Stay Hot and Fresh on the Go!

  It's hot. Really hot. And I know most of you are doing a lot of traveling this summer. Whether it be the beach, a lake, a river, Disney, cross country, overseas, grandma's house, whatever, you're moving around. You're probably getting sweaty and feeling gross too, I know I do, cause it ain't cool outside! But I can help, or give a little of advice, on how to stay fresh on the go!
  Below is a small list I have put together on what I think is essential to have with you this summer. Once again, this list is great for traveling or just for running around doing errands in the heat. I also included a couple of my favorite products, along with what I have been told work great as well!

Facial Wipes- Keeping facial wipes is a must! It's nice to wipe your face with something fresh and clean if you've been sweating. It's a great way to freshen up your face to either take off your makeup or to wipe away your day.
Simple Cleansing Wipes
Aveeno Ultra Calming Wipes
Pacifica Purify Coconut Water Cleansing Wipes
10.0.6 Makeup Removing Wipes

Lip Products with SPF- I hate it when my lips get sunburned and then turn super dry and chapped. Keeping lip products with you that has SPF in it is VERY handy.
Coola
Sun Bum
Hawaiian Tropic

Foundation and BB Cream with SPF- Like wearing lip products with SPF, wearing something on your face when you're not just on the beach or at the pool, is smart. I wear a foundation with SPF in it when I go to the pool and it not only makes me feel nice but it does keep my face from getting burned. 
Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation
Covergirl + Olay Anti-Aging Foundation
Covergirl Smoothers BB Cream

Nail Polish- This is obviously one of the more optional items. Keeping spare nail polish is just nice when you need to do a quick touch up on your fingers, or toes when wearing cute sandles. 

Shimmering Body Lotion- If you're showing a bare chest and shoulders, it's really sexy to be shimmery and glow-y when going out on a date, or out with friends. Just looks so chic!

Hair Ties- We have hair and it gets hot. 


These are obviously things I think are good to have with you. If you have anything else that you like to carry around with you, leave it in the comments! I'd love to hear it!

QUICK TIP - Elongating Eyes

  I just wanted to share a quick tip that I may or may not have shared in a previous post. If I did, well here it is again! It's a tip on how to elongate your eyes, maybe give them a more natural cat eye, without the eye liner. 
  First, grab your favorite mascara. Waterproof helps hold curl a little better! (Just FYI) Now all you have to do is brush your eyelashes, upper and lower, towards the outer part of your eye rather that brushing up, towards your eyebrows. What this does is just makes your eyes appear longer, feminine, sexy, and cat-like! Meow.
  Take a look: Can you tell which eye I tried to make look larger/longer?

**SORRY for the crazy facial expressions.
