I’m off to Spain in a weeks time for a well overdue holiday and looking to see what products I should bring - I’ve got the contentious Bum Bum cream travel pack so far …

What do you usually wear? You'll need an spf and maybe tinted moisturiser? But anything too heavy is going to melt off your skin. The chanel cc cream has spf 50 but is hard to get hold of. I'd take one of those water sprays. Does bum cream have spf in? If not you'll need that.

Good idea re tinted moisturiser as I normally wear foundation. Was thinking of a body oil - maybe with a bit of shimmer for the evening?

After sun/night moisturiser. My current favourite is the M&S 8 hours sleep cream.

Waterproof mascara

Have a look at nuxe body oil?

A good conditioner makes a real difference - that and the GHD cordless straighteners.

Ooh - we go away on Thursday so I'm following if that's ok op?

I'm on the lookout for a spray of some kind for my hair as it'll be a tangled disgrace

And a tinted moisturiser of some kind. I usually wear foundation and am a bit clueless

I’d recommend Revlon Equave as a leave-in conditioner / detangler.

Thanks for all the suggestions and of course it’s ok to join in @Workyticket Holiday prep is part of the fun lol! I think I had a small bottle of the Nuxe body oil in the M&S beauty box and yes it was good so will buy a proper size to take. As for hair products I’ve got very fine hair so god knows what the heat will do to it!

Eborian cc cream is great for hoildays and home. You can buy a travel size in boots.

aveda do hair sunblock

O de Lancome. The most refreshing citrus scent and really reasonable for a big bottle. I'm on holiday at the moment and it's fabulous to refresh you. I spray it on my sheets at night too.

I use Nuxe ‘moisturising protective milky oil’ when I go swimming and it always leaves my hair really soft! It’s supposed to protect against chlorine and UV rays,
