SUMMER: THOSE HOLIDAY ESSENTIALS



We're finally off on our holiday yay! When you are reading this I will be soaking up the sun with a cold one in my hand. 

I thought i'd share a few beauty bits that i've brought along with me.

Hair: I always end up bring too many hair products with me when I go on holiday. First I have these little mini OGX Coconut Milk shampoo and conditioners. These smell incredible and will be so handy! I have packed the Toni and Guy sea salt texurizing spray and the Schwarzkopf texturizing spray. The mini toni and guy one will be handy for in my beach bag so when i'm at the beach or by the pool I can give my hair a little spritz of texture. I've also packed the Lee Stafford Coco Loco Blow and Go which is a really handy creme which you can use in dry hair to defrizz and to tame or use when blow drying to help dry hair faster and reduce fly away hairs. 

I've also packed my travel Tangle Teezer, as this is so handy to keep in your beach bag to detangle your hair after you've been for a swim or in the sea

Suncare: I've packed Piz Buin factor 30 as I couldn't find factor 50 which is what I usually get as i'm quite fair skinned and tend to burn easy. I've also packed an Hawaiian Tropic oil to get a better tan, this smells gorgeous. I've packed the Clarins Face suncream as my face is really sensitive and I find this works well at locking in hydration and protecting my skin from the sun. 
I've got the Vichy Ideal Soleil oil after sun which is lovely on the skin and i'm so excited to give this a good try. 


These Purepotions salves are so handy when your away, you can use them for so many things from sprains to cold sores. 

I have packed some carex hand sanitizer which are so handy when your at the beach or going for some food to keep your hand clean and fresh.


My Clarins lip comfort oil is a staple when i'm away, I always bring it to add hydration to my lips as they get really sore and dry when i'm on holiday.

THINGS I'M TAKING TO FLORIDA


So incase I haven't mentioned it enough haha i'm going to Florida in a few days! I've started packing because i've got work pretty much every day until we go. I've picked out my outfits, i've tried not to pack too much because I want to buy a few things whilst i'm in the US.
I thought i'd show you a few of my holiday essentials. Most of the clothing/ accessories are from Primark as I didn't wanna spend loads on new things.

First up my Bikinis, normally i don't care about my bikinis I tend to pick up cheap ones in primark but since finding out I was wearing the wrong bra size I decided to get a couple of decent bikini's that actually fit and support me. Were going to be visiting the waterparks in florida so that support is going to be really important. First up I picked this blue plunge style from Cleo by Panache, its gorgeous!  I love the colour and it looks great on! I also picked out the watermelon bikini by Freya. I think this is such a cute holiday pattern!

I love these sliders from Primark, they look so comfy. I like the shimmery gold/ silver effect and they were only £4! I also picked up the black sandals from primark. They are just a nice classy pair of sandals that I'll be able to wear with any outfit, making them a really good pair of shoes to bring along.

I picked up a few pairs of shorts from Primark, including this blue and white patterned pair. I normally wear alot of skirts and dresses on holiday but because were going to the theme parks I think i'm gonna need shorts so i'm comfy on the rides and not flashing anyone.

I love stripes and when I was taking photos for this post I noticed theres so many stripes in my case. I love this stripe toiletries bag from Primark it was such a great buy! I have a few stripey tops that I will be able to wear on the days and the nights and of course a pair of £1 flip flops from primark

I've got the 50+ suncream packed so heres a couple of products i'm taking along. I'm going to bring along my Lee Stafford Beach Blondes* shampoo and conditioner to stop those brassy tones coming though whilst i'm away. I find the sun tends to lighten my hair and turn it slightly yellow. I've packed my Urban Decay B6 Prep Spray, to reduce redness and to reduce pores and oil. I picked up this Dr Organic Aloe Gel from Holland and Barrett aswell, I usually just pick up a cheap After Sun but I really want to keep my skin hydrated and this Aloe Gel should cool the skin down after a long day in the sun.
