Oh hi, remember me? I was planning to get posts written up and scheduled to be published for when I was on holiday, but I never got round to doing it. I arrived back from Mexico last Tuesday and the jet lag is real. Even now, we all still feel so knackered and deflated but we're getting there and we'll be back to normal soon (hopefully)!
I don't know if it's just me, but does anyone else take waaay too many clothes on holiday and never end up wearing half of them? Well, this time I was actually wise and planned my outfits before packing my suitcase and I actually wore every bit of clothing that I packed. Shock. Little did I know that I weren't that smart as I packed way too many toiletries. I didn't use half as many products as I thought I would. Oh and I packed eyeshadow brushes but no eyeshadow palettes... I'll allow you to laugh.
What I actually used:
Of course I used suncream and aftersun. I actually went through a whole bottle of aftersun and a whole bottle and a half of suncream - I burn easy, ok? I'm glad I took an extra bottle of each though. I also took the Australian Gold sunscreen bronzer tanning spray and it did help me get a bit of colour. Besides using my shampoo and conditioner, dry shampoo was my best friend. It made shoving up my hair so much easier. Along with that, I also used my anti-humidity spray by Lee Stafford. He's an amazing guy. Mexico was insanely humid and it made my hair go so frizzy and poofy and this little product worked wonders.
To keep my skin hydrated, I brought along my coconut body butter and my Nu Skin moisture mist. The moisture mist is amazing. If my hair was dry, I simply spray the mist in my hair throughout the day and it also helps to avoid swelling of my feet in the heat. If like me, you don't do too well in the heat, it's a great product to carry around with you and cool yourself down with. My hands and feet always seem to be quite dry, nevermind being in 40 degree heat abroad. So I brought my hand cream with me and applied it on my feet as well as my hands.
The mosquitos were in full force when we went, so I took two cans of the good ol' jungle formula. It did work but I did get bitten a few times but what do you expect? I was in the jungle part of Mexico.
Have you been on holiday recently? Are there any products you wish you had taken?

Ohh I really want to try Nu Skin products! Would you recommend them?
ReplyDeleteYes definitely! They've never let me down x
DeleteAftersun was essential for me when I went to Mexico! The sun is literally burning! x
ReplyDeleteOh god yes, the rays were so powerful x
DeleteThese are definitely some of the best products to take to Mexico - especially the Mosquito spray! I also used a lot of suncream when I went and aftersun, the sun in Mexico is intense x
ReplyDeleteYes it was! So glad I took enough haha x
DeleteI always take half my life with me when going on holiday and barely use any of it, you always feel like you need it all don't you! You can't go wrong with a good body butter though x

Yeah I know! I think, omg what if I get there and I never brought 'this and that' etc. I'd be so stressed haha x
DeleteSome of these products look great, gonna check if they're cruelty-free! 🌸✨

I’ve never tried the anti humidity spray but I’m curious to see if it would work for me! Dry shampoo is my best friend on holiday xx
