My summer toiletry bag ☼

This summer I will be spending a couple weeks in Italy and France which means I get to pack. Although I hate packing clothes, for some strange reason, I love packing my beauty products. My plan is to share all my packing with you starting with my toiletries.

This is the wash bag,from Primark, that I will be taking on the trip. It's my go to bag because its big, about A5 size, waterproof and it's quite cute as well. 


I also carry another bag inside that. I use this banana bag from H&M to store all my shower and face wash iteams so that I can take this into the shower with out getting any of my other stuff wet. It also means that I'm not rummaging through a big bag when I am in a hurry. 


For body wash I am using the body shops pink grapefruit shower gel. I got this in a little travel size set with a body butter, which I'm also taking, and a body scrub. The body butter is going in my pink bag where as the shower gel is going into my banana bag because I will be taking this into the shower.  I am not taking the scrub because you don't want to exfoliate your tan away.This is by far one of my favorite scents. The body shop pink grapefruit range smells so good and its also a very cute dusty rose colour. 


Since I am traveling my euro tunnel I have no liquid limit. This means that I can carry my full size face wash and moistener. I am just taking the neutragina pink grapefruit face wash and oil free moisteriser. The face wash is quite good for travel because the pump twists to lock closed meaning that you can avoid any spillages. 


Next in the banana bag is my razor. I am not picky when it comes to razors and i just choose this because of the pretty colour. I only use my razor to shave my armpits and any regrowth on my legs. This particular razor is scented which I don't really like because I feel like it might irritate my skin and its not the nicest of smells. I am awful at describing scents so the best I  can do is compare it to detergent. Apart from my tooth brush and tooth paste that is everything that is in my banana bag. I like to keep this bag in the bathroom for about a week before the trip and that way if I use something from the bathroom that's not in the bag I know I forgot to pack it. 


The body spray I'm taking is Butterfly by Limited collection. I choose this because its the most slender bottle that will fit easily in my bag. It is also a very nice fresh smell. It quite a common smell so I am sure you would have smelt something similar to it. I am bringing a body spray instead of a perfume because in the summerI feel a body spray is more refreshing. 


I am not taking a travel size deodorant instead I am taking the new compressed cans because they are smaller but they still have the same amount of product which is convenient for traveling when its hot. 



I have a small bottle of kids sun screen. I have a kids bottle because I have sensitive skin and I find sunscreen to be very irritant on skin. This is also ideal for the summer as it's water (sea,pool and sweat) resistant. 



Picking my nail varnishes was so hard but what I did was split all my nail varnishes into different categories like pink, blue, glitter, etc. and then pick one polish from each category. These are the colours I choose. For nail care I also packed a nail file, nail clipper and nail varnish remover pads. 


I also have some baby wipes. I have this instead of make up wipes because it has a clip lid so the wipes don't try out. The last little things that I have are a hair brush, hair bobbles, lip balm, cotton buds and cotton pads. 

That's everything I will be bring. Let me know if I have forgot something and also in the comments tell what three items you would take to a desert Island. :) Bye x

Guess who's back ?

Not slim shady, sorry. You may have noticed that I have been absent for a while now and I do want to apologise for not letting you know about this. I was just not very happy with the content and layout of my blog. My blog is suppose to be my little corner where I can convey any message or information and I wasn't happy with the message I was conveying. This is why I took some time out to change my blog a bit. Although to you it may look like I have given up, I haven't. I just took some time out to do some behind the scene work and I am back up and running.  From now on I hope to post content that is entertaining, informative and full of personality. This does mean, however, that I will have no uploading schedule. I feel that my posts became forced due to the fact that I felt that I had to post something. I felt that I needed something to write about and it wasn't always something I was passionate about. Last thing that I wanted to mention is that I have deleted all my old posts. The plan is to get rid of the rubbish ones and reupload edited versions of the acceptable posts sometime in the near future. 

Thank you for putting up with me and from today I hope to upload posts that I am proud of and you enjoy
