(More) Holiday Planning

In fact, the whole range is worth a try. Although it’s not cheap it’s money well spent if it saves your hair from damage.

Thinking about make-up on holiday I’m always torn between the bare face look and wanting to look human. That reminded me of the BB Cream that I wore a lot last summer which is the Balance Me Skin Perfector BB Cream SPF25. It costs £26.00 so it’s not cheap but it’s 99% natural and among other things contains abyssinian and rosehip oils, blackberry leaf extract,  hyaluronic acid, spruce knot, lotus flower and violet seed extracts.

You’ll find a full review here – I think that this is definitely something I’ll take along for the ride.

What makes me worry about packing now that I’ve got a make-up obsession is how am I possibly going to take everything I need. That got me thinking about if there is a palette that would be suitable. That’s led me to take a long hard look at the Urban Decay Naked On The Run travel ready kit. Now, I’m ashamed to admit that I don’t own anything by Urban Decay, apart from the odd sample. But this little kit seems to cover almost everything I need.

What You Get:

Eyeshadow: Dive (metallic rose w/golden micro-shimmer), Fix (soft taupe matte), Resist (medium metallic taupe), Dare (medium brown matte), Stun (metallic bronze w/light gold micro-shimmer) and 5050 (cool bisque satin). Bronzer: medium bronze matte. Blush: vibrant pink w/light shimmer. Perversion Mascara: blackest black. 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil: Stag (deep brown satin). Naked Lipgloss: Sesso (rose w/pink shimmer).

Now this isn’t cheap but we know it’s good – at least that’s what all you fellow bloggers tell me! It costs £37.00 here.

I’ve been giving some thought to clothing too. And you’ll know from my recent post on fragrance (here) that I’m loving the concept of mediterranean blue seas. I had a dress years ago that I loved which was kind of ombre with shades of blue that I’d love to buy again. I don’t find shopping too easy being plus size but that doesn’t stop me liking stuff that won’t fit either my size or my age. Still, I had to just add in this Agate Placement Skirt that I saw in Jigsaw on the Kings Road this week. It’s totally inappropriate for the holiday and out of my budget as well as not being in my size but I love it!

They say:

“Distinctive skirt beautifully crafted in pure silk with exclusive-to-Jigsaw Agate print. Overstated inverted-front pleat detail, midi length and concealed zip closure. We’re in awe of this artistic print which was hand-painted in-house by our design team.”

If it up you street you can buy it here for £159.

So, I guess I’ve got a little further with my planning, Not much further though – it’s a good job there’s plenty of time before I go. I may actually get a little more organised with a check list that I could share with you. Or maybe you have one that you could share?

Hope to hear your thoughts on holiday planning soon.
