Beauty Must Haves!

Being a somewhat frequent traveler, I've developed a love/hate relationship with the TSA, the weather, and all things airport, commuting, and temperature concerned.

I'm currently planning another couple of trips in the course of the next month and my skin will be begging for forgiveness. If you're a traveler as well, here are some of my favorite items for travel, and for cutting beauty regiments in half!

1: Becca Resurfacing Primer: A great, all over moisturizer leaving skin demi-matte and pore-less. You can wear this base for hours on end and makeup will still appear smooth.

2: Rosebud Salve. The best lip treatment for consistent use and chapped smackers.

3: NARS Limited Edition palette in Danmari. Still available on Ebay! A phenomenal selection of blush, bronzer and highlighter. It's my current, go-to palette and keeps everything portable and small.

4: Tan Towels. They'll give you a natural glow and prolong a vacation tan for weeks on end! No streaks, no orange-y finish, no mess.

5: Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara in Black. The FAVE!  After a little morning sun, two coats is all you'll need to brighten up!

6: Hai 1.5 inch wide barrel straightener. Perfect for those larger, beachy waves and quick straightening on the go. Heats to 400 in about 30 seconds flat.

7: Peter Thomas Roth Mega Rich Body Lotion with Vitamin C. The only thing that seems to heal my dry hands and cuticles. A quick absorbing and lightweight, travel item.

8: Lather Shampoo and Condition in Mint Thyme Wash and Yuzu Bergamot Detangler. Seriously, my hair has never looked or felt better and it really gets chlorine and sea salt out!

9: Skincare Member Restorative Marine Moisturizer. The Creme de la Mer "knock off" rules for dry, travel thirsty skin, and at a tenth of the price, it's hard to beat! (See my previous review of the line here).

10: Stella McCartney Rollerball portable perfume. In TSA approved and purse friendly size. I've lived with this scent since it first appeared on the market and will never stop dabbing it lavishly.

11: Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Rosewater. Relief for parched skin, and those wanting a makeup perk-up.

Happy, healthy travels to all!

With Love!
