Holiday Preparation #4 - Hand Luggage

I must say im impressed with myself this year, as ive really managed to concise my hand luggage, by basically only taking things i will need. Ive decided to use the bag ill be using on holiday, as it means im not packaging another bag in my suitcase. 

If you need a little help with what to pack, or youre nosey like me, i hope you find this useful

Bag - Primark

Books, Magazines, Puzzles

I find it really useful to have a smaller bag to put all the smaller items in, as the last thing i want is to be rummaging around looking for something in an unorganised bag.

Travel Sick Tablets

Ibuprofen

Hand Sanitiser

Tissues

Hand Cream

Inhaler

Lip Balm

Bobbles

Grips

Chewing Gum

Perfume Samples (travel sized)

17 Lipstick - Beehive

(had to have one beauty product didnt i)

Sunglasses case - Matalan

Sunglasses - Boots Opticians

Ill also be packing makeup wipes, which can be used as baby wipes, and sweets for the jorurney (boiled sweets for take off!)

Hope this helps!

Holiday Preparation #2 - Skin Care

These are products ive been using in my usual routine, but as with my haircare preparations (here) ive stepped it up to ensure my skin is the best it can possibly be for a week in the sun!

Soap and Glory No Clogs Allowed Face Mask £11 - here

I usually use this once or twice a week, but in the run up to my holiday ive been using this every third day. The beauty of this is that you can use as much or as little as you want, depending on what sort of a week your skin is having (i usually use a grape sized amount which is what is recommended). It states you can either wash it off straight away or leave it for a few minutes - i actually leave this on until it dries, which could be 30-40mins to get the most out of it.

Clean and Clear Deep Action Cream Wash £2.99 - here

 I simply apply a grape sized amount of this over my face and neck twice daily (be careful - it stings like a bitch if you get it in your eyes) and although i dont really feel like its 'deep action' (theres no exfoliant in it) it leaves my face feeling fresh and smelling minty - if you like that sort of thing.

Clean & Clear Deep Cleansing lotion £2.89 - here

This my holy grail product - i knew i was going to use no other cleanser in my holiday prep. After ive washed my face i apply a small amount to a cotton pad and smooth over my face and neck, paying particular attention to any blemishes.

Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturiser £3.39 - here

This is the perfect summer moisturiser - its light, cooling and sinks in straight away. I use this once or twice a day after cleansing.

Simple Kind To Eyes Revitalising Eye Roll-On £4 - here

Ive accumulated dark circles from working unsocial hours, so this is a life saver in the run up to holiday! I apply this twice a day after all the steps above, leaving my eyes feeling refreshed and cooled (lovely on these warm summer nights!)

Ive tried not to use too many skincare products as i dont believe in overloading, and luckily ive managed to find the right balance that works for me. 

Id love to hear about your skincare preparations/routines!

Holiday Preparation #3 coming soon!

Holiday Preparation #1 - Haircare

This is the first of many posts i have planned - theres lots of them floating around the blogging world at the minute, and i wanted to share my preparations with you, as i always find these interesting!

Ive kept my haircare prep pretty simple, as my hair isnt really damaged as such - i just wanted it to be extra healthy for holiday!

John Frieda Sheer Blonde £5.89 - here

(currently 2 for £5 in Morrisons)

My natural hair colour is ash blonde, and ive been trying to enhance that without dying my hair. I have been using this every time i wash my hair, leaving the conditioner on (and putting on a shower cap) until ive done everything else, then i wash this off last. It leaves my hair feeling much softer leaving the conditioner in for 10 minutes or so.

Samy Beyond Repair - Superdrug

This is amazing. I use this weekly anyway, but ive now stepped this up to twice a week, and my hair is definitely thanking me for it. My hair has never been so soft and shiny, and this was so cheap my purse likes it too!

Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Night Renewal Nourishing Mist - Superdrug

I simply spritz a small amount of this all over my hair, paying particular attention to the ends, im not entirely sure if its improved the condition of my hair but it certainly smells nice, and my hair isnt any worse!

Told you it wasnt very elaborate didnt i? I decided to focus less on my hair, and more on skin and body care as thats where i need to!

Stay tuned for skincare and bodycare!
