“Paris is always a good idea” – Audrey Hepburn
I was lucky enough to
spend the second week of August at Disneyland Paris (my absolute favourite
place in the world!) If you’re reading this from France, or you happened to be
in France this month, you’ll know that it was so hot! But of course I didn’t go
without my stash of makeup goodies and beauty products, and making sure those
goodies stayed in place all day under the heat was something I made a priority
during my holiday.
This inspired me to write
this blog post, because although the summer is coming to a close, I know a lot
of you would have (or are yet to go on) you’re holiday or summer days out, and
if you’re anything like me, you want assurance that you’re makeup will stay on
all day no matter what the weather maybe doing! I was pretty much wearing
makeup all day, every day and I was pretty impressed with the staying power of
my makeup, so I wanted to show you guys everything I brought along with me!
Products that I took to Paris with me:
Nars All Day Luminous Weightless
Foundation: This is a
relatively new foundation that I’ve been trying out, as I wanted to try
something new and something that would last on my skin all day. I have
extremely oily skin that tends to look a bit sweaty in the hot weather, so this
foundation worked miracles on me during my trip, staying in place all day! By
the end of the day my skin barely needed any touching up and left a nice glow
to the skin (not oily in the slightest!) one girl who even worked at the park
complimented my foundation and asked me what I was wearing! I have previously
written a full length blog post on my first impressions of this foundation and
will be writing a follow up on my thoughts once I’ve finished the bottle, so if
you want to have a read of my first impressions feel free to do so.
Mac Pro Longwear Concealer: If you’ve been reading my blog for a while now you’ll
know that the Mac Pro Longwear Concealer is my holy grail concealer and I can’t
see myself using another concealer for a very long time! So naturally I had to
bring this along with me. Like the Nars foundation it didn’t move under the
heat and kept my complexion looking completely flawless. The creamy application
also meant that if I was in a rush to go anywhere I could blend this in quite
quickly!
Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray: Setting sprays have become a must for me recently,
mainly because they really are a life saver! There’s so many different setting
sprays out there and I want to try them all, but recently I’ve been loving my
trusty Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray. It does what it says on the
bottle, it sets the makeup after application, making it last all day (even
under the summer heat!) Pairing this with my Nars foundation it’s a match made
in heaven. I also carried this around Disneyland in my bag so I could sprtiz
this throughout the day whenever I needed a little touch up.
Kerastase Nutritive Oleo-Relax Serum: My hair can become quite intolerant under the heat, and
so I wanted a serum that would stop it from getting so frizzy and clean up any
unruly hairs. This serum has been a massive favourite of mine for years now, so
naturally I had to pack this stuff! It completely smoothes out my hair and
helps to keep the style of it in place all day. If you’ve got frizzy or
rebellious hair it’s definitely worth a try!
So those were a couple of
my theme park must haves that I brought along with me to Disneyland Paris
(there was so many more!) I had an amazing time and I’m definitely having
withdrawal symptoms! If you enjoyed this post please let me know, and let me
know if you’ve tried any of these products and what you think of them!
Thanks for reading!
