Summer Beauty Essentials

Life is short, and let’s face it, the holidays are even shorter. We don’t want to waste time when the weather is fine – we just want to get out there and make the most of the gorgeous weather. When you’re on beach vacay, it’s all about keeping it simple. In the spirit of simplicity, we believe there are five things every woman should have in her summer beauty arsenal:

Sunblock

This one’s not up for debate, especially here in SA where the UV rays are extra harsh. Before you do anything else, apply a high SPF sunscreen. Think of it as your body’s summertime foundation.

Shimmer Cream

Whether you’re rocking a spray tan or you’re naturally blessed, Caribbean Tan Tinted Body Bronzer Shimmer Cream is a summer must-have. Take your tan up a notch and add a subtle hint of shine to your legs, arms, and anywhere else you want to be noticed. With just the right amount of self-tan, your legs will look darker instantly, and glow with the perfect amount of glamorous glitter.

BB Cream

Summer is about sunshine, beach days and outdoor fun. Nothing ruins a day out like heavy, cakey make-up. Ditch the foundation and go natural with a light BB cream that won’t clog your pores or dampen your vibe. essence Pure Skin Anti-Spot BB Cream covers imperfections while simultaneously battling spots, blackheads and redness that are particularly prone to occur when sweat + make-up combine.

Waterproof Mascara

Come rain, shine, or tidal waves, you can be sure to avoid racoon eyes with waterproof mascara. Keep those lashes in check with CATRICE Glam & Doll waterproof mascara.

Fixing Spray

Perspiration can wreak havoc on our made-up faces. Beat the heat with essence Keep It Perfect! Fixing Spray. This delightful refreshing spray holds your make-up in place, creating a protective layer. It’s light, non-fragranced formula won’t weigh down your skin; on the contrary, it’ll leave you feeling fresh and invigorated.
