I’m back! After galavanting around the Spanish coast for 7 days, I returned safely on UK soil last night! I had a beautiful week of sun, sangria and Sunny Delight (Pina Colada flavour, yum!); the weather was stunning and the company was great 🙂 I even succeeded with my media cleanse, 7 days Internet free! It was nice to have a little break, but I have to admit I did miss blogging, making videos and tweeting you lot! By the time we had reached the baggage reclaim my blackberry had quickly been switched back on 😉 We stayed in the most beautiful apartment overlooking the sea.Beauty-wise I ended up being quite boring! During most days I went makeup-free and for the evenings I kept things really simple. As expected I didn’t end up using half the makeup I brought with me, and just rotated a few trusty products that I knew did the job 🙂 I didn’t take my fancy camera with me so please excuse the shabby quality, but here is my basic holiday makeup.
Face:
Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint in 02 Beige
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in 03 Medium
NARS Laguna Bronzer
Eyes:
L’oreal Telescopic Waterproof Mascara
MAC All That Glitters Eyeshadow
Lips:
YSL Rouge Volupte in #30 Fabourg Peach
As you can see I really did keep it ridiculously simple! No faffing around here! I absolutely love all the products I used, but 3 items definitely deserve their own shout-outs. NARS Laguna Bronzer, will always have a special place in my heart. It adds the nicest warm glow to the cheeks and completely eradicates the need for a blush or highlight on my skin, a seriously fabulous summer bronzer. Secondly, you know I said I wanted to give the Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint a true road test and see how it performed in hot holiday conditions, which is when I picture myself using it the most? Well, it passed! And with flying colours! Although the rest of my body did catch a bit of tan, as I used SPF50 on my face for the whole holiday it stayed ridiculously pale so I needed something to give it a bit of colour without looking too overdone. The Sheer Skin Tint was absolutely perfect for that, definitely look out for a full review soon 🙂 And finally can somebody please play a fanfare because I have added yet another lipstick to my collection and I have a feeling it’s going to be a fave! I have had my eye on the YSL Rouge Volupte in #30 Fabourg Peach ever since it started doing the rounds on blogs a few months back, so when I saw it on Legs11’s Blog Sale for a bargain basement price I jumped on it! It arrived seconds before I was about to jump into a taxi and begin my holiday travels, I did almost kiss the postman; but it must have been fate as this colour is the only lip product that I wore for the whole holiday! A creamy, light peach – stunning!
So there you have it! I’ve been back less than 24 hours and I’m already blabbering on about makeup again, what am I like 😉 Hope you all had a lovely week and I look forward to getting back on the blogging horse!
