Whats in my Travel Makeup Bag?

hey girls, so it's no secret that i'm going travelling at the beginning of next month, but before i go off on my volunteering trip, i'm going on a family holiday to Turkey, where i will be staying on a yacht.

i am hoping hat this trip will be a little more glamourous than my volunteering trip, so i will be bringing a few cosmetics items. below is a photo of everything laid out, with brushes ad tools in the top left, face products in the top right, eyes in the bottom left and lips in the bottom right. it looks like a lot but it all fits into a fairly small makeup bag (minus my ELF HD powder whihc comes in a huge box)

please click for a larger image!!

ok, so going from left to right, top to bottom we have:

the eco tools foundation brush (which i use to apply my white Barry M foundation creme as a base to my actual founation)
eco tools finishing kabuki (which i use for my 'actual' bobbi brown foundation)
a crease brush from my fraulien 38 brush roll

Lush Collection / Beautiful new storage solution

hey ladies, today i have an exciting new item to share with you!!

i go this idea from gemsmaquillage over on youtube (i think!!), and i thought it was a really cute storage solution. i love lush and i use their trichomania solid shampoo every day, but the problem comes when i get out of the shower, and the bar is all soggy and wet. when left to dry out again it resolidifies but i hate leaving it out on my bathroom shelf as it makes it sticky and not much air can get around it.

i beautiful vintage cake stand seemed the perfect solution, and today i found the perfect one!

so here is a top view of all of my lush products that i own. i'm gonna do my best to name them, starting with the tins at the top and going clockwise.

tin: fairtrade foot lotion
tin: ultralight sunscreen
pink swirly: the comforter bubble bar
white blocks: trichomania solid shampoo
purple disc: jumping juniper solid shampoo bar
green disc: karma komba solid shampoo bar
minty green foot: stepping stone foot scrub
pinky heart: silk stockings solid body tint
black pot: r&b conditioner sample
white hexagon: mange too massage bar
white heart: soft coeur massage bar
orangey chunk: skinny dip body butter (discontinued)
green tab: token to the forest gods sauna tab
big pink block: rockstar soap
small pink block: a rong of roses soap
yellow ball: honey bee bath ballistic
CENTRE
beige slice: buffy body butter
purple ball: sex bomb bath balistic

so thats my collection. what's YOUR favourite lush product?

love, lucy xxx
