Summer Trilogy- Summer Essentials

Welcome to the last part in my summer trilogy. If you haven't checked out the last two instalments in the trilogy then here are the link and link. Today I have put together a list of 10 summer essentials. No matter what you are doing this will come in handy.

1. Suncream.

Everybody says how important it is to use it. If you've ever had a sunburn your will know how unpleasant it is. I have a few suncream I like. The first one is great to take with you during the day to top up your suncream, Nivea Protect & Spray. This come in SPF 20 or 30. Then a great suncream to use if you are already burnt or are starting to burn is the La Roche Posay Suncream. Last, but not least my favourite suncream to use at the beginning of the day is the Korres sun care range. They feel amazing on the skin as they use yogurt which makes it very smooth and lovely on your skin. Korres also has an amazing after sun range.

2. Thermal Water 

I have just discover this year the water aerosols and they have come in so handy. Whenever you feel hot or sweaty then just spritz some thermal water all over and you feel super refreshed and cooled down. It's also great when you have a sunburn, as it has a cooling effect. I love them to bits, they have been very useful during the summer months . My favourite is the Eau Thermal Avene Thermal water spray, but there are plenty of other brands that do similar products. 

3. Sunglasses 

I love sunglasses. They come so handy during the summer, not only do they protect your eyes from the sun, but they also can be a fashion statement.  You don't have to stick to only one pair of sunglasses. One great thing is that you can find sunglasses to suit your budget and needs. I know that some of you wear spectacles. You could use contact lenses with the sunglasses, but you could have prescription sunglasses. 

4. Summer Nail Polish 

For me summer screams bright and pastel colours. I have a blog post on my top summer colours and here is a link to it. If you want to buy some summer colours lots of brands create sets with mini summer nail polish sets. Brands like Essie and Opi always have them. I love how a bright nail polish, gets you in a summer mood. 

5. Summer Lip Colours. 

When I think of summer lip colours I think of bright fun colours. My favourite is coral, pink and orange, but it all depends on your skin tone. If you what some help finding your perfect lip colour I recommend going to a make-up counter and getting some advice.

6. Water/ Refreshing Drinks. 

It is very important during the summer to stay hydrated. Water is the healthiest thing to drink, but lemonade and infused water is also good. You could also make ice tea or coffee. I will post a summer drinks blog in the next couple of weeks. 

7. Bikini 

Even if you are not going to go to the pool or on the beach this summer this does not stop you from sunbathing. So, pick out a cute bikini and get sunbathing. I love the Victoria Secret and Pink swim wear, go and check it out. 

8. Ice Cream 

Ice cream is a summer staple for me. So, I had to include this in my summer essentials. I recommend  frozen yogurt as well as ice cream; anything cold is good. 

9. Tote Bag

Whether you are going to the beach or not a tote bag is vital. It can be used as a beach/pool bag or an everyday bag. A must have in everybody's wardrobe. 

10. Waterproof Make up

Even if you are no where near the beach/pool you will most likely get a bit sweaty, so waterproof make up is crucial, anywhere from mascara to foundation. 

Okay guys so those are all of my summer essentials ! 

I will see you all next week
