What's in my travel makeup bag?

So I'm going to Mallorca in 2 weeks and I thought a 'What's in my makeup bag?' would be an appropriate and fun blogpost! I haven't included foundation because I know I won't wear it on holiday. So let's get into this!<3

These are the face products I will be taking. I will be priming my face with the Nivea express hydration primer to keep my face hydrated in the sun. First up I will take my favourite concealer which is 'Seventeen stay time concealer' for good coverage but it doesn't cake. 'The eraser eye concealer' to cover my awful bags! ( Definitely recommend this)  and to set all this the much raved about Rimmel clear complexion powder. To add a little dimension and life to my face i'll be taking my sculpture kit to bronze and highlight my face! I love this palette as the powders are super pigmented and perfect shades for me.

I'm taking 2 palettes because I wanted a range of pink and brown tones, the revolution palette is called 'iconic 3' and the MUA one is 'undress me too'.These are both amazing but cheap palettes so I won't worry about them getting smashed as much! To add to this I will take the Benefit Roller lash mascara (which has been my favourite at the moment. For brows ill be using the BEST THING THAT WAS EVER CREATED IN THE HISTORY OF BROWS- Soap and glory brow archery! This is the best thing i've ever brought and I definitely recommend it. To set that I will use the essence brow and lash clear gel which is perfect!

I will be taking these lip products with me and they are all perfect for summer time! Firstly an SPF lipbalm which is a MUST when your in the sun. I'm bringing the peach kiss babylips for a moisturising tinted lip and similarly the lancome juicy shaker in 'meli melon' . Finally I chose two lipsticks even though i'm not a big lipstick person. My Mac lipstick in 'creme cup' and the Essence lipstick in 'natural beauty'.

I hope this blogpost gets you excited for summer and your holiday if your going away because I know i'm super excited after writing this! Hope you all have an amazing summer and ill speak to you in my next blogpost!

March Favourites!

So this post is going to be a march favourites and it's a collab with the lovely emma who is also doing a march favourites! I love her blog and I think you would too so definatly go check it out after youve read my post ;) See her blog here.

Recently I had rediscovered my lash sensational mascara! I went through a phase of loving it but then I started to find it clumpy. A couple of weeks ago I tried it again but shaking the wand as I apply it and this gets out the clumps, i've been using it daily ever since.

A toothbrush is quite a weird thing to put in a favourites post BUT its a colgate one i am pretty sure and on the end of the toothbrush its got a whitening pen, ive been using it daily and im really seeing the difference so if your looking for a teeth whitener I would definatly reccommend this!

The LA GIRL pro conceal concealer is amazing for under my eyes! its the perfect colour for me and it was about £4 on amazon so it's really worth it :)

Another makeup favourite of mine has been the Tanya Burr 'rosy flush' cheek palette purely for the highlighter in 'oyster shell' i've been wearing it every day to school just on the tops of my cheeks and I love it!

My favourite scent has been the Hollister spray in 'silver strand beach' Its really fruity and i've loved having it in my bag throughout the school day.

LUSH LUSH LUSH, its always been a firm favourite of mine but this month due to having dofe and stress of mocks I have had many baths! All of which i've used a lush bath bomb/bubble bar! They all smell amazing and just make my bath a little more fun! ;)

Lastly I thought Id include a youtuber i've really enjoyed watching this month! I only came across Saffron Barker this month and i've been loving her videos especially her vlogs!!

Thats it for today folks, I'll see you again soon with a new post!

Skincare Routine!

Hey guys, so I haven't been very active on my blog recently its because I have been choosing my A-Level choices and sending off college applications however I absolutely love writing and taking photos for my blog so i'm defiantly going to make sure I continue to write regularly. Any onto the post... this is my skincare routine and I don't do much with my skin so its not the most interesting post sorry! This is also a collab with a lovely girl named Stella! she is also doing the same post and her blog is : stella's blog ! so make sure you check that out after you've read this. SO lets get onto the skincare routine!

So yes, this is the much talked about GARNIER MICELLAR WATER. I use this most of the time to remove my makeup because it's just so quick and easy! i use about 3 cotton pads and its gone in about 30 seconds! I've gone through about 5 bottles of these this year and they actually last really well.

