TRAVEL ESSENTIALS

Now I'm going away in less than a week so, for any of you travelling soon I wanted to do a post on the essentials you need when going away. It's not all pretty, but there we go. 



First up I'm talking about a wash bag, and the things you need in it:

Shower gel
Shampoo
Conditioner
Razor
Face Wipes
Moisturizer
Toner (If you need it)
After Sun ie. Aloe Vera gel
Sun tan cream - I have got Calypso 
Any make-up and brushes
Bobbles/Grips/Headbands
 
Now, I really do think that when you are going away you need to make up a small medical bag. In mine I have:

Plasters - For rubbing shoes, or any cuts etc.
Paracetamol - For headaches, or hangovers.
Ibuprofen - For any muscle relief.
Antihistamine cream - For insect bites etc.
Eye drops - For itchy/dry eyes.
Antihistamine tablets - For hayfever.
Scissors - Becuase you always need them!
Safety Pins - Again, because you always need them.
Tweezers - For any splinters etc.
Diarrhoea tablets -  I said it's not all pretty.
Antiseptic wipes - To clean infected areas.
Heartburn tablets - For any pain relief.

I have found that all of these really do cover the basics, in case of any medical emergency. So make sure you pack the essentials!

Other things you should have with you are:

Clothes
Shoes
Chargers
Phone
Ipod
Headphones
Sunglasses/Glasses
Hat
Bag
Camera
Kindle/Books
Tablet/Laptop - If your taking them
Towel
Copies of your passport and travel insurance and bank information - If you loose anything at least you have back-up and proof.

PRODUCT REVIEW - BY TERRY OMBRE BLACKSTAR MISTY ROCK AND BRONZE MOON (UPDATED)

Image
If you saw my previous blog post on the By Terry Ombre Blackstar eyeshadows you would see that I wanted to originally get 'Misty Rock' and 'Bronze Moon' however when I went on Space NK, they were out of stock (cries!) however I did get them a few weeks back and I said I would do swatches, sorry they are so late but it's better than never! So here they are... (Bronze Moon on the left and Misty Rock on the right) These are super pigmented and very shimmery and simply look gorgeous on!  I have never know another eye product to last so long, even swatching them on my hand it took a good scrub to get the product off! These retail at £28, not cheap but so worth the money in my opinion!  In terms of colour Bronze Moon is a almost a bronze/gold/brown shade and Misty Rock is a pinky/mauve colour. Both utterly stunning and really make the eyes pop when you wear the colour on your lids. You can either do a quick swipe and go or you can really layer on the prod

PRODUCT REVIEW - MAX FACTOR COLOUR ELIXIR LIP LINERS

Image
These have become my favourite drug store lip liners! Max Factor has come out with a pretty great shade range from nudes to pinks to browns to reds! Horaay! I have found these last a good 5 hours plus and the don't dry your lips out like some liners can...These are easily sharpened and last a long while (ie. use) My favourite colour is Pink Petal, which is a nudey pink, like a 'your lips but better' colour (It looks completely a different colour in these photos by the way!) I have also found that Red Rush last ages and doesn't bleed and it matches most of my red lipsticks (winner!) I would say that these aren't the cheapest drug store lip liners, retailing at £4.99. The texture of these it great, they are quite creamy and sit on the lips very comfortably and the pigmentation of these are very good. At some reviews I have looked at said they loved the product but when comes to sharpening it, it breaks...this has not been an issue for me personally, so make sure yo

PRODUCT REVIEW - KEVYN AUCOIN EXPERT LIP COLOURS IN SIREEDAN, ROSERIN AND MICAVEL

Image
After reading a few posts about the Kevyn Aucoin lipsticks I decided to bite the bullet (anyone else get the lipstick pun there?!)  After looking through the variety of colours on offer I couldn't choose between three so typically got them all! ...More swatches for you guys! The first one I really wanted was so different in colour from my usual pink/coral/orange lipsticks. But after seeing a picture on the Internet a girl wearing it, it just looked so damn good! Queue ROSERIN - Described on the packaging as a 'plum rose'. A very apt description I would say.  Up next is SIREEDAN - described as a 'peachy nude', again bang on with the description. This is a perfect lipstick for day to day wear as it's that 'your lips but better' colour. And lastly, but definitely not least, is MICAVEL - a 'creamy coral'. So true, this is a very light coral/apricot colour and is great if your getting into oranges or corals. This is a very good colour to star
