Happy Friday, Bows and Blitzes!
Congrats, ladies, you’ve made it through another week and you are one week closer to Summer! As Summer nears, I’ve decided to make a “Summer Essentials” list for y’all! So without further ado and in no particular order, here are my absolute must-haves for summer.
Sunscreen: Everyone needs sunscreen. I am a huge proponent of catching a tan, but skin cancer really scares me, like really scares me. SO I use an SPF 30, that way I still get some color but can have peace of mind knowing I’m not frying myself. I like Hawaiian Tropic and Sun Bum sunscreens, but I also use Maui Babe Browning lotion which really helps me get a deep tan.
Sunless Tanner: Because I can’t get as dark as I would like to using sunscreen, I use a self tanner to help speed things along. My absolute favorite is Fake Bake flawless. It’s not streaky, buildable, gives great color payoff, and has a pleasant scent. I’ve also heard great things about Loving Tan, but I’m yet to try it!
Bronzer: Here’s a secret, during the summer months, I only use powder makeup. I put on a powder foundation, bronzer, blush, then swipe on some mascara and lipgloss and call it a day. My favorite Summer bronzer is Milani baked bronzer. It has shimmer, which I like in a summer bronzer as opposed to matte, because it’s not for contouring. A little shimmer looks pretty in the sun!
Blush: Same principle as above. My favorite Summer blush is Milani baked blush in Luminoso. It’s a hot coral color that really flatters my skin tone and also looks great because of my green eyes. I love the way blush wakes you up and makes you look so fresh.
Sunglasses: I love a good pair of sunnies. I’m a big fan of aviators, but I love wayfarers too! Just find a pair you like that fits your face shape and you should be set!
Bathing Suits: Once again, this one varies. Find one you feel comfortable in and rock it!
Shorts: In as many colors and prints as you can find. I’m a huge fan of J.Crew Chinos and Lilly Pulitzer Callahans.
Sandals: More than flip flops. Find a good pair of leather sandals that have some sort of sustenance to them, they’ll last forever (even if the Summer doesn’t.)
Sundresses: Flowy, long, short, doesn’t matter! If it keeps you cool and makes you feel pretty, you found a great one.
A Hat: I love sun hats just as much as baseball caps, it all depends on what I’m doing and who I’m with! I love hats from Cappelli Straworld and Vineyard Vines.
And that’s about it! What do you need for Summer?
Forever on the 50,
C
