Going away for Spring Break? Thinking Cancun, Bahamas or maybe even Florida? No matter your destination, we’ve got 6 must-have products to glam it up and make Spring Break 2018 a great one!

1. St. Tropez Self-Tan Starter Kit

There’s nothing worse than getting to the beach only to be the palest one there! With the St. Tropez Self-Tan Starter Kit, you can hit up the beach as the bronzed super star we know that you are! Apply the self-tanner to your skin about 2 days before vacation for a nice start to that beautiful bronze glow you’re trying to achieve.

 

2. Bain de Soleil

No matter how many times our moms tell us to, we all know we’d rather get a golden sun tan than lather up some SPF 100 all over. Bain de Soleil is one lotion I can say that I swear by. Now, I wouldn’t recommend using it on the first day of vacation (considering it is only SPF 4), but as a girl with an olive, European skin type, I always use this lotion on my last 2-3 days of vacation to achieve that perfect sun-kissed look.

 

3. Hawaiian Tropic After-Sun: Shimmer Effect

As a supporter of healthy, moisturized skin, I can say that this is my absolute favorite go-to when it comes to keeping your glow alive even after the vacay is over. Hawaiian Tropic has not only found a way to keep your skin looking healthy and radiant, but they’ve also added sparkles too! Once applied, this moisturizer provides your skin with the hydration it needs and a touch of shimmer to make you literally glow. Who doesn’t want to literally sparkle and glow when they walk into a room? I sure do!

 

4. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20

Looking for a way to relax on the beach but still have that flawless “no makeup” look? Laura Mercier’s tinted moisturizer is the perfect thing for you! Not only will you achieve a flawless, dewy look, but you’ll also be protected from the sun! With a touch of color and SPF 20, this product is good for all skin tones and types!

 

5. Maybelline’s Falsies Push-Up Drama Waterproof Mascara

If there is one thing I know, it’s that I would be lost without my mascara-ed eyelashes, especially at the beach! Maybelline’s Falsies Push-Up Drama waterproof mascara is my go-to on and off the beach. The wand perfectly coats each and every lash so nicely and I love knowing I don’t have to worry about my makeup smudging!

6. Masqueology 99% Aloe Soothing Gel

Stay out in the sun too long? Forgot to reapply sunscreen? We’ve all been there. Masqueology’s 99% Aloe Soothing Gel is definitely a must-have for that pesky sunburn. Not only does it feel soothing and cool on your skin, but it also doesn’t leave a sticky feeling on your body like most aloe lotions do. P.S It also comes in a ~super cool~ bottle!
