Adriana’s beauty tip –
Here are my “must have” items to get me through the sun and fun! First off I can’t live without Frederik Fekkai’s Summer Hair Beach Waves. This product protects my locks from sun damage and helps create the natural “beach hair” everyone strives for. To stay hydrated when I’m out basking in the sun I always have a bottle of Fiji Water. You can always find Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist in my tote bag. Gotta protect my skin from aging and block the harmful UVA and burning UVB rays. To keep a fresh lip I use Mac’s Suntints SPF 20 Liquid Lip Balm in Pink Tinge.

When heading off to the beach, it's important to pack skin care items that will protect your skin from aging and harmful UVA and UVB rays of the sun. Many women out there have sensitive skin and that is one of the reasons why I recommend Clinique Sun SPF 50 Face Cream. Wearing an SPF 50 is extremely important for your face, ladies. The "lobster" look is not in Vogue nor is it healthy. I'm often asked how I keep my youthful appearance. One of the key reasons is that a woman must always protect her face the correct way. The Clinique SPF 50 face sun-block even has solar-activated antioxidants in it! In addition for your body, I recommend the Clinique Body Spray SPF 30 sun block. It’s very easy to use and you can spray it all over your body. For any hard to reach areas, you can always consult with an ultra-cute guy to spray it for you (wink, wink.) As we all know, the beach is a place for socializing and natural looking, moisturizing lip gloss is a beach bag "must have" to look fabulous. Go from the beach/pool to the pool-side bar or to lunch with your lips well-protected and glistening. Clinique's Long Last Glosswear in SPF 15 protects your lips and highlights that pretty smile! My favorite shade, which would be suitable for many skin tones, is Cabana Crush. Don't you just love the name?! Finally, don't forget to pack these items in a fashionably-cool beach bag. I suggest something bright and cheery!
Katty’s style tip –
Glamming poolside with an old, chipped mani & pedi is so 2009. Now going pro can cost a pretty penny. So if you’re budget conscientious, stop by the local drug store and pick up a few simple products/tools to do it on your own. First things first, get rid of that drab, dark color with a non-acetone remover. File your nails down to the desired shape. Soak your nails in warm soapy water for a few minutes to soften the cuticles. Next, dot your cuticles with cuticle cream and rub in, then push them back. Don’t forget to massage those pretty hands of yours with lotion for extra moisture. To prepare your nails for polish wipe them with a damp cloth. Apply a base coat and let it dry for one minute. Apply your favorite springtime color next. My new fave is Lilacism by Essie. Tip: Always apply polish by starting on the side of the nail. You should be able to cover the nail in three strokes. I always keep the nail polish and file in my beach tote incase of a nail chipping emergency. A great bod, a glam suit, and some styling nails help pull together the perfect swim season look.

You know how you’re supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, take fish oil capsules, and slather on the SPF for beautiful, healthy skin? Yeah, I totally don’t do any of that. So when I’m prepping for a day at the pool—or a hot date—I turn to Benefit Cosmetics Bathina Body So Fine for absolution. I buff my bod with this waxy balm post-shower and just like that—insanely silky skin. A quick smear on the legs and arms delivers a subtle sheen that I’m convinced makes my limbs look longer and leaner (no small feat at 5’1”). And even when my elbows are super-parched, and my thighs haven’t seen the light of day in six months, my skin ends up looking instantly dewy and irresistibly touchable, like all my epidermal sins have been forgiven.
With these spectacular tips and tricks we will be looking our best. Be sure to fill your tote up with these goodies and enjoy the spring time sunshine!
