SUMMER BEAUTY by Becky DiStefano, GoLocalProv Beauty Expert

Before you panic that summer is almost over, consider the glass half-full with beauty products that practically scream summer.

To Beach Her Own

Ever wish you could bottle the delicious fragrance of the beach (cue Kramer from Seinfeld)? Well, Bobbi Brown did just that with her seaworthy Beach fragrance ($55, Nordstrom in Providence Place). Light, fresh as the sea, with a hint of sand jasmine, this product is perfect for a beach getaway anytime. Also available in shower gel, body lotion, body scrub and

body oil.

Nail It

Nothing brings summer back around like a hot nail color. OPI’s South Beach collection features vibrant colors for fingers and toes. Try Feelin’ Hot-Hot-Hot, a flamingo pink or Miami beet, a gorgeous violet red. Every time you look at your nails, you’ll want to samba, salsa and invite summer to stay. Check out OPI products at Eneida Vann Salon Spa Cosmetique, 3595 Mendon Rd, Cumberland, 658-1738.

Glow and Tell

Basking in a summer glow and want the feeling to linger? It is easy with L’Oreal Sublime Bronze One Day Tinted Gel ($8, drugstores). Unlike self-tanners, this gel gives you the color you want then washes off easily with soap and water. Get a glow day or night in one easy, summery step.

The Little Mermaid

Indulge your hair and your summer whimsy with a gift from the sea: Seanik Shampoo Bar from Lush Cosmetics ($9.95, Sephora in Providence Place Mall, 432-6587). With sea salt to add volume, seaweed to soften and lemon oil to add shine

, you will be singing the praises of summer all year long.

Fire It Up

Surround yourself with summery sweetness with Coconut Lime Verbena candles from Bath and Body Works (Garden City, Cranston). The warm scent of coconut is kicked up a notch with a burst of lime, hinting that summer is never over.
