Whether I’m at soaking up sun at the beach or poolside, I carry a few beauty products tucked into a little water-resistant pouch, (Stephanie Johnson and LeSportsac make great ones) to make sure I’m feeling fresh all day long.
A City Girl knows that in order to have everything possible to take you from day to night, a carry-all bag that looks super stylish, fits your essentials (+ that pesky umbrella), and goes with every outfit, is essential. This new Rebecca Minkoff bag has changed everything.
SPF.
Whether you’re headed to the beach, for a run, or window shopping on a sunny day, it is really important to protect your skin with SPF. The products below work double duty as a light coverage foundation and provide the added benefit of sun protection. If you need more coverage, add concealer where there is redness or darkness under the eyes.
Word to the wise— the term tinted moisturizer does not mean there is guaranteed moisturizer in the product. Be sure to hydrate the skin before applying the coverage.

A Natural Lip.
Lately with all of Spring’s brights, neons, and florals, my makeup routine has been minimal. I’ve been on the hunt for a color and texture of lip color that looks like my lips, but better and more polished. These are the 5 products I rely on most to give my lips an upgrade and they compliment any skin tone or age. What do you use for a natural lip?
