This is not about Tiktok’s viral “What’s in my bag” trend. We girls are curious by nature. Sitting in a group of girls, we often can’t sit still until we’re aware of every other girl’s perfume, blush shade, and what compact powder she is using. With summer’s weather growing hotter and hotter, going out with the girls for brunch or getting ready for a date night out might sound challenging. With summer’s heat rising, whether you’re out for brunch or preparing for a night out, here’s your ultimate guide to summer bag essentials.
And no, we’re not talking about makeup products; those are a year-round staple!
WHAT’S IN MY BAG? I GOT SPF-SPRAY
We’re not just echoing dermatologists here—applying SPF every two hours is crucial, especially in summer. Since reapplying over makeup can be challenging, SPF-spray can be your savior.
ALSO, I DIDN’T FORGET OIL-ABSORBING SHEETS
For those with oily skin, wearing makeup in summer can be frustrating. To keep your makeup intact, start with a good setting spray. And always keep a pack of oil-absorbing sheets in your bag to prevent any unwanted shine.
WHAT ELSE? MY PERFUME.. BODY MIST, AND LOTION TOO
As temperatures soar, perfume tends to evaporate faster on your skin. Extend the life of your scent with a body mist and don’t forget to moisturize with a lightweight lotion.
OTHER STAPLES: HAIR PERFUME & HAIR BANDS
Combat the summer heat with essential hair accessories. A fragrant hair perfume can refresh your locks, while hair bands are a must for keeping cool and collected.
WE’RE NOT LEAVING IN THE MORNING WITHOUT SUNGLASSES
No summer morning outing is complete without a stylish pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes from the glaring sun.
LIGHT-WEIGHT HAND CREAM
Keep your hands hydrated with a lightweight hand cream that never leaves your bag. Avoid using thick formulated creams in summer as your skin will probably not absorb them.
DO WE NEED TO MENTION WATER?
Do we even need to mention this? Always keep a bottle of water in your bag to stay refreshed throughout the day.
This was our editor’s turn to do “What’s in my bag.” Now it’s yours. Happy summer!
