My Beauty and Make-up Bags Menorca 2015

After posting Ben's toiletries I thought you would be interested to know what I'm taking.


This is my make-up I'm taking (along with the little amount that's in my carry on). So base wise I have my L'Oreal True Match Foundation in a darker colour, and I'm skipping a powder and just bringing my bronzer and highlighting powders. I have a highlighting concealer as well, and 3 blushes. I have my mascara, and Urban Decay Primer Potion. Also not pictured I am taking my Naked Palettes - I have numbers 2 and 3. But I figured most people know what they look like so I skipped photographing them. Then I have some lip sticks, lip pencils, and lipglosses. I wear zero make-up throughout the day, and just put it on in the evening for our meals. I can't sunbath and wear make-up that's just not good!


Most of my products are in this one toiletry bag.


I have a mini bottle of nail varnish remover, my toothpaste, my Nads Ingrown Hair solution (for my bikini line) and my snap razor.


Next hair care. I got the shampoo and conditioner on 3 for 2 in Boots. I don't condition every time I was my hair, And Steve will probably use some of the shampoo that's why there's 2. I have my mini heat protectants and hairspray, then my Batiste as. From post experience my hair gets super greasy from spending the day sunbathing, but if I can help it I don't want to wash my hair everyday (which I have ended up doing in the past as I haven't bought dry shampoo with me) so dry shampoo is now an essential.


I have a couple of masks that I picked up in Primark, and have popped some exfoliator in the little pot.


As I will be washing my face 3 times a day (morning, evening and night time) I have quite a lot of skincare with me. Soap and Glory's Peaches and Clean will probably get used morning and night, The Simple Refreshing Facial Wash I will use in the shower - early evening (after a day by the pool/beach/trip out, before dinner) and the Bioderma is to take off the majority of my make-up. I also have some face wipes - I only ever use them on holiday!


Toners, moisturisers, eyecream, and my spot fighting Sebium AKN.


I got my suncream in a set, and it came in this handy bag.


As I always go for the Tan and Protect range by Soltan, I spotted this set with Factor's 30 and 15 and an aftersun! Was about £13 I think! Snapped it up right away. I then found the face suncream in the same range in factor 30. And I've managed to squeeze in my exfoliator for my body as well.

New Skincare Additions


The L'Oreal serum that I was using has started becoming less and less effective for my skin, so I finished up the bottle, and was thinking about what to use instead to help combat those pesky spots.


I looked into exfoliating toners. The Ren seemed the easiest one for me to get hold of, as it's sold in M&S so along I popped to their beauty section and purchased it. I've only been using it for about a week, but so far so good. Am also considering purchasing the Clarins one in Duty Free when I go on holiday.


Now this I actually got for free when I purchased my Cleane, Tone and Polish set from Liz Earle as I needed some back-ups ready for when they all ran out. This is essentially a moisturiser and can be used before your normal moisturiser or alone. I haven't used this yet, am actually going to take it on holiday with me, and use it as part of my evening skincare routine before bed, in hope that it will help with putting the moisture back into my skin after the days sun exposure.


First of all Bioderma is now sole on FeelUnique, although I purchased mine from amazon before they started selling it. I bought this as an extra to use in the morning, before my moisturiser to help combat those spots, and make my skin more radiant. I have yet to try this as I'm finishing off something else first (I always have loads of things open for some reason).
