FRIDAY FIVE: DUTY FREE WISHLIST

In case you haven’t picked up on the ever so subtle references in, like, ALL my recent posts – I’m going on holiday in a couple of weeks. I’m a complete plane nerd so I love airports and I reserve a special place in my heart for Duty Free! High end make-up with money off?? Yes please!

I’ve always been a ridiculously organised traveller. I plan out my outfits so I don’t overpack, have a killer in-flight routine and this organisation also extends to thinking about what I’d like to pick up in Duty Free. My make-up and skincare wishlist is about a mile long now so it’s nice to have a list to focus on so I don’t get too distracted whilst wandering through.

Here are five of the products making their way onto my list… Duty Free Wishlist

  1. Bobbi Brown Long Wear Even Finish Foundation, £31.50
    Cynthia from Beautylicious Style recommended this to me in the comments section of my post about my foundation staples. It sounds like something I’d love so I’m hoping to pick one up.
  2. MAC Powder Blush, £18.50
    I’m not totally sure which colour/s I’ll end up getting but I think Desert Rose looks like it would be beautiful with a tan. Let’s face it, there’s a strong possibility that I could end up with all the blushers from my dream MAC blusher palette post!
  3. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Sycronized Recovery Complex II, £50
    As I mentioned in my skincare wishlist post a few weeks back, I’ve been wanting to try this for quite a while but it’s so expensive I couldn’t really justify it but, with a bit of a discount it seems a totaly justifiable purchase!
  4. MAC Lipstick, £15.50
    The list of MAC lipsticks I want to try is just ridiculously long so I’m not sure what I’ll end up picking up but at the moment Twig and Russian Red are high up on my list.
  5. Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Perfume, £50
    I’ve heard so many people rave about this and describe it as just being summer in a bottle so I’m hoping to have a sniff in person and grab one if it’s as delicious as people say.

Watch out World Duty Free, I’m coming for you…

Anything else I should be keeping my eye out for at the airport?

BEAUTY REVIEW: KIKO UNIVERSAL FIT HYDRATING FOUNDATION

I recently had a bit of a mini haul in Kiko, if you follow me on Instagram you might have seen this picture of the goodies I picked up. After reading so much about the brand, but being yet to try anything, it felt like it was high time to pick up a few things and I’ve been trying them out for the past month.

I really wanted to try to Universal Fit Hydrating Foundation after reading a bunch of positive reviews from other bloggers and with an amazing £6.90 price tag I couldn’t not bring one home! First up, the packaging is lovely. It’s sleek, simple and no frills, without looking cheap and seems super travel friendly with it’s tube packaging and screw top lid.

FRIDAY FIVE: SHADY LOOKS

My holiday countdown is officially on and the weather seems to be quite nice here in the UK at the moment (although obviously saying that will immediately jinx it and we’ll have torrential rain for the next few days…) so sunglasses are on my mind, on my face and, more often than not, on top of my head.

You can never have too many pairs of sunglasses and here are five of my favourite picks in five different styles…Sunglasses roundup
