vacation essentials.

hello my sweet sweet readers!
i will be leaving this friday to go on our annual vacation,
to Daytona Beach Florida!
its litteraly my heaven and favorite place in the world.
this year is special since my sweet love (tyler) is going with us.
first boyfriend vacation, and i couldnt be happier//more excited.

so i put together my vacation essentials,
to share with all of you for the upcoming vacation season!


so lets start with the face.
you NEVER want to go to the beach wearing liquid foundation.
gross.
itll look to heavy, and you wont get any sun on your face.
my suggestion and my routine for all of summer is a face powder.
my favorite powder of all time is bare minerals original spf 15.
it does cost about $25.00 but its worth it.
goes on soo light you can hardly feel it.
perfect for a flawless face in the summer.

i really suggest wearing the minimum amount of makeup possible.
if your not tan yet, get a light powder blush to highlight the areas that would get sun.
(cheekbones, nose, forehead, chin)
an inexpensive but nice example os the e.l.f. powder blush.
get a light pink and tan color like bliss (soft blushed pink).
it runs at $5.00.

if you dont want to wear dark mascara,
but still want some volume and length,
a clear mascara is a great tool to have.
works like a mascara, minus the dark colors.
a cheap example again from e.l.f. is their wet gloss lash and brow clear mascara.
it runs at $1.00.

for evening looks, or if you cant stand not wearing any eyeliner or mascara,
its smart to buy a waterproof eyeliner and mascara.
this way, being in the ocean, pool, or even sweating wont let your makeup run.
and itll still stay on.
you can get both again from e.l.f. really inexpensively.
try e.l.f.'s waterproof lengthening & volumizing mascara ($3.00),
and waterproof eyelining pen ($1.00).

thats really all you need to have perfect vacation makeup.
you can use your normal eye shadows aswelll.
obviously i love e.l.f. cosemetics, caus they're so cheap and work really well.

hope this helps you ladies!

i'll be seeing ya when i get back loves.
love you all & have a great week.
xoxo.

  4. Ooh great post! I love these kind of posts - I'm always so fascinated by other people's make up tips haha. Above all other things, my must have beach/vacation essential is SPF 30+ sunscreen.

    Enjoy your trip!

  5. oh you're going to have so much fun, and with Tyler with you this time is going to be even more special.

    about the products u show us (I have to confess I wear nothing but sunscreen to go to the beach by the way) what about brozing powder? have you ever used them? how?...I'm thinking about it... I may try.
