For most of us, summertime means upping our beauty regimes to make sure we're feeling super confident to brave the beaches and ditch those layers of contour! Summer after summer I have gravitated to the same faithful products as well as having a major love affair with some amazing, newbies to the scene! Keep scrolling to check out a my fave summer essentials!
Not only a summer essential but an everyday essential (as you can tell from my outfit posts!) A good pair of sunglasses never goes amiss! These gorgeous Calvin Klein frames are from Discounted Sungasses - a site that, hence the name, sells your favourite sunglasses for a fraction of the original price! I was kindly gifted these to show you guys but you can grab them here for yourselves (Or if you're feeling extra extravagant go for these Prada's I have been lusting over!) There is any brand you could ever think of listed on there and more, Chloe, Gucci, Chanel, RayBan, the list goes on! It's a little bit like a TK Maxx solely for sunglasses - aka my idea of heaven! I'm absolutely loving the lighter brown colour of these ones, something which makes a pleasant change from my usual black shades or aviators! Everyone needs a good pair (or 10!) to see them through the warmer months and this is now my new go to place to grab them whilst keeping my purse happy!
Next up is probably one of the most important factors of summertime - your skin! Obviously I have my cleansers, masks, moisturizers and factor 50 (I'm a total English Rose!) but the Bondi Sands gradual tanner and Hawaiian Tropic tanning oil are two products that are glued to my summer tote! I'm a sucker for pretty packaging and a beautiful smelling lotion, 2 boxes these products tick! The gradual tanner has a lovely cocoa butter smell and gives my pasty limbs a lovely, natural glow - it also dries super quickly, something that's important as there's nothing worse than a sticky lotion! My grandad has always been an avid hawaiian Tropics devotee (what a strange person to get inspo from!) and that malibu, coconutty, tropical smell always has me coming back for more! It also gives you a gorgeous summery sheen whilst you're wearing it, somewhat helping you envision yourself as Rosie Huntington Whitely on a beach with her glossy legs!
For most of us when it comes to summer, we like to pair back the slap in favour for a more natural look. I love nothing more than keeping all my makeup minimal apart from a bold lip! I'm a massive fan of the Rimmel Kate Moss ones at the moment, they have amazing staying power, come in so many dreamy colours and are also available in matte!
To bring your lips into even more focus I love having a quick facial tone and lip plump with my liptiful tool! Taking the kylie jenner lip challenge to a new level is this handmade tool which uses the tiniest amount of suction to tone the face and plump the lips! Once you get the hang of this thing it feels like doing a mini workout on your face! My Liptiful is always tucked away in my handbag ready for a quick lip aerobics session! It doesn't plump to extreme levels but rather compliments your natural lip shape all whilst helping use those muscles around your face! My sister loved mine so much she even brought one herself!
Lastly are my holy grail hair products! I have extremely long 'virgin' (aww!) hair, so although I don't use much heat on it or damage it from bleach, etc, it still needs some tlc to keep it in tip top condition! Dry shampoo is a no brainer all year round, especially if I'm busy! I have always used Batiste as they have loads of different varieties as well as handbag friendly sizes for a midday hair fluff! We all know bad hair days are the worst and Batiste has never failed to make them better!
If your hair is prone to knotting like mine (waking up with dreadlocks is no fun!) you NEED a tangle teezer! As well as coming in tones of adorable colours this has never failed to de knot my hair quickly and without hurting! This is another handbag essential I always have with me and the hot pink colour means it's super easy to spot amongst all my other things hidden in the depths of my bag! As attractive and salty, sea drenched hair is there is nothing worse than the after math and de tangling is almost impossible - unless you have one of these that is!
Last but not least is a beauty secret I'm sure everyone knows about by now! Coconut oil is a wonder in the kitchen, on your skin and smothered on your hair! When the sun dries out my tresses I pile this stuff on the mid lengths to ends of my hair and leave overnight! I don't bother wasting my money on hair masks and serums anymore, why should I when this all natural product does it all for me? Here I have Lucy Bee coconut oil, if you don't have any of this stuff, stop what you are doing and go get some!
These are just some of the things I need to survive the heat - what are your 'go to' products?
My tangle teaser is a must in the hot weather!!
