AUGUST 98: TRAVEL ESSENTIALS
August is the last great travel month of the summer, a time to get away before the pressures of school, work, and life get into full swing for fall. Naturally, I can't think of vacation without thinking, "What products am I going to bring?" No matter how many times I travel, putting together the ultimate travel makeup and skin care kit is always a challenge. Now that I've worked through most of the kinks and have a kit that I think really works, this month I am happy to share my findings with you!

Skin Care

  • Lancome Eau de Bienfait - Of all the makeup removers I've used, this one from Lancome always works best for travel. It removes face and eye makeup easily with no residue, no stinging, no redness, no irritation.
  • Biore Non-Foaming Gel Cleanser or Biore Mild Daily Cleansing Scrub - both are great for everyday and leave your skin feeling clean and fresh, never stripped or oily
  • Biore Self-Heating Mask - Not only does this mask work great in a hurry (only takes one minute) without over-drying your skin, but the single use packaging makes them perfect for travel.
  • Eucerin Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 25 - Complete broad spectrum (UVA and UVB) protection in a lightweight, oil-free formula that has been recommended by dermatologists for years. You only need a tiny pea sized dab for your whole face, and the non-irritating and non-comedogenic (shouldn't cause breakouts) formula works well for any skin type.
  • Beauty Without Cruelty Green Tea Nourishing Eye Gel - Ideal for around your eyes, or for your whole face, this gel really hydrates and soothes without clogging pores or causing breakouts. Perfect for those emergency dry spots.
Makeup
  • Shiseido Liquid Compact - SPF 15, great selection of colors, smooth natural finish, and completely portable
  • Joe Blasco loose setting powder - natural, light finish in a convenient shaker container. Use with a puff or powder brush.
  • Bobbi Brown Cream Blush Stick - totally portable stick meets long-lasting, natural cheek color
  • Hard Candy Training Brow kit - everything you need to perfectly groomed brows
  • Origins Brow Fix clear gel
  • Lip Ink lipstains - superior long-lasting, transfer-proof color that requires no maintenance during the day
Hair and Body Care
  • KMS Curl Up Curling Balm - for curly hair
  • Phytotherathrie Phytodefrisant hair relaxing balm - if you want your hair straighter
  • Sebastian Potion 9 - adds body and a touch of moisture to dry, worn-out hair
  • St. Ives Swiss Formula Body Lotion Mist - portable spray won't ooze or leak in your travel bag
  • Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Castille Liquid Soap - use this for everything from all-over body wash to cleaning your makeup brushes
  • Coppertone Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF30 - for face and/or body
