It's officially time to retire our thick moisturizers and moody nail-polish shades in lieu of colors and formulas that are brighter, more lightweight, and flat-out more fun.

On deck, we've got elegant nail stickers from an iconic beauty brand to elevate your summer nail shades. There's also blush stick that's simply Barbiecore goals, not to mention the perfect nude lip color. And we've got skin and hair products with never before seen formulations to give us the healthiest hair and skin we could dream for.

If you're ready to try something different this summer, let this be your guide. Scroll down to find your new fave.

Head & Shoulders Bare Product Range

To Shop: $9.97; walmart.com

Let’s cut straight to the point: There aren’t a lot of sulfate-free shampoo options out there for dandruff control. And certainly not at an affordable price point. So, when I heard about Head and Shoulders’ new “bare” shampoo formula (sulfate-free, dye-free, and containing only nine ingredients), I was intrigued. After using it for a few weeks, I can honestly say it offers the level of scalp care you’d expect from Head & Shoulders, but more importantly for me, it’s super gentle on my sensitive scalp. Bonus: The bottle, which is made from 45% recycled materials, rolls up like a tube of toothpaste so you can easily use every last drop. —Madeline Hirsch, news director

Pat McGrath Divine Blush: Legendary Glow Colour Balm

To Shop: $29; sephora.com

This blush stick ticks off all the boxes for what I look for in the perfect blush. It has buildable coverage to give me that natural glow-from-within color or a full bold flush for that Barbiecore coquette-vibes that's taking over everyone's socials — the world is your (blush) oyster with this. As an added bonus, it has a dewy sheen for an extra-radiant finish. —Audrey Noble, beauty editor

Half Magic Mouth Cloud Soft Matte Lip Cream in Magic Brownie

To Shop: $18; halfmagicbeauty.com

Euphoria makeup artist Donni Davy told me that this nude shade has been a runaway hit, and she recently recreated it in a soft, velvety-matte formula. It reminds me of Nars's iconic Orgasm in its universality: The warm, pink-nude tone looks natural but polished, and the liquid itself set to a comfortable texture. It's my new go-to. —Deanna Pai, contributing beauty editor

Dr. Loretta Universal Glow Daily Defense Mineral Sunscreen Fluid SPF 40

To Shop: $60; drloretta.com

Dr. Loretta is one of those "If you know, you know" brands. It’s beloved by beauty editors and industry insiders alike for its effective, reliable, no-frills approach to skincare. And the Universal Glow Defense Mineral Sunscreen, which launched this March, is no exception. This silky SPF acts as a lightweight moisturizer, reparative skincare, and sun care all-in-one.

Plus, its light pink color helps prevent the infamous white cast that’s often unavoidable with mineral formulas (because no one wants to look like a ghost). And believe it or not, I’ve already used it to the last drop. If you’ve always wanted a sunscreen that’s more than just a sunscreen, look no further. —M.H.

Chanel Set Le Vernis

To Shop: $105; chanel.com

This limited edition mani set is every minimalist nail-art lover's dream. You get two polish shades — a vibrant white and a bright cherry-red that are rich in pigment and chip-resistant — as well as a gel top coat and two sheets of chic, branded nail stickers. Forget quiet luxury, I'm making my love for Chanel known. —A.N.

Kerasilk Volumizing Styling Foam

To Shop: $32; amazon.com

I recently restored my short bob, and while I usually use a curl cream to define my waves, I've turned to this for a more lightweight option. It feels like the airiest mousse ever and gives extra oomph to my hair, especially at the crown — preventing it from falling flat throughout the day. I get all the volume without the crunch, which is what makes it a win-win. —D.P.

No7 Future Renew Damage Reversal Serum

To Shop: $39.99; walgreens.com

Chalk it up to a recent string of travels, lack of sleep, and being stressed 24/7, but my skin has seen better days. But thanks to this serum, things are starting to take a turn for the better. It contains a special peptide complex that helps signal the skin to repair damage, leaving skin looking brighter, plumper, and smoother. Plus, it's super lightweight and absorbs so well into the skin. This is a happy addition to my skin care routine. —A.N.

U Beauty The Return Eye Concentrate

To Shop: $148; ubeauty.com

I've been in my third trimester of pregnancy for what feels like forever, and it's come with a lot of sleepless nights. This uses a combination of beta-glucan, hyaluronic acid, and peptides encapsulated in proprietary capsules that brighten and hydrate the eyes — in other words, it gives me everything I need to pretend I'm awake. —D.P.
