I know summer is here when I get the sudden urge to eat
BBQ, drink lemonade and bask in the hot summer sun.To be honest the shade happens to be more of my cup of
tea, but you know what I mean.
Yup people summer is here and with that also comes summer
vacation. In the past packing was not my strong point. Meaning I would
mindlessly cram everything in the biggest bag I could find and hope I didn’t
miss anything. These days the days of havoc are a thing of the past and dare I
even say? I am now organized and well thought out as possible. So with a little
trip planed this weekend, here are some of my beauty essentials for a summer
vacation.
Sunscreen
I can’t tell you have many trips I’ve taken and forgotten
sun screen. This mistake usually leads to one of two things: sunburns or paying
for overpriced sunscreen at a tourist area. Yes, it was once I that bought a
bottle Hawaiian Tropic SPF for $25.00. I have to say this pained me to purchase,
since the price at my local drug store was less than half. Lesson learnt… now I
never forget sunscreen. On this particular trip I am bringing a Bioderma SPF
for the body and Miracle 10 SPF 30 for the face. My advice is if you’re
going to be in the sun pack more sunscreen then you think you need.
I have a whole post on my sunscreen faves here.
After sun Lotion
Sunburnt or not a long day in the sun equates to one
thing… dehydrated skin. To combat this unfortunate symptom I highly suggest
bringing some sort of after sun cream or moisturizer with you. Many of these
creams are formulated to hydrate, sooth and replenish the skin. Plus they also
have the added benefit of feeling refreshing. If you don’t have an after sun
product bring any body cream, trust me any form of hydration is better than
none.
Like sunscreen this cooling counterpart is commonly sold
in tourist areas for ridiculous price. I’m just saying it’s never fun to be the
person paying $30.00 for a bottle of cheap aloe gel.
Dr. Bronner’s Soap
Dr. Bronner’s soaps are an amazing multi use product.
Personally I love that the Dr.Bronners is safe to use in your hair, face and body
too. Also, should you want to you can also use this as tooth paste, dish
cleaner, laundry detergent or ant spray… just saying lots of uses.
However what makes
this product an excellent choice for your summer vacation is that is biodegradable.
Which means should you want to wash off in a lake, ocean or pond this is a
perfectly environmentally friendly product to do so.
Mascara
Mascara is a must for me because it a product that
creates the biggest impact with the least amount of effort. My current mascara
on the go is Covergirl’s Super Sizer; I have a review here should you want to hear
my thoughts. This might be a total diva product to some, but I just can’t help
myself.
Dior Addict Lip Glow
This infamous lip glow is my go to lip product. Not only does it feel like a moisturizing
lip balm but it also adds a stunning pink tint to the lips too. This might be
crazy talk but if I had to pick one lip product to use for the rest of my life
it might just be this.
Also ladies don’t forget to bring a tooth brush, a floppy
hat and some sunglasses. Whether you’re
going on a summer vacation or not, I hope you all enjoying the warm weather.
