Beauty: Travel Makeup

Thursday, November 1



My travel makeup bag is extremely light.  I don't like packing so I try my hardest to limit the amount of products I carry.  I wanted to share with you a few tried and true products that I love to use when traveling. 

Aveda Botanical Kinetics Hydrating Lotion- I use this  before applying foundation.  It really is hydrating and serves as a great primer.

Chanel perfection Lumiere Flawless Fluid Makeup SPF 10 Foundation-  Surprisingly this wears lighter than some tinted moisturizers and it is very hydrating, it gives you a great glow. 

Maybelline Great Lash, Anastasia Clear Brow Gel and Stila Waterproof Eye Liner- I use these religiously they really make my eyes pop, especially when I wear my eyeglasses. 

Clinique Chubby Stick, Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks, and Bobbi Brown Longwear Cream Shadow- These are a few extras I use to give my look a little bit of glamour.  Sometimes I like to look made up without looking overdone and I love products that give that hint of color.

The good thing about all of these products is the very small packaging that allows me to carry it in one small makeup bag. 

Culture: The World's Prettiest Places

Thursday, May 19

US News Travel compiled a photo slide show of the world's prettiest places and I felt obligated to share it with my readers.  I don't know what it is about things that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye that puts me in my happy place but I love things like this.  It makes me hope for that one day where I can up and travel to the most beautiful sights in the world.
