Makeup Monday- minimise your holiday makeup

Whether you're going away for a weekend or a week, packing for a holiday can be tricky and every little bit adds up quite quickly for heavy luggage! 

Here's a quick packing guide for holiday makeup:

From left to right: 

1. Blush- Arbonne blush in Blossom because it works as a blush or bronzer. 

2. Tinted moisturiser- Dermalogica Ultra Sensitive Tint SPF 30- it has a high broad  factor sun protection and gives skin a healthy glow. 

3. Eyelash Curler- Tweezerman makes a good curler & it comes with extra inserts. 

4. Makeup Brushes- Victoria's Secret created this great travel pack with blusher brush, two eyeshadow brushes for contouring and an eyeliner brush. 

5. Liquid Liner- MAC liners work in any climate and add definition and enhance the eye for a day or evening look. 

6. Mascara- MAC prep + prime lash and mascara can be used to create a natural or glamourous look. 

7. Eyebrows- Sleek make a great eyebrow travel kit that contains a gel, powder, two mini brushes & tweezer. This combination keeps brows tidy and adds definition for all occasions. 

8. Multipurpose- MAC lustre drops can be used to boost foundation, add a glow to cheeks & eyes, or brighten dark circles. This multipurpose product is a great travel companion. 

I always have lippy in my bag, so haven't added this to the packing list but this picture shows a look that can take you from day to night on holiday with 10 simple items. I always keep a light 'daytime' colour and darker 'evening' lipstick in my bag for a quick day to evening change.

Makeup Monday- Arbonne Lipstick

I was introduced to Arbonne products a few years ago and was really impressed by a few of their lip care products.  I love their lipstick, lip liner and lip gloss, also known as lip polish. They are long wearing, smudge resistant and condition and hydrate the lips, so when they wear off your lips are still soft.  

Lip liners come in six shades including red, neutral browns, deep red, a soft pink and ginger colour.  They come in the form of a creamy liner with a twist top, so the liners are easy and convenient to use on the go. The key ingredients in these products are vitamin E and hyaluronic acid to keep lips soft and hydrated.  Use lip liner to define the lip and enhance the colour of lip polish or lipstick. 

Lip polishes are available in seven popular colours such as clear, nude, coral, pink, warm tan, burgundy, and a shimmery pearl.  They contain vitamins A and E to nourish the lips, polypeptides to prevent ageing, and safflower oil to moisturise and maintain shine without a sticky finish. The polishes have a built in sponge applicator for easy application and minimise product waste. 

Lipsticks come in fourteen shades offering several neutral tones, pinks, coral, deep and bright reds.  They are long wearing and because of the mango butter base they glide on smoothly for an even coverage.  Aloe vera and vitamins A, E and C condition the lips and keep them hydrated which prevents the flaky and shrivelled look of dry lips. Lipstick can be worn on its own or as part of a layered affect with lip liner and gloss to enhance the long lasting result. 

Arbonne products can be purchased from stockists or independent consultants.  For your nearest stockist or for more information visit www.arbonneinternational.co.uk
