Beach Essentials!

Many go to the beach and always forget to pack very important essentials may it be sunscreen, a towel or even lunch!
Therefore here's a fool proof guide to for what to bring with you...

Sunscreen- This is not a shock to many but I think its safe to say I think almost everyone one of us has gotten sunburnt pretty badly. What I would suggest is getting one that is oil-free and sweat/water resistant and lastly one that is SPF(+50) for your face and also don't forget your lip-balm with SPF 15!
Great options;
-Neutrogena Sport Face Oil Free Lotion SPF 70+

-Sheer Touch Clear Spray SPF 50+

-Smooth Sphere Lip Balm SPF 15+

Waterproof Mascara- This is a must if you're going to be spending a lot of time in the sun and swimming because you never know when you're going to taking a dip in the pool and you dont want to ruin your look with mascara running down your cheeks!
Great options;
-Maybelline Volume Express The Rocket Waterproof Mascara

- Lancome Hypnôse Waterproof Mascara

Sea Salt Spray- You wanna come out of the ocean like a Victoria Secret model with flawless untangled hair but in reality you come out looking like a hobo with seaweed tangling in between strands, and trust me you are definitely not alone but I think we should all take a moment to thank the heavens for those sprays that can tame your hair after a really crazy beach day!

A good book- Summer reading is one of my personal favorite things to do and when I'm on the beach, I want something easy and fun to read.

Lush Cosmetics Review

This post is in collaboration with a fellow lush lover who's name shall not be mentioned and I would like to thank her very much.

Hello and welcome back everyone, sorry for my absence as I have had a bit of a bloggers block and since summer has started I haven't found the time to properly post...

Lush has recently over the past few years been loved by many even big household beauty names and its not a shock why; they have amazing benefits which arent found in many other cosmetics. A few to mention are: they only use 100% recycled material, against animal testing and are also made by hand.

 A few quotes on what makes Lush so special;

·      “Lush is famous for producing soaps, shampoos, shower gels, lotions, moisturizers, scrubs, masks and other cosmetics for the face, hair, and body using vegan recipes.”

·      “Lush marks its notorious black tub products with stickers of the actual creators of the product being sold.”

      There are a numerous even more personnal reasons as to why Lush is now one of the most loved beauty products and we see this because with our personal experience with Lush, we haven’t been let down once. We have used their R&B Hair Moisturizer, Mint Julips Lip Scrub and many of their Ball Ballistics (bath bombs) and have been very impressed with each and every one of them. They’re honest to their word and you will get the results promised.

Thank you for reading and stay tuned for next Sundays post!
