Barcelona! Pt. 2 Makeup, Accessories and What I'll be taking with me!

So here we go for Part 2! I am just gonna jump straight in with Accessories (this includes Jewellery, sunglasses, things like that :P).

Sunglasses & Waterproof Bag :D
I have a lot of different pairs of sunnies but I think that these 3 are all so different they can rise to every style and occasion :) It just so happens that all of these are from Primark, as is the Waterproof Bag-Which I am so in love with!
It's made out of that weird soft jelly material (not like the weird kids' shoes :L) and I simply love the colour and everything, think it'll be great for holding my phone etc in when we go to the beach :)

Various Hair Clips, Necklaces etc.
 I think this is, like the sunglasses, a good mix of different styles and finishes. Yes most of it is Pink, but hey! What's wrong with adding touches of pink through your life?? :P

My Rings :)
 Here's a close up of the rings I was thinking of taking. I know Ed won't be overly happy of me taking more than one ring (the one we're promised to each other with) but I feel like these aren't fussy nor will they get caught or snag on anything. He should be proud as I normally have MASSIVE rings with me :P




 Now, for some bags...


Seeing as we're only taking Hand Luggage any bags I take need to be able to roll and fit into my carry-on (shown below). I think the Gaga Canvas bag (also from Primark, omg D:) will be easily stored away in my flight bag and also will be able to fit quite a bit in it, if needed!

I was also pondering on taking this Ed Hardy Bag (I can always shove knickers or something in it in my luggage) as I have actually taken this on practically every holiday I go on, it's useful as it's actually made of that cool lunch box type material and therefore you can shove a bottle of water in it and it won't go warm (well...too quickly anyway :P).


Lastly, my (ALSO PRIMARK :L) Rucksack-y type bag. I really like this bag as it's cute, made of very thin material so folds to very small and yet can carry and hold so much! -Love this :P




But, I shall have to discuss all of this with Ed...and I am pretty sure he'll just say the first Gaga bag and pool party clutch thingy... >.<







ONTO MAKEUP! (and a bit of skincare...)
Facial Products
Now, one thing that is hindering me slightly here, is that every has to be less than 100ml-due to us being cheapos and not wanting to pay £60 to put luggage in the hold :P I've decided that Tinted Moisturisers, Good Powders and a strong concealing kit are all I need...plus a bit of colorstay for a hot night out ;)
Pictured above (starting from very top and working clockwise) is Aveda's Mineral Tinted Moisturiser (my most favourite tinted moisturiser EVER!), Benefit's You Rebel-for beachy days only as it has a good SPF and little coverage...any pictures will be from far away and I can always mix a tad bit of colorstay to up the coverage if I need. Next up is Tarte's Amazonian BB Cream I WISH I HAD BOUGHT THE BIG ONE!!! I LOVE this :'( May have to see if I can buy one on eBay before I leave :P, Benefit's Perk Up Artist Mini Concealing Kit is up next! (containing a Bright Eyes, Lemon Aid & Boi-ing), Benefit's Hello Flawless Powder (though I'll probably be preferring my Green People Mineral Foundation Powder...). Revlon Colorstay (for oily skin...of course ;) ), M&S' Tinted Moisturiser (this is actually great!) and lastly, Boots' Skin Clear Range's Mattifying Lotion (no oil is escaping with a splodge of this baby :P).
Next up-COLOUR!
Colour Products
As it's going to be a beachy, night timey kind of holiday-I've decided to embrace the glow and go for softer creams that are highly pigmented. So, here we go (working from Top Left) Ted Baker Lip Balms (recieved as gift at Christmas)-these are actually really nicely pigmented and not overly balmy, I like them a lot. With that is sat a Rimmel Apocolips Lip Laquer (in Stellar) -This is obvs a matte lip colour and I thought that if I wanted to switch it up, this would be bright and bold enough to do it with! After that I have a Jordana lipgloss thingy which is just a gorgeous coral-ey orange, L'oreal Glam Shine lipgloss in "everlasting beige" in case I want a more nude lip and then all the Revlon Lip Butters I own (Cotton Candy , Peach Parfait & Candy Apple-I would buy more but I can't see them being used as I already own soo many different lip products :/). Benefit's Fine One One Cheek Color stick (this is such a gorgeous coral-ey peach colour and just Perfect for the beach :') Then we have a Revlon Photoready Cream Blush thing (not totally sure what they call it, nor the name of the colour) but this is just like a MAC Cream Blush-just a lot cheaper! Then, lastly, a Stila convertible colour in Gladiola (a true, bright orange that is very pigmented and lasts all day-really nice and glowey too...but is quite thick and slightly waxey so be warned!).


Moving onto EYE Products...

