While the months of November and December are reserved for holiday plans, July is more about surviving heat waves, making beach trips more bearable and trying to remember all of the weddings, barbecues and other commitments we have. At NBC Selected we manage to do all of the above, while also squeezing in enough time to try and buy our fair share of new products (including classics that are just new to us). In July, we tested products like sunglasses that are safe for sensitive eyes, hydrating SPF face mists, a girls’ trip-ready beach tote and flats perfect for frequent walkers. Some of the brands we sought out include Adidas, Rothy’s, Away, and Tower 28.
