September Favourites

Another one of my favourite posts to read or videos to watch is people's monthly favourites. So, I thought I'd start to join in and let you know a few of the things that I've been loving this month.

• MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15 - I got this to try out a few weeks ago as I'm trying not to wear foundation everyday. I really like this just to even out my skin tone a little, the coverage isn't great but for everyday it's lovely and light.
• Garnier Ambre Solaire After Sun Hydrating Tan Maintainer - Having been lucky enough to go on holiday in July and then away for the weekend last week, I've still got a nice tan and think this stuff has definitely helped me keep it!
• Botanics All Bright Refreshing Eye Roll-On - Going on holiday in Summer, I wanted to try a new eye cream to brighten under my eyes a bit when I wasn't wearing any make up. I've really noticed the difference when using this and love how cooling the roller is!
• Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in 'Nudist' - I used to wear this all the time last year, but for some reason I've neglected it the past few months. When I was getting a '3 for 2' in Boots, I had to pick one up though, remembering how much I loved it. I've pretty much worn it just about everyday this month!
• New Look Checked Shirt - I bought this shirt late August but have worn it so much in September. I like that you can switch it up and make it warmer when its cold by layering or leave it open when its a bit warmer.

What have you been loving this past month?

Packing for Holiday - My Travel Toiletry Essentials

When going on holiday I am the ultimate over-packer in every sense! I always worry that I'm going to need something and especially when it comes to make up or toiletries, I worry that I won't be able to buy it there and my skin might not react well. So I decided to put together a few of my holiday toiletries essentials that I just couldn't live without this year.

• Soap and Glory Face Soap and Clarity 3-in-1 Daily Detox Vitamin C Facial Wash - My favourite facial wash of the moment, it's got gentle exfoliating beads in as well so no need to take that with you on top!
• Soap and Glory The Fab Pore Daily Micro Smoothing Moisture Lotion - Keeping skin hydrated in the sun is a must!
• Nivea Daily Essentials Tinted Moisturising Day Cream SPF 8 in Natural - For a little bit of colour without needing any foundation on holiday, I use this in the morning just to even my skin tone a bit and the built in SPF is great!
• Soap and Glory The Righteous Butter - Lovely for a bit of luxury for your skin after a day in the sun.
• Toothbrush and Toothpaste - Not much to explain there...
• Hairbrush - ...or here really
• Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - My favourite thing for taking off make up or just refreshing your skin after a long day. Also great when using cotton buds for cleaning up eye make up.
• Tresemme Heat Defence Styling Spray - A must especially when going somewhere hot as your hairs already experiencing a lot of heat in the sun all day.
• Andrew Barton Brightening and Re hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner - I'm trying this out at the moment and really like the fresh citrus smell for summer!
• Tresemme Hair Spray - To keep the humidity off those locks!
• Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm in Cherry Me - With a bit of a tint to it, I love this to really bring out your tan and make your skin look more healthy and glowy, amazing that a lip balm can do this!
• Botanics All Bright Refreshing Eye Roll-On - No need for under eye concealer in the day when you're just lounging by the pool. This helps to brighten without any make-up and feels so nice when you put keep it in the fridge!

So there's just a few bits that I wouldn't be without when going away
