Products that make vacation easy

I am back from vacation and thought I would do a quick post on some of the products that made my vacation super easy! Honorable mentions include my all-time favourite La Roche-Posay sunscreen for the face, and Cake beauty's dry shampoo. 

Bausch + Lomb Bio true multi-purpose solution (note: this product was provided for my honest review)

If you wear contact lenses, you know how important a good quality contact solution is! I usually use Bausch and Lomb eye care products and I had mentioned them on my blog in the past. A representative from the company actually emailed me and asked if I would like to try their newest contact solution, Biotrue, which is 'bio insprired', meaning it is inspired by the way our eyes work! It has a pH balance that matches tears, and contains Hyaluronan, which is a lubricant found naturally in the body and eyes; this lubricant keeps lenses moist and comfortable all day long. This contact solution is awesome! I wore my contacts for longer than usual while on vacation, because I had long days outside and glasses are annoying to wear- especially in the sunshine when you're sweating, erm I mean, glistening. I am very impressed with this contact solution and will definitely be buying more! My eyes just felt more moisturized and less irritated than usual. Bausch and Lomb said that if my readers were interested, I could give away some of this awesome product- are there any other glasses/contact lens wearers out there? If so, comment and tell me! It will also let me know if you all might be interested in hearing my reviews of other eye care brands.

benefit's highbeam facial illuminator

When you're on vacation, you don't want to be wearing a lot of makeup. I kept it to the bare minimum! All I wore was a touch of this awesome highlighter, highbeam by benefit, which completely uplifts my entire appearance. Alongside highbeam, I wore my sunscreen and lipgloss with SPF. What else does a girl need when she is relaxing in the water all day?

CoverFX MintGlaze FX ($22.00/3ml)

My go-to lip gloss was CoverFX MintGlaze FX ($22.00/3ml), which is a yummy mint lip treatment with SPF 15! This product is advertised as a primer for other colours, but I just wear it on its own as a clear lip gloss. I love this product because it is not sticky at all, and it is mint flavoured! It gives a simple sheen to the lips and protects them from the sun- plus I am a huge fan of the CoverFX brand! This product lasts forever on the lips, which is great when you're using it for sun protection. 

Finally, La Roche-Posay really saved the day for me on this recent vacation! I got a terrible, bright-red sun burn on my back on the first day. I was worried it would ruin my entire vacation! There is nothing worse than an aggressive sun burn. Luckily, I had packed my after-sun care gel from La Roche-Posay! It has a nice light scent, and goes on very smooth. This product completely soothed my angry skin and left me comforted. After two days of applying this product, my sun burn had turned into a tan and was no longer extremely painful! Hurray :)
