Summer Must Haves!

Hey Beauties,

So I know that Summer arrives a while ago, but to be honest, it has only just started to become warm in Tasmania. Cause apparently this year is meant to be the coldest year we have had or something like that. But when I am posting this, it has been 35 degrees, and during this week it is meant to stick between 23 - 31 which is absolutley beautiful. I've been waiting (and dreading) for this weather to come about.

Why dreading? I'm seriously more of a winter girl than a summer girl. I don't like tans, and I don't tan, I hate the sticky feeling, I hate the fact that I sweat, if its a warm day with a top of 25, its fine, but over that I just - Nope. Don't like it. And I know, how un-Australian of me! But we all have our own opinions, right?

So heres what I've included. Some things aren't pictured in the...picture, mainly cause it was late and I really could not be bothered trying to set it all up, but I think you get the overall idea.

Sunscreen: This is a definate must have for the summer. You don't want to be getting burnt (Unless your like me and get burnt even when you have sunscreen on e.e) and you want to be protecting your body from the rays of the sun. I'm showing the Banana Boat Mineral Protect Sunscreen which I got in my Bellabox a few months back.

BB Cream: You don't really want to be wearing heavy, cakey make-up in the summer time, so its probably best to wear something lighter. If you have a light foundation thats fine too, but I'd prefer the BB Cream as its pretty good for the skin. I'm featuring Maybelline's Dream Pure BB Cream with 2% Salycilic Acid, which is my chosen favorite.

Sunglasses: No one likes squinty eyeballs, lets just face it, not that attractive, sunglasses are another great way to protect yourself from the sun, I'm unsure where I got mine from as they were purchased second hand, but I think they may possibly be Jay Jays (They look like a pair they would sell in my opinion)

Cardigan: This is one item not shown in the picture. I'm only suggesting a cardigan as it may cool down of the night time, and, I don't know if this happens anywhere else, but at Tasmania, our beaches get freezing. So its just a good little extra to have just to have as a just-in-case item.

Long Lasting Lipstick: You don't want to be re-applying your lips while your at the beach, heck, your lipstick would most likely get sandy while at the beach so why would you take it in the first place? Beats me. Anyway, I've included the only long lasting lipsticks I own, which are both from the Rimmel Kate Moss Collection, The black one is in Shade 04, which is a dark purple, my very first lipstick purchase (I went through a goth phase, okay!) and I think the other one is in 104 or 106, its the nude pink shade - Yes it was going to be in a giveaway but I've decided on another one.

Thongs: Flip-Flops, Sandals, whatever you want to call them, I call them thongs, these are a must have for hanging down at the beach. I suprisingly only have 3 pairs, 2 of which are mens (I find them comfortable I cannot stand womens ones) Wait no I own 4, I forgot about my seafolly ones, whoops.

Hair Accesories: Hair ties, bobby pins, hair bands, whatever. I've recently had my hair all cut off - post coming soon about that, but I know what its like when its summer, and its boiling hot and all your saying is "HAIR GET THE F#$K OFF MY BODY" so it just makes sense to put it up right?

Anyway, they are my main essentials for summer. What would your main item be? Is there something I forgot, there probably is.

Keep Smiling,
