So as some of you know, I recently went on
holiday to California and did a bit of a road trip from San Francisco –
Yosemite – Death Valley – Las Vegas – Palm Springs – LA/Hollywood – Santa
Barbara then along route 1 to Monterey.
I absolutely loved it and had the best time!
Before I went I was trying to figure out
what Make-up I would wear during the day because when its really hot the last
thing I wanted was the sweaty make up running down my face look!
People often ask me what make-up I wear
when going on holiday (when I’m just on a relaxing holiday by the pool) I
started not to wear any and last time I went away I used the ‘Garnier
Ambre Solaire BB Sun Face Protection SPF30’ which worked well but looked a bit
streaky on my skin and it was supposed to blend naturally with your skin tone but
it didn’t really, it was only £9 from boots, but I found a much better product
that I will get onto!
If you are going on holiday and you do want to wear
make up to cover your birthmark or imperfection then I would use Veil Cover
Cream as it is waterproof and lasts most of the day.
So moving back onto the holiday and what make-up I
used!
I found a new product which I LOVE! It is ‘Laura
Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturiser’ in shade ‘Natural Radiance’ it says on
the on the bottle lightweight flawless coverage and it does exactly that! By no
means did it cover my birthmark but I wasn’t bothered about that I just wanted
something that contained sun protection as well as something that will make my
skin look healthy and glowing for during the day.
It
gives a natural, warm healthy glow with plenty of coverage to hide blemishes,
it lasted throughout the day without the radiant glow fading. It contains SPF 2O so it’s ideal for wearing
on holiday.
It felt good to be not wearing any make up, I felt
free!
Because I loved this product so much I also wore it
on an evening, I used it all over my face and then used ‘Young Blood Mineral
Foundation’ just over my birthmark and then blended a little bronzer all over
to give my face an even look.
It is £34 but it is definitely worth it, I will
definitely be buying it again and use it more often than just on holiday! This is
a must have item for your make-up bag!
