Travel Make Up Bag

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with a new post in the new year! Happy (late) 2015! I just came back from my holiday break in Spain where I also "celebrated" New Years Eve (meaning: I stayed in my hotel room because I was feeling poorly!). Today I thought I'd show you what make up I took with me on my holidays. Hope you enjoy!

First of look at my cute bag! My mum's co-worker designed and made this herself and I'm absolutely in love with it. I don't know what it is but lately I've been obsessed with deer prints so this one is my new fav!

 For an even base I took my Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream with me. I just repurchased this as my old one, that I bought back in June, ran out - can't believe it actually lasted me that long. I've done a review on this here! I apply this with my ebeline makeup sponge. Next up is my new favourite concealer: the Maybelline FitMe concealer in the shade 15! This is super creamy, gives great coverage and stays put throughout the day.

I fill in my brows with the IQ Cosmetics Eyebrow Pencil in the brown shade and then go over them with the Maybelline Brow Drama in Dark Blond. I've recently dyed my brows and find that this combo works best on my now darker brows!

I took only two eyeshadows with me: a light champagne shade from GOSH, this is "01" from an old gift set that I once got from my Secret Santa. And a brown shimmery shade from essence with the name  "09 Get Ready!". I should probably bin both of them because of their expiration date - but up until now they've been fine. To make them last longer I used my Pro-Base Eye Primer from Makeup Academy (review here).

The next product is the Look by Bipa Eyeliner Liquid: I picked this up for my Halloween makeup (instagram photo here - follow me if you fancy) which it was fine for, but for an everyday cat flick it definitely isn't my favourite as it smudges easily, so I don't think I'll be repurchasing it!

I curl my lashes with the ebelin eyelash curlers and then coat them with the Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Flared Mascara (that's the german name on the product for you ;D). Sometimes I go over them again with the essence I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara for some extra drama.

To finish off I powder my face with the Real Techniques Powder Brush and Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder in "55 Beige Foncé" and slightly contour my face with my favourite bronzer MUA Mosaic Powder in "Natural Glow" (read my review here) and a brush from superdrug.

And that's all the makeup I took with me on holiday - excluded the lipsticks in my handbag, if you want to see those just let me know in the comments below! I hope you have a great day!

Also there is still some time to enter my MAC lipstick giveaway - check it out here!

Easter Holiday Traveling #4

Hello lovelies!

I hope you are all well and are enjoying the great weather. I've finally picked up some motivation to tackle the task of going through all my pictures that I took during my week in Cornwall! And believe me it's not an easy task, since I kinda went crazy with taking pictures. So without further ado here are some snapshots I took in my week in Cornwall!

Be warned: very picture-heavy post! I'm sorry in advance if it's too much!

On the first day in Cornwall we went to visit the Eden Project in St. Austell. I've seen pictures of this before, but believe me it's soo much more impressive in real life! There are two artificial Biomes that have loads of different plants and flowers from all around the world. One Biome has a tropical climate and the other one has a mediterranean. We spent nearly all day in the Eden Project as there is so much too see and explore!

I just can't get over how pretty and colorful the flowers were! Amazing!

For diner that day we had real cornish pasties by the sea front in Fowey! Just look at this view:

The next day it was raining for most of the time unfortunately, but we still decided to go and see the mysterious and beautiful Lost Gardens of Heligan!

My favourite part there was probably the "Jungle". So beautiful and a great photo opportunity!

And I've also had my first Cornish Cream Tea in the cafe! YUMMY!

We also went to see the St. Mawes Castle where you had a lovely view over the sea! But don't be fooled it was really windy and cold!

Our next day trip took us to St. Michael's Mount! The castle is situated in the sea and you can either reach it with a boat, or if the tide hasn't come in you can also walk on a stone path to the island!

As you can see the gardens were also quite unusual, just beneath the castle!

Later that day we went to see the Minack Theater which can be described with just one word: incredible! I mean just have a look at it! Standing there and looking down at the turquoise sea, I felt more like I were in Greece than in England! I actually thought I was on the set of Mamma Mia! haha

And to make this place even more special, we also got to watch "The Barefoot Poet" (he's doing a Charity project) recite some of his poems.

To finish the day off, we went to Senne Cove, one of the most western parts of Cornwall to watch the sunset! Amazing!

The next day, a thursday we decided to do a sporty program! We hired some bikes and cycled along the Camel Trail from Wadebridge to Padstow and back again - a total of 11 miles ugh It was really exhausting but we had a beautiful view from the top of the hill!

Friday we spent the whole day at the Lansallos Beach. My feet in the sand, the sound of waves in my ears, nose in a good book and my life's complete!

And to finish off this lovely day and also the holiday we went to a pub in Polperro where we had a great view into the habour while eating fish n chips!

I honestly had the best time in Cornwall and looking back at these pictures is just so wonderful! I'm so grateful that I have the opportunity to go and see so many different places in my year in England!

I really hope you enjoyed this (picture overloaded) blog post! I for sure did enjoy putting it together!

This will be my last installment for this "Easter Holiday Traveling" photo series. I hope you enjoyed it. I might do something similar in the future if you'd like me to!

In the comments below please let me know if you have ever been to any of these places before! I'd love to hear what you thought about this as well!

Have a lovely day,

xx Ann-Kathrin
