On The Go Beauty…. What’s Inside My Travel Beauty Bag

Even though I’m back to being a Jozi girl, one thing I’ve learnt from being a former Durban blogger, is how to travel smarter. I used to travel all the time (to Jozi and CT) for overnight launches and I eventually created a little on the go beauty bag. A bag that’s always packed and ready to go, with some essential travel beauty products. Since we’re heading into holiday season, I thought I’d share the contents of my travel beauty bag to give you gals some tips and advice on what I can’t travel without. This little Lou Harvey toiletry bag is the perfect travel size toiletry bag and holds a ton of products. In the past I had different toiletry bags, from ones with built in hangers (so you can hang it on a bathroom rail in your hotel room) to many, many others. I love this one because, when it’s unzipped, you can see and grab anything… no having to empty the contents of your entire bag every time you want to find something. And I mean it’s cute too so who can argue with that?! Now let me show you what’s inside… These are products that live permanently in my travel beauty…

Sunshine Tiger

We’ve really had the most amazing weather in Durban this past week! In fact, I think it’s been the best “Christmas Week” (weather wise) in ages! The sun has been shining and with two days off, I spent a lot of time by my pool – which doesn’t get used very often. I got to wear my new GAP Denim Cut-off shorts, which are so comfy – I love the frayed edges – and my Tiger print tee, which I think compliments my new crazy ombre hair colour (inspired by Jessica Alba). T-Shirt: Jay-Jays (new) | Shorts: GAP (new) | Bikini Top: Stuttafords (old), Sunglasses: Giorgio Armani (new) | Sandals: Woolworths (new) | Evil Eye Bracelet: From Greece (old) | Beaded Bracelets: From Mr Price (old) | Necklace: From my mom (very old) | Trilby Hat: Billabong (old) | Beach Bag: Lou Harvey (old) | On my Nails: CND Vinylux Desert Poppy and Sun Bleached from the Open Road Collection [signature]

What’s In My Makeup Bag

Being a beauty blogger, I get to try out loads of makeup! My favourites and the products that I carry with me, change all the time. For the moment, here’s a peek at what’s currently inside my makeup bag… These are the products I carry with me, inside my handbag. It’s my basic “touch up” stuff, and products that I like to keep on hand for a quick fix!

Lou Harvey Bags Are TOTES Amazing!

I must be living under a rock! I mean seriously, how long has it taken me to get my hands on Lou Harvey, the awesome brand of cute and eye catching bags?! Last week, I accidentally discovered the Lou Harvey factory shop in Hillcrest. I was as excited as waiting for the Tooth Fairy! I went to this kitchen supply store (I’m not even sure what it’s called), which I have been to many times before, looking for vases. I had some time to spare, so walked around. Then, BANG! Hello Lou Harvey! It was like being trapped in a candy store! Full of colourful candy in all shapes and sizes! YUM! And like candy, I wanted every flavour, every style, every colour, every shape… everything! I think I may have spent at least an hour, just deciding on what I wanted! It was all so predddddy! Now, as tough as the decision I was faced with was, they were having a sale, to make things harder for me. So there was no way I could walk out with just one item! Not that these bags are at all badly priced, but I’ve been trying very hard to save for our overseas trip next…
