TRAVEL BAG ESSENTIALS

Items marked with * were gifted

It's that time of year again, where everyone is planning their summer getaways. This year I decided not to go anywhere to far I'm staying in the UK but I will be going on a summer break out of London.
Generally when I go away I decant my skincare products, but this year I am well organised and have got miniatures of all my favourites so I am well equipped for travel.
I won't be travelling by plane but all of these products are sized perfectly to take on the plane, but for those of you who will be jetting of to another country I hope this helps with your packing.

Sudocrem Skin Care Cream* - I am absolutely in love with this moisturiser, I use it on a daily basis as an every day moisturiser, also as a mask and as a spot treatment.  It reduces break outs over night, it is amazing on dry and flaky patches of skin and goes on amazingly as a make up base.
It comes in a 30g tube so is ideal to throw in your travel bag and at £1.99 it is extremely reasonable.

Lip Glam* - As I am slightly obsessed with lip balm I had to include one in this post. Lip Glam has been my go to lip balm since the day I got it an I haven't looked back since, it's so moisturising I can put some on in the morning and I wont need to reapply it until way after lunch time.
What makes me love it even more is that its 100% natural and paraben free. Lip Glam is £9.99 and I think it is well worth the cost as it lasts soo long.

Shu Uemura Cleansing oil - These cleansing oil's are great for make up removal but their sizes are not very convenient for travel, but they do 50ml sample bottles that they don't have very often. I managed to get my hands on one and I saved it because I knew I would be going away this year and I as I am unable to take my large bottle this would be perfect.

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser - I love double cleansing because I feel like it makes my skin that little bit cleaner after a full day of wearing make up so after I use my cleansing oil I use the hot cloth cleanser as my second cleanse. Liz Earle do really handy Travel/try me kits that I love because they contain everything you need for traveling and they are really reasonably priced.

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil Free Toner - I generally have dry skin but during the summer period I get really oily so I use an oil free toner to reduce the amount of oil my skin produces and reduced the shine I tend to get during the day when I do wear make up.

My Burberry - This perfume is perfect for summer is floral and delicate and when its hot I don't want smells that are to overpowering and it comes in such a cute bottle.

Hopefully this post helps when packing for your holidays and of course I hope you have as much fun as I plan of having.

Until next time
xx



  

AESOP RESURRECTION GOODIES

Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash

Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm

Aesop Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash

I am absolutely obsessed with everything Aesop I love how it all smells especially the Resurrection scent I think its the mixture of the Mandarin and rosemary that I am so addicted too.

Some may say that paying this much for hand wash and balm is excessive but I see it this way, we use and abuse out hands on a daily basis so why not treat them. 

Just like everyone says you only get one face so take care of it, well this doesn't just apply to your face or hands you're skin in general is the largest organ of the body so take care of it and keep it well hydrated and moisturised.

If you haven't tried Aesop I recommend you do their stores are minimal but effective and they always smell amazing they also come equipped with sinks, which their sales associates use to show you just how amazing their products are.

I always leave with an extremely long list of products I want to try, and it's also great that they sample, their exfoliator is amazing and so is their body balm.

What do you think of Aesop products and what items are your favourites?

Until next time xx

WEDNESDAY WISHLIST: MUJI

Happy Wednesday, I hope you all enjoyed the lovely weather I sure did.

This week was suppose to be a beauty related wishlist, but I think I'm a little overwhelmed with beauty at the minute so I decided to do a Muji wishlist as I love the store so much.

I can actually spend a good hour in Muji stores it's amazing. I love that it's a mini department store and they sell everything from home accessories and furniture to hair and beauty bits and bobs, my personal favourites are probably the Aroma diffusers, the make up organisers and the hair pins, Japanese hair pins are the best and seem to be a lot stronger and made to a higher standard that the standard ones you'd buy in Boots or Superdrugs that doesn't mean they any easier to keep a track of I loose them so easily.

