Makeup & Skincare Travel Essentials!!



Hello Beauties,

As many of you will know I am moving soon! Anyway the way it works out I will be moving down the night before I have to start my new job which means I basically have to pack a suitcase with all my essentials as I wont have time to unpack that night! So I thought why not make a post of all my Makeup & Skincare Essentials that I will be packing for the night before I can unpack! 

What I will be packing in my overnight suitcase - 

Skincare (in brackets I will add the one I am currently using!) 

By the way I ran out of most of my skincare last week / have to throw away as they were out of date (isnt it always the way) So I have picked up new products that I have to start tonight & more I have to pick up tomorrow!!  

  • Makeup Remover (Garnier Micellar waterFull Review!)
  • Cotton Rounds (Boots Brand or Lacura)
  • Eye Cream / Gel (Currently run out need to pick one up tomorrow!)
  • Serum (Lacura Q10 Multi-Intensive Serum - New Purchase havent tried it yet)
  • Day Cream (Lacura Q10 Daily Face Cream - Again New Purchase yet to try) 
  • Night Oil (Currently out & have to pick up new one tomorrow! really like the Argon Oil one)
  • Night Cream (Boots Simply Sensitive - I like it but have not been using it long enough for a full review)
  • Face Exfoliater ( Currently out - Also I dont recommend you bring this on a trip over night, unless you have really dry skin there really is no need) 
  • Makeup removing wipes (Pure)
  • Lipbalm (Carmex - Love this stuff!)
  • Lip Oil (Essence Prettifying lip oil - have not been using it long enough for a review)
  • Lip scrub (Again currently dont have one)














If any one has any recommendations on skincare please leave them in the comments below as I would love to hear them! Also you may notice there are may Lacura products in there that is because I wanted to pick up the range & try them out for you guys as they are a budget brand & I have heard great things about them!



Makeup

  • Brushes (These are mixed brands but mainly from Real Techniques, MAC, P.S.Love..., Essence & Fuschia.
  • Primer (Need to pick one up but My faves are Maybelline Baby Skin Primer - Full Review & Loreal Infallible Mattifying Base - Full Review)
  • Foundation (Currently using Rimmel Match Perfection in 100 Ivory & 102 Light Nude I mix & match) 
  • Concealer ( I use Rimmel Match Perfection, Collection Perfection Concealer or Essence Stay All day 16hr concealer)
  • Contour (NYX Blush - Taupe)
  • Bronzer (Catrice Sun Glow Matt Bronzer)
  • Blush (Currently trying out Essence Mosaic Blushes in 30 Kissed by the Sun & 10 Miss Floral Coral. You can check out the post where I hauled them here - Essence Haul!)
  • Eyeshadow (Palates are best in this situation! I will be packing my high-end Original Naked Palate & my high-street W7 In The Buff Palate. If you want read comparison posts of the UD Naked Palates & the W7 Palates you can just click on these links -Getting Duped! Naked Palate Original! & Getting Duped! Naked 2 & Naked 3!)
  • Kohl Eyeliner (Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil 01. Black Fever)

  • Mascara (Catrice Ultra Black Volume Mascara - Lashes to Kill- with Black Diamond Powder)
  • Eyebrows (P.S.Love... Eyebrow Kit - Full Review)
  • Lips (So many choices here! Really just go with your gut instinct!) 
  • Setting Product (For Setting Spray - Urban Decay - All Nighter Setting Spray. For Powder - Catrice - Prime & Fine Setting Powder or Rimmel Stay Matt Setting Powder)   















Those are my essentials that I will be packing in my overnight suitcase!! None of the items I have mentioned are going to break the bank. They are all budget friendly (Well aside from the Urban Decay Products) This is not because I dont enjoy high-end products, of course I do! I just love finding hiding gems at the drugstore / high-street & these are my picks for the moment! For General Travel essentials you can pop over to my Lifestyle Blog where there will be a post up shortly. 

