Travel Beauty Essentials | Summer Edition

I have recently just got back from a little sunny holiday to Tenerife. We are lucky enough to have a villa over there so it is such a relaxing, stress-free holiday. The weather was lovely but omg it was hot! 
I am one of those people who loves to make lists and be super organised when packing. It is so much less stressful when you know exactly what is going on in your life and in your bag! I have put together a little collection of my top travel beauty essentials that i take with me whenever i am going away on holiday. Sometimes packing space can be limited so i try to keep my beauty bits as light as possible! 
(The Ralph Lauren tote bag came free with a perfume)

1. Sure Maximum Protection Anti-Perspirant 
I bought this not that long ago after hearing such great things about it so i just had to try it for myself. It honestly does what i says on the packet. For the warmer weather this definitely helps with the whole sweaty betty issue. Such a fresh smell too. A good, compact size to just keep in your bag incase you feel like a little freshen up. This worked an absolute dream on holiday, and has lasted a lot longer than expected.

2. Tangle Teezer 
I take this with me pretty much everywhere! It is a life saver. I have long, thick hair, just imagine a blonde Hagrid...yep thats me! Literally the only thing that i can brush my hair with is a Tangle Teezer. It is the perfect size to just chuck in any bag that you are taking out with you. Not to mention mine is pink, how cute! 

3. Garnier Ultimate Blends 'The Sleek Perfector' Oil
Keeping with the hair theme, as well as having the long,thick hair, my hair is also very dry! Just such a great combination, i know. I use this every time i wash my hair. I will brush my hair through once i get out of the shower, then put a pump or 2 of this onto my hand and just work it through my hair, mainly focusing on the middle/ends. Works an absolute treat and also smells beautiful, fresh coconut'ty hair!

4. E45 Moisturising Lotion
I am one of those people who has to have moisturiser with me at all times. I swear by this lotion, it is a skin saviour. I use it at home and when I'm away. I have dry skin and feel a bit like a lizard sometimes and this just totally smoothes and soothes my skin. It has doubled up as after sun whilst i've been away, soothing my burnt legs, oops! 

5. Vaseline 
This little baby comes with me absolutely everywhere. Whatever bag you look in you will find a vaseline in there. Being on holiday can sometimes dry your lips up like little prunes so it is always handy to have a little TLC. This is ALWAYS an essential for me.

6. Johnsons Face Care Wipes
I have such sensitive skin so finding face wipes that don't feel like acid can be a mission. I have finally found some that i think i can deal with. These are Johnsons Face Care - Makeup Be Gone - Extra Sensitive Wipes. These are really soft and non drying and are fab for removing that stubborn makeup, even mascara! 

7. Victorias Secret 'Love Addict' Fragrance Mist 
This was realised at the beginning of the year as a new scent for Victorias Secret and it quickly become one of my favourites. It has such a sweet, summery scent to it and i love it! It is 'Wild Orchid & Blood Orange' apparently! I feel so fresh wearing it! I think its just a bonus that it looks hella cute too! 

8. Nail Varnish 
I normally take my current nail polish with me just incase i chip any nails or just need a little freshen up. In this case i went for Topshop 'Paint It On' which is a deep pink/purple colour. Not the most summery of colours but i brought a lot of black clothes away with me and they go really nicely together. 

What is your must have travel beauty essential?
