Just a little review...

As I've recently just arrived off holiday I thought I would do a quick mascara review on the Extreme length No 7 mascara.

The packaging is pretty simplistic and nothing to really write home about, its just a slim brown tube with  the logo at the top.
I really like the formulation of this mascara , it is slightly wet but otherwise its really nice and I LOVE the brush it defines every lash giving it excellent length aswell!
I will definatly re-purchase this(:

In Flight Skincare...

The Products...

First off I think In flight skincare is so important especially when your skin is very dry as mine is, because it just sucks all the moisture out of your skin!
The Products in my bag are...
-Aloe Vera gel
- elizabeth arden 8 hour cream
- dear jhon face cream
- Avene thermal water
- Avene Triancneal
-Primark face wipes
- N0 7 beautiful skin day cream (dry skin)

The routine...


I start by removing all makeup with my primark face wipes, I then spritz my skin with a little Avene Thermal water ( good for sensitive skin). I then leave it to dry a bit before applying my Aloe Vera gel which really hydrates my skin I also leave that to sink in. 

I then (depending on the dryness/oiliness of my skin) use a face cream, if my skin is very dry I use benefit's Dear Jhon, however this is no longer available so i'm trying to make mine last! If my skin is feeling more oily that usual I use the No 7 beautiful skin as for a cream for dry skin its pretty light! I also put on a bit of 8 hour cream for any rough/dry patches.

Treatments/randoms...


I only use the TriAcneal on spots, no where else as its so strong! Also my ointment if I have eczema.

I also carry a mirror and shampoo , conditioner and moisturizer. AND of course Hand sanitizer!

TopShop Blush in Neon Rose...


This post is a little review on TopShops cream blush in neon rose, I picked this up a while ago in the Bristol Topshop, I had heard some great reviews and wanted to give it a whirl! 
First off I have to say that I love the topshop packaging it's so cute and actually quite sturdy which impressed  me a lot for the price. 
Its a cream to powder formulation and looks so scary in the pan! however when blended out on the cheeks it really does turn into a lovely natural flush. (excuse the messy state of this I want to give a thorough road test before i reviewed it!)

 Swatched!


Overall I think this is a lovely product, and I cant wait to try some more Top Shop Blushes!

Small Skincare Haul!


I'm going away soon, so I thought this would be a suitable time to stock up on some of those holiday essentials... 
 

Aloe Vera Gel...


This is a staple for my dry eczema prone skin ( hence 2 bottles!) and its a great post-tanning treatment as it soothes burnt skin and dry skin on face and body. 

The Daily Smooth...


This in short is a body butter. However I love the scent of it, its girly but not overpowering and I find it to be quite firming on my skin, it also contains cocoa butter which is a firm favorite with me!

Butter up!...

Another body butter! I was actually given this as a gift and wouldn't of chose it myself because of the scent, im not a massive fan of heavily scented products however this isn't heavily scented im just not keen on the smell, however after using it im totally converted, its SO moisturizing and it contains some great ingredients also.


Flake away...


Im not going to blab to much about this, I LOVE THIS SCRUB its my ultimate pre-tanning treat and the travel size is cheap and ideal for holiday.



Girligo...


This was another gift and something I would of never of brought otherwise, its basically scented moisturizer in a spray and initially I was very skeptical and thought it would be another gimmick never the less I was pleasantly surprised when I got this, its light but very hydrating and the scent isn't at all over powering and it made my skin so soft!  



That was more soap and glory than I thought! 
Whats your holiday essentials?
