Like slushy drinks and Popsicles, the products in July’s Allure Beauty Box are refreshing summer treats. There’s a skin-cooling balm from Tula that feels heavenly and de-puffs undereyes, a rum-inspired perfume oil from Malin + Goetz that will have you dreaming of beachy nights, and a gold-flecked primer from Yves Saint Laurent that warms skin up with the kind of glow you’d get during sunset. New members will also receive a full-size Sunday Riley serum that will give a smooth, radiant complexion. These are Allure editors’ favorite ways to cool things down—and heat them up—this summer.

1/9New Member Gift: Sunday Riley B3 Nice 10% Niacinamide Serum (Full-size)
Why you’ll love it: Unlike a lot of other potent antioxidant serums, B3 Nice doesn’t have an off-putting smell — rather, it doesn’t have any noticeable scent. Its milky texture feels oh-so-comforting on skin, dries down almost immediately, and doesn’t pill under moisturizer. Within a month, Allure’s Jennifer Hussein saw dark spots along her hairline and around her mouth fade completely and says it transformed her dull, vampire-like complexion into a glowing one in as little as two weeks. “It’s the closest you can get to an eraser for skin’s dark spots and it gives you a diamond-level glow,” she says. Basically, it’s a skin-care miracle worker in a bottle, thanks to niacinamide (which evens skin’s tone and smooths its texture) and antioxidant EGCG from green tea.
How you’ll use it: This serum can be used day and night. After cleansing, simply apply, seal in moisture with a face cream, and you’re good to glow.

2/9Tula Skincare Glow + Get It Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm (Full-size)
Why you’ll love it: There’s no dipping your fingers into a pot of cream here. Tula’s brightening, hydrating undereye treatment comes in a stick that’s easy to swipe under your eyes—and gratifying, too. The balm feels cool and refreshing going on and the chill actually lasts well after you’ve applied it—a neat trick that energizes tired eyes and helps wake you up as you drink your morning coffee. (Skin care that deliver this kind of sensorial experience is about to become a bigger trend.) Keep it next to your computer and you might even find yourself reapplying throughout hot summer days—a quick pick-me-up for your eyes and your mood.
How you’ll use it: Swipe the balm across your undereyes and over your brow bones and crow’s-feet to treat the whole area to the cooling hyaluronic acid-infused formula.

3/9Malin + Goetz Dark Rum Perfume Oil (Full-size)
Why you’ll love it: If dark and stormies remind you of summer nights, this perfume oil with its notes of rum, sweet plum, and bright bergamot will be a nostalgic hit. It’s inspired by that classic sailors’ favorite—bay rum—with a sweetly crisp finish that makes the overall effect sparkling, not boozy. “This perfume oil’s leathery-sweet fragrance lasts all day, even in the summer heat,” says Allure’s Talia Gutierrez
How you’ll use it: Run the perfume oil over your pulse points (wrists, neck, even the back of your knees) for a breezy summer fragrance.

4/9YSL Beauty Touche Éclat Blur Primer
Why you’ll love it: This primer has a glittering golden effect in the bottle, but on skin it’s all radiance with no obvious shimmer. It gives your base staying power and makes complexions feel smoother and softer, so your foundation goes on better. The primer’s radiant effect is so pretty, there are days when you might want to wear it all on its own.
How you’ll use it: Smooth a little over your skin as a radiant prep step for foundation or mix it into your favorite base in the palm of your hand before applying—it gives you a sheer, more radiant finish.

5/9Byroe Golden Carrot Overnight Relief Mask
Why you’ll love it: With hydrating superstars squalane, glycerin, and shea butter this carrot root water-infused mask helps make skin softer and more radiant while you sleep. “I woke up to brighter skin—and zero stains on my pillowcase,” says Allure’s Dianna Mazzone. It’s the perfect way to end your day and undo the drying effects of time spent in the sun or air conditioning. “It delivers brighter looking, softer-feeling skin overnight,” says Mazzone.
How you’ll use it: Use this before bed in place of your usual nighttime moisturizer whenever you want extra hydration.

6/9Flanerie Pore Refining Exfoliator—Waterlily PHA (Full-size)
Why you’ll love it: The PHA in the name stands for polyhydroxy acids, which are exfoliants that tend to be gentler than other chemical exfoliants, like AHAs and BHAs. But they still do a great job of removing dead cells so your skin can feel smoother, look more radiant, and the rest of your skin care can penetrate better.
How you’ll use it: Once a week after cleansing, massage in a small amount of this exfoliator and then thoroughly rinse it away.
