I'm a bit late with this post, seeing as my holiday seems like a distant memory at this point and everyone is in September, Autumn, back-to-school, opaque tights, sure-it's-nearly-Christmas mode. However, I always like these kind of 'what's in my holiday make-up bag' posts cause I think it gives an indication of what the person considers to be essential, can't be without, products. So here it is!
I went to Marbella for a week at the end of July/beginning of August and it was hot hot hot. I had the luxury of an Aer Lingus 20kg luggage limit but was still determined not to over pack. Here's what I brought with me:
So not too bad, eh? Except this is what I actually ended up using:
I know. The Avène SPF50 Tinted Compact* was a Godsend. That, the
Maybelline The Falsies waterproof mascara and the Hawaiian Tropic
lipgloss (which I got free with a razor!) were all I needed for day time
and at night I just added eyeliner, concealer and the Topshop lipstick. Someone please remind me of this post before I go on holidays next year.
Considering I spent my days doing this, I should've known.
I also brought a few nail polishes with me that got no use because nail
polish was literally melting off me! Has anyone tried Shellac in hot
weather? And do you wear a lot less make-up in hot climates/on
holidays?
