Summer Beach Essentials
15:26
As we have all established, summer is finally here, so I
thought I would do a little blog post on my beach essentials. For many, going
to the beach is a super fun way to enjoy the weather, but not everyone shares
this view. For some, it may be a hassle and they would rather prefer to do
something else. There are plenty of people I know who hate sand, ant that puts
them off the beach. Although, I too share this view, it doesn't take away how
much I love going to the beach!
Here are my essentials:
From Left to Rightt:
- A large bottle of water to stay hydrated and its super good for your skin.
- A healthy snack for when you're feeling peckish, I chose apples as they are very easy (although ice cream is also a must)!
- A nice little book for entertainment- I'm currently reading 'Looking For Alaska' by John Green. I have to say he is an incredible author and if you've read 'The Fault In Our Stars' you will know what I mean. Somehow he can capture a number of emotions within a few words, from making you laugh to bringing you to tears (which has so far happened in every book of his I've had the pleasure of reading).
- Deodorant(Total Defense), I actually couldn't find my mini spray so I had to take a full size one.
- Some body spray to smell pretty all day, instead of a sweaty beachy smell (eww). I am currently obsessed with Soap And Glory and carry it with me like a bible, It smells incredible and so summery.
- A bottle of sea salt spray( Phil Smith Xtreme Style Sea Salt Wave Spray) to keep your hair looking textured and volumised throughout the day.
- Aftersun(Garnier Ambre Solaire) for when you are leaving the beach to keep your skin hydrated and prevent dry skin.
- Sun cream(Malibu) to apply throughout the day to protect and prevent your skin from damaging. I have to admit i brought this sunscreen just for the smell!
- A hair brush( Primark) incase your hair suddenly becomes a mess like mine
- Some face wipes(garnier Cleansing Wipes) to remove excess makeup like mascara and eyeliner under the eye (an ongoing problem).
- Lastly, a pair of headphones. This has to be my most important item, I can't leave the house without them. Music is such a good distraction and great entertainment too, everybody loves music!!
Cant leave those sunnies behind!
Topshop- grey leopard print sunglasses (around £18).

- Compact Mirror ( QVS) just in case of emergency, although its not really essential, just a preferred item.
- Tinted Moisturiser (Nivea) which I prefer to use in the summer as a lighter coverage, compared to foundation.
- Bronzer (Bonjour 51) to add a little colour and definition to your face.
- Bronzing brush (Ecotools).
- Blusher brush (Ecotools). I love these brushes for their shape and feel, they are ridiculously soft to the skin.
- Blusher(N07 12 Coral Flush) I have used this a lot recently, as you can see I've hit the pan. It's definitely a summer blusher and i will be repurchasing this item shortly.
- Then you have the basic items-Tissues, Vaseline (limited edition red) and hair grips/ties.
- Waterproof Mascara(Max Factor-False Lash Effect) for going in the ocean. It's also handy to prevent smudging.
- More basics -Hand Cream (Soap&Glory), Moisturising face and body cream (Nivea) and hand sanitiser.
I hope this post was of some use, what are some of your beach essentials?
