Fresh off the runway (tarmac, not fashion): …our travel
must-haves!
Julia’s Top 3
-Neutrogena Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover: I won’t lie and say
that I’m one of those girls who can’t sleep if she has a stitch of makeup on (I
know- not good). Priority #1 is taking
my contacts out, after that, it’s fair game as to what gets done on vacation. (Night serums, makeup remover…sure, on a good
night.) I do, however, always kick
myself when I forget to pack this particular product. I imagine it could remove permanent marker in
the gentlest fashion. Nothing makes me
feel like I’m working with a clean slate like a thorough swab of this potion
over my eyes.
- Morrocanoil: whether it’s the humidity or the hotel hair
dryer, my lion’s mane is usually in need of some tender love and care come Day
2 of vacation. Morrocanoil is the ticket
to frizz-less, effortless beach hair…whether you’re at the beach or not (and it
smells ridiculous! +5).
-A palette with a good size mirror: Palettes are fantastic for travel because
they lighten the load, but the emphasis here is on the mirror. Hotel bathroom lighting is always
touch-and-go. Florescent bulbs!? That’s not an accurate representation of how
the rest of the world will see you.
Grabbing a sizable mirror and parking it by a window can be a real game
changer for makeup application. Natural
lighting is a dear old friend.
Lauren’s Top 3
- Tan Towels: If I'm traveling for a special event, it often
requires me to show body parts that haven't seen the sun for a long long time
(see: the wedding I went to this past weekend). I've tried a number of
different self-tanners over the years, but Tan Towels are by far the best. They
distribute excellent color, don't streak and they’re perfect for traveling.
Beware of Tan Towel look-alikes (even some that are more expensive). This is
the brand you want.
- Kielh's Midnight Recovery: everybody knows that long
flights dry you up, but sometimes your daily moisturizer just won't cut it. A
few drops of this serum before bedtime quenches your skin over night and leaves
you feeling refreshed and bright in the morning. It's travel size, but will
last forever.
- Bobby pins: Never underestimate the power of a bobby pin.
Vacation hair is unpredictable. You might not have your favorite styling tools
or hair products, so you often resort to throwing your hair up in a ponytail or
bun... not that there's anything wrong with that... BUT, with a bobby pin, you
can add a twist or a side braid in minutes and completely upgrade the
look.
