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.
