IM BACK! Mini Review: Must Have Holiday Items + more

Hi all! hope your all having a great day,
as you may know, im back from holiday now, on the last days it was raining -.-
but thats life, i had a break nothing more nothing less.
Im greatful for it, but it would have been so much better somewhere like Hawaii or something.
Anyways, I'm gonna show you all 5 of my must haves, and 5 'just for fun items' i took with me.

-Must haves-


1. Tea Tree Soap 2% (Vegetable based + natural) from my workplace,
I suffer with what im led to believe is Keratosis pilaris, which i have on my face which is the more rare type
i only noticed my skin changing feb time, when my mother was diagnosed with a skin condition she couldnt remember the name of.
and a month or two after i got the same thing, on my face like hers, it's not acne. although some people may assume KP is acne
KP comes from an excessive form of keratin in the skin (basically the building blocks to good hair, skin and nails).
It's heredatry, so yay to my future kids lol!
It doesnt go away, and im using a Tea tree soap and exfoliating every 2 or 3 days (because im aware of over doing it).
Exfoliating has seen an improvement in my mums face.
and also sort of dying down mine. although they are still there more spread out tho.

I throughly recomend this to anyone whos face is blemmishy or suffers with KP.
This is a natural, cheap soap which has more Tea tree in it than any other soap on the market.
so more power to us :D

also i took Barry M nail paint in Coral! which is a gorgeous poppy colour which suits olive, tanned, and deep skins so well.
Im olive (my mother is a dutch blood italian and all kinds of things mix lol) so i'm olive, although not like the actual fruit :')
it really looks stunning, its very cheap too!

Also i took Calypso Deep Tan bronzing oil which has SPF 30+
I NEVER EVER EVER use spf under 30 unless its winter ect, because no matter how cloudy or frosty it is, theres uva rays.
so imagine when its actually real hot weather, you need more protection!
:D i love this oil because its light, not streaky, gives u a beautiful glow then a tan.
and is very buildable. and cost me only £4! bargain

the next product i took was STILA oil free sheer colour tinted moisturizer which is supposodly has spf 30
but the product itself doesnt have the logo on the front
but its meant to be a different packaging.
It's a great tinted colour, the shade i got was medium because theres no stila counter anywhere near me. so i had to buy online
and medium light is a very universal colour for me,
because its not too light, and its not dark,
its just a 'pale light tan' and blends into my complexion very well.
has never broken me out and provides me with the best 'natural look' i could ever hope for.

last but not least out of my musts i brang My hair care nutrients by life plan.
why? well my hairs in bad condition and has split ends almost everywhere you see.
i very rarely hot style my hair now unless i have to.
and i am doing a treatment every 3 weeks and washing my hair less (as water damages the cuticle)
i am also using a splitender by talavera which is working well.
these tablets, have lots of nutrients inside.
such as biotin which is a common ingredient in most hair suppliments
and others.
Ive seen a growth in my hair but that could be down to absolute anything.
I stopped taking sea kelp suppliments from work.
because these have enough iodine in it to protect my thyroid in case of another biohazard event regarding japan's disaster.

Other Fun items:

In my other pic, i brought with me my
Nude heel platforms

Parissa Wax strips which are super super nice! best strips ive ever used

NO7 starry eyes a beautiful gift i got for my bday last year,
i use the gold colour a lot! its so pretty!

My Green Opium looking Shisha or (Shesha, sheesha, hookah) whatever people call it ;D
i'm slowly getting addicted to smoking non tabbacco soex the charcoal really calms down my breathing and i usually sleep well that night i smoke.

and my insence sticks, i brought the stubby versions with me but they're the same brand and scent.
the smells gorgeous and my mother loves it!

i hope you have all enjoyed this post

  3. Oh wow-- the TTO soap sounds awesome! I have a bit of KP on my left bicep, to I might just get a TTO product the next time I'm picking up all the other oils for my hair and such. C:

    And those puumppss~. <33

    As for me, when I'm going on vacay, I cannot leave without my moisturizer/lotion. I'm big on full body moisturizing after I shower, so I'll feel 'dry' if I don't do it. Haha. Besides that, I'd say my big 'fashionable' shawl is something I always bring when traveling: I can use it as part of my outfit (as a 'headband', a belt, a scarf, etc.) but, more importantly, if I'm going by plane, it does well as a makeshift blanket about my shoulders.

    Awesome post~.
