Well, I'm off to Barcelona on holiday and I thought I'd let you have a sneak peek into my travel makeup bag. ;-)
When I travel around Europe, for a short period, I prefer to pack lightly. I don't wear that much makeup when I'm away, especially if I know I'll spend most of my trip by the pool or at the beach.
July is probably my favourite time of the year, as it tends to be the sunniest and warmest month in the UK. Here's a list of the products I enjoyed the most.
1. To start off, Avène Eau Thermale Water Spray (from £3.15). Sometimes I wonder how I've survived without it, especially in the summer. If you live in London or have visited during hot days, you will know what I mean. The city just isn't prepared for the heat. This has been a life saver.
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser is a multi award winner cleanser that I love and recommend to everyone I know.
Cleanse & Polish was my first proper cleanser, after I retired the evil face wipes and I haven't looked back. I love trying new products whenever possible but I've noticed I'm always going back to this one. It's gentle, very efficient at removing makeup, including waterproof mascara, and it's pretty affordable, especially when compared to other high end brands (from £14.75 for 100ml + 1 muslin cloth).
This summer, for the first time ever, Liz Earle decided to create a new take on her best seller and released the Limited Edition cleanser with Orange Flower and Chamomile. The scent is totally different from the original cleanser. It's a soft flowery perfume that I'm really enjoying and personally prefer to the original one. I found the texture to be pretty much the same and both cleansers are equally as good. However, if you are more into very mild, fresh scents, I'd say you should probably stick to the original cleanser, which has a very light herbal smell. Whichever option, it doesn't matter, as long as you give these cleansers a try. You won't regret it!
You can still grab the limited edition, that comes with 2 muslin cloths, for £19.75 here. But hurry up!!! I have a feeling they are nearly sold out!
Let me know if you've tried it and your thoughts on this new wonderful product.

I used to be very naughty with my skin when I was younger, removing makeup with face wipes, not caring much about SPF, moisturisers, etc. However, when I reached my late 20s I started becoming more aware of the importance of looking after my skin properly and adopted a regime that still changes sometimes, but overall I'm really happy with. Here's what I do for my daily morning routine.
