Summer is around the corner here in Oz, but whether you are reading this from a colder climate I think these ‘essentials’ still apply.
I’ve written plenty of times about how critical it is to include SPF in your skin care regime. I prefer something with a factor of 50+, but in the very least 15+ will protect you from sun damage. This Nutrimetics SPF 50+ Day Lotion is a great moisturiser to use under makeup as it absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave any traces of zinc on the skin like other high factor products can.
How long has it been since you’ve used Maybelline’s ‘Great Lash’ mascara? I hadn’t touched it since I was about 15 but on a recent holiday in the midst of a mascara emergency, I purchased all that was available to me in a country super market. And guess what? It’s great!
Go-To skincare is the invention of Aussie beauty guru Zoe Foster-Blake and this lovely lip balm does a great job of keeping your lips soft and supple, plus the packaging is gorgeous. That’s important right?!
Sachi Shoes latest collection is all about strappy sandals for Summer and these ‘Ebony’ heels incorporate snakeskin, black and white leather. I love a shoe that gives you multiple options and a chance to increase your cost-per-wear ratio because let’s face it, you want your heels working hard for you not the other way around.
Perhaps it’s a Sex And The City hangover but I still love my ‘Lady’ necklace from Mynamenecklace.com. And to top it all off I found this vintage Maroussia bangle in an op-shop, it’s from the Russian perfume label of the same name by Slavia Zaitsev. It was a thing in the 80’s, not sure of its popularity these days but I love the bright, yellow gold.
Happy shopping, what’s on your summer essentials list?
