Complete your festival drip check with these six party must-haves 

Dubbed this year’s number one event essential, Adoozy Power, has rounded up the ultimate festival checklist for 2023. With an exciting line-up of hot entertainment to look forward to this year, look no further Mzansi, the mobile power bank rental provider has you covered.

Lip service

Lip balm – Whether you’re into gloss glam or just straight-up balmy relief, keeping those lips moisturised and fresh is every festival goer’s best-kept secret. Protect your pout with a pop of colour with the Maybelline Lifter Gloss or keep it simple and chic with a good old-fashioned flavoured lip balm. 

Eye on the prize

Sunglasses – Rain or shine, a pair of classic sunnies are a must to complete any festival goer’s drip. It’s kind of an unspoken rule that everyone’s ‘eyeing’ each other out to see who’s rocking the best shades, so get ahead of the game with the perfect show stopper.  Brown or copper lens shades not only look good, but are the best for protecting your eyes against bright sun, as well as blue light. Be sure to find the sweet spot with price. Don’t go too cheap, but you don’t have to break the bank either. Also, think about durability. Check out the MKM cateye sunnies from TFG. 

Turn up the heat

Something warm – Lugging a jacket around is probably the last thing on your mind while the music is taking you over, but chances are, you’re going to need it at some point in the day. Opt for something you can tie around your waist, that’s not too heavy. Pockets are a bonus, and denim never goes out of style so it’s always a safe option. While we’re on the subject of clothes, avoid jumpsuits and onesies, you’re just going to make things difficult for yourself when it comes to hitting the loos. No time to waste fighting with a one-piece when there’s a hot act to catch. And wear a dope hat. 

Stay in charge

Mobile power bank – Were you even at the festival if you don’t have the snaps to show for it? Your phone is an essential, which means keeping it powered up is even more NB. Staying connected means you don’t have to miss a moment and can party easily knowing you have enough power to order your uber home or call a friend if you need. Pack your mobile power bank, or better yet, rent a power bank for the day from an Adoozy Power rental kiosk available at SA‘s major festivals. For only R79.99 you’re covered for 24 hours.

Ready, set, GLOW

Tinted suncscreen – Not only does tinted sunscreen protect your skin from damaging UV rays, but it also adds a subtle glow. The perfect two-in-one, tinted sunscreen provides an added colour base that can help even out skin tone and protect against long-term hyperpigmentation or dark spots. Nothing like looking good while effortlessly keeping those UVs at bay. We’ve heard good things about Bioderma photoderm max SPF 50. 

In the bag

Cross body festival bag – Avoid the dreaded after-festival blues by having to replace precious items like your iPhone. Merge style and safety with a chic cross-body bag that keeps your valuables safe. Get your hands on a festival bag with plenty of zippers and well-placed inner pockets, so you’re hands-free and ready to vibe at all times. We’re loving the Adidas prefest bags for both guys and girls.
