Duty Free Goodies

I recently went to Egypt for a few days and being a devout lipstick lover and YSL admirer I couldn't leave Gatwick Duty Free with at least one product. In fact I got two! I feel quite proud of myself that I refrained from buying everything. My mother had to stop me buying another two lipsticks from Chanel lol. 

Rouge Pur Couture in 17 Rose Dahlia & Rouge Pur Couture Vernis A Levres in 13 Rose Tempura

Isn't YSL packaging just divine?! I have a weakness for gold and YSL's packaging just tick all boxes for me. First off, I want to start off by saying that although I really want to adore the YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick, the consistency of it doesn't win me over. But Rouge Pur Couture, I love Rouge Pur Couture. Although it's my first one, it definitely won't be the last! I've always wanted the YSL Glossy Stain as soon as I heard of it but the price always prolonged my purchase. I'm a big fan of lip stains as they are long wearing and means that if I smooch The Boy then it won't transfer onto him! So it was only practical for me to get the Glossy Stain ;)

These are definitely going to be out on my make up table on display. Just looking at them makes my heart beats faster and brings a smile to my face. 


Being the YSL lover that I am, I couldn't resist including one of my prized possesions...

On a side note, I cannot believe how much the Arty ring has gone up in price since I bought it, which is about nearly 2 years ago! What an investment! Who needs stocks and shares when you can invest in an Arty ring ;) 


And here's a snippet of me basking in the sun in Egypt! 

I miss it already!

Is there any YSL products you love?

Inside my travel toiletries bag

I'm going Egypt this Sunday and thought I share with you what I'll be taking with me. I'm so excited for the long weekend break - although kind of gutted that I will be missing out on the Queen's Jubilee.

I'm quite surprised and pleased with myself that, that's all the make up I'm taking. Mascara, eyelash curlers, Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream and a few lipstains. I got three different types of sumblock going on: face, body and lips! Am I the only one who find baby wipes an essential for the summer? I always have a pack in my bag on hotter days so I can cool myself down it them and de-ick myself from that sticky 'I NEED A SHOWER' moment.

Don't you love my toiletries bag? I love this because it's clear and easy to clean. and obviously because it's Hello Kitty! haha

And of course an easy summer read is essential! I've read The (im)perfect girlfriend from Lucy-Ann Holmes before and really enjoyed it. So hopefully this would be the same too!

Summer reading and tanning is just one of my favourite things to do on holiday. Make sure to slather the sunblock! Or in my case sunblock(s) haha. You don't wanna come back a lobster now do you? ;D

Are you going on holiday this summer or celebrating the Queen's Jubilee?
