English term or phrase: date

Come summer and the only order of the day is golden suntan. Holiday is the rule and being sexy and husky brown is the law. Rendez-vous on the soft silky sand for a summer affair with the dancing sunrays. Don't forget to bring along your date: your precious sunsational beauty kit that boasts of efficient bronzing products and sultry summer colour make-up.

partenaire

Explanation:
"partenaire" is quite a flexible term, which can also be linked with the idea of fun and leisure.

Après réflexion, et la note de Joelle, je pense que "le partenaire idéal", est un meilleur choix (que juste "partenaire").

compagnon fidèle [la trousse de beauté]

Explanation:
I agree with Joelle that it actually refers to the kit, not to any person - although it's trying to sound as if it does. This should do the trick.

petit trésor

Explanation:
Si l'on désigne le "kit beauté" décrit après les deux points, je vois mal comment traduire littéralement en français ...

Pourquoi pas "petit secret" ?
Ou "trésor", qui peut renvoyer à l'idée de la source ...
