Loud music. Desert heat. Thousands of people. Yep, the next two weekends of Coachella will be epic. You'll just need a few things to help you through it...

1. Forever 21 Pleated Straw Panama Hat, $8.80

Get a bit of oh-so necessary shade, while you hide away those day-2 and day-3 tresses. 

2. Formula 10.0.6 Keep Me Clean Purifying Facial Wipes, $5.99

If it's good enough for your face, we say it's good to go for your hands and everywhere else, too. 

3. Bite Beauty Lip Layers Lipstick Duo, $12.99

Even if no other makeup goes on, keep doing up those lips, girl!

4. Merona Women's Round Sunglasses, $16.99

Perhaps our favorite everyday fashion meets function accessory. 

5. CVS Ultra-Soft Silicone Earplugs Antimicrobial Earplugs, $4.49 

Safety first -- especially with three full days of music. Plus, we think it helps filter the sound. 

6. Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Body Mist Sunblock SPF 70, $11.99

One of our favorites because it's so easy to apply (You can even get your own back!), and it cools you down instantly. 

7. Mossimo Supply Co. Canvas Crossbody Bag with Fringe, $19.99 

You gotta have your goods, but you also have to be able to raise those hands and dance!
