Very necessary: Bridal Season Survival Kit

by Amber on May 28, 2009

in hair products,nail polish,self-tanner,skincare

At some point in your life you’ll be one or the other, or more than likely– both!  I’m talking about brides and bridesmaids, what a stressful position that is.  In addition, it’s an extremely expensive little venture which used to make me cringe and cry for joy at the same time when I was asked if I would do the honor of representing my friend in her vows.  I remember one year I was in 3 weddings in one summer and the amount of preparation was emotionally and financially exhausting.  The nails, the hair, UGH!  The TANNING!  Take a tip from me, get a Bridal Season Survival Kit together ASAP… it will be ready to go!  Like when your prep time is cut short the morning of because the cake falls apart on the way to the venue and you haven’t even had the chance to paint your nails yet.  You’ll spring in to action and save the day– what she doesn’t know will never hurt her, right?  Keeping these few items at the ready will save you not only money but time too!

1.  Barielle Natural French Manicure Kit — At only $16.50 ditch the pink and whites!  They’re costly and you’ll never get them filled again after the big day.  Do it yourself or have your Maid of Honor be so kind as to do it for you.  Totally natural, not overdone and totally chic.

2.  I.C.O.N. AirShine Brilliant Shine Spray — All of that hairspray holding up your up-do or keeping your sexy waves together dulls the shine right out of your hair!  You don’t want your hair looking matte in photographs so spray in some shine and add additional brilliance to your gorgeous ‘do.

3.  Yonka Phyto Contour Eye Firming Cream — Chances are you’ve had yourself a good cry the night before and the morning of, emotions are running high and you’ve barely slept a wink.  Use this botanical eye cream to perk you right up and eliminate the inflammation around your delicate eyes.

4.  Tan Towel Self-Tan Towelettes — It’s just silly to expose your precious skin to artificial UV rays in order to look good in your dress and in your honeymoon bikini!  Why risk skin damage, use a self-tanner like Tan Towel which is goof-proof since the tanner is already pre-loaded into a moisturizing wipe.

All of these products can be found at Planet Beauty or PlanetBeauty.com