1. Aroma diffuser

2. Slim LED desk light

3. Acrylic box - 5 drawers

4. Modular cleaning set lint rollers

5. Rose tin candle

6. Steel hair pins

What are your thoughts on Muji, do you love it just as much as I do?

Until next time xx

WEDNESDAY WISHLIST: FASHION

Maxi Dress

Bow back stripe top

High waisted Mom Jeans

Long Line White Shirt

Skinny Peach Finish Trousers

Chelsea Chain Multi

Happy Wednesday guys, When it comes to online shopping i'll casually browse and see something that I absolutely love, I'll keep the tab open until it sells out and then i'm left kicking myself wishing I ordered it or it sits there crowding my tab bar until pay day and then I purchase one or two items.

Well that's what this wishlist is, a little glimpse into what my tab bar looks like, I am in love with all these items a few more than others like the Zara dress is amazing and i'll probably go into Zara the next time I see one and pick it up, as well as the River island bow back top, its so cute and now that we are actually experiencing some sun in London this would be a nice addition to my ever so monochrome wardrobe.

The Christian Louboutin Chelsea boots have also been an open tab for a few days now, I was browsing the website with no intention of purchasing, it was more of a girl can dream every so often browse and I came across these babies they are beautiful and I know we are vastly approaching Sandal weather but when you find a pair of Chelsea boots you love regardless of the weather you generally purchase them which is what I would of done if these boots weren't priced at £995.

these will definitely remain a wish but they are really nice to look at.

Until next time xx

WEDNESDAY WISHLIST FASHION

Oasis Crepe Culottes

Sister Jane Classic shirt with velvet collar ties

Monki Rinny top

Oasis Duster Coat

Short Sleeve Silky Shirt Dress

Faith Albans Black Strap Flat Shoes

Philip Lim Pashli Large Satchel

These are items I have been loving over the past few weeks. I am actually obsessed with culottes I went into Oasis with Grace and I was telling her I think I could pull them off because I'm quite tall, whereas she thought she wouldn't be able to because they were too long. I think everyone should try on a pair before deciding if they are or aren't for you.
All the items I have chosen are really simple but will look nice now that it's getting warmer, as you can probably tell I'm not a very colourful person and stick to quite neutral colours.

What items have you been loving recently and what are your thoughts on culottes?

Until next time xx

THINGS I WANT TO DO IN 2015

I don't see the point making new years resolutions because we all know were just going to break them like people saying this year i'm going to get fit and two months in your bigger and unhappier than you were to begin with, but there are a list of things I definitely want to do before this year is out so I thought I'd share them.

I want to travel as much as possible, there are several places I want to go and I feel like 2015 is the year to tick some of those places off my to go list. Firstly I want to revisit South Africa it is such a beautiful place I need to go back. I would LOVE to go to Hawaii as that to is an amazing state and I have been to America a few times but never to Hawaii so that is a must. Los Angeles - San Fransisco - Las Vegas are three states I want to go to preferably together as they are not that far from each other.

lastly is Singapore mostly because I want to visit the Marina Bay Sands Hotel to experience the infinity pool and that breathtaking view but also because it is such a lovely country.

I suppose I should add to this list learning to swim, that would probably help me especially considering I want to visit country because of their pool.

I love photography and would love to be a Photographer so this year I want to make an effort to go out and take more pictures and get more practice.

I want to blog a lot more and a more frequent in 2015, last year I could of blogged a lot more than I did if I was more organised so this year I have purchased a diary/planner so that I can schedule my days properly so I know which days I have free to take the time out to blog more.

I want to go on a road trip, I don't mind were it would just be fun to get a few people I like being around and drive somewhere, ever since watching the film Crossroads it has made me want to do a road trip so this year would be amazing. It would obviously have to be summer though because sitting in a car in the winter isn't as enjoyable.

I want to become a more experienced make up artist and of course that takes practice so this year I want to be able to say I have a portfolio of work strong enough to get me any job I applied for.

Lastly I want to find my dream job and I'm not actually sure what that is yet but hopefully this year I will know.

These are some of the things I want to do this year. What are your plans and aspirations for this year?

Until next time xx
