At Your Destination | Travel Tips

-
Welcome to my Travel Tip Series. I wanted to create a series of tips and ideas that'll suit anyone, anytime of the year, on any budget, for any length of time away on holiday.

As simple as I may be the best tip is to take notes and photos. You may think you'll remember when you get home you and shouldn't have to remember it. This doesn't have to be a typical pen and paper situation, use the notes or reminder app on your smart phone instead. I prefer the journal way, there's something about handwritten journalling. 
The same goes for photos- you can never take enough. If you feel as though you should take a photo no matter what silly reason, then do. Better then getting home and wishing you had taken more photos.

Unfortunate as it is, be careful of your money and where you keep it on you. This is so important, more so if you're in third war countries or low social economic areas. Europe for example has pickpocketsers that'll slash the bottom of a backpack or handbag and quickly grab whatever they can and run. All before you notice. Make sure your money/wallet is on you either in a money belt or on a cross body bag that sits right in front of you with a short strap. 

It also ties in with being aware of the scams in these areas. You had done your research before you left and are aware of any scams or techniques that may be employed to steal your belongings. It may be lost in the amazement and excitement of your new surroundings but it is vital. Your Government or that of the destination country will be the best place for help and advice.

Lastly, enjoy! Memories are waiting to be made, scenery to be snapped and local cuisine to be eaten!!

Innoxa Organic Brightening Eye Creme

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Benefit Benetint

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
