Travel Light: Must-Have Makeup for Your Summer Getaway

,

Are you getting primed for a big ole vacation adventure this Summer?

I love thinking about traveling.  Planning a vacay.  Booking it.  We’re heading for a two nice getaways this Summer (Mexico and Hawaii).  I’m obsessed with planning what clothes I’ll wear, what suitcases I’ll use, what I’ll carry on the plane, my travel outfit, to name just a few things I obsess about that get me almost as excited as the vacay itself.

One thing I worry about though is my make-up.  I love what I love and want to take all that I love with me.  But, that’s not practical.  I like traveling light!!!  So, I started to google combo travel pallets and other multi-use products and ways to organize all of it.

Here’s the first little item that gave me a sense of joy and excitement about our upcoming trips!

theBalm Balm Voyage 2 Palette

https://amzn.to/3VEf4VX   I first heard about The Balm Cosmetics line because Kyle Richards said she’s been using their Bahama Mama Blush for years.  That got me interested.

I love this company’s packaging and sense of humor.  Not to mention the price.  Amazon has a sale too, 5% off, when I checked today.  You can’t beat $24.70 (today’s price) and the portability.  Shadow, blush, highlighter, bronzer and lip gloss all in one!!!!  I love the names of everything too, which is “Welcome” in various languages.  It’s not often you see a gaelic word to describe an eye shadow.  The shadows are so varied, they will take you from day to night and should work with just about any skin tone.

Also, you can’t beat Elf Cosmetics for affordable, high quality make up.  Here’s two I love:

1).  e.l.f. Monochromatic Multi Stick, Luxuriously Creamy & Blendable Color, For Eyes, Lips & Cheeks, Glimmering Guava, 0.155 Oz (4.4g). https://amzn.to/4cobTsM   (This one’s especially beautiful as a cream eye shadow!)

2).  This is a light, buildable foundation that is super awesome for hot weather.  It’s surprisingly lasting in the heat and humidity and soothing for older skin!

What am I going to keep all these beauties in and accessible on my flights???  This is the most amazing travel backpack you will ever find!  It’s truly 5 start worthy.  Love it!
