July 4th Beauty Essentials
Independence Day or the Fourth of July as most of us refer to it as is officially here! Whether you’re planning a barbecue, hitting the beach, or heading out of town, I’ve rounded up all of the patriotic and necessary beauty products you’ll want to bring with you on this holiday weekend.

The Products

1. Londontown Lakur Nail Polish “Changing of the Guards” ($16)
If you do plan on paying homage to the 4th of July through a great nail design, then you’ll definitely want a good red base coat. And what better shade of red than Londontown’s “Changing of the Guards”? The long-lasting high shine nail lacquer is infused with bold pigment and a hydrating formula to strengthen nails from within. The vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free formula is also chip-resistent, so no need to worry about your July 4th mani getting ruined through the holiday weekend. Buy at SPRING.

2. North Star Glitters Pressed Glitter “Keira” ($12)
Sure, July 4th is all about the red, white, and blue but don’t forget about the glitter and glam! Make a statement this 4th of July with North Star Pressed Glitter in “Keira”, a holographic silver shade. Each pressed glitter comes in their very own 36mm mirrored acrylic compact, or they can be bought in a palette of 6 glitters. My personal favorites are “Keira” (silver) and “Brooke” (a royal blue). Buy at NORTHSTARGLITTERS.

3. imPRESS Nautical Design Accents – Climb Higher ($7.99)
Forget about spending hours trying to carefully paint an American flag on your nails because imPRESS has you covered! This press-on gel manicure pays homage to this patriotic holiday with red, white, and blue nails adorned with nautical accents. Included in this kit are 30 nails with 6 accent nails so you can mix and match for a customized 4th of July mani! Buy at IMPRESS.

4. Smashbox Be Legendary Liquid Metal “Iced Out” ($24)
Don’t be afraid to make a statement this 4th of July with Smashbox Liquid Metal Lipstick in the metallic royal blue shade, “Iced Out”. This lip gel glides on smooth to deliver rich color with a maxed-out chrome finish in just one single coat. The line of Smashbox Be Legendary Lipsticks are very soft and comfortable to wear, and do not dry out lips like many liquid lipsticks tend to do. Another great benefit of the metallic finish is they catch the light from every angle, making lips appear fuller and plumped. Buy at ULTA or NORDSTROM.

5. Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick “Red Alert” ($6.99)
Not ready to sport a bright blue lip? Well not to worry because we’ve got you covered with this incredible shade of red lipstick that will be sure to turn heads this holiday weekend. The Rimmel London Moisture Renew lipstick in “Red Alert” is the perfect true shade of red with a hydrating formula that will keep your lips nourished and soft all day long. Buy at ULTA.

6. Macadamia After Sun Leave-in Spray ($20)
In addition to the patriotic-themed cosmetics, you don’t want to forget about the more necessary beauty products to bring with you this holiday weekend. The Macadamia After Sun Leave-in Spray is a restorative leave-in conditioner that will revitalize hair after a long day under the sun. The pro oil complex formula hydrates hair folicles from within and leaves hair feeling healthier and shinier in addition to protecting against future damage. Some of the beneficial key ingredients include Macadmia Oil, Argan Oil, and Sunflower Seed Oil. Buy at MACADAMIAHAIR.

7. Pop Beauty Lashy Flashy Mascara “Blue Bloom” ($16)
Show off those long lashes of yours this 4th of July with Pop Beauty’s Lashy Flashy Mascara in “Blue Bloom”. The highly pigmented and long-lasting mascara comes in three bold shades, but “Blue Bloom” is definitely most appropriate for this particular holiday. The double-sided silicone brush allows you to coat and separate every lash for a doll-like look. Buy at POPBEAUTY.

8. Sally Hansen Color Therapy “Ja-Cozy” ($7.99)
If you’re rocking a patriotic themed mani this 4th of July, you’ll want a good base coat. I mentioned a great red shade for a base coat earlier on, but a stunning royal blue will be equally as eye-catching! The Sally Hansen Color Therapy polish is one of my favorite nail lacquers because not only do they provide long-lasting and bold color, but they also offer a ton of great benefits for your nails and are a much healthier option than many others on the market. “Ja-Cozy” is the perfect shade of blue to wear this coming weekend. Buy at ULTA.

9. Image Skincare Prevention + Pure Mineral Sunscreen
The most important beauty essential for July 4th before any red, white or blue beauty is sunscreen! But not just any sunscreen..The Image Skincare Prevention + Pure Mineral Sunscreen is both an anti-pollution and anti-aging pure mineral sunscreen that not only offers UVA/UVB protection but also hydrates skin with it’s organic formula composed of agave leaf extract, jojoba oil, and sweet almond oil. Buy at IMAGESKINCARE.
