Sooo, our favourite time of the year is almost here! Are you ready for the spring break? And most important of all, is your wardrobe and make up spring ready? It is the high time to get your closet updated. Whether you are going to a sunny beach or staying in your home town – there are a couple of things you need to take care of in order to look fabulous this spring.
Pre-holiday preparation
First of all, you need to take care of the hydration of your skin. Get at least eight glasses of water per day in order to have a radiant skin with a healthy glow. Bear in mind that all those cocktails seem hydrating but in fact all they do is strip the water from the body. You need to have an extra glass of water along with the mojito you are about to drink. Not only will you wake up without a hangover, your skin will be and look grateful.
Secondly, go for waxing couple of days before tanning at the beach or by the pool. What you do not want to experience is an awful rash caused by exposure to sun just after you got waxed. This procedure is important for the overall care of your skin as it will peel off the dead skin cells and leave your hair shiny and healthy.
Thirdly, have your skin sun ready by applying sunscreen on a daily basis. Go for at least SPF 15 and remember the higher the number the more protected you are. Make sure you cover every inch of your body, yes I mean lips too – you have to go for lipsticks with the protection against UVA and UVB rays. Believe me, once you go for sunbathing, your skin will be completely ready and you will avoid the dreadful sunburns.
New clothes please
It is the time to ditch the dull winter colours and embrace the exotic, vibrant spring outfits! You need to rock the beachy effortless look by wearing a lightweight dress you can match with aviators and a hat which will protect you from the sun. You could nail this look by adding a half moon bag that is a major hit this season.
Whatever you are about to do this spring break, it is best done wearing a pair of denim shorts. It can have a bit of a boho vibe if you add up a lot of bracelets and a lacy white top which will highlight your new tan.
Of course, there is one thing you absolutely need this spring – swimsuit. No spring break is perfect without hitting the beaches or pools, so be sure to make a good choice when it comes to purchasing the right swimming suit. You are lucky because the trends are all about the curve-enhancing items, and those of us who have gained a couple of pounds during the holidays will love the tummy-slimming effects the masterminds behind latest women’s swimwear offer us this year.
Embrace the bold sunglasses. This spring we will be mad about bright colours and frames which are oversized. Not only will you look stylish, but you will keep protecting your eyes! Go for vibrantly coloured ones to get the perfect spring break look.
Spice up the make up game
What you need to think about right now is getting the travel-size make up so that you will save a lot of space in your suitcase! Believe me, carrying around all those make up items will only make you lose your mind instead of relax in the sun. However, travel-size cosmetics is what you need to stay perfectly beautiful and relaxed during the spring break.
Go for blue eye shadows. This trend is here to stay, so go for bluish hues to get a protruding look that everyone will compliment you on. This style is perfect for any eye colour so you need not worry about experimenting with it. Trust me, you and everyone else will love it!
Exaggerated lashes are the trend of the year, so think about embracing them! If you have always wanted to have a doll-like look, you are lucky, because the latest trend is all about recreating the doll eyes look.
Creamy lipsticks are a must, so be sure to pick up a travel-size one that will spi
ce up your holiday! Forget about the mundane red lipstick, this spring we want to rock creamy hues!
Natural hair, yes please
You will be thrilled to hear that this spring messy natural-like hair is all the rage. Just let your hair down and enjoy the waves you got after swimming in the sea, you will look stylish with the minimal effort! What is more, you can easily use this kind of hairstyle for effortless outfits.
Get your skin ready and clothes updated as the spring break is almost here! The new trends are more appealing than ever and I promise you will enjoy them.
