Current Drugstore Faves.

Decided to do a bit of a beauty post today. Summer holidays have just began so hopefully, I will be able to post a lot more from now on. 

Catrice:
This is a brand that doesn't seem to get much attention, but in my opinion is pretty comparable to  it's more expensive counterparts. Others have compared this concealer to being as good as Mac. It covers and hides blemishes really well and blends into the skin naturally while the powder sets any concealer without making it cake your darker.

Kiko:
I spotted this brand while away on a trip in Italy.everything was reasonable priced and looked amazing. However I wasn't able to buy everything so I limited myself to a few items, two of which are the 30 day treatment Mascara and the Kiss balm in Blackberry. Generally I wouldn't be too keen on balms or lipgloss or anything like that, I usually prefer a lipstick or nude lip.However, this 
smelled devine! And actually adds a decent amount of colour 
particularly for a balm! The mascara does what any mascara is supposed to do. However I would say it lengthens the lashes more then anything.

Maybelline:
This is a great dupe to Mac's paint pots. The consistency is the same and it goes on like a dream. This is in the shade 'on and on bronze' . Personally I think this works great with blue/green eyes!

Italia.

The final place, and the place I stayed in longest was Italy! I went to Venice, Verona, Gardaland,
Lake Garda and our hotel was in Sirmione. Just a heads up that this post will be pretty picture heavy!

Generally, I wouldn't say that I'm a roller coaster person, but Gardaland definitely had a lot to offer to everyone of all levels and the atmosphere throughout the place is amazing! 

Sermione 

I would defiantly go back to Sirmione. It's so pretty and there is so many cute shops and amazing Gelato to try.

Venice 

Although I loved Venice, I don't think it is somewhere I would stay for more than 3/4 days. I knew it was a very popular tourist place to go but I didn't think it would have been to that extent! However it was beautiful to look at! 

Julie's house Verona 

Not having a full day to visit Verona was the only thing I didn't enjoy about the trip. Our flight was the same day so we were only there for a few hours. We visited Juliets house based on Shakespeare's Romeo& Juliet. It was also one of like 3 walls that was covered in signatures along with another wall with locks on it. The post box was used to send letters to 'Juliet' !

Austria.

This is the second post in a three part series on my trip to Germany, Austria and Italia!

We visited Salzburg while in Austria and got to visit the house in which Mozart grew up in, the place where the sound of music was filmed and Neuschanstein Castle. The views from all around Austria are truly stunning.they make any bus journey so much easier.
