I am so excited! On Friday I'll be taking a 4 hour plane journey across Europe to one of the Canary Islands, Lanzarote! This will be my first out-of-country holiday in 4 years! So I thought I'd share with you my holiday essentials! Lets start with makeup! When traveling the last thing you want taking up lots of weight in your luggage is your makeup, so I've scaled down my makeup bag to what I consider my 'essentials'. ~ Skin79 Hot Pink BB cream | Why a BB cream, because its awesome!
