicils mascara. I am always on a budget, especially for makeup, but I always make room in my budget for this!
Love Lancome. That says it all.
White and silver eye shadow bases and bright colors to line the eyes. Powder to set.
Ive been using your products since Ive been in highschool, i would save my money just to get the gloss. Ive used all the skin products, and makeup. During the years my skin has aged very little because of the awesome products. Now in my 40s im still anxious to go by and see whats new. I just bought some gloss and its lasts for hours, even at the gym. Thanks for making me feel and look young. I will continue to buy until i cant anymore. Cant wait to try the new sunscreen….Gotta love it!!!!!
I love, love the Cils Booster XL and my must have for the summer is Definicils mascara and the two together gives me fabulous lashes! Thanks Lancome!
I love Lancome. I use the foaming face wash and the Primodal moisturizer. Also the Hypnose mascara, Groupie Color Design Lipstick, and Ageless Minerale Powder. Sometimes I use the brow color and liner, lipgloss, eyeshadow, and microdermabrasion. I got my mother hooked on Lancome too!
I have’nt try Lancome yet because I cant afford it but Im dying to try it.
Beauty product I like to wear is very simple,just powder and lipgloss.
Since using Lancome dual finish (Matte Amande or Matte Sable)and their definicils mascara … never went to anywhere else. Love it love it love it. Even my blush on … still Lancome !!!
My summer essential is definitely tinted moisturizer with a high SPF. I’m always walking outside during the year and I can’t afford to wear foundation that will melt away and clog my pores!
I love Lancome. I use the foaming face wash and the Primodal moisturizer. Also the Hypnose mascara, Groupie Color Design Lipstick, and Ageless Minerale Powder. Sometimes I use the brow color and liner, lipgloss, eyeshadow, and microdermabrasion. I got my mother hooked on Lancome too! Simple Summer Beauty with Lancome
I love Lancome products!!!!!
Fab giveaway. I like to use a shimmer bronzer for the summer.
Love the moisterizers, to keep skin fresh year round!
i love lancome products especially mascara and eyeshades
I love the Hypnose perfume,one of my signature.I cant do with out defincils,and the glosses are my fave.What a nice giveaway!And since I am a personal trainer and do diets,and suggest great products for great skincare and makeup,Lancome is one of the recommendations I boast about!You got to look good inside and outside!
My must have for the summer is primer and setting spray such as Model In A Bottle.
I have been using Lancome products for over 25 years and my mom used it her whole life she is from Belgium. Their eye makeup remover Bi-Facil is the only one I can use, I had eye lid surgery from an auto accident in 93 & then more reconstruction on eye and the Bi-Facil doesn’t irritate my eye. I use all of their products and love them.
Lancome has outdoen itslef once again. My fav. product out of these 3 is def. the bronzer. I feel liek its the perfect summer essential must have. Lancomes bronzer speaks for itself, for having a perfect summer bronze. Sunscreen, lip balm, and eyeliner are my essentials for the summer look.
Love Lancome products.
Bienfait with SPF 30! (and the SPF 30 eye-cream as well!)
Favorite Summer Must have is moisturizer, bronzer, mascara and lip gloss.
All Lancome products of course.
They are my absolute fav.!
Hi!! I love Lancome products. My favorite is definetly the Lancome Juicy Tubes. I love the colors and the feeling of them.
Thank You!!
I tend to shy away from Bronzer’s because of my hair color so I use Lamcome Bienfait sunscreen everyday and I love the coverage of Lancome Dual Finish powder. I would Love to try the new mascara, but have not as yet, nor have I tried the Lancome Bronzer, so I might be missing something here…
Lancome tinted moisturizer is a summer must have for me.
I can’t live without Loreal Sublime Bronzer..it makes my tan look realistic without damaging my skin! 🙂
I love Lancôme!!
I just try out Lacome foundation. I love love it! Make my skin look smooth and gradient.
I love Lancome and I love wearing cream blush in the summer. Just stays on very well!
I don’t really wear makeup in the summer, but I use lip glosses/balms w/ SPF, like the Revlon Super Lustrous glosses, it’s really nice for a quick grab-n-go.
Skincare hasn’t really changed for me, but I did recently start using L’Oreal’s 360 Clean cleanser.
How exciting, Rosemarie Ellis loves the lip balm on a hot summer day.
I can’t live without my Bobbi Brown Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 in the summer. It doesn’t make my oily skin greasy in the humid weather–and that’s saying something!
I am loving Lancome TEINT IDOLE FRESH WEAR for summer. It keeps my skin looking fantastic all day long and I have far from perfect skin.
Hi~~~
These three products could save my face this summer. I’m oily and I guess my favorite product is OC8 (an oil control cream). My foundation looks awful after a short time…..maybe I could just do concealer and this bronzer 🙂 Thank you for the chance at these!!
Lancome makeup makes me feel beautiful each and every day! Definicils is the BEST mascara ever! I now have the Oscillating Definicils and it is wonderful! Thank you, Lancome!
I absolutely love definicils mascara. It helps give me that simple, natural beauty look that I like in the summer.
I love Lancome products,I only used their make up and fragance products I have not tried the bronzer but I will go to the store to sample it before I buy it. My skin bronzes naturally but the summer has not been hot enough to enjoy a good bronze. So I might need to buy one…
I never leave my house without a sunscreen. I am also hooked on Shea Terra Organics Rose Water Ester-C Collagen Regeneration Facial Mist to cool me off, relax me, & refresh my skin.
