I have just come back from a few days away in spain with a couple of my girl-friend, which was very relaxing and extremely hot!
I am not someone that wears a lot of make up in the heat and when I am by the pool/beach I do not wear make up (except waterproof mascara) so I downsized my make up bag an awful lot this trip with that in mind.
Lets start with my face....
I suffer with oily skin so in the heat foundations just melt off my face and whilst on holiday I don't use foundation at all. I don't see the point of covering up that tan! I only conceal my dark circles and any break outs I may have on my face. From left to Right: Mac Select Cover up in NW25 and NW20, Pixi Correction Concentrate, L'Oreal Lumi Magique Nos 1 and 2.
To finish my face off I only brought a bronzer: Rimmel Bronzer in 025 Sun Glow and two blushes: Look Beauty, Make me Blush in Rosy - shade 4 this is a Shimmery one and The Balm, Fratboy this a matte one. I also brought Mac Soft and Gentle as my face highlighter with me.
On to the eyes:
This was pretty easy! I am obsessed with all things naked at the moment and I love a bronze smokey eye so it was no question I had to bring my Naked Palette by Urban Decay with my Urban Decay primer potion. I couldn't decide which mascara to bring so brought three, Max Factor Eye Brightening in blue, Max Factor 2000 Calorie and obviously I had to bring a waterproof mascara (Collection Longer Lash) for the day time whilst I am in and out of the pool as I did not want to look like I had panda eyes! I also brought my shu uemura eyelash curlers, FashionistA eyebrow kit, Barry M clear mascara which I use as my eyebrow set, a no-name black khol pencil and Rimmel's Scandaleyes in Nude.
Now I have a thing for lipsticks and I just couldn't just take one or two lipsticks I took five! I love lipsticks and I use a different shade everyday depending on what my mood is at the time...I love a bright vibrant lip if I feel happy or confident and a more muted, natural lip if I am feeling slightly introvert and just want to "blend in"! Anyway, all the colours I took with me were on the vibrant side...
From left to right:
Mac in So Chaud, FashionistA in Raspberry, Revlon Colour burst in Raspberry Pie, Revlon Colourstay matte in Womenswear and Revlon Colourstay matte in It Girl. I had to bring lip pencils but to be honest I don't think I wore them! From top to bottom they are: Benefit's Cupid's Bow, Rimmel Eastend Snob, Mac in Lasting Sensation and Mac in Cherry.
Anywho my lovelies, that was all I brought with me on my travels this time! Do you think this was excessive or on the light side? What do you tend to take away with you?
Ciao for now

I don't really take any makeup when I go on holiday, especially if I go to the sea... but I don't think this is excessive. :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely don't wear make up in the day especially if its a sunbathing holiday but you know what its like at night, you just cant decide! I thought it was pretty light but the girls I went with thought it was pretty excessive haha :o)
