As Boardmasters is fast approaching, I thought I'd do a post all about what I'll be packing and what festival essentials I'll be taking with me!
1. Sunscreen - This is an essential item to be carrying around with you anyway but, it's very important to take while going to a festival as the weather is always very unpredictable! The one I'll be taking is this Soliat one, which is tan activating and if you're anything like me and tend to burn in the sun try this out as it genuinely gives you a subtle tan without getting burnt!
2. Face Wipes - I'm that person that says never take your make-up off with face wipes as it's so bad for your skin but, at a festival these will become your best friend! They're easier and more lightweight to pack, as apposed to brining your normal cleansers, toners and make-up removers. They're quick an easy to wipe your make-up off, at the end of the day. If your going make-up free to a festival, then you can use these for quick hydration thought the day, to keep your skin feeling clean and loved!
3. Dry Shampoo - At a festival your lucky if you don't have to queue for a pot-a-loo, let alone a shower! So go a day without washing you hair and apply a little bit of dry shampoo, not only will it give your hair a refreshing lift but, it will add volume and a beautiful texturized look!
4. Tiny Perfume Sample - As a lot of festivals can be very restrictive on how many areoles you bring, ditch the impulse for a tiny perfume sample! Working at Superdrug I'm lucky enough to get sent these all time, the one that I'm packing is the brand new Stella McCartney: Pop.. I'm sure if you head down to your local Superdrug and ask nicely at the fragrance counter, they might have some free samples to give away for your festival packing's!
5. Metallic Transfer Tattoos - I love metallic tattoos! You can add them to any outfit to really give you that festival vibe! I personally like to place them on my hands and wrists with loads of jewellery, it gives a bold boho look that I just love.
6. Make-Up Palettes - I really struggled at packing my make-up for Boardmasters but, as I went through my palettes I found 3/4 that I could use everyday instead of having to bring separate powders, blushers, highlighters ect and it saved a lot of space in my bag too which was a massive bonus!
7. Potable Phone Charger - If your going to a festival for a weekend I highly recommend you look into getting a portable phone charger! This will be your life saver over the weekend to keep your phone topped up, so you can use it throughout the day to take pictures of your favourite bands and to stay in touch with your friends. You can get them for as cheap as £3 or splash out up to £40 for a higher battery life. It will be so worth it!
If your going to a festival or have already been to one this summer, let me know which ones and how you found it! As I said I'm off to Boardmasters this weekend and it will be my first camping experience and I have soo many mixed emotions about it, so wish me luck!
