I have returned from Cyprus somewhat rested and a little tanned even after I spent all the time in the shade!
I thought I would start off with sharing the makeup I decided to take with me. I tried to stick to essentials and not go overboard with the packing, even then there are still a few things I didn’t end up using. The temperature averaged mid-30s (celsius) so I knew that makeup in the day wasn’t going to be an option, I did manage a few eye looks in the evening which I will share in another post.

I assume a few of your spotted the BB cream added in the collection which I was gifted just before my holiday after gazing at in Superdrug on a few occasions. It ended up being one of my holiday essentials, a full review will be posted soon!

I found myself going back to the same items so there were a few products I didn’t use. The Garnier eye roll on which I use daily normally made my eyes water, I assume because of the heat and possibly the mix of sunscreen underneath so I could only use it in the evenings.
I’m quite impressed with my light packing, how much makeup do you normally take?
Welcome back! Hope you had a fantastic time in Cyprus :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm very much looking forward to your BB cream review - am intrigued by it but a bit worried it won't stay put on my oily skin...
And hey, I'm usually a lot worse - I have this sort of big(ish) box full of make up and always take it with me when I fly somewhere. It is so freaking heavy and I know I don't need that much stuff but I just can't help myself! Plus you can imagine I take quite a few scents with me too...
But anyways, nice to have you back :-D xo
Thank you. I did have a lovely time. I’ll have the BB review up in the next week or so I wanted to give it a try in the weather here just to compare.
ReplyDeleteThanks again :-) good to be back x