EYE-type Products
I've literally dreamt of Silver/Ice coloured bases with SPLASHES of Bright colours over the top! I now also have the Sleek Ultra Mattes V1 (Brights-Not Pictured) and plan on taking that too. Above there's the snapshots palette (left) and the Lagoon palette (right). In the middle I have a Maybelline Color Tattoo in the colour - , Benefit's Foiled Creaseless Cream (yes, it's a mini one!) and MAC's Bare Study Paint Pot as a more nudey base. I then have decided on Benefit's They're Real as the BEST mascara to take as not only can I get intense and dramatic looks out of it-but Waterproof ones too! (they say They're Real is "Water Flexible" but, yah, it's waterproof :P). I then also thought that, LOOK's Flirty Flick Liquid Liner is perfect too! This DOES NOT BUDGE!!! It's crazy! Love It XD. Lastly, I added MUA's Undress me too Palette (when packing) as I thought it's just perfect for shimmerey soft nudes if I feel like doing that one day :D
Everything in Bags :')
All my Clothes that fit in my Suitcase just thrown on my bed! haha, it all fits Thank GOD! :D
So that's it! All packed up and ready to rumble!! I am so excited as there's a massive long list of things to do and places to see! If you didn't see part 1 of this post all my clothes you can here:

I hope the weather's nice while we're away but I can't lie I am soooo looking forward to instant sunshine! Keep an eye out for my posts while I am away (as I don't think I can get to a pc) I have lots of random cool things coming up like a make-up artists' bag I found for under a fiver! A Makeup Storage post and of course, my normal 52WODN post :) xx

Barcelona is only a couple of weeks away and I cannot wait :'D Part 1-Outfits

We (Ed, me, Andy & Annie) are going off to SUNNY Barcelona together for a week in July and I simply, cannot wait. It's going to be so much fun and mostly, SUNNY!
Anyhoo, seeing as I do outfits and makeup plans for special occasions, parties etc. I thought why not do some for our Holiday?! So here are some outfit ideas I've come up with :)



My First Few are beachwears, This is my absolute favourite Bikini, from Primark, I believe the Top was £8 and the Bottoms £4!

They're so gorgeous and look really great on, not gonna lie ;)
I am not totally sure where the hat's from but it looks great with the Bikini :D









 My second and Favourite bikini is also from Primark, this one had a slightly cheaper Top again around the £6 mark and the Bottoms were the same at £4 which, for a supportive bra and knickers, isn't that bad!

To the right, this is a cover up I bought from Jane Norman in their most recent sale for £7 and I love it, I really like fringed details and I like how this is quite opaque too :)








This is the second Cover-Up, this ones from Primark too! haha, I know, it seems like everything I own is from there! D: This cover up was only like £6 :)
The necklace is was also from Primark and the camera's annoyed me slightly as it always shows it as orangey when in real life it's more pink :/
I do think this Bikini looks really quite stunning under this cover up though!





 This is my absolute Favourite Full Bodied Swim Suit, It's so retro, so pretty, I always wanna have curly hair & BIG sunglasses when I wear it haha! It's just gorgeous and very flattering, though could do with a tad bit more boobage support :L playing volleyball will not happen in this. I got this from a store called Chamile for around £12 but I believe they went into administration a while ago which is a shame as they did nice lingerie and underwear for plus sized girls at affordable prices :(













Then this is my all time most favourite Maxi Dress, it's so me as it is a kind of weird leopard/not leopard print and I simply love wearing this, I feel elegant and can be a little fat in it :P



































And this Gorgeous Sunflower Playsuit is from....3 guesses here-Primark! XD (around £9) Along with the long cardigan (around £4) shown in the right which is really nice and lightweight but also warming when needed :3 The belt is off of a River Island Playsuit I have but, tbh, I doubt I'll bother taking the belt with me.












Next up is this sight-seeing and "running around" outfit which I have come up with :P It's very simple and I included a cover up in case we end up staying out quite late and/or I needed to dress more conservatively for the area. The Vest & High wasted Leopard shorts are from Primark and the Cover Up Next door> Is from Monsoon
 The picture does not do it justice btw, it is beautifully detailed all down the front :')











 This is another sightseeing outfit and tbh, I'll probably choose between this one and the one above to make my luggage more light :)
 The High wasted light coloured shorts are from Primark, the Leopard Waterfall vest is from H&M and the Cover up is from India so, I have no idea what brand etc it is :L













 Look at the beautiful detailing on it though! It's so gorgeous I wear it all the time when it's hot.






 Here's the last out of my sightseeing outfits, Black Vest and Pink Shorts (both from H&M) Don't know that I'll bother with this one as it will be VERY HOT in Barcelona, I burn up easily and therefore I think this would just be asking for trouble. However, it is very cute and I thought worth a mention :P















 Now onto some evening outfits. I know Ed and Andy won't want to go out clubbing every night. Neither will Annie for that matter, and so I've come up with some outfits that will suit most places (I think :P) This is the first to suit more relaxed outings, consisting of the same White Vest & cardigan from previous and some Gorgeous Primark Trousers which I absolutely adore :') I got these when I went and did my Superdrug haul (which you can see here: ) for £9 and I love them :')










And here's my Going out for PARTAYING dress ;) did I mention I love fringing? :P


















My Summer Sandal-ey Shoes :')

My Summery Going Out Shoes ;)
So I haven't actually chosen what shoes I am going to be taking with me yet, I am pretty sure ed will be the decision maker here, as he does like to take over some times!
Look out for Part 2 of Barcelona Posts, the Makeup, the Hair, the Accessories!
