just got back from vacation and i’m 2 shades darker than usual. normally we love a bronze queen but i have a very big family wedding in a couple days that i have to attend and none of my foundations are my shade :’) i even bought a €60+ foundation on my trip of my usual shade so rest assured i would love not to spend more for a temporary shade match. when i don’t wear stuff thats my shade i tend to look yellow or ashy and just weird. i have uneven skin and acne marks so i can’t go without foundation. even my concealer is a bit too light for me. it’s been almost a week since ive been back but im as tan as ever

i’m currently on accutane so my scalp doesn’t really get greasy and i can go like 2 weeks without washing it but i wash it at least once a week. i just bought the kerastase genesis serum and ive heard it works best on freshly washed, damp hair. can i still apply it between washes? if it wont be effective i dont want to waste it bec its so expensive.

is it a big deal if a board an 8:59am train? (since the ticket becomes valid from 9am)

the next train is a whole hour later which will be really inconvenient for me.

our ferry is supposed to reach capri at 11:30 and our blue grotto tour will start at 13:00

is this enough of a buffer to account for delays, queues, etc. nothing is booked yet

what’s the cheapest way to get back from positano/amalfi to naples AFTER sunset??

i’ve booked all the required reservations already. i was wondering whether i should be booking the optional ones as well, or at least some, as i’ve heard they tend to get very crowded.

here are the optional ones im thinking of booking:

- lugano > zurich HB *regional*

- basel Sbb > freiburg Hbf *eurocity express*

- freiburg Hbf > Mannheim Hbf *ICE* (11 min transfer) Manheim Hbf to Muenchen Hbf *ICE*

- muenchen Hbf > Stuttgart *ICE* (1hr 9min transfer) Stuttgart Hbf > Paris est *ICE* (already booked the second half as it was required)

travelling in june

another concern was

i’ve already booked stuttgart > Paris, so should i be booking the one before it as well, just incase there’s no problems.

second, i’ve heard germany has a lot of delays, so what if the trains we’ve booked just get delayed and we have to take different ones (losing money, it’s $38 for optional trains for 4 ppl per train)

travelling with slightly aged parents, standing in the train is not an option for trains longer than 30 mins)

according to location and trains being taken, what do you think should be done? additional advice is welcome!

travelling to europe this summer (italy, france, germany, switzerland) and i want to know what stuff people tend to buy from here as it’s cheaper

things currently on my list:

- la roche posay sunscreen
- kerastase products

edit: i usually shop from US
edit 2: looking to buy cosmetic products, clothes, perfumes etc.

currently its been about a month since ive been on accutane. (got prescribed 20mg for 3 months). i have experienced extreme dry skin, ESPECIALLY lips. i think ive done my make-up 3-4 times since ive been on accutane because i cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it not look disgusting.

ive gotten the hang of very light make up, but even with this i cannot figure out what to do about my lips because my lips start flaking very obviously around the edges. and even this "very light make-up" i usually take off after 6 hours MAX, around when you can clearly see white dry patches all over my face. currently i literally dont use lipstick bcs there is no point, i cannot figure out how

what im currently doing is putting heavy amounts vaseline on my face for half an hour to an hour twice a day (once in the morning whenever i have had to do makeup). i put vaseline on my lips every hour or so (i carry a portable vaseline with me bcs it literally starts hurting otherwise). it would be tolerable if i could put it just on the lips but i have to put it on the edges as well

im going on vacation in less than a month, and i really want to find a solution that works for me so i can at least do my make-up on the vacation. i dont mind not being able to get ready on an everyday basis but i do want to get dolled up on vacation.

does anyone have any tips?

was adding traveller info to buy eurail pass and there was a notice saying

"To travel with a Eurail Pass, European citizens living in a non-European country will also need to bring an official residency document.."

im confused, wdym "ALSO" (im a non eu citizen), does this mean i have to bring my residency documents from my home country?
