I’ll admit it, when it comes to jumping on board with the newest beauty trends, I’m usually one to stick with my tried and true beauty routine instead of switching it up. But this year’s obsession with anything and everything mermaid related has got me jumping on the underwater bandwagon—from googling fishtail braid tutorials to ditching my red lipstick in lieu of a natural toned gloss, I’ve fallen head over heels with everything sea related. Whether you’re like me and are looking to up your siren beauty routine, or are just looking for some natural beauty products, we’ve got 14 sea essentials that will help you channel your inner Ariel and feel a little more at home under (or at) the sea.

For your face:

1. Mermaid Scrubber

The coveted mermaid glow, doesn’t come from just any old bottle of face scrub, it comes from an unlikely sea source–seaweed. Seaweed as a food source boasts many health benefits, and its use as a face scrub is no different. This all-natural seaweed scrubber nourishes and cleans skin naturally, giving your skin a healthy glow.

2. Tarte Waterproof Bronzer

There’s nothing that screams beach babe more than a sun-kissed glow, so skip the tanning session and run straight for the makeup counter to sharpen your contouring skills.

3. Seafoam Eyeshadow

Channel the colors of the sea, with this seafoam hued eyeshadow.

4. Snowcone Lip Balm

Chapped lips aren’t just a winter problem, with the hot sun and humidity, your lips are bound to need a little extra moisture in the summer.

5. Seaweed Face Mask
Cool sensitive skin with this seaweed face mask–but beware with clumps of seaweed packed in, you might look more like the Loch Ness Monster than a magical mermaid while you’re applying it.

6. Waterproof Mascara

Real life mermaid, Linden Wolbert, uses this waterproof mascara to keep her lashes bold and bright even after long days in the ocean… if a real life mermaid uses it, that’s a good enough excuse for us to use it too!

8. Sea Waves Sea Salt Spray

13. Mermaid Roll On Perfume

It’s not enough to look like a mermaid, you’ve got to smell like one too (and no we’re not talking about that sand/sweat/suntan lotion smell). This roll on perfume will give you the air of the “fallen rain scent,” so you’ll be smelling as pure as rain.

14. Deborah Lippmann Mermaid’s Dream Nail Color

Have the mystery of the ocean right at your fingertips–literally!
