Holiday time is hereee



Hello everyone. I know I've been quiet for a while but you may or may not know that I blog from my phone and have had a few issues with uploading a recent post (which I will continue to try and upload - Instagram) 

Now I'm off on holiday on Friday to Icemeler in turkey for two weeks. Don't get me started on packing- definitely too many clothes and products. And before I go I wanted to share with you a few products I want to buy at duty free and also some products which are some of my favourites at the moment. 

So I'll start with my current favourites. 

Please excuse my face I woke up stupidly early on my day off.

This is a look which I don't often use. Hair out my face I hate because I feel I have a large forehead but I didn't feel like doing anything totally amazing today. Minimal eye make-up really isn't me and I've got no foundation on just bb cream but this is becoming something I seem to be favouring more and more. And I like a matte face and I have no face powder on too. 

So this is the contense of my face. 


On my face I have : 
Avon Anew Vitale Beaty balm - I can't remember the price of this or if it comes with a shade as my mum is an Avon lady and I like to get first dibs on products. This is nice and matte a little goes a long way. SPF 20 which is amazing for this weather which we've been having. I use this on a daily basis and still have over half a tube left! 
Avon limited edition supershock mascara in black and glimmer stick brow defined in dark brown - mascara is a staple of mine and I will always be the first to try a new mascara this had such a lovely big brush so you can really get into the bottom of your lashes to get that length and definition of them. Brow definer is something I always keep as I have tendencies to pluck my eyebrows and end up with none and currently they're rather thin again So I keep some just to fill them out a bit. This is retractable so no sharpening YAY!! It's dark brown yes, it's a bit dark for me but the next shade is a bit too light and pointless for me. 
Cillection 2000 extreme 24 hour felt tip liner - firm felt tip so you can get precision lining and extremely long lasting. I use this too on a daily basis and never seem to buy that often. 
Bourjous blusher - it's so old the shade has rubbed off the pot. Pink a girly colour. It smells lovely however I find you need to be light handed otherwise you look like you've came out of the cold. Also I find a small brush like a kaboki brush is best to put it on as I can never get it on a normal brush! Maybe it's just me though. 
Finally 
Bobbi Brown corrector in light to medium bisque - I suffer with dark circles and this makes then disappear (or at least reduce) so much. If I'm having a  bad day got woke up early or just want to look lovely ill reach for this always over my standard concealer. However I'm now running out and need to purchase more of it :( boohoo !! 

So that's my face today. Have any of you tried any of these products and what do you think? 

Now as I'm going away on Friday I want to get some duty free products. I intend to get MAC face and body foundation. I've read mixed reviews about this but I think I'll try for myself. apparently its not great for oily skin but other reviews have said  it is, only one way to find out. And a lippie probably MAC modesty?

What have all of you tried lately and have you got any products you'd recommend for me to try. 

Speak soon.
