My Festival Backpack Heroes

Posted 23/07/2012

If its freezing cold, blowing a gale and pouring with rain – it  can only mean one thing – it must be Festival season!

We Brits aren’t ones to let a bit of mud and rain spoil the party – or our looks though are we?  With these Backpack Heroes you can be sure that, whilst your fellow campers ooze and squidge around you, you’ll remain fresh, fragrant and dewy (in all the right senses of the word) all Festival long….

OK, so not strictly speaking something you can stick in your Backpack, nevertheless a pre-Festival eyebrow shape and eyelash tint at your nearest Blink Bar will do wonders for you, even in a howling gale…

Bring the sun with you with the amazing St Tropez Gradual Tan Face Moisturiser which gives the most natural glow to your skin….make sure you wipe your hands after applying with Ole Henriksen Truth To Go wipes - also brilliant for late night face washing, when running water is scarce….

For those rare moments when the sun might peak through, Laura Mercier’s SPF 20 Tinted Moisturiser is a must – moisturiser, SPF and foundation all in one, what’s not to love?

Keeping on a waterproof tip, for when the heavens open (or it all gets a bit emotional) try Urban Decay’s 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner …..

Topped up with Guerlain’s waterproof mascara, complete with handy mirror – because heaven knows, they are few and far between in those portaloos….

Keep lips moisturised with Ole Henriksen Fresh Lips SPF 15….

And last but not least, an absolute must have for tired tresses….John Frieda’s Luxurious Volume Anytime Refresher Spray
