Let's start with some of my favourite skincare from holiday and while I've been back home! My current favourite moisturiser is the Antipodes Rejoice Light Moisturiser which is very moisturising and nourishing so it was perfect for chilly Norway. Even though it was chilly, I still used SPF and my go to is this mini Mimtika SPF that I received in a LookFantastic box a few months ago. A number of products I've been loving in the couple of weeks since I came back include: La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water, Rodial SPF Day Cream and the RapidBrow Eyebrow Serum.
Next up a few perfumes that I've been using constantly in rotation! I only took the Ghost Sweetheart Forever perfume on holiday with me as it is a large bottle and I didn't want to weigh my bag down even more as it was SO heavy! I reviewed the Ghost perfume on the Really Ree website if you want more information.
I'm also loving the Yves Rocher Evidence perfume which is a great autumn fragrance as well as my all time favourite perfume which is Prada Infusion D'Iris - it is heaven in a bottle and for me it is so nostalgic. If you haven't tried any of these then you should definitely give them a sniff if you can.
Sticking with the beauty tools, I needed to take my Tweezerman Tweezers with me as they are so effective, tiny and adorably cute. This pair is from the spring/summer range 2016 but you might still be able to get them online somewhere.
Lastly, the primer which is the fantastic Too Faced Hangover Primer! I have been using this primer for over a year and it's still going strong as you only need a tiny amount. It doesn't irritate my skin, it helps keep my makeup in place all day and it doesn't have a silicone feel *can I get a hallelujah*.
A few more essentials and haircare products that I took on holiday with me so let's get the boring one out of the way. I only use the Sure Maximum Protection Deodorant as it's so effective and I'd definitely recommend it. Another essential is a detangling brush especially as my hair is long, thick and prone is the worst tangles. This is the finishing brush from Tangle Teezer but all of their brushes are fantastic.
The final haircare item is the Colab Dry Shampoo which is the ONLY dry shampoo that actually works on my dark hair. It is a miracle in a bottle as it dramatically reduces the oily and greasy look/feel, it doesn't leave my hair heavy or matte and it doesn't add a white or grey cast to my hair!
The final items in todays post are the products I used the most while on holiday *apart from my Bourjois Sleep Effect Foundation that I forgot to photograph...*. For the makeup, I've been loving the whole Eylure brow range, they've become my go-to products as well as my Tweezerman rose gold eyelash curler and the Real Techniques foundation sponge for foundation/powder.
While I've been loving the Antipodes moisturiser, I've been switching it up with the Nivea Sensitive Moisturiser too. Lastly, for skincare is the famous Bioderma H2O Sensibio and I have this cute tiny version which is perfect for travelling! I managed to take some of these photos just before going which I'm glad I did as I now only have a tiny amount of Bioderma left. I've actually bought at least three full size bottles of Bioderma over the past few years.
Last but not least a couple of fantastic, long-lasting lip products include the amazing Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dolce Vita which is pretty much a little stub now! I also love TheBalm Meet Matt(e) Hughes Liquid Lipstick in Reliable.
Have you tried any of these products? What beauty products have you been loving recently? What are your travel go-to products?
