You know the famous saying, “Don’t step out without slathering your sunscreen on!!” Oh well, its a famous saying in my house. My mom and grandmom go on and on about how it was in the olden days and how we need to slather on a sunscreen nowadays! Yep, sunscreen is an essential product that has to somehow find a way into your vanity.
Coming to today’s topic, what are your summer essentials?
My summer essentials are: a sunscreen (of course!), a skin lightening face wash, a mild scrub, anti-tan pack and a lip balm in terms of skincare and in terms of makeup, a BB cream, a peach powder blush and a pink or an orange lipstick.
lotus sunscreen spf 70, lakme rose powder, maybelline colossal kajal, maybelline lipstick in fruit punch, lots and lots of wet wipes and obviously a good deo…:)

fruit punch is such a pretty color!! love your list!
Just the same as yours, but my masks have to be specifically mud-based since they kind of draw out the oil from the deep 😛
😀 😀 good one 😀 i have the driest skin ever!! it looks like those cracked grounds 😛
I like what u have listed out especially the peach powder blush and orange lipstick part..My summer must haves are my Fabindia sunscreen, the maybelline gel liner, a matte lipstick, peachy rose powder blush and Mac face and body foundation.
Thanks Parul 🙂
How is the MAC Face and Body foundation? I heard it works really well on dry skin.. And which peachy rose blush do you reach out for often?
he he…ORANGE lipstick..:P you know what i am getting influenced by your love for orange in makeup 😛 bought the orange blush “Mandarin” from kryolan to get into the summer makeup 🙂
Well, My list includes, Lotus sunblock spray SPF 50, A Tinted Moisturiser/BB cream, Super Fine Compact like Maybelline’s,lots of MUD-based face packs , skin fresheners – rose water or citrusy sprays , light shades of peach blushers and coral lippies 🙂
Ooooh!! welcome to my world 😉 Mandarin is a gorgeous shade to start with 😀 😀
And thats an awesome list Madhu! <3 🙂
Still stuck to Orange, are you 😀 . . . i have oodles of sunscreen, like one for afternoon outing, one for body, one low SPF thing for evening, because I get tanned in seconds 🙂 . . .other than that a skin lightening/ soothing cream for post -sun is a must for me. Other than that my basic nude lippy, BB creams for the tint and floral cotton tops 😀
lol orange is one color i can never stop loving.. just when i think I’ve seen enough of orange makeup, it completely surprises me and i fall in love all over again! 😀
Loved your list and the idea of sunscreens with different SPFs 🙂
Hmmm… Looks like my list will be the shortest and most boring one here 😛 Neutrogena sunblock, vichy lip balm, chambor soft rose blush, organic surge face wash and whatever i find in the kitchen becomes my face pack, tats it! 😉
How is the Vichy Lip balm? Good for dry chapped lips?
Nope! It’s fine for me in summer but during winter it wont be of any help for my dry and chapped lips.. For the same cost i guess it’s better to try Forest Essentials lip balm which has got many rave reviews (it’s on my wishlist!)..
