Bienvenidos from Spain! If you follow me on Instagram you
may have seen I’m currently on holiday in Spain. As you know, every
time I go away I like to share the skincare bits I’ve managed to bring with me.
But as each time I go away, my skincare routine grows more complex, requiring more
products, knowing what to bring also becomes slightly trickier – especially when
you factor in liquid restrictions. For this trip, I was travelling out of Gatwick,
which as I’ve mentioned before, allow for bigger bags meaning more product
allowance!
Everything I brought
v The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10%
- I tried
this acid for the first time late last year, but after overdoing it a little
bit (and peeling a lot), I decided to give this a break. About a week before I came
to Spain, I started using it again to see if it would really make a difference
in my skin texture and discolouration. As such, I knew I had to bring it with me
if I wanted to give it a real chance.
v Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Serum
- I don’t
know where I would be without this serum that has consistently kept my face
hydrated, smooth and nourished for months. Before I even considered products to
bring with me, this was already on the list.
v Fresh Rose Floral Toner
- Another
product that had already made the list before there even was one. I even made
the point of ordering the smaller travel size so that I could bring it with me.
However, I received this one as a free gift with a Fresh purchase.
v Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Firming Serum
- My Rose
Deep Hydration Face Serum had been feeling a little light recently so I brought
this sample to use as a backup in case my other serum finished during the trip.
I also thought it would be a good chance for me to give this serum a second
chance.
v Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Eye Concentrate
- My Q10
Plus C Anti-Wrinkle + Energy Eye Cream was literally on its last legs (I only
managed an extra two days of usage before it ran out), so I brought this sample
along to tide me over and to save me to spending money on other products. I’ve
been really enjoying using this eye cream and am considering purchasing the
full size.
v Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream
- Even
though I wasn’t the biggest fan back when I tried this face cream a while ago, I
brought this sample along because it was small enough to fit. Since I’ve been
using for the last couple of days I’ve completely fallen in love it.
v Fresh Seaberry Skin Nutrition Cleansing Oil
- I brought
this with me because I was going to be bringing my makeup, but I actually forgot
to bring any with me… However, I’ve been double cleansing anyway in the hope to
help keep my skin sane.
v Fresh Soy Face Cleanser
- I’ve
been using the Clean & Clear Advantage Spot Control Daily Wash for the last
couple of months and thought I’d be able to find a travel size one for this
trip. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find one anywhere, so I brought this cleanser
with me instead.
v Fresh Rose Face Mask
- A travel
essential that literally comes with me EVERYWHERE, there was no way I was going
to come without these trusty samples.
v Nivea Q10 Plus C Anti-Wrinkle + Energy Eye Cream
- You
know how much I love this eye cream. It was really close to finishing (as
mentioned above), but because I had been spending a lot of money right before
this trip, I didn’t want to buy another one. While I do miss using this, I’m
really liking the replacement eye cream I’ve been using in its place.
v Blue Magic Tea Tree Oil Leave-In Conditioner
- Okay,
so this isn’t skincare exactly but it still counts as a liquid. I always travel
with this leave-in conditioner because it’s great for my hair and helps keep it
really moisturised and nourished, and means I don’t need to bring all five of
my hair products.
v Paltas B.K.C. Leave-In Conditioning Spray
- Another
hair product that I always travel with, I love this conditioning spray because
it’s easy to use on-the-go and makes doing my hair take no time.
Next week, I’m sharing my holiday morning and
nighttime routine, so check back then to find out all the details.
