Let's Travel// Carry On Liquids

Hello everyone,

Today I have another Let's Travel post for you, this is going to be about the liquids I carry on the plane with me in my hand luggage. This is only a 4 hour flight so I'm not doing a skincare routine. Also this is all different for each airline so check with your airlines regulations. (UK airports Link)

Also just to point out this bag is great for your liquids, it is approved and I brought this from Rymans, this is called a Snopake Air Bag - Link


I have two samples that I got from a magazine with me, these are the Hawaiian Tropic SPF 15 Sun Cream. The reason why I have this with me because when we land it is going to be around 1pm and I wouldn't like to risk getting burnt. The my other sample is the Garnier Combo to Oily skin and dry skin moisturizer, I have got this just in case I feel I need to moisturiser my skin so it doesn't get too oily or dry.

Them I have four Lip Balms, I carry so many lip balms with me on a daily basis and I like to have a choice. I have the Palmers lip balm, Burt's Bees Mango lip balm, Carmex Tinted Berry lip balm and the Raspberry Balmi. They are all my favourite lip balms and I have to have them with me.

Moving swiftly onto hands, I have a Body Shop Cranberry Bliss hand cream and the Carex sensitive hand gel. I always have a hand cream with me because I hate having dry hands and it's always nice to moisturise. Also when you are travelling it's so important to keep your hands clean, but on the plane you can't get up every 10 minutes, this is why I love hand gel. 

My last thing is my Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula moisturiser, I love this it makes your body feel so fresh and clean. Also as you all may know how horrible the Airplane air is, so it's good just to have it if your feeling a tad dry.

- Just a side note I am going to be doing these Let's Travel posts more than once a week, this is so I can get the majority of them done before I go on holiday.

I don't think I 'over pack'! But what do you take as your liquids carry on bag?

101// Lip Balm

Hello everyone,

Since the Summer is here I am all over lip balms, I think lip balms are perfect in the summer because some contain spf and they are just amazing. This is going to be me telling you all about my favourite lip balms!



I am going to start off with an old cult favouirte of mine, I have been loving this since the age of around 10. It's the Flava Craza Lipbalm in Watermelon. These are very nourishing and hydrating, perfect for above and under lip sticks.

My favouirte one I love to apply over a lip scrub, is the Body Shop Lip Butter. This is amazing for putting moisture and hydrating dry lips. I use a Lush Lip Scrub and apply this over for the top, it's very thick and amazing for night and day use.

The one I rely on for sore lips is Carmex, I have the mint one but the Cherry is my favouirte. This is amazing for sore lips because it tingles and you feel as if it's really helping and feels very nourishing and helpful.

My two favouirtes for daily use are the Burts Bees Nourishing lip balm with Mango and the Palmers Cocoa Butter Lip Balm. These are great because they both contain SPF 15, are perfect for soft lips and just great for topping up on.

I have a more expensive lip balm and this is the Elizabeth Arden 8hr Lip balm, this is great for topping up on aswell. I wouldn't reccomend this if you are more of a drugstore kinda lip balm person. But if you feel like going all out this is one for you, it's not 100% my favoutite but 85% my favourite. 

If your more of a pot sort of lip balm person they I highly reccomend the Bomb Cosmetics Tutti Fruitt Lip balm. I love this but having it in a pot is a pain. This is very light and is perfect over and under lipsticks etc. And this smells amazinggggg.

I had to throw in a Lip Tint, my favouirte is the Lush Santa Baby lip tint, this was limited edition but they will bring out a similar one soon i'm guessing. This is the perfect 'I'm starting out with reds' colour. Also this stays on for a long time, great for school/work and everyday.

Tag// Lip Product Addict

Hello everyone,

I saw Amelia and Estee make this tag and I had to do it, and it's all about lip products, from you favourite balm to you highend favourite. And of course I have more than one for some questions but oh well.

I am a lip product addict.

1. Favourite balm/treatment? - My favourite lip balms are the Burt's Bees nourishing lip butter with Mango and the Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula original lip balm. These are both amazing hydrating lip balms, they feel amazing under and over lipsticks, with a lip scrub they are the perfect two.  

2. Best eye-catching red? - I am not a big red fan, I prefer more of a sheer red. I have choosen the Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Plum Jam. This is an amazing every day red not too bright or dark. I really want to try more red lipsticks, if you have any favouirtes leave them below.

3. Best luxury & best drugstore? - This was the easiest question to answer, my drugstore favouirte is the Revlon matte lipstick in Pink Pout, this is one of my first lipsticks and I wear it all the time; perfect for everyday. My high end lipsticks are the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in 74 and 70, the packaging is stunning and the colours are great for everyday. 74 (Parfait) is a perfect light pink with a hint of pink shimmer. And 70 (Sourire) this is a great pink for everyday with slight shimmer. These are amazing lipsticks for everyday and I would highly reccomend these lipsticks.

4. Best MAC lipstick? - This was really easy for my to choosen and Angle (Frost) is my favourite, this is the best everyday lipsticks, this looks amazing with every look, it doesn't look over the top or too nude. This is great if your looking for a pinky nude lipsticks for everyday.

5. The most disappointing? - My most dissapointing lip product is going to come to a shock to some, but it's the NYX Mega Shine lipgloss in La La, the colour isn't too bad but I don't lip the smell, I find these quite sticky aswell. Also I don't like the packaging either. I want to try another colour the one Beige I think.

6. Liner, yes or no? - I have to admit I am not the biggest lip liner fan, but I do wear it sometimes if I really want a lipstick to last. My go to one is the Rimmel Exaggerate Liner in 003 Eastend Snob. I brought this because Sammi recommended the Revlon lipstick and said this looks amazing under it and it does. 

7. Best gloss? - I have picked a drugstore which is the Tanya Burr Lipgloss in First Date, this is a perfect baby/pale pink, this looks great over Mac's Angel, this smells amazing and is not sticky. My highend favouirte is the Chanel Lipgloss in 166, this is stunning and looks amazing on it's own and over lipsticks.

8. Something Extra! - For something extra I have chosen the Revlon Lip in Sweet Tart, I have mentioned this in a posts and this looks great dabbed in for everyday and applied generously for a brighter more daring look.

I tag everyone! Do you have any lip product recommendations for me?

February// Wishlist

Hello everyone,

I was wondering what blog post I wanted to do, and by the title you can tell it's not a tag. I thought I would do a current wishlist. This is just a few things I have been wanting lately.


1/2/3/4/5/6/7

Can I just say how stunning this Bikini is! This is so on trend this bikini is very 60's also High wasted bottoms is bang on trend for Summer and what gives this bikini more shape is the triangle cut outs, also the black trimming is very flattering because it adds shape, and the illusion of more shape.

I never thought I would want the Urban Decay Naked 3 pallete but the packaging for a start is stunning! the colours are very pink/rose gold tones. I think this is a very different pallet and is still very wearable.

I always want something from Mac, but I never thought it would be a brush? I am in love with my Real Techniques and Eco Tools brushes, but there is something about the 208 that I really want; Perfect for brows. Also my Mum has the Mineralize skin finish natural and I love it, I have had my eye on this for quite a while, I think I want it more because in the drugstore there isn't many mineralize powders (Comment below if you know of any). 

Also Burt's Bees is one of my favourite or my ultimate favourite for Lip Balms, I have seen this for a while but never really though about getting it. But I love tinted lip balms for everyday their so natural and just perfect for school.
