The best festival kit - EVER

Festivals are all about chilling with your friends,
listening to good music and looking hot while you're at it!

I'm off to Virgin Media's V Festival tomorrow - and in hardcore festival style, I'll be going early Friday morning and staying right through until Monday (anything else is just amateur!). I will of course be spending a lot of my time in the Virgin Media Louder Lounge with all the VIPs, but come night time I'll be back to a tent like everybody else, so need a festival survival kit that'll keep me looking good with minimal resources!

Three nights with a few mates under canvas can go one of two ways. Either you end up sharing one deodorant and fighting over a few wet wipes, or you go totally overboard and take along your entire grooming kit(including your all-important and extremely expensive portable straighteners, which you WILL end up loosing) and most of your make-up, with few new festival
extras to boot.

So, after picking the brains of all my beauty contacts, what I've done this year is make a super-strict list of everything I need, and I'm planning to stick to it. I'm calling it The Best Festival Kit - EVER, and I reckon it has every beauty essential anyone could ever need, whichever festival you go to. And best of all, everything here is available on the high street, because if you're anything like me, you'll be doing a last minute late-night shop the night before you go!

Enjoy and see you at V Festival!
