Traveling can be quite restrictive when it comes to your
beauty regimen. I used to travel
frequently by plane, so, of course the experience definitely teaches you a few
things. Here is a comparative guide to
traveling by plane and car and how to decide what to include depending on your
mode of travel.
A few beginner’s tips:
Travel sizes are your friend, as well as cleaned
sample containers and travel containers depending on the duration of your trip. The little Sephora containers are my
favorite, easy to open and close and airtight.
Balms are also your friend, the TSA hasn’t banned
balms yet provided they’re not in excess.
If it’s taller, or wider than a quart ziplock bag,
NOPE.
Multitasking items are AWESOME!
Replace the makeup remover or oil cleanser with makeup removing cloths if you're flying, they are one less thing to fill your quart bag with.
Skincare
Consider your regimen, what do you use? What size are the containers in which they
come in? Do you have a sample or travel
size of this product? Can you
effectively use this in a sample container?
Bare
Essentials
·
Cleanser
·
Moisturizer
·
Makeup remover or oil cleanser
·
Eye cream
Makeup
Similar questions to the Skincare, however, here I
recommend carrying mostly powders and balms to keep your quart bag to a
minimum, if you’re traveling by car or train, carry on with your liquids and
gels! Again, travel sizes and samplers
are wonderful for keeping things light.
Bare Essentials
·
Concealer (if it can’t fit, don’t worry too much
about it, optional)
·
Primer (depending on your skin type, this is
optional)
·
BB cream (multitasker, especially if you don’t
take primer)
·
Blush
·
Powder (bronzer, or plain powder, I’m oily and
require this for mattification)
·
Eyeliner
·
Mascara
Anything else such as eyeshadows you can for the most part
go crazy on if it’s a powder, take care with the amount if it’s a cream. I also like you use an eyebrow mousse, but
this can be optional. Lipstick is
similar to chapstick when it comes to the TSA, leave a little room in your
quart bag just in case they say something, they’ll typically leave it be
though. Lipstick over lip gloss in this
instance, gloss will always need to go in the quart bag, we’re trying to keep
this as empty as possible if you’re flying, if you’re driving, again, it’s at
your discretion.
TL;DR
·
Think small
·
Reuse cleaned sample containers
·
If flying, try switching to powders, pencils,
balms, and very dense creams (Stila Convertible Color dense) if possible
·
Multitasking products are a lifesaver
Random Ingredient
Diatomaceous Earth
One of the two substances found in dynamite (cool!) is often used in exfoliating products and toothpaste.
In Technology
12 Small asteroids fairly close to Earth may be our new mines for precious metals by 2021 (I give it 'til 2030). The prospect that we are now actually reaching outside of our planet for resources is very interesting and proof of our progress in technology.
