Hello everyone! Sorry I have not blogged in a while I have been away on a mini break to Stockholm, Sweden. (Blog post to follow soon of my trip!). I have a few ESSENTIALS that I have reviewed for you all that are all an absolute MUST-HAVE for summer.
1. Delph Sun Care
“Protective sun cream is an absolute must. The Delph sun care range offers no-compromise sun protection at a fraction of the designer range cost. Delph sun care offers a comprehensive range of products from SPF 15 to 50, giving you complete protection for the whole family. The range has been fully tested to medical standards, and is one of only five sun creams listed on the UK Drug Tariff, meaning it can be prescribed by GP’s. The range also offeres a selection of aftersun products in lotion and gel formulations”
I reviewed SPF 15 which is a great protection against the English sun. It has been rather hot recently so it was handy having this essential in my bag to protect my skin from the sun. As well as protecting you from the sun, the lotion moisturises your skin and leaves it feeling so soft! The lotion isn’t thick either so it smooths on evenly and a little bit goes far. Unlike brands like Piz Buin – even though their sun cream is probably within the top 10, it is rather thick and I tend to use up an average sized bottle quick quickly. So this sun lotion will definitely save you money as it goes a lot further. It also has a very nice fragrance; a fruity soap kinda of smell. I would definitely recommend this sun lotion to all. RRP: Delph SPF 15 Lotion 150ml £3.49

Bio Sculpture
“Bio Sculpture is the original gel nail and everlasting manicure. Each manicure lasts up to 3 weeks and pedicures up to 6. With a over 150 colours to choose from you will be spoilt for choice this summer. The NEW Bio Sculpture Gel Carnival Collection has been inspired by the kaleidoscope of exotic colour seen during Carnival. These bright and lively colours will make a bold fashion statement this Summer and are the perfect nail collection for the WorldCup. Choose from Favella Sunrise, Samba Your Socks Off, Havana Nights and Ipanema Sunset.
OMG, I actually fell in LOVE with this nail varnish. Usually when I paint my nails it chips as soon as it’s dried. But this one, na-uh! It was amazing. I mean I have never had actual gel nails before but from what I know it was very similar. I reviewed varnishs in a fluro orange colour, bright pink and clear. I have to say though that the orange was my fave – slightly bias though as I do prefer orange to pink! Anyway, the varnish dried very quickly and I painted 2 coats onto my nails for an even coverage. It definitely looked shinier than normal nail varnish and was a lot thicker on the nail. I still can’t get over how long the varnish lasted for on my nails! It was about a week. Now on my nails, that IS amazing! I would highly recommend this varnish to everyone. I know it’s slightly pricey, but it is definitely worth the money.

Sunkissed Tanning Collection
“The new SUNKISSED Gradual Tanning Lotion gives you a beautiful healthy looking tan in just 2-4 hours. Non-sticky and fast-drying, this self-tan moisturises skin with Shea Butter and Vitamin E, leaving it soft, smooth and smelling gorgeous. Available in light and medium shades. £4.99″
This gradual tanning lotion is definitely on my top list of tanning. I reviewed a light shade and it definitely gave my skin a soft glow. I am rather pale at the moment – haven’t managed to have a sun bed in a looonggg time! The lotion comes in a fairly big bottle so will last a while. It’s a gradual tan so you do have to keep reapplying to build it up and keep your glow. The lotion has an amazing fragrance and leaves your skin feeling silky. It’s easy to apply just with your hands, you just got to remember to wash your hands after! That’s one thing I tend to forget and then the next day I wake up with orange hands – and that’s never a good look. RRP:£4.99 from Superdrug
4. MyChelle Fruit Enzyme Mist
“This beautiful fruited scented mist is this summer’s handbag essential. It powerfully repairs youthful radiance while balancing moisture levels and creating ultra- soft and smooth skin. It can be applied after cleansing or throughout the day on top of make up for extra hydration. C – rich super fruit Mangosteen supports collagen to help skin maintain youthful looking firmness and structure. This facial mist is perfect for any occasion, as it will lightly hydrate and enhance your skin throughout summer.
This mist was amazing. It has such a nice smell, like a lemons and lime fragrance. This came in handy when it was baking hot on the tubes in London last week and the week before! All you do is spritz it on your face and it helps you rehydrate. Honestly if your feeling overly hot and spray this, it really does cool you down. I think you are meant to use it on natural skin, however I used it on top of my make up and it was absolutely fine, my make up did not move at all. Only thing is I would recommend spraying it a little further than 12inches in front of your face than the recommended distance. This would be the perfect essential for by the pool side and your in need of a cooling down.
5. DenTek Travel Floss Pick & Case
“DenTek’s new travel floss picks come packaged in a bright yet small and discreet case, making it the ultimate travel essential for this summer. Research has found that the bacterial plaque that hides on the back of your teeth has been linked to a number of serious health issues, as the bacteria that is collected in the mouth can enter into the bloodstream, which can trigger INFLAMMATION in the ARTERIES. Go beyond brushing and make DenTek your summer travel essential”
These mini packs of travel floss are perfect for your handbag. If you’re heading out to a restaurant for an evening meal these will definitely come in handy. A great essential for your hand luggage or hold suitcase for your holiday to save weight. You won’t need to bring your mouthwash with these as they have a lovely minty taste.

I hope my reviews of these products have helped you out and given you some ideas of your Summer Essentials.
