Today is the 4th of July, WOOT-WOOT! Which means that a lot of you are probably heading out to watch some fireworks or are going to the beach. If you are planning on heading outside to view those fireworks, or you’re planning on going out anytime this summer you should check out these Beach Beauty Must Haves.
Neutrogena Wet Skin Spray Sunblock || $10.79 – I usually prefer spray sunblocks over lotion ones as they are so much easier to reapply once needed. The fact that the Neutrogena Wet Skin has an SPF of 85 is a great bonus.
Maybelline Dream Matte BB Cream || $7.44 – BB Creams are my go to type of foundation in the summers because they are so much lighter than a typical foundation. I like this particular BB Cream a lot because it’s kind of dewy, moisturizing, and it has an SPF of 30.
Rimmel ScandalEyes Retro Glam Waterproof Mascara || $5.47 – I LOVE the Rimmel ScandalEyes Retro Glam Mascara, as a matter of fact I used it in this tutorial. So when they came out with a waterproof version I was so excited. I always feel that a waterproof is a must for ANY outdoor activity during the summer.
Neutrogena Lip Crayons || $7.79 – I love the Neutrogena Lip Crayons and I have several of them. I like how moisturizing it is, the fact that it isn’t sticky, and most importantly how easy it is to reapply. At least one of these lives in my purse at all times.
Urban Decay’s All-Nighter Setting Spray || $14.00 – A setting spray is always a good idea because it helps your makeup stay put longer. This particular setting spray is a favorite of mine because it makes even my drugstore makeup stay put as long as my high end makeup. If you’re planning on being out watching those fireworks most of the night, spritz some of this on before you head out.
Nail Polish || Price May Vary – I always make sure that I have nail polish on my nails. Due to the fact that it’s the 4th of July a patriotic color scheme or nail art is something that you could totally due. If you’re looking for inspiration check out this nail art tutorial. I used OPI’s Cajun Shrimp and CoverGirl’s Snow Storm in that nail art tutorial, however, I can’t find the blue anywhere online but you can sub in Essie’s Butler Please.
Banana Boat Aloe After Sun || $4.97 – This is something that we always keep in stock in our house. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how good you are with your sunscreen, something always gets burnt. This is really good at soothing the burn AND moisturizing around the area. When we use this we have hardly any of the pain from sunburn and NO peeling.

The UD setting spray is my lifesaver. I’ve been using it for like five years now!
I’m a sucker for Essie polish – great formula, love the size of the brush and their color selection!
I use the same BB cream! I’m obsessed. Those nail polishes are so pretty too.
Essie polish for the win! I love it!
I really need to try that UD Setting Spray soon! <3
I swear to god that I am wearing OPI’s Cajun Shrimp right now! So funny! Great minds.
Neutrogena Wet Skin Spray Sunblock is great sunscreen I have been using it for two years and it works. Even on Davey’s fair skin – keeps him sunburn free!
So many great picks!
Boy heading to the beach without these essential is a very bad idea! You have a great product list here.
I love Maybeline products so I am going to have to try their BB cream. I haven’t had much luck with the few samples I have tried of other brands.
Awesome picks! I seriously need to get my hands on that UD setting spray.
I got a pretty decent sun burn on my nose at the fourth of July parade today. I good go for some of that Aloe right now!
Love that Essie shade! I’m also a big fan of bB cream!
Those are all great protects! Thanks for the reminder, I need that after tan with aloe in the house, the one I have is far too old.

Mitch

I used that exact same sunblock this past 4th of July weekend on the river. Plus, I had my toes painted bright red. Great must-haves!
I love Essie and OPI. I just started using BB Cream and I love the coverage that I get from it.
