Holiday Essentials and a Duty Free Purchase!

Hello!! I've just returned from an amazing holiday in the beautiful island of Majorca, I had such a good holiday relaxing around the pool and updating my tan!! I used lots of different beauty products and in this post I'm showing you some of my favourite and most used! And also a cheeky duty free purchase which I bought in the airport before flying home.

My first essential for any beach holiday is a body scrub, I took the Spatopia Deep Sea body scrub which was perfect for exfoliating and removing all the suncream and dirt which clogs up your pores. I particularly love this scrub because it's not too rough and oh my it smells so fresh and amazing!!



As wells as exfoliating, I also find that whilst on holiday and after my skin also needs a good cleanse again to remove any sun cream and dirt which is in pores because no one wants a break out! My current cleanser which I took with me is the Garnier Micellular water, this stuff is amazing! It removes any makeup, even waterproof mascara, easily!! It leaves my skin feeling fresh and refreshed and I would really recommend it to everyone!!


 

Another favourite of mine is the Nivea in shower body moisturiser, this is perfect for holiday because it saves so much time when getting ready because you can moisturise your body whilst in the shower. I often find that on holiday the sun starts to dry out my skin and this is great for moisturising and it makes your skin feel so soft. This is the honey flavour and it smells good enough to eat!!




As well as my skin, I find that the sun also can make my lips very sore and dried out so I always take a lip balm with me. This year I chose the Palmers Cocoa butter because it is so rehydrating and the smell is so good (you may have notice the smell of a product is quite important to me!) but also importantly for being in the sun it also contains spf 15 so it protects your lips from the sun as well.




The sun can also be quite damaging to hair, mixed with chlorine from the pool and the everyday washing I find my hair can often feel quite dry and weak after being on holiday. My final holiday essential is the Schwarzkopf essence ultime hair mask. This stuff make my hair feel so healthy, shiny and so soft! I think it's great for stopping the damage and rehydrating your hair again.




A little duty free purchase!

In Palma airport, whilst waiting to board our plane I had a quick look around the duty free and ended up buying the Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh perfume, I've had my eye on this perfume for quite a long time and when I saw it was on offer I just couldn't resist!! I have literally fallen in love with this perfume, it smells like spring and summer, it's a fresh and floral scent which is so different to any other perfume I own. I haven't stopped wearing it! And how freakin cute is that bottle, the daisies and the colours oh my I am in love with it. It has already become one of my favourite perfumes ever!!

May Favourites

Hello, I've been discovering and loving lots of products this month so I thought I would show you my May favourites!

Firstly I have been loving my Tommy Girl perfume by Tommy Hilfiger. I got this perfume for Christmas and I haven't stopped using it since! It has a fresh fruity fragrance and I love it so much! It is also affordable as you can pick up a small bottle for £15.
 
 

 
I have been loving the MUA Lipstick in Peachy Keen, it's such a bright coral colour. Recently because summer's beginning I've loved wearing coral lips. I love that it's a matte lipstick and it's long lasting. Also, it's so affordable at only £1!
 


 
My next favourite this month has to be my Maybelline colour tattoo in the colour Eternal Gold. I have loved wearing it as either a base or worn on it's own. I love the colour and that it lasts for the whole day without creasing or wearing away.
 

 
My skincare favourite this month has to be the Body Shop Vitamin E moisturising cream, I have been loving this cream because it leaves my skin so soft and I love the feeling of having fresh and healthy skin. I just apply this cream every morning to prevent dry skin and leave my skin hydrated.
 

 
My May fashion favourite has to be this pretty floral print smock top from Primark, costing £10. I love the bright colours, they are so summery and so is the pattern it just makes me think of spring and summer! It's also really flattering and I love the fit. 
 

 
This month I have also been loving candles! My favourite candle this month has to be the Vanilla and Coconut candle from Primark it was only £2, it smells sweet and so delicious! I love the glass packaging and even the label too!
 


 
My other random favourite has to be the Starbucks Frappucinos, I bought one the other day in Sainsburys and I am so happy I discovered them! They are chilled coffee with a slight chocolate flavour and they are one of the most delicious drinks I have ever tasted!! Sorry that in the photos the bottles are empty, I didn't have the chance to buy a new bottle before I took the photos!!
 

 

 
These are products I have been loving throughout May, have you had any favourites? I love reading your suggestions!
