Waterproof mascara and suncream....

[alibeau]

HI guys,

Just a few last minute queries of super high importance

I've read that waterproof mascara is the way to go for an August trip. I have been on 'hot' holidays previously but not experienced the humidity thing yet..... Do I really need waterproof mascara as it's not something I usually use?

And then suncream for the face. I have used Clinique city block spf40 in the past. I have to be careful with my mush as I get brown blotches if I don't use a high spf. Does anyone use anything different that they would recommend?

Thanks guys

Ali

If you *must* wear mascara, then I'd agree and say that waterproof is probably the way to go. Purely because of the heat, combined with the water rides Personally, I just left it out for two weeks.

I have known other ladies book themselves in for an eye lash tint before leaving the UK. But you do need to call in a salon 24 hours before having one done for them to do a reaction test to make sure that it'll be okay for you.

As for the sun cream for your face, I use Clinique as you do and I've never had any problems at all, except for the fact of me stupidly forgetting my poor ears in the process Ouch! If it's good for you and know it works, I'd stick with the same as you know you won't have any problems.

I can't advise on the mascara, but I use Garnier Ambre Solaire SPF 50+ for sensitive skin on my face (and everywhere else). It has 5 star UVA rating and the best UVA blockers - Mexoryl SX/XL (only found in L'Oreal brands/products).

It's currently just £5 per 200ml bottle in Asda.

If you still want a high end product though, I'd recommend La Roche-Posay (it's another L'Oreal brand - you can get it in Boots).

I dont wear waterproof mascara but I am using Ultrasun suntan lotion this year. You put it on once a day and you are protected all day

Thanks for the replies

I guess I will take my usual stuff with me and see how I get on Can always buy alternatives once we are there if necessary!

Thanks again
