The Travel Edition Beauty Bag⎪skincare, makeup, body, and hair




I do a bit of traveling in a year, and each time I start packing I get so lost in the process I forget to blog about it. But this time around, I made it my business to actually take all the products I put in my bag back out, and take pictures of them. I love looking at my travel beauty bag and finding them so neatly organized, full of products that I fully trust and want to take with me.



I usually divide my travel beauty bag into two or three parts. One, is my skincare. Two, is my makeup. And three is mostly my body and hair products. People who aren't into beauty will probably think this is a bit too much, but gone traveling with these products, I'm fully happy with the products I brought along.

Where did I go: I went to Texas for a week, and will be traveling to California this coming week with probably the same products refilled!
What do I use as travel beauty bags: CVS has these travel clear pouches that come with small plastic disposable containers where you can put in some of your liquid products that are more than 3.4oz. But then, I also have a beauty bag that I keep in my small bag as I'm traveling. It's my usual Tory Burch makeup pouch.

Makeup Pouch:
Let's start with my makeup pouch, since it's the one I used the most throughout the week:

This is something that I put in my carry-on. I have a hand lotion by Josie Maran that has seriously cured my cuticles. Then I've got an In-Flight Face Mist by Kiehl's and then a touch-up powder by Benefit. Also, everyone needs to have a hand sanitizer when traveling, so I've got a generic effective one by Purell. Then to keep myself from feeling icky during flights and traveling, I put in a perfume that I really love by Nuxe. I also have the This Works Deep Sleep Stress Less aromatherapy stick. For lips, I've got one balm and one lipstick. The balm is the Nuxe Reve de Miel. For lips, I have the YSL rouge volupté shine that I recently blogged about here.

Skincare:
You can't believe how handy samples become during travel! I've got my handy ziplock of samples, filled with some lovely Missha products. Then I've got some isoi products that I've been kind of really loving. Then the main skincare you see are really from Mario Badescu. Gosh, I love this brand to pieces! I've got their Buttermilk Moisturizer, Hyaluronic + Vitamin C serum, and their Drying Cream. Then I've got the Bioderma miscellare H20 makeup remover then I can't live without. Because it is traveling, I also put in a handy face wipe by Neutrogena. Then something that I has really grown on me was the First Aid Beauty Red Clay Cleanser. I think I might even go purchase a full size of this!

Makeup:
I took a decent amount of makeup so I'm not going to list everything I took. But you can get a good look at the products laid out. I made sure to take one for everything: foundation, eyebrow, blush, bronzer, lips, mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadows, and concealer.

Hair care:
I was more than impressed to find out that my favorite shampoo has a travel-friendly size. I never blogged about it because once something goes inside my tub, I get so lazy about taking it back out in all its wet mess and take pictures of them! But anyway, this shampoo is the Clear Scalp & Hair brand. I love this shampoo because they really help with lifting roots and getting the scalp to feel so super clean without drying out the hair!
This isn't a conditioner, but it's close enough. In the container that the CVS clear travel bags come in, there are also labels that you can put on them. This one is the L'Oreal Erase Balm Hair Mask that I won't be without! Another hair product that I took with me is the It's a 10 Leave-in Miracle Conditioner. 



Non-makeup Beauty Bag Essentials

These items have been a non-stop hand reach this past month. Even if you're not a beauty girl, I think most girls carry these few items in their handbag somewhere. I chose my favorites that I found in my pouch that aren't makeup.



A hand lotion is a must. I found this travel-friendly version from Bioderma and it's lovely. Although personally I've been loving and preferring This Works Deep Sleep Dream Cream, I chose the Bioderma because the scent of the Dream Cream is that of natural essential oils, and not everyone really gravitates towards it. I absolutely love the scent, but just in case, I like to carry a more mild scented lotion around, such as the Bioderma Repair Hand cream. They are though, both great for the parched hands!

For lips, I've been endlessly using the Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm. It's by the far the thickest consistency I've ever used. it's a honey content that has little beads that I use to exfoliate my lips. I recently went skiing, and this thick balm totally helped my lips stay in supple condition for the whole day! I love it so much, and it lasts forever because of the thickness of the balm. I also love that it's in a glass pot. It feels so luxurious.

For the people who have anxiety, I recommend This Works Deep Sleep Stress Less rollerball. You can dap it (or roll it) on your pulse points, and you can waft it every now and then. The scent is also similar to their Dream Cream, full of essential oils and herbal scents but it really does help relax and refresh yourself. I like to just sniff it when I feel a little anxious, and it clears your mind in the freshest way!

Finally, I have a pretty scent that I like to carry around. Recently, I have fallen head-over-heels for the Fresh Hesperides Grapefruit fragrance. I have since been trying to get a hold of it, but it seems to be sold out each and every time I am at Sephora. I am hoping to catch a VIB sale soon at the same time this is back in stock so I can purchase it with some discount. On one note though, I do NOT recommend a rollerball. I never quite understand the likes of it. It isn't hygienic at all, and times when you are wearing something and some fuzz of your sweater, say, is on your skin, then as you roll this over that, it'll eat up the fuzz as well. Soon or later, you'll have this liquid perfume full of little fuzzes collected from rolling it on your skin throughout the day. Perhaps you're only supposed to apply this after a shower? But then, what's the point of carrying it around! Anyway, next time I'm getting this, I will purchase it as a spray. But by all means, this is the prettiest, freshest, most feminine smelling stuff ever! It truly is light and clean, fresh and ever so pretty. I don't have anything like it, and I am in absolute love with it.

I sometimes chuck them into my bag carelessly, while other times, I'll put them in my Tory Burch makeup pouch. I, however, usually carry more than these four-- makeup bits of course.

What's in my Makeup Pouch

An unedited version of "What's in my Makeup Bag" meaning, there's going to be random bits. The reason why I left it unedited was because the things that go inside my makeup bag depends day to day. Lipsticks always change. Face powders change as well. Some days I'll add a mascara, or a blush. Other days, I probably just have a hand cream in it. So, that being said- this video is more to show you my beautiful makeup bag that I got from Tory Burch (ON SALE!) then anything else :)


I've been wanting a Tory Burch bag for so long, but whatever I wanted was either sold out or not on sale- and when these things are not on sale, they are pretty pricey. I love the medium sized ones, and luckily I found this mint/aqua green striped makeup bag at Bloomingdales. One left. On sale. So, of course, I picked it up.

Here's what inside:


The list:
Elizabeth Arden 8hr Cream
Jurlique Jasmine Hand Cream
Jouer Mineral Powder in Perle Naturel
Burberry Lip Mist in Copper 202
MAC Tart & Trendy lipstick
Starbucks mints
Maybelline Age Eraser for Dark Circles
Travelo
Honest Lip Balm
