-Lisa Johnson, makeup + hair :: www.lisajohnsonmua.com

Summer is in full upswing here in the sizzling south, and with that comes heat and the dreaded humidity. I've found a few must-have items for your purse, travel bag and pool/beach bag. From inexpensive drug store brands to higher end department store finds. Whatever your choices, enjoy the summer and all it's offerings - pare down, relax, chill and simply enjoy!
