Being that I’ll be turning 44 in a little over five months (GAH!!) I have become slightly obsessed with tracking down serums, potions and beauty essentials that will keep those fine eye and mouth lines at bay. Of course my 15 year old makes it a point to remind me on a regular basis that the mole on my forehead seems to be growing larger by the day- but that is a post for another day. But of truth be told I have to admit growing older I’ve found that certain things seems to be growing while others are shrinking. And while I know attaining the taut, creamy skin of say my 15 year old daughter would be a PARTING OF THE RED SEA type of miracle, I am not ready to give up on my skin or my body when it comes to my daily workout routine or even a weekend away. I always like to be prepared with the essentials!
So whether you are going to Coachella, or you are planning a weekend away , it’s never too early to start thinking about what you need to pack! Be sure to have these beauty necessities ready before you head to the desert or the bed and breakfast – so you’ll be looking fresh, styled and festival ready all weekend long! Here are just a few of my must have beauty essentials that will take you to super party and pretty in two shakes of a lamb’s tail!
Get tousled beach waves with the Cuvée Beauty Champagne Spray.
A styling spray that creates definition for a lived-in, tousled look. This signature product creates elegant movement and effortless waves for a piece-y modern silhouette. Their lightweight formula has a clean feel leaving you with second day hair every day. ($45; Revolve.com)

OMG I Love those little lip tattoos. What a cute idea this is. I need to get some 🙂
What fun products! Never heard of Cuvee before – but always want beachy waves! And happy almost birthday to you!
those lip tattoos look so fun! These are some great bag essentials for sure.
I need to try these products! I am all about trying new make up and beauty products this year, so adding to my list!
Love the spray, but the price is a little much for my beauty supply budget. I’m not sure I’d do the lip tattoos, my 17 year old and her friends would surely have a laugh. I do want to get some of that deodorant though!
There’s nothing wrong with aging and your aging beautifully. It’s a natural part of life. The lip tattoos would be so much fun to do for a festival!
Lip tattoos? Where do they go? LOL, I haven’t seen such a thing before!
These look like great items! The “healthy deodorant” got my attention…seems interesting
I love the look of the violent lips. So cool Very nice choices here.
I just turned 42 and have been obsessed with serums as well so I feel your pain! 🙁 …. Those ideas are super fun though! The lip tattoos would be perfect for Coachella!
That deodorant looks so amazing!! I’m so tempted to go out and buy it!
I would love to sample that vanilla natural deodorant. I love that scent and I am curious to see if it really keeps you dry and odor free.
That Lavanila deodorant looks like exactly what I’ve been looking for. Hope I can find it in the UK too! I love natural deodorants for those mornings when I’m doing yoga, they’re brilliant for that x
The lip tattoos are so cool! I’d like to try Lavanila deodorant as it has a vanilla scent and that for sure is a lovely scent.
Wow, you have some neat things featured!! I have never seen the lip tattoos, but I know my daughter would love them!!!
Those lip appliques are really cool! I haven’t seen anything like them before. I bet those would make you the talk of the party.
I love that lavanilla deodorant!! I used to have it in lavender. I have never seen those lip tattoos, but I may pick some up to do something fun with!!
I have been wanting to try that lavanila deodorant for some time now! I think I just might get it and finally give it a try…
