What Else For The Holidays?


After the dresses, what is next to think about?

After the presents and the wrapping – nearly done – the packing is happening and last is the beauty/make-up bag.


I like to travel light in this department.

Taking too many potions is not my idea of a relaxing break. Cleansing, serum, nourishing and maybe a mask alongside a minimum make-up is my goal. Sometimes if I think there will be time for a beauty detox – and this holiday I am making time – there will be a little extra treat for a long and lazy bath.


What about holiday make-up?

Make-up has become more and more minimum for me and my bag contains a small selection of tried and true favourites.

My Top 10 checklist:

Primer,   Concealer,   Tinted Coverage,   Whitening Eye Kajal,   Darker Eye Pencil

Mascara,   Eyebrow Gel,   Translucent Powder,   Lip Pencils,   Fragrance


On holidays I leave the blusher at home and use the lip pencils for highlighting.


This is a quick make-up routine and one I can almost complete with my eyes shut. In the evenings I swap the nude lip for the deeper shade and add a bit more eye drama with the pencil. The days of an elaborate make-up routine have long passed me by.


The Countdown is on here.

Finish wrapping, start packing and holidays here we come. xv
