This is my final Summer Essentials post and in case you missed the others, I did a post here all about makeup and skincare essentials and then here is my post on nails and haircare essentials. Today I have all the other essentials that didn't really fit into the other categories or a category of their own so I am just calling them 'everything else'.
Fake tan is a must during the summer time as I want to look like I have been abroad and caught a lovely summer glow, but that never happens so the stuff our of the bottle is the way forward. At the moment I am using the Palmer's Cocoa Butter Gradual Tan but I actually did a post all about my tanning routine in a lot more detail so you can read it here if you like. Next is something I don't hear many people talking about in summer essentials posts, but it is a cooling mist. On a really hot day when all you want to do is lay in a bath of ice cold water, a cooling mist is a lifesaver because it it really refreshing and as the bottle suggests it cools you down really well. This one is the Beauty Formula's Gentle To Skin Instant Cooling Mist but there are loads of different ones in places like Boots. This may be one of these TMI products, but oh well... every girl shaves their legs but in the summer it becomes a regular chore (*sigh*). When I go away and know I will be needed to shave my legs it is such a hassle bringing a huge big and bulk bottle of shaving cream that takes up your whole wash bag. Instead this is a small bottle and great for travelling, I would recommend picking up a mini shaving cream as they are so much more convenient.
Picture this... laying outside under the sun, reading your favourite magazine with your summer shades whist listening to the ultimate summer playlist. Yep, it sounds like pure bliss, doesn't it? I don't have much else to say except this scenario reminds me so much of summer and I need all these things during summer. Finally summer isn't complete without smell super fresh and good. This summer I will be wearing Pois De Senteur by Fragonard Parfumeur.
