Things have taken a summery turn in my makeup whilst on holiday so I thought I'd give you a peek of what's inside. I've been opting for a fresh, dewy look that takes only a couple of seconds to throw on before a busy day sightsee-ing and exploring...
First up, the new base that I've been trialling, the Soap and Glory CC Cream in Good Light. Easily my favorite light-weight base ever. I haven't hopped on the CC/BB bandwagon before this so it's nice to try out a new product and it's nice to see that it isn't just all help. This stuff provides minimal coverage but helps even things out and just make everything look a bit more naturally perfected. An all-round winner for hot weather.
To finish off the base the Clarins concealer is my weapon of choice. This is one that I always forget about, but kick myself when I rediscover it. A full coverage wonder that still manages to be light, this is one that always needs to be in my makeup bag. A swish of the Solar Powder over the highpoints of the face helps give that holiday glow and subtly lift the face.
The finishing touches are also age-old favourites. Benefit's Roller Lash is one of my favorite mascara's ever - defining, curling and lengthening, plus the mini size is perfect for traveling with too. For lips, the YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in Corail Intuitive is perfect for a peachy pink pop, and works well as a cream blush too, or the Soap and Glory Gloss Balm Stick in Nudist is one of those great 'slick on and go' products that just helps pull everything together.
And finally a spritz or two and I'm ready to walk out the door. Sugar Crush is a really lovely lime/sugar scent, lovely and light for the day time and Jurlique Balancing Rose Water Spray to keep the face refreshed and hydrated.
