This weekend me and my
boyfriend are going away for a week in Cyprus! Yippee I'm so excited,
I can't wait to get away from the wet and cold of England! Although it
is forecast to rain a bit next week in Cyprus, but it is still
hitting above 20 degrees which sounds good to me!
Here are a few beauty
essentials I'm taking on holiday with me. I haven't included make-up
as there would have been too many products to talk about so I might
do another post on that!
Sun cream
Sun cream is the number
one important 'beauty' product you can take on holiday. No one likes
to be burnt. And as I'm so fair, I don't tan, I burn and so a high
factor sun cream is essential. I'm taking one from Nivea which smells
gooood and another little one from Hawaiian Tropic as this one smells
divine.... mmm.
Lip Balm
I constantly need to
slather lip balm on and so if I forgot this on holiday I would be
devastated! Now I know this says it's a hand balm... but I do use
this as a lip balm and it works a treat!
Day Cream with SPF
Obviously you can put
sun cream on your face, but when I do it seems to sting my eyes, so I
prefer to use a day cream with SPF. I'm taking this Nivea Day Cream
with SPF of 15. As SPF 15 probably isn't high enough for me, I will
be applying a foundation with a high SPF factor too for double
protection!
Fake Tan
I am applying fake tan
the day before we fly so that I don't look completely out of place...
last time I went on holiday people kept telling me that I need to
stay out in the sun more to get tanned! I was like no, I burn, I do
not tan... I will be taking a bottle of tan with me too as I will be
in water a lot I anticipate another application might be in order. I
use the Bondi Sands tanning foam in light/medium. I did a full review on this product and a step by step application guide last year so check it out here!
Spray Moisturiser
Obviously when you have
fake tanned you need to keep moisturising to keep it looking fresh
and to stop it from going patchy. Also, moisturising after sun
exposure is vital to stop flaking. I'm taking this Palmers spray
moisturiser as it is so easy to apply and sinks straight into the
skin meaning I can put my clothes straight on after moisturising. And
as you know if you follow my blog, I adore the smell of cocoa butter
and rave about Palmers 24/7...
Mini travel essentials
I picked up this cute
little Nivea travel pack in Primark. It includes a mini deodorant,
body wash, moisturiser, a lip care stick and some face wipes which
remove make-up. What more could you need?!
Shampoo &
Conditioner
These small bottles
from Simple were only 99p so I snapped them up! I've never used these
products before but I'm always satisfied with Simple so I'm sure they
will do their job!
Other bits and bobs...
This includes the mini
toothpaste and items like hair ties, hairbrush, bobby pins etc which
are obvious boring beauty essentials. I'm also taking my Rose body mist from the Body Shop for evenings.
Any of you travelling
abroad this summer? What are your beauty essentials?
