So you’re prepping for a fab holiday.  It’s evening and you’re leaving early the next morning. Tickets sorted, clothes and make-up, tick,tick – then the moment when you realise you’re going to have to decant the correct amounts of skincare from big bottles/pots/jars into small ones… What small ones…? Aaaargh! Cue full on stressy panic hissy fit.

That moment is when you/we will be very (VERY…) grateful for The Long Weekender by de Mamiel - the gorgeous natural skincare line started by the wonderful Annee de Mamiel - to save us from packing stress.

The Long Weekender is obviously pretty l-o-o-o-n-g in Annee’s book. In fact this is more like a fortnight kit. There are really generous sizes of beauty essentials – which should easily last you up to two weeks: Restorative Cleansing Balm (Sarah’s favourite) with its own soft cleansing cloth, Revitalising Body Serum, Intense Nurture Antioxidant Elixir and Exhale Daily Hydrating Nectar SPF30. All packed up in an elegant taupe and turquoise zipper bag. So get ready to jet off in de Mamiel style. An investment, yes, but worth it if your budget will stretch. PS It would be a fab present for mum, sister, BF.
