As you may be able to tell from my last post i have just got back from a week long holiday to the gorgeous island of Ibiza so i thought i would do this post today just to show you what make-up babies i took along with me on my trip.
Like a lot of people when i'm on holiday and spending a lot of time in the sun i don't like to wear too much makeup on my face but at the same time i don't want to go completely bare, saying this though i did actually end up wearing makeup everyday and then just touching and glamming it up a little before i went out at night. For some people the thought of wearing foundation on holiday is totally off limits but if your applying your makeup lightly and doing it correctly i think its completely acceptable to pull off a full face look on the beach, i mean why not!? Here's what i brought:
Smashbox photo finish luminizing primer: It's important if your planning to wear make-up in hot climates and want it to last that you apply a good primer under your foundation just to keep it all in place. This primer is my favorite for that because not only does it make your foundation glide on smoothly but it has a golden, almost shimmery finish which when your foundation is on just makes you look naturally tanned and glowing!
L'Oreal infallible matte foundaation: I brought this foundation with me along with my beloved Estee Lauder double wear but ended up reaching for this one almost every day while i was there. Occasionally i would mix the both together to get the right shade for my skin but a thin layer of this foundation alone for every day use was perfect and because it is such a matte foundation setting powder was not needed at all. Its very lightweight and keeps your face oil free!
Bourjois healthy mix concealer: My most favorite concealer of all time, this works amazingly under the eyes to brighten up dark circles with great coverage.
ABH dip brow pomade: This was the only brow product i brought with me and the only brow product i needed. Its perfect if you want the strong brows but also want't to get your face wet in the pool or sea as its completely water proof and sweat proof, perfect!
ABH contour kit: I do love to contour pretty much everyday and this kit is just perfect for traveling if your not a fan of bringing multiple different products to do one job. Every dark to light shade you need is in this kit.
Makeup Revolution flawless eye shadow palette: I didn't want to take along with me one of my more expensive high end palettes to travel because i always worry about them breaking so the day before my holiday i popped to the shops and brought this beauty for such a bargain price! It provides a mixture of most colors you will need to do both day and night looks with a range of matte and shimmery eye shadows. A review will be coming soon of this palette because i LOVE it!
Benefit roller lash mascara: Probably not an ideal mascara to wear if you are swimming a lot but i brought this mascara mainly for evenings as i didn't wear any mascara or eyeliner during the day!
Rimmel glam eyes liquid eyeliner: This eyeliner is just my baby and i wouldn't go away without it! Its genuinely the best eyeliner i have tried and makes perfecting your wing a whole lot easier! Although i didn't use this during the day it was handy to apply a quick wing before heading out in the evening to glam up my makeup!
Maybelline colour drama lipsticks: Choosing which lipsticks to take with me was probably the hardest as i limited myself to just three! I didn't want to take all my MAC lipsticks as again i worry they will melt in my bag or damage so i found brought these two dupes for my favorite MAC lipsticks. 'Nude perfection' i used every single day as its almost a dupe for 'velvet teddy' by MAC and 'Fab orange' which is just a lovely bright orangy red colur almost similar to 'Lady danger'.
MAC liptick in 'Myth': I know i said i didn't want to take ALL of my MAC lipsticks but i had to take at least one so i brought my favorite by far which is Myth.
Makeup Revolution pro fix fixing spray: Last but not least is setting spray! An essential for keeping your makeup on especially whist on holiday and this spray is so good for the money, once again another amazing bargain from Makeup Revolution!
