Spring Break is just days away, and trust me: you don't want to leave the house without these ten beauty essentials in your bag! 

Granted, we all can't go to the beach or take a vacay, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun--and it certainly doesn't mean we all don't want to look and feel like super sexy spring break babes!

I thought about this post waaay more than I probably should have, but that's because I care about y'all. If I were leaving for the beach Friday, these are the things I would pack. All of my picks work 24/7/365, but they are superstars when you add those two magic words:

SPRING.

BREAK.

Y'all ready? Let's do this! Spraaaaaang Break forever!

    Supergoop! Broad Spectrum Sunscreen Oil

    Sunscreen is a no-brainer. If you're out and about in the sun, slather up. You'll help to prevent skin cancer, age spots, and wrinkles--not to mention sunburn!

    I'm in L-O-V-E with my Supergoop! Sunscreen Oil because it makes sun prevention so easy. It's a pump, so you can spray the oil where you need and then gently rub it in--then you're good to go! It's a lightweight oil; it smells amazing, and it's SPF 50. Seriously--try Supergoop! sunscreen oil on your next vacay.

    Philosophy 'No Reason to Hide' Tinted Moisturizer

    If I am on vacation, I am not applying a full face of makeup. I am lazy, so anything that saves time gets a gold star in my book. This tinted Philosophy moisturizer will be your spring break jam--it provides enough coverage to conceal flaws while moisturizing your skin and giving you SPF 20 to ward off sun damage. It's a breeze to apply--just use your fingers!

    Benefit 'Puff Off!'

    Real Talk: my beauty BFF Morgan hooked me on this new product from Benefit. It's a cream that you apply to any bags you may have under your eyes; it even has an applicator shaped like an iron to assist in the smoothing action. I got a sample a few weeks ago, and I CAN NOT and WILL NOT live without my Puff Off!

    This little beaut can be used underneath or over makeup. I apply it first thing in the A.M. because it helps give me a well-rested look. Puff Off! is going to be your new bestie, especially after a night of spring break parties!

    (Or, in my case, because your toddler was up way past her bedtime and then woke you up at 5:45 on your day off. Yeah, I'm bout that life.)

    Becca Beach Tint Shimmer Souffle

    Beach Tint Shimmer Souffle is another vacay essential. I apply directly to my cheekbones and blend with my fingertips. It's like a sheer cream blush with a hint of shimmer. It's buildable, too; you can apply a little for a light flush or layer for a more intense cheekbone.

    Also it smells like candy, so NOM NOM NOM.

    Josie Maran Argan Illuminizer

    Josie Maran can do no wrong. I love her entire product line, and I am cray-zay about her Argan Illuminizer. It's like a big ol' bottle of sexy. You can use it as a highlighter, applying to the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, underneath your brow bones, etc--it attracts light which help your features stand out more.

    Try mixing a drop (a little goes a loooong way) with your tinted moisturizer or foundation for a super radiant complexion, or mix it with your after-sun lotion, applying to your chest, arms, and legs. You will look like a golden goddess.

    Say it with me: My Josie Maran Argan Illuminizer brings all the boys to the yard...

    Ole Henriksen Pure Truth Melting Cleanser

    I am OBSESSED with Ole Henriksen's Pure Truth Melting Cleanser. It really is THREE products in one; it starts as a gel, melts into an oil cleanser, and transforms into a hydrating milk when you rinse your face with warm water. Pure Truth will take off even the most stubborn eye makeup, and yet it leaves your face as soft as a baby's butt. It also delivers Vitamin C and smells like a creamsicle.

    The full size is like $40, but you can get a travel size for $12. The small size has lasted me for two months, BTW--great deal!

    Dr. Jart Water-Full Hydrogel Mask

    I used to NEVER sunburn--like never, but now I have to limit my exposure to sun lest I end up like an angry lobster. The WORST is getting burned on my face; my cheeks sting, and my skin gets so dry and tight. It's a skin emergency, and that means one thing...

    Paging Dr. Jart+!

    Dr. Jart+ is Korea's leading skin care brand, so you know it's legit. Use this mask to bring an emergency dose of moisture to parched skin. It's an actual mask, which is weird, but OMG--it feels amazing. 20 minutes later your skin is supple and soft and you feel like a new person.

    Pro Tip: put the mask in the fridge for like an hour or so before you use it. INSTANT SPA.

    Bumble and Bumble The Surf Set

    Spring Break = Beach Hair! Who doesn't go crazy for sexy surfside waves? This trio from Bumble and Bumble is the bee's knees. The shampoo and conditioner revive hair, leaving it shiny and soft, and their iconic surf spray gives you the beach waves of your dreams.

    I'm not even going anywhere for spring break, and I'm still buying this set. Bumble and Bumble is my jam!

    Essie 'Sand Tropez' Nail Polish

    I'm all about nude nails for spring and summer. I feel like I have tried just about every pastel and off-white polish ever known to man, and yet I never found one I really and truly LOVED...

    And then I found my Essie Sand Tropez! It's the perfect shade of, like, beige-y brown, and wearing it makes me feel so pretty. It's such a simple color, but it looks stunning. Try it at your next mani/pedi or pick up a bottle at Walgreens.

    Signature Summer Scent

    I'm a fragrance freak, and that means I like to change my signature scent with the season. If you're hitting the beach, you've GOT to try Maison Martin Margiela's 'Beach Walk;' it is divine and basically makes you smell like a sexy siren/mermaid/goddess.

    My current fragrance: Issey Miyake's L'Eau d'Issey Florale. It's floral, light, and literally the most beautiful perfume I have ever bought. I can't stop getting compliments on it; it's THAT good.
