Spring break is over, which means the next big thing to look forward to is summer! It might not feel like spring yet, but before we know it, the warm weather and lazy days of summer will be here. Get in the mood by preparing for the upcoming season with these awesome beauty picks! They will help you beat some of summer’s toughest beauty problems: sunburn, frizzy hair, broken flip-flops, and pasty skin after the winter months.
Sunscreen for summer rays of sunshine
Protect your skin this summer by using a sunscreen with a high SPF. It’s also important to find one that’s water resistant for whenever you go swimming. Alba Botanica® Hawaiian Green Tea Sunscreen is perfect because it meets all these criteria. And, it’s not just good for your skin—it’s also environmentally friendly! Plus, if you find yourself on the beach, you can rest easy knowing that it’s biodegradable and is even free of ingredients that are harmful to coral reefs.
Thickening spray for volumizing summer hairstyles
Summertime heat means lots of hairstyles to keep your hair out of your way! Unfortunately, it can be hard to style any updos if you have thin hair. Bed Head by TIGI Superstar Queen for a Day Spray Thickening Spray is a great way to add some extra volume to your hair so it will stay in place for any ponytail, bun, or braid.
Anti-frizz spray for extra-humid summer days
Summer heat + humidity + hair = MAJOR FRIZZ! Maintain a smooth style when the humidity gets bad by using Bed Head by TIGI Get Twisted Anti-Frizz Finishing Spray.
Plumping lipstick that lasts through any summer adventure
Buxom Va-Va-Plump Shiny Liquid Lipstick is a great lip pick because it not only gives you a voluptuous pout, but it’s long-lasting so you don’t even have to worry about it while you’re out making summer memories.
Self-tanning towelettes for the first time you wear shorts
It can be so freeing to finally put on a pair of shorts after a long, cold winter. Don’t let that exciting moment be dulled by pasty-looking legs that haven’t seen the sun for months! L’Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Towelettes make it easy to quickly give your skin a healthy, natural-looking glow for your summer debut. These towelettes are also super portable, so you can toss one in your purse or suitcase and use them wherever you are to look tanner in just a few short hours!
Krazy Glue for fixing flimsy flip-flops
Cheap rubber flip-flops, an easy summer footwear go-to, are notorious for breaking easily—those straps can just pop right off! Wardrobe malfunctions happen to the best of us, but luckily they can easily be fixed with Krazy Glue Singles. Make sure to pop one in your beach bag, purse, or suitcase this summer. Better safe than sorry!
Four eyeshadow finishes for an easy summer look
Fresh-faced, natural looks are always in popular during the summertime, so it’s best to stick to one color when you choose to wear eyeshadow this summer. Almay Shadow Squad™ Eyeshadow is a must-have because it has the same color in four different finishes—satin, matte, metallic, and glitter—for a look for any occasion!
