If there’s one way to describe my travel bag goodies, it’s gift with purchases and samples. I love having a drawer full of these fun skincare and makeup minis for those special times when I am planning a trip. Summer means a fun getaway is bound to come up so let’s plan ahead. Besides my phone charger, my make-up bag is the most important thing I pack. I once lost it in my carry-on luggage on a trip to New York City once and literally went straight to a drugstore to buy all my essentials again. A girl needs her make up!
So of course there are the basics like foundation, powder, mascara, lip options and a good eyeshadow palette. I love taking something like the Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a Palette. This way I have eyeshadow, highlighter, bronzer and blush all in one little package. Space is so important when packing because that means taking that extra pair of heels you can’t decide if you should pack or not.
Skincare products are just as important, since without nice skin your makeup will not look its best. A long flight will make you super dehydrated, so unwind after a long day of tourism with La Mer The Hydrating Facial Mask. Just make sure to put on the Do Not Disturb Sign, so you don’t scare housekeeping. Besides skincare and makeup, a great makeup remover is a must. You don’t want to be stuck in your room wondering if you should use the hotel bar of soap to wash off your makeup. There’s one thing I love about the NARS AQUA-INFUSED MAKEUP REMOVING WATER which is written in the description; "Makeup can be worn right after using it." It’s also gentle so you can take off all your makeup without any irritation. Bon Voyage!
