Summer Saviours
I know the summer days have been few and fair between, but on some days we really have had some gorgeous bursts of sunshine. I thought I'd do a post about the things I like to use to keep me calm and collected in the warmer months (few days.)
First up, the things I like to use before I even leave the house.
Sure Long Lasting Protection - I know its a bit of a taboo topic, and deodorant is something we all use, but on really hot days I make sure I use the best of the best deodorant to make sure I stay and smell fresh all day. There is nothing worse than the smell of BO in my opinion.
MUA Professional Eye Primer: To make sure my shadow doesn't slip and slide down my face I need a good eye primer, and that is what this is.
These things are what I like to keep in my bag.
Dry Shampoo: Now I don't keep this bottle in my bag, I keep a mini one, but I find that if I get a little sweaty (I know, tmi) I like to spray some dry shampoo in my hair to keep it looking fresh.
Vitamin E Face Mist: I wasn't blown away by this product at first, but now I love it. It really keeps my face fresh and cools me down when things get hot. Also, I read on Lauren's blog, that if you should get a face mist for daily use as the air and air conditioning can de-hydrate your skin, which is why your make-up starts to look greasy and spots appear.
Carmex Moisture Plus: I need lipbalm all the time, and this one is great as it has SPF in it.
Of course I make sure that I have sunblock with a good SPF in, I didn't picture it as I thought that would be a given!
What are your Summer Saviours?

I know this is a stupid question because I'm sure you like the dry shampoo otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned it, but does it leave the tell tale grey old lady hair that most seem to?! Because I can't stand it when dry shampoo just makes my hair look dull, grey and gross- I'd rather just wash it again! So if it doesn't I'll most certainly be purchasing!
