2010 Labor Day: An Easy Way to Heat Up the Last Few Days of Summer

By Alix Turoff

With the end of summer just days away (technically, anyway), it’s high time to hit the beach, savor that burger and shop for a cute Labor Day dress. There‘s also time for that last summer beach read. Here at The Beauty Bean, one of our favorite aspects of summer is the fact that we can skip the New York Times and indulge in some of our guilty literary pleasures. So, when we heard about best selling author Brenda Novak’s new trilogy, we knew we found the right book to cap off the summer the right way.

Amazon’s top 10 books of the year, so far!

White Heat ($7.99), the first in this three-book series, is a romantic and suspenseful read bound to keep you on the edge of your seat – or lounge chair. When a questionable religious cult takes root in “Paradise,” a ghost town in Arizona, Nate Ferrentino and Rachel Jessop are part of a security company working to expose the cult whose leader is thought responsible for the disappearance of a teenage girl. With a steamy, romantic sub-plot, this book is so addictive you won’t need longer than a warm Labor Day weekend at the beach to finish it.

The perfect lemonade recipe (spiked or not).

What’s even better? Author Brenda Novak partnered with Three Custom Color Specialists to create a custom blend White Heat lip gloss ($21.50) to accompany the novel. Speckled with silver-white shimmer, the hot pink gloss is ideal for a perfectly punchy pout – and a fully acceptable way to continue to wear white well after Labor Day.

So, gloss up your lips, mix up a fruity cocktail, put on your hottest bikini and get set for a crazy, heated ride.

Fall’s hottest lipstick color!
