My travel essentials!
Renee at Cottage and Vine is having a fun party. She says: “The question is, if you are going away for the weekend and can only take five products, in your cosmetic bag, what would they be. “
Well, I couldn’t resist. I travel a lot: some trips are short-weekenders and others are weeks-long-across-the-pond kinds of trips. Even for the short variety, if I am flying, I am NOT a carry-on gal. No, if I go somewhere I want to be prepared…
In the last year I have become totally enamored with this kind of suitcase:
the 26″:
and for short trips, the 21″:
And my makeup kit of choice, just found on line:
Five products….yikes…..help!…..which five? Hard to narrow it down, Renee, but here goes:
Absolutely essential: Bare Minerals makeup. I love it. Period.
Eye liner. My all time favorite is the French Bourjois in black. It’s retractable and lasts forever.
Can I sneak this in? Assuming the hotel has a hair dryer, I need my straightener!
Then my moisturizer. I use Lac-Hydrn. Ever heard of it? Maybe not. Wonderful, wonderful for anyone with very dry skin, and I use it, and it alone, on my face and body.
And for my hair, a nice thick conditioner from Bumble and Bumble:
So, what would you pack in this essential kit??
