Fabulous Festival Essentials

Festival season is here, and if you’ve got tickets this summer, there are some essential items you can’t afford to miss.

Once you’ve packed your tent, wellies, and classic waterproof poncho, make sure you save some room for the items on this list for an effortlessly fun weekend of music!

Mirrored Shades

While sunglasses might be a given for a summer weekend, does it get any sassier than  mirrored lenses? Seen on every celeb in the book and our fave Love Island contestants- mirrored lenses are never not cool.

With pretty reflective lenses, you can add a bit of dazzle to your outfit and brighten up the ‘gram.

Dry Shampoo

Dry shampoo is a must-have to keep your locks fresh no matter how much dancing you do, but it can leave you with powdery roots. Avoid the struggle and up your hair game with the Superdrug Dry Shampoo Brunette (Also available for blonde hair, volume, anti-frizz, or colour protection) to give your roots spruce throughout the weekend.

Eye Drops

Being out in the festival fields during the summer can be a nightmare for sensitive or allergy-prone eyes. If you struggle with dry eyes or hay fever, the irritation they can cause can put a real dampener on your weekend.

It’s vital that any eye solutions you may need are kept clean to avoid nasty eye infections.

Fitted with daily disposable contact lenses? They’re perfect for festivals, dispose of them at the end of the day and pop a fresh pair in the next morning. Just make sure to wash your hands before handling your lenses and removing or inserting your lenses.

Hair Colour Spray

Festival style is all about bold colours, and festival hair is no exception. Get colourful locks without the commitment with Superdrug Pick & Mix Coloured Hairsprays

Go for all-over colour, ombre or highlights in your favourite colour or combine as many as you like for serious mermaid hair goals. Then, once the weekend is over, just wash the colour out to reveal you’re natural locks.

Setting Spray

If you think a long weekend at a festival isn’t a workout, just wait until you make it to the dance tent! Days of dancing to your favourite bands- and some new faves- will have your make-up disappearing in no time. Whether you have acne-prone skin or want to let loose and dance the night away, no one will get to enjoy that banging highlight if you don’t set it with the right products.

The Revolution Sport Fix Spray is great at holding your makeup in place through the sweatiest of workouts – perfect for a weekend of music. Pair it with a primer to lock your look down and if you’re prone to oily skin, pack some DHC blotting Paper Sheets to absorb excess oil instantly, leaving your complexion fresh.

Don’t Forget

Here are some more key essentials to add to your list;

Mouthwash – While packing your toothbrush and toothpaste, throw in some mouthwash too. A mini bottle should last you all weekend, and it’s ideal for freshening your breath in a snap.

Hand Sanitizer – washing your hands can be a struggle at a festival

Sun Spray – you never know what the weather will be like at a festival, but there’ll probably be some sunny days. Don’t forget your sun spray to keep your skin safe, and go for an aerosol option for easy application.
