Hello loves,
Since its summertime and everybody's at the beach, I thought I'd share with you my personal beach bag essentials.. What I need with me while going to the beach. So I picked up some stuff and put them together in that way you see :D (Sorry I suck at putting things together photogenically) Haha.
Anyway, So the first thing you're gonna need with you is SUNSCREEN! I actually use two sunscreens, not because I'm overly protective of my skin or anything, it's just that my tone is already a bit tanned naturally so I'm just making sure not to turn black in the sun :D.
The first one I use has SPF 50+ which is super cool, I always put that first before going to the beach, the other one I use barely has any sun protection and it probably for tanning, so I use that when I'm at the beach to give me that glowy tan.
Another thing I always have with me is either a dry conditioner or just any hair cream, my hear tends to get super frizzy and acts crazy when the weather is humid, so I keep those with me just to calm it down. About this bag though, I LOOVEE anything that has this Anchor drawing on it, and this one is just big and cool and could fit almost everything I want.
For a coverup, I don't like to wear shorts or tops or anything. I used to, but they're just so uncomfy and heavy for a beachy weather and you don't want that on the beach. So i'm suggesting a Kimono coverup could be just great, I have this black coverup here, It actually came with my swimsuit that I got from a turkish store called Penti, it is so easy to just put on. It is like an oversized shirt, but you can play around and style it however you want. You could put a belt on it and make it look like a dress, or just wear it as is, or do something crazy with it and be creative. I personally just tie it from one side, I don't know why, but I love it this way. But if you're not comfortable with wearing just that, I say go for a girly bright summer dress. Oh, and don't forget your big biiigg floppy hat.
As for the makeup, I Know when it comes to this we girls just lose our minds, Should I wear makeup? Should I not wear makeup? What do I do....
Well, you don't wanna look like a clown on the beach, right? You SHOULD NOT wear heavy makeup on the beach for sure, but you can't just look so pale-faced either. But here are the things I reccomend:
Put on BB cream that has an SPF, that way it will push away all the imperfections, smoothes and protects your face.
Use a concealer roll on if you have one, and it better have some kinda SPF too, you don't want your eyes to look tired!
For lips, you could just be simple and put your favorite lip palm on, to moisturize your lips and somehow also protect them from the sun.
And finally, and this is optional, you could put on waterproof Mascara, that way it will give the illusion that you're wearing a prolong eyeliner but you're actually not, I tried this and it's a really great trick.
I guess that is it for the beach essentials and makeup ideas.
