Makeup for holiday!

HELLO EVERYBODY!

I am so sorry for my absence – I have just come back from a two week holiday in Marrakech, Morocco!  I had an amazing time, I even managed a tiny tan (whilst wearing spf 50 all holiday!).  I will do an individual post on it with pictures after I download them all. 

But for now I have pictures of all the makeup I took with me for the two weeks.  Anybody who has been reading this blog for a while will remember this post that I did before my holiday last year, I took way too much makeup and hardly used any of it.  I really tried to cut down what I took this year, but I still managed to take too much.

 

I’ve listed every product below with an estimate in brackets of how many times I used that product.  It was over 40 degrees in Morocco so on most days I didn’t wear any makeup at all (it was just way too hot to even bother) so anything that was used over 5 times was useful to take in my opinion!

FACE Revlon Photo Ready Foundation (5+) The Body Shop All in one Face Base (5+) The Body Shop Bronzing Powder (5+) Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation (5+) The Body Shop Blusher (2) The Body Shop Lightening Touch (1) MAC Studio Finish Concealer (1) EYES Sleek Storm Palette (1) Beauty UK Trio Eyeshadow Palette (4) MAC Nylon Eyeshadow (2) MAC Beauty Marked Eyeshadow (0) MAC Barestudy Paintpot (4) LIPS & EYES New Cid i-flick (5+) The Body Shop Liquid Liner (4) The Body Shop Super Volume Masc (5+) The Body Shop Coca Butter Lip Balm (0) The Body Shop Orange Lip Balm (3) Barry M lipstick (0) Revlon Matte Strawberry Suede Lipstick (1) Brushes TBS Face & Body Brush (5+) TBS Blusher Brush (5+) Random big brush (4+) TBS Blender Brush (4) TBS Mineral Eyeshadow Brush (0) No7 Smokey Eyeliner Brush (0)

As you can see I could have cut down a bit more, but I managed and it was lovely to get away from wearing full smokey eyes each day.  I gave my skin a breather too and now my skin is glowing which I’m really happy about.

Toiletry wise I took Paula’s Choice face wash, toner and moisturizer, TBS Mango body lotion & Cocoa Butter Body Butter, Batiste Dry Shampoo, Herbal Essences hair products, and an SPF of 50+ and 30 which were both used on my face and body daily. 

I’m glad to be back home now (I couldn’t stand the heat much longer, I much prefer winter!) and I will return to blogging as usual as soon as I’m sorted. 

How much do you take with you on holiday?  Do you think I took too much?
