Hello,
Happy half-term holidays!
This term has been particularly exhausting with exams and Duke of Edinburgh expeditions so this break is very much needed and I am looking forward to a rest. For some people, this is a time for travelling, visiting and exploring new places. Due to this, I thought I would write about some of my current favourite mini-sized beauty products which are perfect for squashing in to an already over-flowing suitcase.
In many cosmetic shops, there are always gift sets on the shelves (especially during special holidays) and these are fab for presents. This means that birthdays and Christmas' are a great time to stock up on travel products. The little bottles are also handy when you've emptied them as you can then transfer product from your favourite big bottle into it, which is much more practical to take away.
This first box set is from the 'Dirty Works' brand which is sold in Sainsburys and is a cheaper equivalent to 'Soap and Glory', in my opinion. They come as a set of four with a body scrub, body wash, body lotion and bath soak. What I love about these is there relaxing fragrances (calendula flower extract and chamomile) and there eye-catching packaging. I have always loved packaging, but that's a story for another time... Anyway, the witty comments on the back do make the product more appealing and are great for the trendy retro theme!
My next favourite product is the 'EXTRACTS luxurious vanilla body wash' from Boots. I love the beautiful soft sweet scent, pastel coloured packaging and that it contains fairtrade ingredients (honey produced by communities in South America).
The products from the brand 'I love...' always have such lovely fragrances and pretty shimmering colours. There collection is growing with a really awesome range, including 'raspberry & blackberry', 'honey almond' and 'coconut & cream'. However, I think that the best scent is the 'strawberries & cream' which smells delicious and has a lovely foaminess to it.
Lastly, the body butters from 'The Body Shop' come in a very large range with many varieties of fragrances. They can be bought in different sizes as well, the smallest being 50ml which is pictured below. The packaging comes in distinctive bright, bold colours and has a twist-off lid which easily comes off, hooray! The product is very hydrating and perfect for keeping your skin hydrated, soft and smooth whilst out in the sunshine.
(sorry, I couldn't find a website link to the 50ml version but they sometimes appear in the shop or as part of gift sets)
What are you doing this holiday?
Hope you have a great time whatever you are up to :)
