Holiday Beauty Favourites

I'm finally back blogging after a busy couple of weeks. I was away in Spain and since I got back I have been working supervising exams. I have time to write a quick post today so I decided to share my holiday favourites. 

La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water - I picked up a mini bottle of this product as I knew I HAD to have it on holiday. This product is fantastic as it has so many uses. In Ireland I usually just use it to set make up or to freshen my make up during the day. In hot weather I use it a lot to cool down. It is so refreshing and feels amazing against your skin. I also used it on sunburn as it straight away cools and sooths the pain. 

Very hard to photo as the outside is like a mirror, mine broke but I reset it.

H&M Bronzer - My skin is usually milk bottle white. I like to be pale so I don't use any bronzer. However, I knew the sun would darken my skin so I packed H&M's Bronzer into my suitcase. Since my skin tanned in the sun my usual foundation was actually too pale for me. (This is a first!) I used the H&M bronzer to lightly darken the foundation to suit my new skin colour. I also used it to cover annoying white strap marks. I worked in H&M for years and this Bronzer was there no.1 selling beauty item. They used to sell out within a few days. I even saw people buying six or seven of them at a time. They are great value for money €5.95 for a HUGE bronzer. Be careful not to drop as they smash very easily. 

Rescue Oil Lotion - Another great product to pack in your suitcase is Rescue Oil Lotion. This lotion has so many uses including: 

• Ageing Skin 
• Scar Tissue 
• Blemished Skin
• Treatment and prevention of stretch marks
• before, during and after pregnancy massage lotion
• After Sun Treatment
• Dry, dehydrated skin conditions 

I used it as a moisturiser and also as an after sun to sooth burned skin. It is non greasy and is easily absorbed to the skin. It worked really well and is only €1.49 in Dealz. I love that it is small enough to fit into my airport plastic bag for carry on suitcases. 

So that's my holiday favourites! I only wish I was still there....!

Rescue Oil - Lotion

About a month ago I posted about my love for Rescue Oil. (Click here!) I found it great for my super dry skin. The makers of Rescue Oil saw my review and offered to send me out a new version of Rescue Oil. This time the product is in lotion form. I was quite excited by this!

Just like the oil version the lotion is designed for:

• Ageing Skin
• Scar Tissue
• Blemished Skin
• Treatment and prevention of stretch marks
• Before, during and after pregnancy massage lotion
• After Sun Treatment
• Dry, dehydrated skin conditions

Side by side with the Rescue Oil

The great thing about the lotion version is that it is non greasy and is easily absorbed to the skin. It is designed so that it still contains 25% pure rescue oil so it is still as effective as the oil version. The lotion also does not have as strong of a rose smell as the oil. The lotion is also not tested on animals! 

Swatch on my hand

Overall I'm quite impressed with it! I will definitely be bringing it on holiday to use as a moisturiser and as an after sun. (It's the perfect size to fit in the plastic bag for your hand luggage.) Just like the oil the lotion can be picked up in Dealz for the bargain price of €1.49.

March Favourites!

I can't believe it is April already! This year is actually flying by. So a new month means a new monthly favourites. Here is what I was loving in March.

La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water - After seeing this product over on Viva Adonis I knew I had to have it. I had been searching for a setting spray for ages but did not want to fork out €27 for an Urban Decay spray. This spray is great value it is only €9 for a 150ml bottle. I use this spray to set my make up and to hydrate my dry skin. It also can be used as a cooling spray so it was great during the hot weather we had during the week. It really cooled down my face and refreshed my make up. I have had it for a few months now and still have a lot left. 

Rescue Oil - I have been using this everyday since I bought it. Amazing value at €1.49. It has really improved my dry skin. For a full review click here!

Boots from Dunnes Stores - This is a random item for a monthly favourites, I usually just stick to beauty products but I am in love with these boots. They are so comfy and I just adore them! €30 Dunnes Stores.

I have used it so much I broke the cover .... :(

MUA Professional Heaven and Earth Palette - Once again this palette has made it into my monthly favourites! I adore this palette! I use it everyday to fill in my eyebrows and usually on my eyes also. (I work as a teacher so I have to keep my eyes quite neutral. This palette is a perfect work palette.)

Revlon ColourStay in 110 Ivory - I bought this foundation once again the other day. I must be on my 6th bottle by now. It is the perfect shade for my snow white skin and I adore it. I buy it in Georges Street arcade for €10. Just to let you know if anyone else buys it from there that the shop is moving over to the Ilac Centre. It will open a store beside Argos. I'm so happy I heard about this I would have been devastated to find it closed! 

So that's what I was loving during March!
