My Favorite Travel Makeup Cases

Maybe I’m turning into an old lady, but at this point, I care a lot less about whether the case is cute and a lot more about whether it successfully keeps everything organized and in one. dang. place. I came across this makeup case a couple months ago and it has been a true life-changer for long trips. I was skeptical at first because it’s definitely on the large side, but then realized that its size allows ALL of my makeup and ALL of my toiletries to fit perfectly in one place. I can’t tell you how amazing it is…

Elemis Cleansing Balm

When it comes to skincare, I’ve gone into detail about my facial cleansing regimen and as you probably know, the Elemis Cleansing Balm is a mainstay in my routine. Aptly called “a spa in a jar,” it’s one of the best self-care investments you can make right now. Speaking of investments, rest-assured that one jar will last your for many, many, many months (even if you use it twice a day like I do). It does such a spectacular job cleansing your skin of pollutants, dirt and makeup without stripping your skin of its natural oils and the truly DIVINE…

Philips Sonicare Diamond Clean Toothbrush

Absolutely the best toothbrush I’ve ever used (and the top toothbrush recommended by my dentist!), but this wonder really stole my heart when I discovered how well it travels. Since we all clearly have enough chargers to travel with, this toothbrush doesn’t have to be charged at all during your trip (unless you’re away longer than two weeks). Just fully charge it the night before your flight, and you’re good for the duration. How you fill the extra space in your bag is up to you. I’d go with accessories.

Nudestix

Have you met Nudestix? Have they changed your life yet? Nudestix is a new-to-me mother/daughter brand that creates the creamiest, most natural-looking shades of makeup, all in stick form. It’s all so easy to apply with just your fingers, and allows you to do a full, fresh-looking face in minutes. Honestly I’m obsessed w/ their whole line, especially for summer, but do not overlook their blur stick. I’ve put this on at 7am and still been impressed with my glow by dinnertime. If the “no makeup” makeup look is your thing, definitely check out this brand.

Cult Favorite: Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Reviving Lip Balm

I recently asked everyone on instastories to share their favorite can’t-live-without lip products and this was by far the most-recommended product. I’ve heard about the Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Reviving Lip Balm for YEARS and know it’s a total cult favorite but for some reason had never really tried it until now. Needless to say, I finally get the hype. Super moisturizing with a touch of color, the balm comes in an amazing line-up of shades and finishes that are flattering on every skin tone.

Amazing Lip Mask

Here’s a fun idea, what if we didn’t get chapped lips this year? Taking better care of my pout the same way I care for my skin is a huge priority going into fall and winter. This year, I’m being proactive and getting into nighttime lip-care, starting with Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask. I like the idea of being able to leave the house without some mildly medicinal lip solution in tow, don’t you? Believe me, there’s a reason this product as 130K loves on Sephora.

CLEAR LIPSTICK CAPS

You should be sitting for this one. Via my friend Lauryn, I recently discovered a company that makes clear plastic caps for popular lipstick brands. How AMAZING is this?! That perfectly-organized makeup collection (who are we kidding, the 45 random items at the bottom of your bag), just got a lot more functional. These caps let you easily see the color in the tube without checking each color name with a magnifying glass, making locating your chosen color so much easier. If you really want to go all the way, replace those caps and then organize everything in this clear…

Glamsquad

You might think I’m about to discuss beauty services. What I’m actually about to discuss is multitasking. Glamsquad is genius. It is on-demand beauty in your home (or office, hotel, wherever you want them to show up, really), that allows you to receive any number of beauty services (I went with a mani/pedi) without interrupting your workflow. I find it amazingly valuable to continue my to-do’s while crossing off another one that usually involves travel time and terrible Wifi. And yes, sometimes a luxurious massage chair mani/pedi is exactly what you need. Other times, you’re about to go on vacation…
