For me, especially with summer holidays, I like to keep things very minimal. I love to wear make-up and get all dressed but when I'm holiday I really like to just chill in something comfortable and not have make-up dripping down my face (you know it happens).

 

Hair

 

For hair I usually blow dry on holiday purely because it tends to get frizzy in humidity, so for this I've packed a mini Tresemme Heat Protector which I actually might just throw into my handbag/beach bag and spritz through my hair when it's under the heat. Of course I also have my trusty batiste for when my hair gets sweaty/oily between washes to freshen up. I don't usually style my hair on holidays, just braid it or something but I might through in my curler wand for good measure.

Make-Up

Like I said, SIMPLE. No-one can be bothered applying a full face of make-up when you're itching to go get dinner and drink too much wine. I pretty much don't wear make-up in the day time at all, mainly because I like to get a little tan and after the first day my skin seems to clear up anyway. But in the evenings I like to use a little something to brighten things up. I usually dab a little concealer under my eyes, powder my face, apply a little brown kohl around my eyes and smudge, shape my brows and finish with mascara and lip balm.

Skincare/Body

On holiday I like to let my skin really breathe. I barely do anything at all. This usually does my skin a world of good, my skin glows when I get back from a holiday and is always looking its best. If I was going for longer than a week I would definitely look at taking my skincare routine products with me. I have my simple wipes, in case I wear make-up. Body scrub, for any scaly skin issues. Moisturiser, which I will apply each night to keep my skin hydrated.

Sun Protector, doh! I LOVE getting a tan, having olive skin, this is quite easy for me (thanks dad) but am still all about protecting it so I don't get burnt and expose myself to any risks. I love this Malibu Sun Protector, I've used it for my last few holidays and love everything about it. The smell is incredible, a holiday in a bottle. You do not have to rub in or wait to dry, spray and it's gone. At first I was actually like, nooo this can't be protecting me, right? I didn't get burnt once. Finally, it is SO cheap. Sun Creams/Lotions/Potions can get very expensive, I originally brought this as it was one of the cheapest but don't think I will go back!

 

 

 I may chuck in a few extra things last minute, I need some 'Quickies' Nail Polish remover pads, these are fab for a quick touch up. Maybe a bright summer lipstick? Who knows! In a weeks time I will be waiting in the airport for my flight to come in so I can jet off to Greece. I'm super excited!

What are your holiday essentials? Please let me know, I may be forgetting something!
