Airport Shopping: The Stuff You "Really" Need

Some people plan a short trip or a long holiday, spend time making the plans and a considerable amount on the actual trip. Other people, do all of the mentioned as well a long list of items to purchase which are perceived to be discounted or a little bit cheaper at the airport. However, that heavily depends on what airport, how far you are traveling (internationally, within Europe or domestic).
Once you have taken the time to write the list, it would be rude not to buy at least half of the items. Or would it? Well if you are as impulsive as me, you will buy as much as you can afford, and maybe more than you should. I tend to suffer from buyers' remorse regularly but it's like I never learn.
Onto the goods....
The Urban Decay Naked Palette which I have wanted for a few months now so I found I was able to justify this purchase. It comprises of an array of colours in bronze, brown, nude, gold, dark grey and almost black. This is my ideal palette as I only wear bronze colours during the day, and I will go for more of a darker smokey eye for a night out. This set comes with a eye shadow primer which helps your eyeshadow to last longer and stay in place. I prefer to apply eyeshadow over my BB cream or foundation rather than before. I know you are risking the possibility of the eyeshadow falling onto your face but with this palette I haven't encountered that problem.














































































 
Nina Ricci "Fantasy" Limited edition. This is incredible for during the day and has a refreshing floral scent.










NARS Laguna Bronzer. This is my favourite bronzer and I stock up on this when I see a good offer. I saved a little on this Airport buy but if I didn't run out a day before I would have just purchased this in store.
Umberto Gianni Dry Shampoo. I can't live without this. It smells so much nicer than Batiste, even though I like Batiste, I have definitely converted and it is incredibly difficult to switch back. I keep Batiste on hold for emergencies in case I run out!
Vichy 3-in-one Cleanser. I am a sucker for anything that saves time on taking off my make-up. But wipes dry out my skin so I need to use a good quality cleanser. Apply with a cotton wool pad and it takes off all of your make up as well as your eye make up. It is a time saver but doesn't dry out your skin. My skin is combination, a mix of oily and dry. So I am prone to the odd spot here and there but I can also get really dry skin so a good moisturiser is essential.
























 

What are your main airport purchases?
