My #1 Must have Summer Beauty Essential is the NYM or Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray! I have been buying this for 2 years now, it works wonderfully on my hair. When you spray it on your hair it give you the perfect beachy waves without all the effort and it smells amazing too! This is 4.98 at Walmart where I get mine but I have also seen NYM products at Ulta, CVS, and Walgreens! Beach Babe comes in full and travel sizes, pictured above is the travel size.
Next is the ELF Makeup Mist and Set! I spray this on my face before and after I apply my makeup. This helps my makeup stay on all day through everything. I have tried other setting sprays but I always come back to this one. Its a great quality and for only 3.00 you can't beat it! You can find this at Walmart, Walgreens, Target, and Online.

I have three go to lip essentials for summer. One of them is my Ocean Potion Moisturizing Lip Potion which I already have a review and info on in the post below this! But, again this chapstick is amazing and leaves my lips so soft! Next is my Alba Pineapple Quench Lip Balm, I have been using this lip balm for a LONG time. It smells so good, like pineapples and Hawaii its just YUM! My lips are so nice after I use it, its not too greasy, not too thick, its perfect! Plus it has SPF!
My last lip product is the City Color Lip Balm in Light Pink. This reminds me of the Revlon Lip butters or the Maybelline Color Whispers but at a fraction of the price! This lip balm leaves the perfect wash of color over my lips, not too much, not too heavy, just a light wash of color. I love it! This lip balm has vitamin E to make your lips super soft as well! Also this lip balm smells like fruit loops and who doesn't like fruit loops?

Next is my Physician's Formula Organic Wear Mascara, the green tube. I love this mascara, it looks very natural on my lashes, perfect for summer. It separates and lengthens my lashes but not dramatically and it doesn't clump up! I can do 3 or 4 coats on my lashes and not get ANY clumps! It doesn't flake or smudge, its just absolutely perfect especially for a drugstore mascara!
One of my favorite things which is NEW this summer but I have already used several times is the Coppertone Tattoo GUARD Sunscreen Stick. I have several tattoos on my legs, feet, and hands and I was always told to put baby sunscreen on them because it protects more and isn't harsh on my tattoos. I was never good at remembering that but then Coppertone came out with the Tattoo GUARD and having a certain product just for my tattoos is nice. This protects my tattoos, its fantastic. I don't have to worry about my tattoos getting sunburnt and losing color, they're safe and look great! This is available at Walmart, Target, CVS, and Walgreens as far as I know. This comes in the stick form which I have pictured which is great for smaller tattoos or leg and arm tattoos but they also make a lotion form of the tattoo GUARD.

Another Sunscreen Product that I use for everything that isn't my tattoos is the Ocean Potion SPF 50 Dab-On Stick. Ocean Potion makes great products, I am obsessed with them. I have never been sunburnt while wearing this sunscreen, it doesn't smell horrible like some sunscreens I have tried and its great to just put in your purse and you have it in emergencies. Like the name says its just a dab-on sunscreen stick, no mess, no fuss. Its so easy to use and is also a Matte Finish so great to use under your makeup!

Also for After- Sun I recommend Ocean Potion's Instant Burn Relief ICE + Skin Repair!
I have included a brown eyeliner in my Summer Beauty Essentials, eyeliner all depends on your personal preference. I love to wear brown eyeliner in the summer, its not as harsh and looks more natural. I so prefer a waterproof eyeliner in the summer because you do sweat and you don't want your makeup to run plus you never know when your going to go swimming!
My City Color BB Cream has quickly became my summer BB Cream Go To! Again from City Color, I am in the shade light in this BB Cream. Its light coverage as most BB Creams are and it feels like I literally have nothing on my skin. This BB Cream isn't greasy. I have extremely oily skin especially in the summer and this doesn't cake up or melt off of my face or clog my pores. If your looking for a new BB Cream or trying to find a great BB Cream for Oily Skin I highly recommend this!

Next is my Yes to Grapefruit Dark Spot Correcting Serum. I have dark spots on my face and in the summer they come out more with sunburns and tanning. This helps them fade quickly. This also works for acne scarring and hyperpigmentation. It easily absorbs into your skin and smells very good! A little goes a long way with this product!
I put a hand sanitizer into my Summer Beauty Essentials because in the summer we all go places and do fun things where there are a lot of other people and germs are everywhere! Its always good to have one in your purse or beach bag. The hand sanitizer pictured is Coconut Cove from Bath and Body Works.
Last but not least is my go to Summer Moisturizer! This is the Clean Scene Begging for Balance Moisturizer from Murad. This is from their teen skin care line. This doesn't make my face oily, it soaks into my skin quickly. This moisturizer is oil free and leaves my skin smooth but not shiny!
