My Holiday Washbag!

Leave a comment

Hey Dolls,

This week I thought I’d tell you what I take in my holiday wash bag to help you guys out if you have a holiday coming up!

Right lets start with with facial skincare:face

I took minis of all my usual Liz Earle skin care which was great as it saved space and made packing what I needed super easy. I also took a mini Micellar water to remove my makeup and clean my face at the end of each day to freshen up as I find makeup wipes dry out my skin. To keep my lips from cracking in the heat I took my lush lip scrub in mint julips which I use all the time and love it! My eyes also get dry after flying so I always take an eye spray.

Next onto hair! As well as what is pictured above I took a bottle of Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner. Back to what actually was still in the wash bag! Everyone knows if you have long hair the sun and heat makes it so dry! To solve this one I took one of my fave brands Mark Hills Miracoilous Moroccan Argan Oil, smells amazing and works a treat.

Next up is Charles Worthington Sunshine Protector Salt Spray, this was great for leaving my hair to dry naturally into beachy waves and it also has some protection for your hair against sun damage.

Two Tresemme products were in my case, the mini heat protection spray which I used when I wanted to curl my hair. The second was the mini hairspray, I have always loved this hairspray as it gives great hold and brushes out easily without leaving your hair feeling sticky.

Finally for hair was my new favourite Dry Bar Detox Dry Shampoo, love this product! Well worth the hype and is fab for the in between hair wash freshen up!

The final few bits in my washbag are a bit random! Toothpaste obviously an essential, some Voltarol because its always good to have a Venus Snap razor perfect for travelling as it keeps it clean and stops the moisture bars getting stuck to everything else in your bag! The final thing is the Sonic electric toothbrush which is so good and perfect for travelling!

Hope this helps you when packing!

Ciao Bellas,

Mark Hill Pick ‘n’ Mix Wand

Leave a comment

Hey Dolls,

I want to talk about the Mark Hill Pick ‘n’ Mix wand because in my opinion I think it is amazing and such good value for money! This wand is super versatile with 5 different barrels available it has something to suit everyone! The concept is that you purchase the handle then as many of the barrels as you want separately.

I really love this wand because it is so affordable, the handle is £14.99 and all the barrels are £11.99 so if you wanted the wand and all barrels it would cost you around £75 which is such good value compared to other similar wands on the market. (available at Boots in store and online) The wand is perfect for me at uni as I have limited space and don’t have the storage available for 3 separate wands like I do at home but obviously I still wanted to be able to create a variety of curls and styles.

Also the packaging and design is AMAZING! I love the ombre pink and orange barrel! A great thing about the box is that there is a picture of a model on the front so you can see which styles you like best before purchasing which saves money and effort trying to search on line to see what results each barrel creates.

I have 3 barrels; small which creates tighter more defined curls, medium which creates looser ‘effortless’ curls and the wicked waver that creates different shaped waves with each section due to the barrel design giving a more natural finish. My personal favourite is the small barrel as I really like curls and volume! After curling each section I pin it using a clip and do my makeup whilst leaving them to cool, then I unclip, spray with hairspray (also Mark Hill-I’ll be reviewing his haircare range next week) and run some oil through.

I highly recommend this wand if you’re looking for a wand that is affordable and achieves long lasting stunning curls!
