I visited Ulta to get ready for my summer vacation—check out my full beauty and wellness haul.
I'm serious about summer 2025. I plan to hit the beach, travel, and enjoy my vacation to the fullest. Even though it’s only April, I’m already in full planning mode. I'm saving flight options, looking for the best accommodations, and getting my beauty routine ready. The last part might seem out of place, but as the beauty editor for Who What Wear, I prioritize beauty and wellness. I've created a list in my Notes app of all the products I might need, from effective SPFs to beach-themed body mists and versatile makeup items. I’ve already searched Ulta’s website and added everything on my list (plus a few extra goodies) to my shopping cart. Why Ulta? It’s simple: I can find both drugstore gems and luxury favorites in one place. My shopping is practically done, and my out-of-office request is coming soon. Below is my complete beauty and wellness haul.
**Skincare**
**Kiehl's Since 1851**
Better Screen UV Serum Sunscreen SPF 50+
This is my go-to face sunscreen. It provides SPF 50+ protection and contains collagen peptides to guard against sun damage and visibly improve existing signs of aging. Essentially, it combines SPF with anti-aging benefits. The texture is milky and lightweight, allowing it to absorb into my skin beautifully. It also works well under makeup. I'm definitely stocking up on this before my summer getaway.
**Vacation**
Classic Lotion SPF 30 Sunscreen
This is my preferred body sunscreen. Vacation's Classic Lotion SPF 30 encapsulates the essence of summer. In fact, when I know I’ll be using it, I skip wearing perfume because it smells that incredible. Additionally, it’s packed with skin-loving ingredients like coconut oil, aloe, banana extract, niacinamide, and vitamin E, ensuring my skin gets essential care.
**Kopari Beauty**
Golden Sunglaze Sheer Body Mist Sunscreen SPF 50
I’ve also added this body sunscreen to my cart since it’s perfect for a hot summer trip. The non-aerosol mist provides organic SPF 50 protection, while ethically sourced mica gives a radiant, sun-kissed glow. It offers a golden goddess look. Plus, it contains hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and vitamin E, and has a delightful guava scent.
**Makeup**
**IT Cosmetics**
CC+ Nude Glow Lightweight Foundation + Glow Serum With SPF 40
On vacation, I prefer to avoid traditional foundations. I want something simple that delivers glowy, multitasking results, which is why I’m getting IT Cosmetics' CC+ Nude Glow Foundation + Serum. It has a 90% skincare formula (think niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, green tea extract, and extra sun protection) and provides medium coverage with a radiant finish. I’m definitely bringing one along.
**L'Oréal**
Infallible Full Wear Waterproof Concealer
I typically skip concealer on vacation—only using it for dinner outings if I need to cover dark circles. In that case, I rely on L'Oréal's Infallible Full Wear Waterproof Concealer. Its waterproof formula ensures sweat and humidity won't affect it.
**FENTY BEAUTY**
Match Stix Contour Skinstick
For that sculpted look, I'll use the classic Fenty Match Stix Contour Stick. The shades are fantastic and appear so natural on the skin. The creamy texture is easy to apply.
**Physicians Formula**
Murumuru Butter Bronzer
To achieve a sun-kissed glow without damaging my skin, I'll warm up with this popular drugstore bronzer. The silky pressed powder looks incredibly natural. Don't just take my word for it; even Sofia Richie Grainge has called it one of her "secret faves."
**Revolution Beauty**
Blush Icon Palette
As a blush enthusiast, I prefer having variety when I travel, which is why I opt for a blush palette instead of separate shades. This new palette from Revolution Beauty has all the essentials—cream, matte, and shimmer blushes (the shimmer can double as a highlighter if needed).
**Charlotte Tilbury**
Pillow Talk Beauty Soulmates Brighten & Blush Powder Palette
I adore Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk Beauty Soulmates Palette. It includes the brand's Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder alongside the Pillow Talk Matte Blush, resulting in a bright, rosy, and blurred complexion. It’s a foolproof combination. Plus, the packaging is absolutely charming.
**Charlotte Tilbury**
Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Pillow Talk Fair
I'm committed to my new favorite lip combination, so there's no chance I'll forget it on vacation. It starts with Charlotte Tilbury's Lip Cheat Lip Liner in the shade Pillow Talk Fair.
