Summer Essentials

It is April and although it isn't quite summer yet, every other year my family and I go to Jamaica to visit relatives, and every year I accumulate a list of products that I can't survive without on my trip. A little sure goes a long way!

Go naked with the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer: Whether you're going to the beach or just feel like embracing the carefree summer vibe, skip base entirely and stick to concealer. I wear the shade ‘Caramel,’ which has a deep, warm undertone that cancels out the purple under my eyes brilliantly. This is great for blemishes and redness also.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara: This makes my lashes look the most ‘faux,’ thickening and lengthening for an all round wide-awake look & doesn't flake in the humid heat.

Vaseline Rosy Lips: The perfect hint of color to layer over lipliner or to wear alone for a natural sheen - great to keep lips hydrated and plump

MAC ‘Whirl’ Lip Liner: Amazing shade of deep mauve/pink which looks great day or night & has incredible staying power.

Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray: My hair can be a bit of a nightmare in the humidity, this handy spray gives me the right amount of texture and holds my natural wave beautifully without drying out my scalp - amazing product!

Coconut: UUUGHHH MAAA GAAAHH, the water to drink, the jelly to eat, the oil to hydrate my skin. WIN WIN WIN!! 

So there you have it, my super simple summer essentials.. Xx
