The makeup items you want to take on vacation

I often find the anticipation of vacation at least as enjoyable, even though I am really terrible at making preparations. So the day before departure, I head to Kruidvat armed with my debit card, to buy everything out. By the way, that's not always my intention, but I'm certainly not the only one who goes there with a very neat and solid list and invariably comes home with six times as much. Especially for vacation, I don't mind that, because they literally have everything; if you travel with only hand luggage, they have everything in a handy size, and I can also grab some summery nail polish and of course make-up take with me.

I actually always score the items for my basic look at Kruidvat. Now I must say that I am really a creature of habit in that regard; for example, I have been using the same mascara. That is the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High, which is even on sale now: buy 1 get 1 free, so I'm going to take advantage of that.

The products I use on vacation are often different than at home. There is a very obvious reason for that: on vacation, I finally have some color again and I take a less covering and more natural concealer with me. Therefore, the Maybelline New York Instant Anti Age Eraser is always in my makeup bag.

As for lipstick, I want it to last much longer than in the Netherlands, because I am often out and about until the early hours abroad, and I want everything to stay in place as well as possible. That's why I swear by the L’Oréal Paris Infaillible 24H Lipstick. Believe me: it not only really lasts those 24 hours, but it also transfers zero and the color stays really great. The Maybelline SuperStay 24H Lipstick does that too, by the way, and both brands have a really large assortment of colors. So a recommendation.

And yes, those lipsticks are also on sale now: you get the second item for one euro. I always find that a great bonus at Kruidvat, because I empty half the store but am always surprised by the big discounts they offer. Kruidvat, love to you. Soon I will be flying again and of course I will be stopping by you, so be prepared.
