Yay! It is FINALLY the summer holidays!! Well, at least for my school because we got to leave yesterday but some of the other schools I know are leaving on Wednesday so I guess I got lucky! Also, I don't know when any other countries' schools finish so if you live somewhere else and not the UK, then please comment down below because I would love to know where you come from and when your schools break up for the summer!
Anyway, I had loads more ideas for beauty in the summer so I decided to make another post about them. This is part 2 of my beauty tips for the summer...
This tip is to wear WATERPROOF mascara, or just anything waterproof because the summer is usually when you go down to the beach or swim in the pool. And if you are wearing a really nice mascara or eyeliner and you get splashed with water or you want to swim in the water, you don't want to end up looking like a melting panda (I love pandas but we are humans!). These two mascaras are my favourite mascaras at the moment, the purple one (just the colour of the tube, it is a normal black mascara!) is the Does It All Waterproof Mascara and the pink one is the Volumising Mascara. They are both by Collection.
The next tip is to wear lip balm because when the weather changes (which has happened a lot here in Britain!) your lips can get dry, this is not just when it is cold, it can also happen in the heat. If you didn't know already, my favourite lip balms are from The Body Shop. This lip balm is one of my favourite Born Lippy's, it is called Satsuma Shimmer and it has little specks of shimmer in it and smells so fruity! <3
I love facemasks, but I never find much time to do them unless it is in the holidays so this is my favourite thing to pamper myself with in the summer after a stressful school year. The first facemask is one that I haven't actually tried out yet but I really want to and it looks really good, it is by Quick Fix Facials (who do loads of different types of facemasks) and is the Anti-Blemish Mud Mask for oily and spot prone skin. As soon as I saw this on the shelf, I just knew I wanted to get it because my skin is very oily and spot prone which can be horrible so I really want to see if it works. Also, a bonus is it can do 10 facials!
The other two facemasks aren't necessarily ones that I have used before but I have used a couple of ones from the same place and I love them! They are from Superdrug and the first one is a Fruit Sorbet Antioxidant Peel-Off Mask. Now, I have had a bit of a nightmare with a previous peel-off mask because I ended up having to wash some of it out of my hair with the help of my friend when I was round hers! However I have decided to try it out again. The other one is a Cucumber Cooling Clay Mask which sounded cool (haha, get it?) because I like using other cucumber skin products as they feel nice and refreshing.
I am absolutely obsessed with dry shampoo and there is always a new one that I want to try out but I think that they are especially nice to use in the summer to put some volume and lightness into your hair. They are also meant to refresh your hair without having to use water which is useful, for me anyway, as my hair gets more easily greasy in the summer because the heat makes me sweat (yes, it is normal, as I said in the previous post!) and I have a fringe so it touches my face which makes my hair greasy. I don't know, I kind of researched that bit as I was wondering and I wanted to sound intelligent... but that failed!
I highly recommend these two dry shampoos, the left one is the Pantene Pro-V Dry Shampoo Instant Refresh and I've been using this one a lot recently. The right one is the Girlz Only Haircare Dry Shampoo and there are different colours for different things, this one is for 'Party Nights' but I also have the blue one which is 'Down 'til Dusk' and I have another one which is purple but I can't remember what it is called.
The last tip I have for the summer is to use a weather resistant hairspray because it keeps your hair in whatever style you want for such a long time even in the heat. This one is the VO5 High Volume hairspray and it holds your hair for a whole day and at the end of the day it still brushes out easily which is great because who wants to go through pain before going to bed? It also dries really fast which is good as I hate it when my hair is slightly sticky from hairspray, it doesn't show that you're wearing hairspray and, the reason why I think it is the prefect hairspray for summer, it isn't affected by humidity for 24 hours.
So that was all for my post today but don't worry, I am planning to post much more often during the next 6 weeks because I finally have more time! :) But for today, post soon xx
