Happy Labor Day from Team MDC! We hope you’re soaking up the last bit of sun, surf, and sand this weekend as the sun sets on summer. If you’re as bad as we are at saying goodbye, don’t fret, we have a few tricks to make summer linger!

Keep your golden (faux) glow alive with these tricks. Unapologetically rock a surfer chick look (even if you’re nowhere close to a beach). Don summer’s most feminine shade all autumn long. Let the season live on with a spritz of these yummy and summery perfumes (they say scent is the strongest sense of memory…).

But, once you’ve checked off all of the above, we say go ahead and let autumn happen. There’s a lot to look forward to—like transitioning your makeup bag from summer to fall, rocking this autumn-approved manicure, and party hairdo’s that work for any season!

How are you squeezing the last drops out of the season? Let us know with a comment below!
