The Holiday Series #2 : On board beauty items

Twelve hours is a pretty long time to be sat in the same place, I don't even do that in my own bed most nights! I've been putting together everything I might need to keep myself occupied for what I'm sure will seem like a very, very long twelve hours. 

To begin with I've been getting my beauty kit ready so I don't land in Mauritius with scaly, lizard skin, chapped lips and horrible nails. I did one of these a year or two ago (click here to see) but as a compulsive shopper I have of course acquired some more products that have replaced the older bits and pieces.

L-R : Sally Hansen nail growth miracle serum, teeny tiny floss dispenser, Bioderma cleansing water £4.50 (here, click!), depotted Liz Earle Naturally Active moisturiser (here, click!), pink toothbrush holder (here, click!), gum, Clinique eye repair creme, Dior Creme De Rose lip balm (best EVER!) and Vaseline hand and nail cream (here, click!).

I suppose these are all relatively self-explanatory but I'll probably use these repeatedly on the flight. One application of all the face products once we're on the plane, once after a little nap and probably once while I watch Frozen. If all goes to plan I'll have perfectly sleek and hydrated skin by the time we land.

Have I forgotten anything??

My 2013 Aeroplane Necessities

As I'm typing this I'm impatiently tapping my feet waiting to leave for the airport hotel later this evening but hopefully as you're reading this I'll have landed back home in the UK after a week in the best place in the whole world : DISNEY WORLD! In order to get to Florida I have to go on a plane which lead me to think of last year's aeroplane favourites which you can read here (click!). However a lot can change in a year so I've updated it with my favourites from the last few months.

So, these are pretty self-explanatory (but a blog post needs a few accompanying words anyway!) ; hairbrush, hair bands and bobby pins are all to keep my hair off my face for the flight. I think I'll be opting for the messy bun because it's the quickest to fix if it needs re-doing. Toothbrush and gum are to make sure I don't have a mouth like Ghandi's flip-flop as my friend Aimee would say. I have a travel sized tube of toothpaste somewhere too! Lipbalm, moisturiser and body lotion are all to keep my skin hydrated. I'll use the body moisturiser on my hands for an intensive treatment rather than to moisturise my legs, I'm not sure how the rest of the cabin would feel if I dropped trou and asked for a leg rub!! Deodorant is pretty obvious.. no-one likes a smelly passenger.

Here are some very blurry individual photos with the details :

Superdrug Soft Touch Hair Grips (I can't find these exact hair grips but there's a similar product here) and Metal Free Hair Bands (and here), Denman D3 Strawberry Shortcake hairbrush (exact here), novelty Hello Kitty nail file.

Dermalogica Active Moist moisturiser (here), Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Intensive Body Moisturiser (here) & Dove Maximum Protection deodorant (here).

The only one I've missed out is the Nivea Lip Butter but there's a full review here (click!) and you can buy it here (click!)

This year I won't be taking any make-up on the plane with me. Sorry Virgin Atlantic, I've got my ugly face on for the next 9 hours!

It's a bit late for me to pack your favourites but tell me what they are in the comments!
