Holiday Essentials!

In a couple of days i am going to be off to Portugal for 3 weeks and as you can imagine i have been very busy packing. Anyway whenever i go on Holiday, i take a bag of beauty essentials, stuff i need for everything (apart from suncream and very obvious stuff like that).

All the essentials!

 So for my 'base' i always take tinted moisturiser because it is really light on the skin, also it has SPF and won't break me out. The on i am taking is Liz Earle Sheer Tint, which i really like a recommend. Also i have a little sample of Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Benefit Foundation as i am testing it on my skin to see if it breaks me out, might do a review.

Next i take my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, I am obsessed with this! Some days i just wear a bit of concealer on my face as it is such a good coverage! Then i have my Hoola bronzer and my Bobbi Brown lips and cheeks tint. I love to add colour to my face even when i am tanned/burnt! Also one of my all time favourites MUA pressed powder, really helps me with oil control and gives me the slightest bit of coverage!

These products are mainly for night as i don't wear these to the beach. I have my MUA Heaven&Earth palette and my liquid Soap&Glory Supercat Eyeliner and my MUA black pencil liner! These are just my basics for a going out look, but they are so versatile. 

This is the 'real' essentials photo, body cream to soothe the skin, deodorant (obvious reasons), lip balm and Spot spray.

Then i have my Makeup Remover, which i really recommend as it is not harsh on my skin and removes the Make Up. Also i have the Triple Performing moisturiser from benefit (review coming soon) which i put on morning and night. A light beachy fragrance is great on holiday! I have been using Hollister Salana Beach.

The mascara's am taking are: Collection Pump up the volume and Max Factor 2000 Calorie! Thiese are just mascara's that do their job!

 Finally i bring my brushes, hair essentials and a nail file. Again simple products!

 What are your holiday essentials that are not in this post?

Liz Earle Sheer Tint

Today i am going to review the Liz Earle sheer tinted moisturiser!

In the summer or whenever its hot i feel like foundation is way too heavy for my skin and i want something lighter. So i opt for a tinted moisturiser with a fair amount of coverage, some lucky ladies don't have to wear anything because they have perfect skin, where as i have small spots here and there.

I have found this tinted moisturiser to be very good on my skin, it doesn't make me feel to oily as it dries and sinks in very easily! It has not caused any breakouts and really given me the summer glow which we all want (with a bit of bronzer).

Also i wanted some sun protection as well, this has SPF15 as do most, but depending how hot it is i will either reapply this or regular sunscreen.

The packaging feels expensive, as it is in one of those 40ml bottles which makes you use a minuscule amount, which is good as a little goes a long way!

The only real let down is the price- £21, if you live in England some sun is an occasion to be remembered as it doesn't stay for long. If you only use this in the summer, like myself you will really need to only buy this once a year, but if you wear this as your 'base' all year round it would be alot of money.

So i am going to give this 4* out of 5, as the let down is the price!

Summer Days!

A couple of days ago I went to an outdoor pool with some friends, it was great fun! The pool wasn't heated so we really had to be brave when jumping in, nevertheless we took some great photos, as teenagers do :).
