Recent Travels.






I mentioned on Twitter a while back that my little brother picked me up a new pair of Ray Bans and Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume at the airport on the way to Israel. I've been wishing for a pair for so long and I'm so pleased to finally have my hands on them. I have a Topshop pair which I wear a lot too, which are a bit more of a vintage style. I love wayfarers, I don't think oversized glasses really go with my "style".
I've also been after the Daisy perfume for so long, I was really glad when Chris picked up the Eau De Parfum over the Eau De Toilette because I do prefer the parfum (in general, not just with Daisy) it lasts so much longer on your skin and you only need one or two sprays for the whole day.

I packed really quickly before I left as I just wanted to escape the city and chill out, but obviously I still managed to pack my makeup bag. This is a downsized version of it, but it shows what I travel with. I got matched up and a sample of Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation today. I know in summer I should be wearing something lighter, but I like good, full coverage and something that doesn't slip off during the day. I'll let you know how I get on, I secretly hope it's a bit rubbish as it's a bit more expensive than my normal MAC and Clinique foundations.
I also bought a new Harlan Coben book, who is one of my favourite authors, and packed my Laura Mercier Fresh Fig Hand Creme and Jurlique Rose Love Balm for dry lips as well as my Optrex eye drops as my eyes get so dry!

What are your favourite travel products?

    I looove Daisy - I got some for my 18th birthday and have been using it sparingly for two years, and now I'm almost out, woe! And I looove Ray Bans - so jealous!

    I don't think I have any specific travel products, but I love the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour lip protecting stick, I take that wherever I go! And I try to keep a Garnier Eye Roll-On with me :D

    I LOVE Daisy too! i got it as a pressie a few years ago and have been wearing it ever since.
    For travelling I love Vaseline, it's such a handy multi-purpose product!

    Oh wow, as much as I love Daisy - my boyfriend really doesn't which has stopped me from purchasing it! Instead, my new signature scent will be Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf. Love the sunglasses, lucky thing!

    Love the raybans.
    So many people swear by double wear, but I personally think it's a bit like cement & can definitely look cakey. What do you think of the healthy mix, does that stay on all day? I want something for Leeds fest, currently sff isn't cutting it!

    I love the Ray Bans :) I also prefer Eau de Parfum.
    I don't really have travel essentials, I change my favourites alll the time, I just make sure I have mascara, eyeliner, vaseline, and Nivea moisturiser with me :) And a TON of books..xx

    I've never smelt the 'Daisy' perfume but I've always wanted too, might have to try and smell it in the shops as everyone goes on about how nice it is!
    & I love your Ray Bans!
