Hi Ann!
I landed a summer job on a boat and was hoping you could give me some product suggestions. I’ve never spent a summer without a hairdryer, so I’m not sure what products would be best for my (long and straight) hair after spending a day in the sun. Waterproof mascara? Sunscreen favorites? My mom is going on a beauty supply hunt this week so she can bring me products when she visits from the U.S.A. (did I mention that this boat is in the Agean?). I hope you had a lovely time in Cyprus. I’m a huge fan of your blogs!

Did I mention I hate your guts love boating? Here are my cult beauty favorites, from my many MANY trips on a boat* over the years.

                 

1. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock ($11.39) The sun reflected from the water  + the wind = the most painful skin ever, so start an intimate relationship with the quickest, easiest sunscreen ever.  Spray it in your hand and apply to your face.

2. Aveda Sun Care After-Sun Hair Masque ($26.00) You will need to quench your hair like crazy.  Smells and feels amazing; use it daily instead of conditioner.

3. Clarins Double Fix Mascara Waterproof Seal ($22.00) One of my favorite cult lash products - lets you waterproof your favorite mascara- FOR REAL (you can also use it to waterproof liner).

4. Organic Surge First Class Mask ($9.99) Your face really does get parched on the water; this is a great moisturizing mask that refreshes without being heavy … great even for acne-prone skin.

Seriously though, have an amazing trip and thanks so much for your kind words.  Bring/use a lot of SPF lip balm as well.  Lips get crazy chapped at sea. 

P.S. MEMORIZE THIS NOW.
