To kick off summer I would like to start by sharing my top 7 summer beauty must-havs for this year!
Since most of us will be in the sun this year, staying protected from the sun's harmful rays is my top priority whenever i'm outside. Usually I think i'm okay without sunscreen, gosh am I always wrong. I love Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer sunscreen. I also love the spray on one as well! It's really moisturizing and it leaves my pores clean so the sunscreen doesn't cause breakouts and no burns to be found!
> Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Spf 55 sunscreen $11.49 at Walgreens
Whether you're in a hurry or forgot to take a shower because you were super busy partying, Batiste's dry shampoo is one of my favorites. It smells like I've just ran through a field of sunflowers and daisys... Ugh I can't get enough of it. It also comes in many other scents. The only downside is that you can still see the white powder in your hair so I suggest putting it in your hair before you go to bed then it gives it some time to rub into your locks. :)
> Batiste Dry Shampoo $5.99 at target (I got mine on sale for $2.50 but it's better than anywhere else. You may also find it for a good price at Walmart)
Moisturizing this summer will be your ultimate bff. I always like to start off my day lathering Nivea's lip balm on my lips before I do anything else (and it just smells and tastes really good too).
> Nivea Lip Care A Kiss of Olive Oil & Lemon $2.99 at Walgreens
Again like I said, moisturizing is very important this summer. Who wants to see dry skin all over you when you're at the beach? Not me. The Body Shop's classic body butters are my favorite for the summer. I put a little on in the morning and a little after I shower at night. Also try their Grapefruit and Satsuma body butters. I'm not really the kind of person who likes perfume-y lotion all over their body but these butters are just so lavishing and rich.
> The Body Shop body butters $21.00
If you have curly waves like me or straight hair—works just fine, you'll love Not Your Mother's Beach Babe texturizing sea salt spray (man that's long)! I like to spray this all over the ends of my hair (make sure to get underneath by flipping your head over) when I go camping after I have just showered or swam at the beach. Just spray, scrunch, and go! First of all, it smells like fresh coconuts on Hawaii, and second, it keeps my hair wavy all day without that icky-gicky sticky feeling on the back of my neck. I highly recommend this product for anyone to use during the summer!
> Not Your Mother's Sea Salt texturizing spray $4.99 at Walgreens
This is my personal favorite shower gel of all time. Lush's Flying Fox shower gel is like being bathed in a tub full of sweet honey and jasmine. I would say that this is more of a "warmer" scent for the fall but, I love this shower gel so much I use it all the time. And this bottle has last me for over 2 months already! It's great after being outside in the sun and having a pamper-yourself night.
> Lush's 8.4 fl oz of Flying Fox shower gel $18.95
And last, but not least, are my favorite lazy person's trick to cleaning your face. When I'm tired or on a trip it's really hard to bring all of my cleansers and toners and that nonsense, so I like to bring my Simple cleansing wipes instead. Now this is only when I'm wearing foundation and concealer... Just minimal to no makeup days. If you love to cake on makeup (and thats fine by me) I don't suggest using wipes as an efficient and easy way to take off the layers. Overall, these wipes work really well even just to wipe off sweat and shine during the day!
> Simple's cleansing wipes 25 ct. $4.49 at Target or Walgreens (the one showed above is a small travel pack bonus that came with a 25 ct)
I hope my summer must havs work great for anyone who wants to try them out!
What are your top summer must haves?
