Everybody has their favorite makup items. But how many favorites do you have? What items would cause panic if you arrived at your trip and started unpacking to find you had forgotten your mascara or your eyecream or some other must-have beauty product.
I have to have my gentle skin cleanser to wash away the makeup. No way can I use hotel soap for that. And we should never go anywhere without our sunscreen - ideally one that can double as a moisturizer. Traveling is likely to cause those litte bags and dark circles under the eye so we better not forget the eye cream. If we don’t wear any other makeup, we all run for the mascara before we show our face in public. And for those of us who do not have a perfect complexion, we need a foundation and/or concealer to cover those flaws. Speaking of flaws, eye cream is not enough to cover the dark circles after a night on the town so we better not forget that eye brightener/concealer. Don’t forget the lips. We always carry at least lip gloss to keep our lips shiny and soft.
Besides the face, we have to take care of our hair. The hotel may have shampoo and a blow dryer to get us through but we need mousse to shape and style our hair and hairspray to keep it in place.
Last , but not least, I need my body lotion. Those hotel body lotions rarely have a good creamy moisturizing lotion and sometimes the smell just doesn’t do it for me.
Now the trick is to get all of this into that silly little one quart plastic bag so we can make it through security!
