Travel Skincare

I am back from vacation... womp, womp.  But it is what it is.  So before unpacking I thought I would show you guys what I brought for skincare.  I was pretty minimalistic since I wanted to mainly focus on using the Malin + Goetz items (review coming next week).   I love to bring along deluxe sized samples when traveling.  It is the perfect time to try them out.   

I hate not knowing what brand of haircare a hotel uses so I always bring my own.  This trip I used the Malin + Goetz Peppermint Shampoo and Cilantro Conditioner.  Absolutely love!  I also used the Malin + Goetz Grapefruit Cleanser.  It did the job but, I wasn't really impressed.  For moisturizer I brought two the Malin + Goetz  Vitamin E moisturizer and the Caudalie La Creme.  I used La Creme was so moisturizing.  I kinda feel in love with it.  And of course to take my makeup off I brought along the Clarins Gentle Eye Makeup Remover.  Love this to take my eye makeup off.  It isn't too oily which is also amazing. 

Will you be traveling this summer ??  If so what do you want to bring with you ??

Weekend Makeup Essentials !

Pretty much every weekend for the past 2 or so years I have stayed at my boyfriends.  This has given an innate ability to pack only the essentials.  I have learned the hard way not to over pack.  I bring the basics of what I need and nothing else.  

I have been loving these two mini's I received from Sephora (6).  The Caudalie serum smells great and has a wonderful texture and the Ultra Repair Cream from First Aid Beauty has keep my hideously dry skin moisturized.  The YSL Touche Eclat foundation (5) is a winter must have.  It is nice and light, but it gives great coverage.  The Beauty Blender (8) is a must have for any girl who loves foundation.  It makes putting your foundation on a whole lot easier!  I just went and picked up another Maybelline Dream Lumi concealer (4) because I love it so much!  I love the radiant shade and how it makes my under eye area so bright and awake looking.  

I shied away from bronzer for the beginning part of winter but I needed it back in my life.  I love using the Sigma E40 brush (2)  with my Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer (7).  Another brush I have been loving is the Tom Ford Cheek brush (1).  If you have a bit of money burning a hole in your pocket than I suggest picking this bad boy up!  Sephora's Orange Pop blush (11) gives me a beautiful pop of color on my cheeks.  It is a nice matte shade, which makes me love it more.  Now if you are looking for a new highlighter than I would suggest getting The Balm's Mary-Lou Manizer (10).  It has the creamiest of textures and gives you a dazzling glow.  

I normally don't bring any eyeshadow with me, because it can be a little bit to bulky.  I just bring a mascara sample that I am working through and this week it happens to be Laura Mercier's Full Blown mascara (9).  And lets not forget about eyebrows.  On a whim last week I picked up Anastasia's Brow Whiz (3) and oh meh gud!! it is a god send.  I never thought I would enjoy it, but I truly do.  And lastly I have been loving a dark lip, so of course I brought along my trusty Chanel Glossimer in Crushed Cherry (12).  

What are your weekend makeup essentials ??
