It's not often I venture out to the beach, I'm more partial to sitting in the comfort of my own home totally sunscreened up looking all white and greasy 
Minimal products only here, of course going to the beach means sunglasses are on which rules out eye makeup, and knowing me they are massively oversized which also rules out quite a bit of face products causing me to only reach for concealer!

When I'm not applying too much on my face I like to apply something really lovely to my nails to make myself feel a little more polished. Beachy makeup isn't really my thing, it gets sweated off (lovely) or washed away by the sea water, this 'On Location' post is a little more than what's included on my face, it includes hair nails and body too!
Nails
- Essie Tart Deco - a gorgeous bright peach that really enhances a tan
Body
- For some sun protection I've been using Institut Estederm Adapta sun (post here) which doesn't work like a typical sun protection with SPF but instead uses ingredients to help your skin adapt to its environment. I've still got a little left in my UV InCellium Spray which I'm using as a refresher whilst tanning (post here)
Face
- Chantecaille Ultra Sun Protection SPF 50 PA+++ o (post here) for some sun protection as it leaves absolutely no white residue on my face and leaves a lovely matte finish. Followed by Make Up For Ever Waterproof Concealer on any blemishes or redness (post here)
Hair
- Alright so my hair is a little on the frizzy side in this humidity and to combat that I use Fekkai Silky Straight Ironless Serum and a little bit of Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray to enhance beachy waves and add some texture and volume. If the wind causes some out of control knots a little spritz of Klorane Leave In Detangler will sort that out.
The dress I'm wearing was a market find from Ibiza and I'm in love with it! It's probably my most worn item this summer, something that's so easy to throw on and will go with anything 
What do you wear to the beach?
Beautiful photos! Surely this can't be the UK? It looks too pretty :)

DeleteYou're such a stunner! I love the dress and oversized hat - that's what I'll be wearing a lot when summer comes around in Australia!
ReplyDeleteGood decision not to wear a lot of makeup - it would just melt off in the hot summer sun! :)

DeleteI also use 50+ sunscreen on my face as I am so fair - I use La Roche Posay, not sure I can quite stretch to Chantecaille!

DeleteYou actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something
ReplyDeletethat I think I would never understand. It seems too complex
and very broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
