Get the Inside Scoop: Giannina Gibelli's Essential Festival Tips and Trends with Neutrogena at Coachella
The sun-drenched fields of Coachella aren't just about the music; they're a vibrant runway of self-expression, where fashion and beauty collide under the desert sky. This year, Neutrogena added a touch of radiance to the scene with a special collaboration featuring none other than "Love is Blind" star, Giannina Gibelli.
Giannina, a trendsetter both on and off-screen, embraced the festival vibes with her signature zest, offering a refreshing perspective on navigating the weekend in style and comfort. Thanks to Neutrogena, we caught up with the glowing mom-to-be and fiancé of Bachelor Nation's Blake Horstmann, who shared her must-have beauty secrets, festival fashion inclinations, and even a little insight into this exciting new chapter of her life.
For Giannina, festival prep starts with skin-first essentials, a sentiment that resonates deeply, especially after experiencing the transformative journey of pregnancy. "Going through a pregnancy just takes such a huge toll on your skin," she shared. Her unwavering go-to for maintaining that youthful glow? The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Mineral Liquid Sunscreen. "It is essential to all my beauty looks and it's the base for everything. It leaves such a beautiful, invisible finish, so I can't even tell that I'm wearing it." This isn't just a beauty step; it's a foundation for confidence under the intense desert sun.
And the sun protection doesn't stop there. Giannina emphasizes the importance of all-over care with the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Lotion. "I need to keep my skin safe and glowing, and those two def do the trick. Definitely. Sunscreen, the most important - the most important - part of the day."
Beyond beauty, Giannina's fashion choices brought a unique flair to the Coachella crowds. Living in Colorado has clearly influenced her style, as she's embracing the Western trend with a personal touch. "Going into festival trends this year, I actually feel like I'm in a good spot because I live in Colorado and Western has just been going through this renaissance," she explained. Her secret weapon? "These beautiful vintage pieces that I've gotten thrift stores in Colorado, that just fit perfectly here, like the leather boots and the suede French jackets. I'm really excited to give those pieces another life and to bring a little bit of Colorado to Coachella. Definitely. Western is huge." It's a sustainable and stylish way to stand out in a sea of trends.
But Coachella isn't just about looking good; it's about enduring the elements. As a seasoned festival-goer, Giannina shared some practical wisdom. "At festivals, I always have a water bottle that can keep my water cold. Hydration is key and cold water is the easiest way to refresh. It is brutal out here, so you wanna make sure that you’re hydrated." And for those unexpected desert chills? "At night, it gets really cold too, even in the desert - a lot of people don't know that. The first year I was definitely caught by surprise. So now I always bring either a light jacket or something I can tie around my waist, because if you're gonna spend the whole day at the festival and get your money's worth, you really just wanna make sure that you are protected."
Her festival survival kit also includes a few other essentials: "water, a light jacket, a lip oil, my sunscreen, of course, and a portable charger, because you want to take all the pics!"
Giannina Gibelli's presence at Coachella, in partnership with Neutrogena, offered a refreshing blend of beauty, style, and practicality.
