I thought I'd do a little post on my holiday Essentials. This bunch of products have been brilliant and if nothing else then this post will be a reminder to myself for next year if i'm undecided about what to pack or use pre hols.
My Must Haves!
Badger SPF 30+ Baby Sunscreen: This stuff is amazing and it kept Rocco totally protected all holiday and the temperature was in the 90's most of the time. I will definitely be buying this again next time we go away.
Burt's Bees Baby Shampoo & Wash: This was meant for Rocco but all the family ended up using it hence the empty bottle! It feels so gentle on the skin and its multipurpose for hair washing means it saves space when packing too. Again a re buy is in need.
The Pre Holiday Essentials!
Liz Earle Energising Body Lotion: This not only feels invigorating and smells gorgeous but it makes skin feel smoother and firmer. I used this for weeks before on my tummy area and tops of my arms.
Xen Tan Mist Intense: I used this 2 days before i went away to give me a nice bronze glow. I hate looking pale on those first few days and so this makes me feel a lot better about stripping off.
Fushi Really Good anti cellulite oil: Again i used this for a few weeks before i went away and i feel it really did make a difference. I only used it on my bum, legs and hips but i have started using it again now i am back as i love it so much.
Cooler than your average!
Estee Lauder Idealist cooling Eye Illuminator: Brilliant product which i reviewed before i went away. The ceramic tip is constantly cold and sooths and brightens the eyes instantly. Love this stuff.
Liz Earle Botanical After sun Gel: I took plenty of after sun with me but this is the only one we used. All the family loved it as it feels so cooling on the skin and smells fresh and minty. Again a re buy is needed.
Liz Earle Eyebright lotion: A perfect product for cooling the eyes, reducing puffiness and great for my 10 year old who gets hay fever a lot. Again i think we all used this lotion at some point over the holiday. I kept it in the fridge and just soaked some cotton pads and placed over the eyes for a few minutes and it did the trick every time.
Softly does it!
Tommyguns Leave me in Conditioner and styling Creme: This two in one product was all i used everyday after shampooing my hair. It smells amazing, citrus and ginger which left me sniffing my hair afterwards. It left my hair feeling soft and without the need for extra styling products.
Dirty Works Soak it up Body Moisturising Spray: The thing i love about this is pretty much everything. The spray makes it quick and easy to use, the smell is amazing and lingers for hours. The oil leaves a sexy sheen which looks perfect with a tan. I am still using this and loving it and it's a bargain price too at just £4.99.
Key Colours!
Leighton Denny Inside Scoop: A beautiful mint green
Essie Haute as Hello: My favourite peachy coral ever
Mac Ever Hip: My latest Mac Lippy and i wore it so much on holiday my other colours didn't get much of a look in. Such a pretty colour.
Back to Bases!
Bareminerals foundation: I got this as a sample which was too dark and so threw it in my holiday bag. It's the perfect match now and i love how natural and flawless it makes my skin look. I tried bareminerals before and thought it was OK nothing special but i have fallen in love with it this time round.
Other mentions:
I couldn't fail to mention 2 other products that i couldn't of done without this holiday.
1. Liz Earle Sheer Pink Lip Shimmer. I can't find this to photograph but have a sneaky feeling my friend might have it still. This kept my lips soft and smooth all holiday. My friend actually burned her lips so bad that they blistered (poor thing) This is the only thing that soothed them and after a few days of using it her lips were healing well. (MUST HAVE PRODUCT)
2. Benefit U Rebel Tinted moisturiser: I used this on days i didn't use my bare minerals foundation and it gives a lovely glowy look to the skin. The colour just blends brilliantly with a tan so no matter how dark you get this will work. ( Nothing worse than too light foundation )
Do you have any must have products that u can recommend?
