Top 10 summer must haves in your bag!

Summer is knocking on the door and it is high time you be summer ready now! While for some summers means happiness in the form of beach vacations, flip-flops and shorts, but for others summers can be a matter of tension (like for my mom, she loathes summer to no end).

This summer get ready to take on the sun! Wondering how? 

Read about these top 10 summer haves in your bag and you would be majorly sorted. 

 1.      Lip Balm

In this heat bid goodbye to lipstick and lip gloss. This summer stick to the quintessential lip balm. Strawberry or mango, chocolate or passion fruit – you are spoiled for choices. Although they are light on your lips, but keep them hydrated and moisturized. Use the ones with a slight tinge of color to replace lipstick and rediscover summer fashion.

Be summer ready and carry your favorite lip balm in your bag.

 2.      Sunscreen

How can you forget the ultimate sun protection in summers? Sunscreen is a top priority for me and one should never step out of the house without applying sun block lotion.

The market is full of a large number of variants – sun block creams, gels, sprays, matte finish sunscreen lotions and a lot more. Get one according to your skin type. Also it is essential to find the right SPF protection for you. Talk to a dermatologist to know which sun protection would best suit your skin.

Note – Always apply the sunscreen 15 – 20 minutes before stepping out in the sun. Make sure that the sunscreen you buy has both UVA and UVB protection.

 3.      Make up

Summers can be disastrous for your skin. The harsh sun and the intense heat are nothing less than a terror attack.

Keeping your makeup necessities in a small make-up pouch in your handbag will go a long way. A quick touch up before the client meeting or a dash of kohl before going out for a team lunch, make-up in your bag is always helpful.

Cuteness Alert!

 4.      Water Bottle

Keeping yourself hydrated is very important. And in summers it becomes all the more important. Keep a small bottle of water in your bag! You can always fill it with the evergreen roohafza, lassi (buttermilk) or nimbu pani (fresh lime water) and kick away the heat and de-hydration.

A water bottle is an essential summer must have in your bag.

 5.      Umbrella

Gone are the days when umbrellas were boring blacks. This summer make a unique style statement with pretty umbrellas. They prove to be a great protection for your hair and skin against the harsh sun. A must have in your bag for summers.

Invest in a stunning triple fold umbrella that can easily fit in your bag and you are ready to take on the sun!

Okay! this wont fit in your bag, but look how cute it is. 

 6.      Sunnies

The only reason I like summers is because I can flaunt my Ray Bans often. Make a supreme style statement by experimenting with different styles of sunglasses. The classic aviators, the ultra-chic reflectors and the latest fad – lennons, you have so many options available. Also floral frames and colored lennons are surely a must have for summer 2015.

Note – Don’t be a fashion slave and choose the right sunglasses. Get the ones that suit your face cut and you would rock the look.

This summer be the real 'Ray Ban' ke takke ;)

 7.      Perfume / Deodorant

Kill the summer heat and spread the demure fragrance! Smelling good is always is a good option. Carrying a small deo/perfume in your bag is highly recommended.

Don’t carry glass bottles or vials, because if they break they bring heartbreaks complimentary.

 8.      Hand Sanitizer

Germ free and healthy!

It is fact that summers bring with them a lot of infections. But now you can keep the infections at bay and take precautions. A hand sanitizer comes handy on the go. A few drops and you are sorted. Surely a must have in your bag for summers, in fact for all seasons.

  9.    Express Facewash

Carry a small tube of face wash in your bag for a quick refreshing splash. Wash away the dust and sweat and look as fresh as a daisy. Give your skin the much needed rejuvenation! You can always keep the face wash tube or bottle in your make-up pouch.

Instant Refreshment for your skin

 10.  Wet Wipes/ Tissues

Summers and sweat are synonymous! And with this sweat you get rashes and infection.

Instantly refresh yourself with a pleasant dab of wet wipes. Dirt, grime, oil and smudged makeup will all be gone in just a few seconds. You can choose wet wipes with aloe vera extracts, Vitamin E and essential oils for extra soothing effect. They are light for your skin and generally suit all skin types.

So this was my list of must haves that need to go in your bag for summer 2015.
