July's Best Beauty Buys

A handful of delicious, portable scents, soothing new skincare, and more.

You should have seen us, hovering over these cunning little tins of fragrances (Pacifica Solid Perfumes, $9), one more luscious and heady than the next. Val went right for the juicy Tuscan Blood Orange; Jenny snatched the green and slightly woody Mediterranean Fig; and Kate, a California girl at heart, grabbed the fresh, clean, citrusy Malibu Lemon Blossom. Summer never smelled so good.
