Beauty essentials for your holiday

Pack sensibly for your holiday with our checklist of beauty essentials

If you’re going away this summer, be it a family pool side venture or romantic beach retreat for two, every girl needs her holiday essentials. To save you the space, forget multiple creams and bottles and stick to Wave’s simple checklist of essentials. Besides, you’re going to need that extra room in your luggage for all those shoes and bags.

1 Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Waterproof Mascara, £9.99, Boots
Forget one mascara for the beach, another for sight seeing and one for night time. Pack it all in one with this little beauty and flutter lovely long lashes that won’t vanish when going for a dip.

2 Nails in Easy Breezy, £6, Make up at Topshop, www.topshop.co.uk
Add a girly pastel colour to your nails that will make your summer outfit pop whatever the pattern. Bright and fun, every girl needs gorgeous nails and with Topshop’s Easy Breezy you’ll feel fruity and free walking down the beach!

3 Décleor Aroma Sun Expert Protective Hydrating Milk SPF 30, £23.80, from www.decleor.co.uk
A little on the pricey side, but it’s doing the job of various products! Keep your skin healthy and hydrated this summer with this body milk that doesn’t just moisturise but protects too so you can enjoy the sun safely.

4 Barry M Glossy Tubes, £3.99, from www.barrym.com
Fabulous zesty colours that will bring your lips to life, this quick and easy tube makes application simple so you can always have full-looking lips that glimmer in the sunshine. These are so small we’ll forgive you for grabbing more than one shade.

5 Daily Mint Shampoo, £9.95, Fudge Hair Care, www.fudge.com
Get fresh and bouncy hair this holiday with peppermint and menthol that soothes and revives your hair after hours of soaking up the sun.

6 Lee Stafford Matt Fat Shaggy Texturising Paste, £7.19 from Boots
A little goes a long way with this product and it’s small enough to fit in your hand luggage too. Ideal for short to medium length hair, add some serious texture in an instant, by rubbing the product vigorously through the whole of the hair. The result? A ‘just got out of bed’ look with shaggy and matt hair that’s uber stylish.

7 ‘Dotty For You’ Rollasoles, £15.95, www.rollasole.com
We’re big fans of Rollasoles here at Wave – the rolled up shoes are a saviour after a night wearing uncomfortable high heeled shoes. The latest Rollasoles, these 1950s inspired Rockabilly peep-toe, polka dot beauties are on our holiday wishlist. An extra thick, luxurious sole makes them ultra comfortable and the peep-toe is flirty and fun. Wear on the plane, around the resort or on a night out. We’re sold!