This is the Liz Earle cleanse and polish. i tend to use this a couple of times a week to remove makeup or generally cleanse my face. I rub a bit over my face then wash it off with a steaming hot flannel and its amazing for taking off makeup, it removes everything even tough mascara and leaves my face feeling so fresh!

I use this every so often when i'm feeling like I want to pamper myself more( a couple of times a week) It's just a more cleansing lotion as appose to moisturising purpose lotion!

This is the only moisturizer I've ever used and I absolutely love it, my skin doesn't really get dry so I dont use it on a daily basis but when I do moisturise this is what I use.

Lastly but my no means least, I use the Witch blemish stick when I feel like I've had a bad spot day, so I'll put it on after taking my makeup off and it just helps to clear up and reduce the look of spots.

So that's it until next time, I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope you have a good week lovelies.

Lots of love holly xox :)

Top 10 Products Under £10!

Hey guys! So today I have got a Top 10 products under £10 for you and I thought this would be great to see the products I really recommend because these products are my absolute holy grail products that I mostly use on a daily basis. So I hope you like it!

First of all is a new discovery of mine and its the nivea men, post shave balm. That may sound very very strange, infact it does LOL. But if you watch Nikki tutorials(you should by the way shes a babe) you would know that she uses this product as a primer because it has glycerin in it, which is in primers and is the thing that makes products stick to your face! So basically this makes your makeup stay on all day long, seriously this is no joke, its incredible. Its roughly £5 and you can get it from places like boots or any supermarket really so its very easy to get hold of. Honestly I cant recommend this any higher!

Next is a product thats been a favourite of mine for years! It is the collection lasting perfection concealer.I have been through about 8 tubes of this and it lasts me a good few months per tube. Its got amazing coverage! It's actually light enough for my skin and best of it is, ITS ONLY £4.19! How insane is that! I definatley think you should get it if you should get one because its amazing ;)

Another fave of mine is the Maybelline 'the matte maker' powder. This is about £4 I think and I guess there's not anything amazing about it but it keeps my face matte all day and does a pretty fab job of it ;) It's the best powder i've tried!

Next is a brow product that I have been loving recently and its the Maybelline brow satin (i've been loving Maybelline ;) I'm not going to go into detail because I mentioned this product in my November faves so go check that out for details.

Next is the cheapest product in this blog post and it's £1, yep its £1 and in my top 10! Its an MUA blush in the shade 'bonbon' It's such a pretty musky pink and highly pigmented! I would may £10 for it and its only £1 so that's mad!

The next product i'm going to talk about is a bronzer and highlighter duo and it's the Maybelline 'master sculpt'. One reason I love it is because its so compact and has a mirror so its so easy to carry around with you! Both parts are super pigmented and really suit my skin tone. The only thing that would make it better is if the highlighter was bigger because its tiny and hard to get at with a brush! (£6.99) which is a good price considering the quality!

Ok so after the Naked basics 2, this is my favourite eyeshadow palette! Its the MUA 'undress me too'. All of the eyeshadows are very pigmented and they are all so so pretty! there are three mattes I believe and the rest are shimmers which is quite similar to most palettes and this is actually only £4 which is incredible for the pigmentation!

Next is a mascara, the Maybelline lash sensational. I have been wanting this for ages after hearing an endless amount of people raving about it! I just never got round to getting it until my friend got it as an xmas present for me which I am EXTREMELY grateful for! This is the most insane mascara ever! Its so black, Seperates and lengthens your lashes so well, honestly i can even tell you, just get it and then you'll see, it will change your life which sounds crazy but honestly. Trust me.

The last two products are lip products so firstly is a lipstick and I feel this really isn't raved about enough! It's an essence lipstick in 07 natural beauty! These lipsticks are super pigmented and this shade is my fave, its a your lips but better colour :) Plus they are only £2.30 I believe so super cheap for such a good lipstick. I think in the UK they are only available at wilko's so not that easy to get hold of! Seriously though these aren't talked about enough!

Lastly but by no means least is an EOS, this is the one in 'sweet mint' this one is fab for this time of year because if you've got a cold the minty scent really helps to unblock your nose :) These are £4-7 which is quite expensive for lip balms i guess but there so cool and easy to just chuck in your bag and I love them!

So thats all for this post, I hope you enjoyed this and if you have any blogpost requests then comment them down below because i'd love to hear about them! Thanks so much for reading guys and Merry christmas!
