By Kerry Purcell/ The ShopperSunday, August 20, 2006

Since when do regular people - as in, not movie stars - play in ocean waves and end up with perfect eye makeup and unsmudged lip liner? Almost never.

Unless you have your own makeup guy and lighting crew, try these beachy products to boost your au natural beauty.

I just got out of the water. I swear. Wet Lash from Pout not only saturates your lashes and brows with a crystal-clear sheen, it also conditions with B5, aloe vera, wheat and silk protein. Wet Lash is $20 at Sephora retail stores and online at www.sephora.com

Summer romances tend to be short but the memories linger - just like Benefit’s Pocket Pal. This tiny tube is double-sided with clear lip gloss on one end and long-lasting benetint for your lips and cheeks on the other. It’s love at both ends according to celeb and Pocket Pal fan Zooey Deschanel. Pocket Pal is $18 at www.BenefitCosmetics.com and other beauty retailers.

Don’t you hate those celebs who say they don’t work out, and brag about eating cheeseburgers? That doesn’t work for the rest of the world so Bliss created Ray of Hope SPF 20 sunscreen with solar-activated slender spheres. This nongreasy spray is water-resistant and fights fat while you bask in the sun. Triggered by UV ray exposure, ingredients such as caffeine and cenetella asiatica break up fat deposits and smooth your trouble areas. At the same time, aloe and vitamins A and E sooth and nourish your skin. Ray of Hope is $36 at Bliss spas, www.blissworld.com, by calling the Bliss catalog at 888-243-8825, and select Sephora, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue stores.

SPF 30+ Firming and Contouring Lotion from Laboratoire Remede is a lightweight lotion that soothes with vitamins C and E, provides overall protection against harmful UVA rays and fights the appearance of cellulite with brown and red algae extracts and caffeine. This lotion is fragranced with mandarin and is $52 at select Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys and Bliss stores. For more information and to find your nearest retailer,go to www.remede.com
