What's In My Travel Toiletries Bag? (Stockholm 2019)

I thought I would show you what's in my travel toiletries bag, now just so you are aware I really struggle to pack lightly. When I travel I try and use up as many miniature/samples that I receive in subscription boxes, there are a few items that I have bought for this trip such as shampoo and face wash.

The bag is an old bag, I think it's from Boots or Superdrug.

My medication: Topamax® and Levothyroxine.

I used an old pouch that had eyebrow razors in to store some cotton pads and ear buds.

Hair products:

• Charles Worthington ColourPlex Protecting Blonde Shampoo
• Charles Worthington ColourPlex Protecting Blonde Conditioner
• Percy & Reed Reassuringly Firm Session Hold Hairspray
• TRESemmé Heat Defence
• Batiste Dry Shampoo in Tropical

You may notice there isn't a hair brush, that's in my travel carry on which you will see a blog post coming soon on that.

Oral care:

• Listerine Stay White Mouthwash
• Colgate Max White Toothpaste
• Colgate Toothbrush

Eye care:

• ReNu contact lense solution
• Waldo Vitamin contact lenses
• Contact lense case

I use daily contact lenses but I carry contact lenses case and solution just incase they feel funny when I put them in.

Bodycare:

• Nivea Black & White Roll On
• Gillette Venus Travel Razor
• Soap & Glory Sugar Crush™ Body Scrub
• Soap & Glory Sugar Crush™ Shower Gel
• Soap & Glory Sugar Crush™ Body Butter

Skincare:

• Sanctuary Spa Foaming Micellar Cleansing Water
• BalanceMe Congested Skin Serum
• Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanse & Polish & Muslin Cloths
• Liz Earle Eyebright™ Soothing Eye Lotion
• Adex™ Gel

When I was taking photos I had forgot to put Blistex® Intensive Moisturiser.

REVIEW: Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer

I love wearing eyeshadow but it always clings in my creases within a few hours because my eyelids get oily so thought I would put this primer to the test especially as I saw it on Lily Pebbles blog ages ago so thought why not?

CLAIMS:

• Instantly smoothes and preps lids
• Wear it alone or under any eye shadow
• Smudge-proof
• Wears up to seven hours
• Say goodbye to lines and wrinkles

Daily Morning Skincare Routine 2018 #Blogmas2018

During 2018 I have put more focus and effort into my skincare than I have ever done so thought I would share with my readers my daily morning skincare routine.

FOTD & OOTD: Simply Claire's Salon Christmas Fayre #Blogmas2018

I don't do many fashion blog posts and really want to get into them a little more so thought I would show you an outfit that I wore to Simply Claire's Christmas Fayre that I had a stand at for my business Maude & Noah plus also the makeup I worn in which one of the products I am actually doing first impressions on for a blog post.

I just want to say that I am not a professional makeup artist, hairdresser, nail technician or stylist, this is all self taught (kind of- explanation in a blog post coming up).

GIVEAWAY: Christmas 2018 #Blogmas2018

To kick off Blogmas I have put together a Christmas giveaway, giving away a few of my favourite products plus a few interesting products that I am testing out myself (you get new versions).

WHAT'S IN THE GIVEAWAY:

FOTD & OOTD: Jacinda's Baby Shower

I wanted to do a few fashion posts so thought I would show my outfit for Jacinda's baby shower plus my face and hair products that I used. I am not a pro makeup artist, nail technician or stylist so bare with me if you think something is wrong. I have also linked everything to the relevant areas if they are still available.
