Last
post I wrote about creating the ideal travel outfit for you –see here- today we
are continuing our journey to prepare for a fun summer vacation.
Ever
wondered “What make up items should I take!!”, well I used to be and over
packer when it comes to make up and when I say over I really mean OVER – no one
needs two foundations and every shade of pink lipsticks there is- see picture below for proof..
Nightmere!!!
But yes I
used to be a heavy traveler, that is until I learnt the hard way, lets imagine
a scene shall we?, Shoug at the airport with her precious makeup in her carryon
bag passing through security and trembling not to get caught, because she just
read a sign that says something about make up, I literally had to distract the
guy at the scanner just to pass through!! Man that’s one experience I hope to
never relive!!
Moving
on, when your on vacation you don’t really need much makeup, why not give your
skin a vacation too?? Let it breath and apply lightweight makeup, and since I
am traveling to a tropical destination this summer I thought less is more.
So
here are the things I have packed with me in my makeup bag:
Naked Palette this will forever be my go to eye shadow palette, perfect for those summer nights
MAC skin finish in Dark to give your face some dimension and couture
MAC Superb skin finish If you’re looking to give your cheeks a bronzy glow, this is a perfect shimmer to enhance your summer tan
RIMMEL stay matte pressed powder this is the perfect powder for a tropical weather, its light but effective, you can never go wrong with this powder
- Nars Blush in Orgasm and Deep Throat (gorgeous shades that look flawless and dewy) - MAC Blush in Prom Princesses (Perfect plum shade for those nude looks)
- Smashbox BB cream in Medium (who needs foundation when you have BB creams!!) - Urban Decay Tinted Moisturizer in Bulletproof (for those days when I just need very light coverage)
The Balm Meet Matt(e) palette (the only reason I'm taking this is coz it contains my favorite eyebrow shadow)
Liquid eyeliners - Mikyajy in black twilight - Urban Decay 24/7 in Radium - H&M liner in Green (mix up your look don’t just opt for black!!)
Maybelline One by one volume express Mascara
- Benefit That Gal primer & Urban Decay eyeshadow primer potion (a primer is a must for a tropical weather) - Maybelline FIT concealer

Do
you have the travel bug?? Tell me what do you take in your makeup bag when you travel..
Next
time we will be discussing lipsticks and how to choose the perfect colors for your vacation, EXCITING!!!
I've been going for a more simple look this past month just
some concealer, a blush and sometimes if I'm feeling fancy; contouring &
highlighting and a bit of eyeliner, so I've been LOVING this product, I got it
on February and have been wearing it since then.
I don’t know why I've waited so long to get it but I got it
about two months ago and I swear this product is a miracle worker!!, it has
just the perfect amount of gold specks to give you that dewy fresh look.
Soft & Gentle mineralize skin finish – Mac cosmetics
Soft & Gentle mineralized skinfinish - Mac Cosmetics
Do you need an instance face-lift on those extra hard
mornings? Just brush a light layer of this product on your cheekbones and voilà
you are ready to face the day! This is such a gorgeous pick me up, and it’s a
must for those rough mornings.
I got this mascara in my PopSugar must have March box, and
the minute I tried it on I fell in love with it, it was like magic on a wand,
it instantly gave my eyelashes the curve, volume and length they desperately
need, lets face it I have really short eyelashes so I'm very picky about
choosing my mascara’s.
What can I say about this pallete it is such a perfect
amazing pallete, it has great everyday colors ranging from neutrals to pinks
and blues, and I love how every eyeshade color has a person’s name for instance
my favorite go to color Is called “Matt Gallagher”.
My all time favorite color, this is just a light shade of
pink yet its not bright, when ever I feel like I wanna go with something subtle
I just grab this shade and I'm ready to go, I got this lipstick last year I
think and I just rediscover my love for it.
Oh my god!! Whenever I wear this lipstick I find my self
getting a lot of compliments and a lot of questions about it, this is a
gorgeous shade of orangey red yet its not that orange and it tend to change
color depending on your skin tone I've noticed, but this past month whenever I
wanted a POP color I just dab this on and I'm happy as a unicorn.
If you are looking for that light skyline pale blue; this
is the color for you, I've been loving using this on my nails It makes me very
happy when seeing it and it just looks like spring.
Now on to my favorite skin Care products,
Skin Recovery Cream – Avene
This is a miracle worker, I have been struggling with dark
marks on the right side of my face specifically on my cheeks and they really
were affecting my mood as well because of how it looks, after reading a lot and
researching what can help me get rid of it I went to boots and picked up the
Avene Skin recovery cleansing program, there are there products; a cleansing
face wash, a toner and the moisturizer, and trust me when I tell you this these
products have been huge helpers in recovering my skin.
Sometimes when I feel my face is feeling a bit dry and it
need an extra dose of moisture I apply this mask on my face and leave it for
about five minute and instantly my face feels fresh and calm.
And now for the Random Favorites,
Favorite Songs
When I was your man – Bruno Mars
Demons – Imagine dragons “I love all of the songs on their
album (night Vision)”
Favorite munchies
Kambly twists “Salted Puff pastries”
Innocent pure fruit smoothies
I've been really big
on smoothies, sometimes I like to mix my own and other times when I'm in a
hurry I just have one of these, they have a lot of flavor but my favorite so
far is this “pineapples, bananas & coconuts” blend.
Favorite read
The Help by Kathryn Stockett – this book is just amazing, its well written and the story itself is just mesmerizing and intriguing, personally all racist stories and 60's themed stories always get me!!
I've not actually read the
book, but I've listened to it, which I'm going to mention below.
Favorite Show
The Carrie Diaries – Gosh I just love everything about this
show, the fashion, the friendships, the frenemies and the drama of being a
teenager in the 80’s. Plus Anna Sophia Robb ad Carrie Bradshaw is just amazing
she is a really great fit for the part.
If you haven’t checked it out, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!
Favorite app
Oh my god guys, I've discovered audible after watching
Meghan Rosette's February favorites
I instantly downloaded the app and subscribed and was
hooked ever since I listed to books in the car, while working, while getting
ready in the morning even while I'm sleeping, this is just one cool tool for
bookworms that sometimes don’t have the time to sneak in novels and its FUN too
its like watching a movie.
so you download the app, register and start shopping on the website, then when you have purchased your book just go to the app again and download the boon and just like that you are ready to listen..
Favorite candle
Paris Daydream – it really truly smells like Paris in
spring, a musky yet floral smell.
So mochachos those were all my favorites from March, I hope
you have a wonderful April and may it be ever so graceful and colorful!!!
