Beauty I Loved Overseas

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I've blogged and it's because I've been to Japan! I went for just under 2 weeks, and it was so humid and hot, the opposite of the weather where I live right now, so I thought I would share some of my favourite products I took with me that turned out to be helpful and handy.

1. Tarte Rainforest After Dark Coloured Clay Eye & Cheek Palette

I did a review of this a while back, and I mentioned how great it would be for travel, and it really was. It was so handy having all my cheek/contour products in one place, I didn't have to rummage around a heavier makeup bag for three individual products. All the powders blended nicely as well, so you don't lose out on quality. This product was just handy and easy, and the mirror is huge too! As you can see from the photo, it's very well loved.

2. Rimmel Clear Complexion Clarifying Powder

I hadn't really used this before this month, and you can see I made a big dent in the product. It set my foundation and concealer well, I didn't look oily or shiny at all and it was so humid. I'm not sure if it's that different from the Stay Matte powder I normally use from Rimmel, but I like this one anyway.

3. Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray

This was probably the one product that saved my makeup on the holiday. My makeup didn't run or look gross, it stayed put. This product was also great to just have in my bag for when I wanted to spritz my face to cool it down. It was nice to have something that was cooling and refreshing that I knew wouldn't ruin my makeup. I actually used up the entire 30 ml, and I'll definitely be repurchasing this when the weather gets hotter.

4. Matte Liquid Lipsticks

I normally love long lasting liquid lipsticks, but these two were so good for this holiday. I wanted my lips to have colour and look good, but not get super dried out and look patchy after I ate. I mentioned both of these in my May Favourites. The Manny MUA x OFRA one in Charmed is so moussy and easy to apply and went with so many looks. The Kat Von D lipstick in Lolita II is a little bit browner that the OFRA colour, and I think the formula is a little more long lasting. I loved these two lip products, and they stayed on in the heat and amount of eating and drinking I was doing, which is super impressive.

So there you go! Hope this post was interesting, I had so much fun in Japan and I was so happy I found some products that made my makeup look and stay lovely.

Au Revoir!
