Hello! It's that time of year when everybody is tanning, dieting and preparing their bodies for a holiday, and Im doing the same! In three weeks in jetting off for a 10 day holiday to Florida, which I cannot wait for. I've had exams for so long, this is much needed break :) However, due to the cost of checking bags into the hold etc, the amount of stuff I can bring on holiday is pretty slim, so I'm really focusing on cutting down my products. So here are my favourite mini makeup samples to bring on holiday with you, instead of bringing the full sized versions!
Recently I picked up THREE copies of the July Edition of Glamour magazine, because I saw that the free gifts were from Benefit! The magazine was only £2, and you got one of the above products, worth £10 each! Anyway, I picked up two 7.5ml (0.25oz) samples of POREfessional Primer and also a mini BAD gal Lash mascara. I'll only bring one primer on holiday, of course, and also the mascara.
I took this picture to show just how tiny these two products are! They're perfectly sized for a holiday, because who uses more than this amount of primer in a fortnight?! Admittedly, I haven't used the mascara much, but at £2, including a magazine, this is perfect for going on your jollies!
Next is this adorable miniature perfume set I got last year for my birthday! It includes Givenchy, Ted Baker, Ghost, Amor Amor and Hugo Boss scents, and they're available from a lot of different stores and they come in many different sets. I'll include links to my top picks of mini sets of perfumes, nail polishes and more below, so check that out!
Here we have 3 OPI mini nail polishes, and I love them! The first is just clear varnish with silver glitter, and the last is clear with large blue glitter pieces. They're perfect to bring on holiday, because you could wear these over one colour, and it will appear completely different! For example, if you brought one full-sized blue nail polish, you could wear it plain for a few days, then with silver glitter, then with blue glitter and have 3 different looks! The middle one is opaque silver, and could be worn alone.
Finally, I have two mini Soap and Glory products. On the left is a mini S&G "The Righteous Butter", which can be used all over the body and is SO refreshing on sunburn! And on the right is a hand sanitizer, which is perfect sized for holiday. Sanitizer is so important, especially on holiday, as you really can't afford to get ill in some countries! Also, there are a LOT of germs on the plane haha, so always keep some on your person.
Links to my top picks!
Because some of the above are no longer available, etc, I am linking some different sets that you could purchase! Also, despite so much googling, I was really struggling to find mini perfume sets online, but I've seen a lot in Superdrug and Boots, so check it out there!
I'm going to post a new post soon about how to make the most of your makeup bag - what to bring and what to fling - so make sure you check that out if you're interested!
Until then, stay beautiful girls
