Dorset style expert and former beauty queen Katie Farley gives her tips on how to gear up for the summer sear

Summer is in full swing here in Dorset and who would have ever have thought we’d be complaining because it’s too hot?

We just aren’t used to such glorious weather so for that reason, forget jetting off elsewhere and let’s enjoy the sunshine here with some rather tempting beauty buys that’ll see us positively glowing through August and beyond!

With crowded beaches comes the inevitable aroma of lovely sweaty bodies, so instead of putting up with it, you should invest in a handy sized roll-on that’ll have you smelling as fresh as a daisy.

A handy roll-on is not as likely to spill or break and it takes up less space in your beach bag too.

Diptyque’s Eau Moheli has an unmistakable ‘holiday’ smell, lifted with ylang ylang and pink peppercorns. Perfect when wanting a little freshen up.

Diptyque Eau Moheli Roll-On, £30; available at diptyqueparis.co.uk.

In these sunny conditions our hair can take a real battering, so to completely protect it try the new ‘damage reverse’ collection by Ojon.

Ranging from shampoos and conditioners to intense hair treatments and serums, Ojon will act as your hair miracle go-to in order to have your locks looking and feeling totally heavenly. Available at Boots.

When out in the sun, the last thing you want is a face full of make up, but come the evening it’s great to highlight those sun kissed areas by staying fairly natural and only applying the minimal.

The Bronzed & The Beautiful by Too Faced is a very useful portable set that includes three of their best-selling bronzing formulas and shades.

It also includes exclusive complexion-enhancing golden powder and a deluxe Primed & Poreless SPF 20 Tinted Primer.

Simply choose which shade best complements your skin tone or blend them all in together to create a beautifully balanced look. Boots, £28.

So, you now can tick off the list your perfumed roll-on, hair miracle products and the best bronzing set around, all that’s left to explore is an item that every girl should not leave the house without. You’ve got it, mascara!

To make the most of your best fluttering features, Rimmel London’s new Lash Accelerator Endless mascara should be the favourite to opt for this month.

It’s the brand’s first ultra lengthening mascara that defies the laws of lash length!

Its formula with micro-fibres along with the instant wow appeal extends lashes by up to 99% and is guaranteed to grab every lash for perfect separation with no clumps.

This mascara will definitely make your eyes pop. Boots, £7.99.
