I’m back, I’m back! Bet
you’ve missed me when I was on a sunbed drinking cocktails and reading
countless magazines in Mallorca- I kid, I kid. But I’m back after twelve days
in the sun, and it feels like I’ve never even left my quiet, little city. I’m
not that happy to be home because I’ve had the most amazing time on holiday and
even got a tan, but I missed my bed and the comfort of my own home so it feels
kind of ‘good’ to be home.
I was planning on buying
quite a lot of stuff whilst being on the beautiful Balearic island, but I ended
up not buying that much which my bank balance was obviously quite happy about.
I thought I’d show you anyway, since I am really happy with the bits I did buy!
Firstly, I bought an item I
was lusting after for absolute ages- a Bourjois Colour Boost crayon, in the
colour ‘Orange Punch’. Since most drugstore makeup brands are quite a bit
cheaper in Spain then they are in Belgium I was planning on picking up lots
more, but when shopping for makeup I always get so overwhelmed I never really
know what to buy. I know, I’m such a great beauty blogger! I wore this almost
every evening of my holiday and I love it so, so much. It’s quite sheer but the
clour is really buildable and feels really moisturising on the lips, and it
lasts quite a long time as well! So far it’s a winner.
I also picked up two Clarins
products I’ve been eyeing up for a while, and, to be honest I was actually
forced a little to buy because you got a free makeup bag containing two sample
if you bought two Clarins products! So I picked up the Lotus Face Oil and the
Beauty Flash Balm, two quite hyped up products. I only tried these a few times
and so far I’ve been absolutely loving both; the Lotus Face Oil smells amazing and seems to do wonders for my
oily skin, and the Beauty Flash Balm feels so fresh on the skin and makes every
base you apply after look gorgeous.
We went to Palma for a
daytrip and I just had to visit the Kiko store. I’ve never actually tried
something by Kiko before but heard that their products are great value for
money, especially their eyeshadows, so I bought three; two of their Longlasting
Stick Eyeshadows and one Water Eyeshadow. I bought their eyeshadow sticks in
the colours 06, a beautiful shimmery chocolate brown, and 07, the most gorgeous
golden colour which makes an amazing inner corner highlight. I picked up the
water eyeshadow in the shade 200 which is the most amazing gold shimmer with an
incredible pigmentation and the most amazing glitter ever- if you’re a fan of
subtle, I fear this isn’t so much for you. After picking these up I’m actually
tempted to play a little with eyeshadows, which is unheard for me so I’ll keep
you updated!
I also picked up their Dazzling
Highlighter in 02 – Gleaming Apricot. I actually only own one single
highlighter (MAC Lightscapade, I’m looking at you), so I thought it was time to
expand my collection a little bit. Their Dazzling Highlighters come in a handy
stick which you can roll up and sweep across your cheekbones, your browbone,
decolletage or anywhere else you’d like. They come in two colours, a shimmery
white one or a more subtle apricot one, which is the one I picked up. I’ve been
wearing it every day since I got it since it’s so subtle but also makes your
cheekbones look amazing and really defined. It’s really creamy and easy to
blend in with your fingers, and also smells amaaaaazing!
So that’s all I picked up
beauty-wise in Mallorca. I also bought a little leather satchel bag at a market
in Son Servera and a beautiful butterfly ring in the most precious little
hand-made jewellery store in Cala Bona, which is the little village we stayed
in located at the west coast of Mallorca.
I’m planning on doing a holiday essentials post soon,
including everything I used every single day on my holiday and some tips for
travelling light RE: makeup and skincare. I also might do a little holiday
diary, sop lease let me know in the comments if you would like to see that!
Sounds like you had a great holiday! I love buying things when I'm away, I always feel a lot less guilty about it for some reason :)xo
