We only have a few more weeks until we can stop hitting the books and start hitting the beach! However, we can sometimes forget to stock up on summer essential while we’re busy studying for finals or planning our first summer vacation. Never fear— we are here to make sure your summer gets started on the right foot.
#1: Summer’s Eve Cleansing Cloth
This natural cleanser is absolutely perfect for hot, long, summer days. We definitely do not recommend wearing too much makeup in the summer; you’ll just sweat it off while you sit in the sun. Plus, if you’re constantly in and out of the water during a day at the beach, the last thing you want to be concerned about is reapplying makeup all day. Instead, feel confident wearing no foundation at all. Your skin will be glowing after cleansing your face with one of these cloths— there will be no need for makeup!

#2: Steripod Toothbrush Protectors
Summer calls for lots of overnights and traveling. Whether it be visiting a college friend in their hometown for a weekend or spending a month in another country, there are tons of little items that you don’t think you need while packing for a vacation. The steripod is one of them. It is perfect for traveling because it keeps your toothbrush clean and protected for the entire trip— it even kills germs on your toothbrush between uses! Do yourself a favor and pick up one of these little magical protectors. You’ll be thankful you have it on hand for the next sporadic trip you decide to take.

#3: Secret Cool Water Lily Scent
Deodorant is an absolute, everyday must as is, but there’s definitely an increased need for it in the summer. Wisconsin’s long winters tend to make me forget what it’s like to really feel hot—and how much it sucks to be uncomfortably sweaty. The Cool Water Lily scent from Secret is definitely my pick for a perfect summer scent. It is clean, fresh, and not overpowering— exactly what a girl needs to conquer the summer heat.

#4: Essence Eyebrow Fixing Pencil
This brow fixing pencil from Essence is a necessity for summer dates and parties! While it is awesome to embrace your natural beauty during sunny, summer days, it’s still fun to make yourself up a little at night! This pencil has the power to hold through a hot, summer night while keeping your brows perfectly intact no matter the temperature. Trust me, using this pencil will make even the unruliest brows hold in the shape you desire.
