Some of the beauty supplies that you carry with you from work to evening events will remain constant no matter what the time of year. Others may find a place during one season, but will be hopelessly out of place the next. If you have not summerized your beauty bag yet, it is not too late to get the supplies in place that will help you to beat the heat and look your best.

Supply #1: Sun Protection

Did you really think you would get by without hearing one more reminder to wear your sunscreen? Your sun protection on the go should also include a lip balm with an SPF to keep your kisser burn free as well. For fun, make it a tinted lip cover with a yummy smell like coconut or mango. Hey, it’s summer!

Supply #2: Blotting Papers

Hot temperatures can bring a shine to the coolest face, and too much powder to cover it up can begin to make you look pasty in the summer sun. The solution to your oil production can be as easy as using a blotting paper whenever you begin to shine. A refreshing spritz of a hydrating spray can refresh your complexion as well.

Supply #3: Body Spray

While most of us prefer to “glisten”, perspiration is indeed an unfortunate byproduct of the summer months. To help keep you feeling and smelling your freshest, tuck a miniature body spray into your cosmetic bag. Unlike cologne or perfume, you can spray these numerous times a day for a refreshing fragrance boost. Isn’t it great that you can find these luscious scents in purse size?

Supply #4: One Really Cool Hair Accessory

It can be a barrette, clip or headband. But when the temperatures rise and your locks begin to droop, you will find yourself grateful when you can put that fizzling do into some sort of order. A miniature bottle of hairspray can also help you tame the frizzies or keep unruly strands in line.

Supply #5: Funky Shades

This may go back to the sun protection category, but sunglasses can also make or break your summer fashion statement while protecting your beautiful peepers from the sun’s glare. This year, you can try a pair lined with rhinestones of every color and pattern. What a great way to go glam for the season!

Summer is full of fun and sunshine, but too much of a good thing can begin to wreak havoc on your looks. With a well-stocked cosmetic bag, you will be prepared to look your best no matter what the season decides to throw at you. Prepare to be gorgeous!
