HOLIDAY BEAUTY BAG 2017

Sticking with the current theme of holidays on my blog, today, I'm sharing with you my holiday beauty bag - that is, basically all the make up I am taking with me on holiday this year. Trust me, it was hard enough having to narrow down my make up and keep this minimal but, I'm quite impressed with myself, though I do think that my selection is still quite excessive - oops?

Face

For primer, I will be taking both the Maybelline Baby Skin primer, along with my Mac Prep + Prime Skin. This combination is incredible - it is my go-to and, though I don't always wear them together, I wouldn't want to travel without one or the other. While we're on the primer theme, I'll also be taking my LA Girl Pro HD eyeshadow primer because, despite it's £4 price point, it's actually really great - at least I think so. 

Obviously, I'll be taking my favourite face products - L'oreal's True Match foundation, along with my Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer and my Seventeen Stay Time concealer. I'll also be taking the Benefit Hoola Bronzer and my Anastasia Beverly Hills illuminator in the shade 'So Hollywood'. 

In terms of setting my face, I'll be taking my Rimmel Stay Matte powder (in translucent, of course) and my NYX Dewy Finish setting spray - aka my favourite setting spray. 




Eyes

For eyeshadow, I'll be taking my Anastasia Beverly Hills Master Palette by Mario as it has recently become one of my go-to eye palettes and it's super versatile and perfect for travelling because I genuinely use every single shade in the palette. I'll also be taking my Naked 2 Basics palette - purely because it's a great basic palette and, if I ever do fill in my brows, I use the shade 'Primal' from this palette - it's perfect.

There'll be no surprise here for my mascara choices - of course, I'll be taking my all time favourite mascara by Seventeen, the Falsifeye HD mascara. I'll also be taking one of my twenty million samples of the MAC False Lashes mascara because I love to layer these two mascaras together - the combination is amazing. 


Lips

I have six lip products that I will be taking on holiday with me this year (this is where my packing is at it's most excessive) and, please don't judge me, they're all fairly similar. I'll be taking my current favourite lip product - the Pure Hollywood liquid lipstick by Anastasia Beverly Hills. Along with this, I'll be taking Anastasia Beverly Hills' Vintage gloss, MAC's Pure Delight gloss, MAC Velvet Teddy (of course) and the MAC x Fleur De Force lipstick. I will also be taking my Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm in 'Intense Care'. 


Nails

I only have one nail product that I will be travelling with for this holiday - it's the gel couture nail polish by Essie in the shade 'Stitch by Stitch' and it's such a lovely pink shade which is perfect for the summer. 


Scent

Regarding scents, I will be taking my Victoria's Secret fragrance mist in the scent 'Aqua Kiss' as it's such a lovely scent for the summer and perfect for holidays. I'll also be taking my Kim Kardashian Glam perfume as this scent used to be my favourite and I recently started using my Kim K perfumes again and it took me right back to when I used to wear this one. I also have it in a miniature version so it's perfect for travelling. 


As I mentioned at the start of this post, I do pack quite excessively but you never know what situations you'll find yourself in, right? It's better to be prepared. I hope you enjoyed this insight into what I pack beauty-wise for my holidays and, although I haven't mentioned it in this post, I do obviously continue with my skincare and make up removal routines as usual - you can find that in my 2017 Skincare blog post, if you're interested. And, on that note, thank you for reading and I'll see you very soon with a brand new blog post. XO
