GET SET TO GLOW ON YOUR SUMMER GIRLS TRIP

It's a universal thought that the best part of a girls trip isn’t actually going out – it’s getting ready to go out. It’s about the little shared rituals that only happen when it’s you and your friends in the hotel room, prepping for the day and night ahead. It's sitting on your balcony post-shower doing your makeup. It's skin that looks naturally glowy, healthy and real from a day spent in the sun, and salty sunkissed hair that somehow only goes right on holiday.

If that sounds like your kind of trip, this list is for you. Scroll for your definitive summer beauty packing list, from protective SPFs to skin tints with added nourishment and hair products that make styling a breeze.

Dr. Jart+ Every Sun Day Primer Sunscreen Stick SPF 30, £24

Every beauty look should start with SPF, especially when you’re on holiday. Dr. Jart+’s sunscreen stick packs a punch – not only does it have SPF30 protection, it’s packed with moisture-boosting hyaluronic acid and works as a primer under your makeup. It won’t leave a white cast either.

Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam Dark 200ml, £17.50

For a tan that doesn’t need to get the sun involved, look no further than Bondi Sands – the Aussie brand is the fake tan pioneer. Apply the lightweight foam with a mitt in long, sweeping strokes and a quick-drying, long-lasting glow is yours without any stickiness. It smells like coconut too.

bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Luminous Skin Tint Stick, £33.50

bareMinerals’ Skin Tint stick is buildable, so you can decide on the coverage and go from day to night glam in a swipe. Optical blurring technology has a smoothing effect without masking your natural complexion. Plus, it’s infused with vitamin E so it doesn’t dry skin out, and it’s waterproof too – perfect for the beach or the pool.

Revolution Lip Shift Ink Peel Off Lipliner Stain Rose Inked, £7

For lipliner that’ll stay on all day (and night), go for Revolution’s peel-off lip stain liner. Paint it on, leave for a minute and peel off to reveal a perfectly outlined pout. The result is smudge-proof, transfer-proof and waterproof – the ideal natural lip for a day by the pool or beach club.

Morphe Cheek Thrills Bronze & Tone Duo - Tulum Trip, £19

Morphe’s Bronze & Tone duo is meant to replicate the look of sun-kissed, post-vacation skin, so it’ll outlast your girls trip (but not your memories of it). The top pan is a cream formula while the bottom is a powder – wear them separately or layer the powder over the cream for a super-sculpted look that still feels naturally bronzed.

Hair By Sam McKnight Cool Girl Texturising Mist 250ml, £28

A texturising hair mist that doesn’t feel crunchy or sticky? That’s Hair by Sam McKnight’s Cool Girl spray. Pick your look – for an effortlessly undone beachy feel, turn your head upside down, spray it on and mess it up. Or use it to lightly set your style by spraying through the crown and ends. It’s scented with Sam’s personal blend of juniper wood, frankincense and waterlily – fresh and floral.