Leave me a comment letting me know your makeup & skincare travel essentials or what is one product you couldnt leave behind! Also if you have any recommendations I would love to hear them!!

Makeup Products that I am Currently loving!! || Bonus Leap Day Post!



Hello Everyone!!

Today is Leap Day!! I thought as we get an extra day in the year why give you guys an extra post too!? I usually post Beauty Posts on Tuesday & Friday but to I thought I would give you an extra Leap Day Bonus Post!! 

I thought I would share with you all the products I have been loving at the moment! These are all very affordable & widely available products too! 


Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer (Shade 010 Ivory)

I love, love, love concealer!! I go through it so quickly too! Its an item always have to have in makeup bag, with out fail! I am blessed with skin that isn't too troublesome, however I love a good contour & highlight... the more Kim K the better as far as Im concerned without entering into that drag queen area. I picked this up as it was on offer & I just wanted to try something new & I have to say I love it! This is now my second tube of it. I get it in a lighter shade as I use it only for highlighting purposes but it s really smooth, pigmented & easy to blend. The tube has a little brush top, which to be honest doesn't have that much of a purpose as far as Im concerned. I mean sure, I know the thought behind was to probably make it easier to apply, without the aid of brushes but personally I would never put on a highlighting concealer without the help of my trusty brushes or blending sponge. However the product itself is fantastic & well worth a purchase!




Essence Mutli-Action Volume Mascara

You might remember a while back I mentioned I was on the hunt for a holy grail Mascara but with no luck. Then I picked up this guy & so far it is the best of the bunch for me. (I will admit I am quite lazy on my hunt though so there are so many more to try!) However I love this product. This is also my second tube of it. The formula is not too wet. It seems to lengthen & define for me while also giving me volume! The wand is plastic (which I actually prefer) & tapered, which I think helps to give you more definition. Love it!!

                   




NYX Blush (Shade - Taupe)

Oh how long it took me to get my hands on this! For weeks upon weeks everytime I went to any NYX stand this was ALWAYS sold out!! Which of course just made me want it more because it was clearly good if it was this popular (Ah logic & reason.... you never let me down!) Finally however my day had come! & I have used it ever since. Thank god there is so much product in blushes as I dont know if id ever be able to get it again! I love this as a contour! Its the perfect ashy shade to create that shadow you are looking for & give you that Kardashian bone structure! I assure you this product will have you looking Armenian in no time!!







Natural Collection Eyeshadow - (Shade - Asteriod)

The reason I originally picked this up was actually after watching a video created by the YouTuber Amelia Liana. It was a dupes video where she compared these shadow shades to MAC. This one was a dupe for mulch & the shade Chocolate was a dupe for Cork. Anyway I love these shades & the shadows themselves are lovely. Only drawback would be a small be of fallout but other than that they are beautifully pigmented & easy to blend!




Natural Collection Blush - (Shade - Peach Melba)    

I just picked this up on a whim more than anything else. I was browsing in Boots & I came across this. I had been looking for a new blush but I wanted something that was a bearly there kind of blush. One that looked really natural, as if you werent wearing any at all. I thought what the hell... lets give it a go. Im glad I did! It was exactly what I was looking for. A very natural, bearly there kind of blush! It is still has good pigmentation, can be slightly powdery but one tap of your brush & its sorted!! 









Carmex

Might seem like a weird product to add in but to be honest I owe them my lips this month. Due to illness my skin & lips got extremely dry! In the past, in my teen years I would always use Carmex religiously but as I got into my Beauty Blogging I began to try more things out and forgot all about Carmex. I was looking for something good & reliable so I picked this up & I am so glad I did!! It has literally saved my lips! It has definately been my hero product of the month!!


      

There you have it! These are the products that have been making me happy lately!

Have you tried any of these products!?
What were your thoughts on them?
Tell me your stand-out product for the past month or so!! I am always on the hunt for new products to try!!
