My holiday make up - what I brought vs what I used!

Well ladies, I'm back from a lovely 10 days in Spain and I had a fantastic time!  Lots to eat and drink and lots of relaxing was had by all and I'm ready to start blogging again :)  I decided to write this post about what make up I brought vs what I actually used, in the hope that it will help others out there like moi!

Will I ever learn?  Take a look at the make up I brought with me on my hols..

And this was after the second round of cuts...  These were the products that I *knew* I would "absolutely need and would be raging if I'd left them behind".

These are the products I actually used:

Yes, this was it.  It was meltingly hot over there and for some reason I decided to bring foundation?  I used my Body Shop Honey Bronze bronzing gel on the nights we were going out to give a gorgeous natural glow to my face and neck.  This stuff is amazing and I will be doing a full review on it soon, it deserves it's own post.

The second product I used on nights out was my newly acquired Cha Cha Tint from Benefit.  I am in love with it as I knew I would be before even buying it and it was the perfect product to give a nice peachy glow to my cheeks.  I used the duo fibre brush above to apply both of these products since I wanted a natural look, nothing too heavy and this is the perfect brush for that.  I don't like applying stains like Cha Cha Tint with my fingers because I don't think I'm a good blender and I'm always afraid it will set before I've finished blending.

The next product was my Avon Supershock mascara that my sister bought me a few weeks ago.  As you know from my extremely serious scientific experiment conducted recently comparing my waterproof mascaras, entitled "The Best Waterproof Mascara In My Collection Even Though I Only Have Three."  I took The Body Shop's Big and Curvy waterproof mascara and the Avon Supershock but forgot to bring my waterproof make up remover so it was Avon all the way and I really do love this mascara.  I took my cucumber scented make up wipes from Boots with me too, I love leaving them in the fridge and it's a lovely way of cooling the aul skin down a bit.  It also cemented my decision to use the Avon Supershock mascara since I was able to remove it with the wipes.

I used my Sleek Storm Palette along with an angled brush that I couldn't seem to find when going to take the photos to fill in my blonde brows and that was it!

It was too hot and humid to do anything else and I felt with having to lash the sunscreen on my face all day, I didn't want to apply anything too heavy on to my skin.

So ladies, what are your must have items that you *need* to bring away with you and then you end up leaving them in the make up bag for the entirety of the hollier!
