Bank holiday weekend typically brings out the campers, as it is a time where most parents aren't working long hours and it gives the family time to relax and enjoy eachother's company whilst experiencing everything nature can bring you. I was fortunate to actually get a small break over this weekend and went away camping with a few friends and family members. As it's camping you either usually want something light on your face, or nothing at all. Here is my camping beauty menu with miniature reviews to go along. This would probably also work well if you're just getting into makeup and want a really natural look.
THE BASE // AVON CLEARSKIN TINTED MOISTURIZER
For the base I wanted something really light and easy to apply. I decided to go for my tinted moisturizer which I have been loving over the summer holidays. I did a full review of this over on the 'My summer face' post. The bonus about this product is that it was sort of a 2 in one product which meant I didn't have to pack loads of different products minimizing my packing. The moisturizing properties of this product are amazing. My skin felt revitalized and also was super soft the following day. The best way to apply this is with your hands, however a beauty sponge such as the real techniques one will also work well. This product is also really easy to build up whilst looking natural, so if you have a lot of redness it works well on it.
THE CONCEALER // COLLECTION LASTING PERFECTION CONCEALER
This concealer is a massive cult favourite among many bargain beauty bloggers and it's easy to see why. It is a little tube of concealing miracle. I get a lot of redness around my nose and black circles due to lack of sleep no thanks to the late night antics (if you call card games and a few ciders 'antics') this covers them up no problem meaning I look like i've had a full nights sleep. It's so easy to blend as well, I use my fingers to apply this product as well as the little doe-foot applicator. It's staying power is amazing as well, with all the hard work such as tent-putting-up-and-down and walking around a very windy seaside town and I didn't even need to top up!. On very rare days where my skin is looking extra good I tend to brave it and wear this without any sort of base product.
THE LASHES // MAYBELLINE BIG EYES DUAL-ENDED MASCARA
Another 2 birds with 1 stone product. I've never been one for wearing mascara on my bottom lashes but since giving this mascara a try after a bit of an impulse buy I can't get enough of it! The bottom brush (black lid) is just the perfect size to give your bottom lashes enough definition to open your eyes up and make you look more awake. And the top brush (pink lid) again, the perfect size to give enough definition to the top lids. The mascara really opens your eyes up, giving you a more awake look. The formulation is great as well, considering i've tried a few maybelline mascaras and they typically clump up on my lashes, this is one that hasn't. This mascara has become a staple in my makeup bag now and it has taken over my love for the Lancome hypnose star mascara. Definitely a repurchase until something better comes on the market!
THE LIPS // NIVEA LIP BLUEBERRY LIP BUTTER
In short: BEST LIP BALM EVER!
Goodbye chapped lips!
