Going anywhere for your Christmas vacay? Lucky you!

Make sure you are following regulations and only carrying travel sized tubes and tubs of your makeup. We don't want any of your stuff being confiscated at customs. 

I've recently used up my Bobbi Brown makeup base protector and switched to a La Roche-Posay product. It's a more pocket friendly option but one that is also more fluid yet has a ultra light and matt finish I find more agreeable than Bobbi Brown's. This had been my second Bobbi Brown tube, but think I'm a convert now. 

People - mostly Europeans - find it strange that SPF 50s even exist. Why are you so afraid from the sun, they ask. Er, no, I enjoy the sun, very much, but being burnt hurt like hell, looks like hell and it's not healthy to be baking until your skin resembles a brown paper bag? Trust me, the sun Down Under stings. And I don't look well with blotchy skin. 

My carry on from a recent one-week trip. Travelling light is travelling easy.
