My summer holiday must haves 2013.
Ahoj!
Towards the end of July until
the end of last week, I was vacationing in the beautiful town called Teguise in
Lanzarote. It was the break that I needed, the town was very family orientated
but I didn’t mind because that was the kind of holiday I was on. Even though I
really enjoyed the break I am so glad to be home, as I missed my friends and
mainly because I am a complete home bird! I have a lot of ideas for post this
month so read along if you are interested
J
Face: under €10
Maybeline 5 in 1 bb cream.
I picked this beauty up
because I didn’t want to bring a heavy foundation away in the heat. I can’t
wear foundation in the day when I’m on holidays because I just get to warm and
I think it’s a waste. In Lanzarote it was always warm even at the night time
but, there was a cool breeze and the bb cream was perfect. It felt like I
wasn’t wearing any make up at all, I only needed one layer as it was a light to
medium coverage. The only thing I didn’t like was the smell of the product.
Powder: under €10.
Rimmle stay matte powder. This powder is my saviour I’ve worn it for so many
years and I always go back. It is so affordable and a brilliant product. It
does exactly what it says on the lid- stays matte. I have combination to oily
skin so I personally don’t like the dewy foundation look on me, so this mattifying
powder is perfect for me.
Cheeks: Topshop blush morning dew under €10.
This is a cream to matte product that works perfectly
in the heat. It is very pigmented so you only need a little bit. The product is
long lasting and was over worn on my holiday.
Concealer n 17 01 fair under €10.
Before I left I went to re
purchase my favourite collection 2000 concealer but they didn’t have my shade
so I went a shade up thinking it wouldn’t be that much of a difference. Sadly
it was too dark for my foundation, so I was looking around for a cheap enough
one that seemed like a good coverage. I opted for the n17 concealer in fair. It
is actually a really good cover and blends in really well, the colour is true
to the suggestion and I will be re purchasing it.
Eyes:
Naked pallet 2 €43.
I love the both of my pallets
and I probably wear more shades from the first naked pallet so I thought I’d
take the second one and experiment with the colours a little more. And also
because my eye brow colour is from the second pallet and having once pallet is
more practicable. The pallet was great for bright eyes and a strong lip or Smokey
eyes and a light lip and it was a saviour on the holiday!
.
This is my first brown eye
liner and I honestly don’t know why I didn’t use one earlier! It is perfect for
Smokey eyes because it is not as harsh as black. I have been seriously over
using it since I’ve bought it. It is affordable and long lasting even in the
heat.
I rarely go anywhere without
this product since I found it months ago, it is just a gorgeous product. It
removes dark circles and really helps to lift the skin, I would be lost without
it!
Lips. Lipsticks are my favourite beauty item to wear and
when I was getting ready for this holiday I found it really hard picking which
ones to bring. I brought two other lip products with me but didn’t use them so
I see no point for them in my post.
Barry m. lip paint 62 Vibrant Pink. Under €10
This is my go to summer bright
lip. Not everyone would be a fan but I like it and that’s all that matters to
me. I find a strong lip and bright eyes the easiest makeup look to wear and I
over wore this look while away because it was so quick and simple.
Kate moss for rimmle 101. Under €10
Body:
Palmers Body Butter. Under €10
After a day in the sun I think
it is essential to moisturise your body. I had an after sun but for extra
motorisation I used my all-time favourite body butter.
Nails: Bourjois
in turquoise block. Under €10
I think this is the most
gorgeous nail colour I have ever owned! It is so pigmented, applies really well
and is very long lasting! I get so many compliments on it and I really want
more from the collection. I brought this with me so I could top up when it chipped
and I only had to use it once. It is a star buy for me.
I’m
very sad to say that my bronze goddess has come to an end (sad face).There was
literally two weeks’ worth before the holiday and it is now all gone until next
summer! However it did the job and made me feel like a bronze goddess even
though I looked more like a twilight character! Ha-ha
So they were my holiday
essentials this year, hope you enjoyed! Au revior until next time xoxo J
