summer survival



It's survival of the fittest in the most anticipated season of the year. From fun festivals to more formal occasions these beauty essentials are all you'll need in your arsenal.

Tribal trends aren't just on the catwalk - this bright beauty bag by Marc by Marc Jacobs looks hot and is perfectly sized to keep the following must-haves to hand.

Sun protection is essential - mist on Dermalogica Waterblock Solar Spray, a lightweight and waterproof alternative to cream with SPF30.
Keep hair hydrated with multi-award winning Moroccan Oil before styling with L'Oreal Super Dust - sprinkle at roots for amazing uplift and any oil absorption.

For face get creative with colourful lips - choose from glitter, metallic or leopard print in Violent Lips Tattoos to minimise make-up touch ups and leave a lasting impression. False lashes mean a full and flirty look without the messiness of mascara - try Shu Uemura 'Luxe' eyelashes for effective volume and length.
Eye make-up will stay on from dusk until dawn with Nars Smudgeproof Eye Primer - smooth a small amount from lashes to the crease of the lids for more vibrant and non-moving colour. MAC's Sized to Go collection includes cult beauty favourite Strobe Cream in a travel-sized container - use to highlight on cheek or brow bones, or mix with your make-up base for a glowing complexion.

Refresh and re-hydrate skin with Caudalie Beauty Elixir - this hero product will fix your make-up and add radiance whilst helping you keep your cool. For quick fix cleansing try Korres Pomegranate wipes - now available as part of a limited edition festival kit with Guava body products and Lip Butter stick.
Finally, don't forget one of the most important fashion accessories this summer - an eye-catching manicure. Orly's Electronica range features shimmering metallic 'Syncro,' a two-tone chrome effect polish inspired by 80's pop style.
