What's in my travel makeup bag?

What's in my travel toiletries bag

So as some of you may know if you read my last post I have had a long weekend away with my family in Wales this weekend which was so much fun.

The bag itself comes from boots and the come in a set of three this is actually the medium size which is the perfect size for a long weekend away.






So following that I thought I would share what I packed in my travel toiletries bag. I haven't taken much in the way of makeup because I wanted  skin to breath. So all I took for my base was the maybelline fit me concealer which is an average concealer for both blemishes and under the eyes. I also took a gosh quad which I have had for quite some time and to go with that I took a ELF eyeshadow brush which is a good all rounder. I took for my lips a maybelline lipstick and a niviea pearl effect lip balm which I did end up using. I also packed a cover girl lash blast length mascara  which I picked up from tk maxx. I also packed a Nivea lip balm in the pearl shine finish which I really like because it leave's you lips with a slight shiny finish and yet it's still nourishing and actually does something. I also took a colour riche lipstick from rimmel in the colour nude.

























































For my skin care I took a lot of mini's from Christmas sets I had received as presents. For body wash I took a ted baker one with the butterfly on it no idea what the scent is.  For shampoo I purchased the Aussie miracle moist mini shampoo and conditioner which I love. I also packed a mini righteous butter which has the classic soap and glory scent which I also received as a present. I also purchased the Venus snap which is the mini razor in the case which I have to say is so handy have it in the case as it doesn't get dirty in the bag.








For makeup removing I just took the off your face face wipes from soap and glory which smell amazing. I also took a small pack of the Nivea cleansing which worked well. I also took my Nivea day moisturiser which I used day and night and it didn't effect my skin at all.






















I have also packed a small deodorant which I picked up in travel aisle of super drug with the shampoo and conditioner.


I also packed a Ambre Solaire sun crean in SPF 50, which I knew I needed everyday as we were outside for most of the day. I also packed a Soltan aftersun lotion which to be honest I didn't actually use.








I also took a few extra's which I also used. I took the ted baker body spray in the same scent as the shower gel that I took.




                                      

I also took some of the superdrug handy wipes which I feel is a necessity when travelling.



I love taking small size products because it means I can use up things and also take more products to use.

Always remember where we came from

Over the past couple of months I feel that my body has let me down in many ways. It made me ill out of blue which meant I had to build myself up again which I wasn't planning to do. However after doing this I've know realised what's important, after having this blog for nearly 6 years and posting about beauty and my story it's important to remember why I do what I do. I was at a family event yesterday, and after speaking to one of my relatives who actually reads this blog, I suddenly realised that I've kind of lost touch with why I do, what I do. My story is unique and I am very lucky to have a physical condition but still be able to do what I love. That's partly why I set this up in the first place, is to show that even through you have something that could potentially hold you back that doesn't mean that it should. Having cerebral palsy and epilepsy has had it challenges for sure, however it also shown me the strength I have. I think in the day and age...

The Evolution of my beauty habits

Image
So for a while now I've been meaning to get on the blogging band wagon but have been unsure how to as it's been quite a while. So I was going to do a favourites to explain what I have been using these past few months, however instead I thought I would talk about something that has been apparent to a lot of people and has been issue with quite a few friends of mine as well. Over the past few years the online beauty community has grown and grown. This is partly because anyone can set up a blog as long as you've got some sort of camera and access to the internet then you set up a blog. However with this growth means there are more and more people talking or writing about things that they have enjoyed or not. Depending on how many followers that person has can depend on how far that information travelled. This is partly how we get "hype up" products because the more and more people that talk about this one product mean the more and people who then want to go buy...

An alternative to the tangleteezer....

Image
I've heard so many people talk about how much they love the Tangleteezer. So being a blogger I knew I needed to try it out. After trying it I didn't really get on with it. I understand the shape of it, is meant to fit nicely into your hand and make it easy to brush you hair. However I just found it really hard to grip to actually brush my hair.  So following this if you saw my post on friday you will know that I opened the Look Fantastic box for this month. Within this was the wet brush and after using it for a couple of days I find it so much easier to use. I think because it's an actual hairbrush but at the same glides through wet hair getting out any knots. You can get it from http://www.lookfantastic.com/brands/wet-brush.list  and it comes in all kinds of colours and designs. There is also a comb, paddle brush and a round brush within the range. I would really recommend this brand if you're looking for something to get out knots from wet hair.  The on...