I love Blush Subtil in Miel Glacé, perfect for the summer.
I like to use DiorShow Waterproof Mascara in the summer. It doesn’t melt off and lasts in the pool.
Great giveway!! thanks I like sooooo much waterproof mascara and tinted moisturizer and sunscreen the perfect team for summer!!!
Hey! I love the lancome lip glosses! I love the juciy tubes and the Lancôme Crème de Brilliance Visibly Replenishing Lip Color. They are so awesome! Its not like any other lip gloss because unlike the other ones, it glides on smoothly and its not sticky! So that is one of my summer faves right now!
MY number one must have is mascara. When it’s too hot for makeup adding a little mascara can really play up your eyes and a great lip color doesn’t heart either. 😉
I am IN LOVE with all of the “Color Design” blushes line. The best ones are Retro Rouge in SHIMMER and RICHE. I used them year-round! I use the shimmer one in the sun; this is my 8th time buying it because it’s perfect! Gives you the perfect sun-kissed glow. Recommend it to EVERY SINGLE WOMAN. And the riche version is the one I use in winter, gives your cheeks a sweety rosy tint, very cute! Definitely can’t survive without lancome cream blush. THE BEST.
My summer essentials are sunscreen, waterproof mascara and liner, and lip tint with SPF (Tarte 24/7 Lip Sheers rock my world).
I have been using inky Lancome products for at least 20 years or more. No one can guess my true age because my skin is wrinkle free.
wonderful giveway, I’m on several different meds, and they combined cause makeup just to sweat off my face just as fast as I put it on, so I’ve learned to just use a powder and blush.
I have been using only Lancome products for 20 years or more, and love them all. No one can guess my true age because my skin is wrinkle free.
I never met a Lancome product I didn’t love! I am a 54 year youngster! 🙂
Lancome Erika F eyeshadow is the bomb!
I love using Tient Idole Ultra in the summer! It’s such a light, velvet texture that feels good on my skin and is not too heavy in coverage. I usually tan well enough that I don’t need a lot of foundation. But this one I use to even out my skin tone. I turn 50 this October, and I attribute my lack of a lot of wrinkles to using Lancome moisturizers and creams!
I love my Lancome juicy tubes!
Mascara
I love Lancome, especially their Rouge Allure lipsticks
Jennifer
I love to use bare essentuals powder sun protection. It is so easy to use and isn’t sticky, slimy, etc like regular sun protection.
I love using juicy tubes in the summer over lipsticks!
shopgurl101 at gmail dot com
I’m a lipgloss addict, and the L’Absolu Crème de Brillance lipgloss for summer sounds amazing!
Any Lancome lipstick!
Lip gloss! A lot of people only protect their lips in the winter, but it’s just as important to do so in the summer as well. As summer is a great time to wear vibrant glosses!
My fav beauty produtc this summer is myS Sephora Bronzer: it’s fine powder that enhances the cheak bones without making me look shiny or stained with orange
I love Lancome mascara and Tresor fragrance.
Love the mascara and the Trsor fragrance.
I’ve been wearing Tresor since 1990. It’s the only perfume I ever wear. I’m a stay-at-home mom to 2 young kids so my days are pretty busy, but I always feel put together after using a few basic Lancome cosmetics (tinted moisturizer, face powder, mascara, & lipstick & the finishing touch is Tresor each day). I love Lancome cosmetics and skincare line also.
Always use sunscreen! Lancome’s new Bienfait SPF 50 is lightweight, non greasy and leaves the skin with a soft, matte finish. LOVE IT!!
I absolutely adore Teint Idole Ultra Foundation, Definicils Mascara and Juicy Tubes!
Excited to try Lancôme’s Flash Bronzer face lotion… so paranoid of the orange look, but I’ve heard amazing things about this one!
Lancome is a luxary that I cant do without. My skin reacts to Lancome products instantly. From skincare to color rich lipsticks I love it.
I love your mascara, blush and Magie Noire! The only cologne I use! And you make the BEST eye makeup remover ever!
I love Lancome products and have been using them since I was a teenager. In the summer I always use lipgloss for a sheer and shiny look. It’s fresh and light.
Lancome’s newest must-have skincare product is Renergie Lift Volumetry! Perfect for staying Fab over 40…with its youthful contouring and reshaping benefits. It’s my absolute FAVE!!!
I love using UV Expert because it keeps me from getting burned when I am being active outside!
Cathy Ross In Summer,I love to use Smashbox Halo as my foundation.

L’Absolu Crème de Brillance lipgloss is a must – and Exotic Orchid is to die for…
I love cream blush. It looks natural and stays on well in the summer
My must have beauty product is sunscreen in the summer. I will always put it on my face even if I don’t have time for any other products.
Benefit Benetint for lips and cheeks.

Hi, thanks for the great giveaway! I love Maybelline’s define-a-brow product. I can’t live without it any time of the year.

Lancome has been my go to for years now – I am definitely Fabulous over Forty! I would love to have this set to play with during the summer.
Love Lancome and love Lancome’s Bienfait SPF 50 for summer.
COR Silver soap. Amazing.
As for a cosmetic I have to go with a plumping gloss such as Lip Injection or LipFusionXL
Lancome makes the best mascara on the planet!
I love to use juicy tubes in the summer especially coral shades. thanks for the giveaway
Tropique Minerale Bronzer is the BEST! I love the way it gives me a fresh summer glow for minimal effort…magnifique!
My favorite product to use this Summer is the Blush Subtil Delicate Oil-Free Powder Blush. I love all the different colors and love that it is oil free as my skin seems to be more oily in the Summer.
Murad Firming Bronzer
