With the weather in the UK being so nice lately, it’s inspired me to do a post on my essentials for the summer. I’m hoping to do a spring/summer make up post soon so stay tuned for that.
1. Evan Facial Spray – There’s nothing worse than being too warm and this facial spray is a great way to cool you down when you’re feeling a bit hot without messing all your make up.
2. Sunglasses – Sunglasses are must for the summer, not only do they stop you from becoming virtually blind when the suns out but they also look great if you pick the right ones for your face shape. I love a good aviator!
3. Water – Water is essential all year around but especially in the summer as your body needs more fluid in it. I’ve always wanted to try Fiji water (mainly for the pretty bottle)..
4. Bioderma Photoderm Max 50+ Tinted Face Cream – I bought this to go on holiday in December and I now can’t get enough! This stuff not only provides maximum sun protection, (great for us pale people) but also works amazingly as a foundation which leaves your skin with a beautiful glow.
5. Suntan Lotion – Obviously suntan lotion is an essential in the summer, I love the Hawaiian ones as they don’t make my skin feel sticky.
6. Polaroid Camera – I’ve been DYING to get a Polaroid camera for the summer and hopefully I’ll have saved enough to get one before the summer is over. I think it’s a really cool way to capture your summer memories!
7. Kimonos – Kimonos are really in this summer and I for one LOVE them! I’m a big fan of the floral ones, they’re light enough to wear on a hot day and warm enough for the cooler nights. The one pictured is from Oasis.
8. Coral/ Orange lipstick – Neutral eyes and bright lips is my go to look for the summer, this year I’m loving coral lips and I’m dying to try Morange by Mac.
What are your summer essentials?
