hi everyone! travel season has begun so i thought i would give you a little (very little) video on how to pack the essentials in only two glossier TSA safe pouches! UPDATE: re-uploaded because i decided i liked the clicking asmr-ish sounds
the glossier pouches are really good for travel because not only are they see-thru (good for liquids at customs etc) they also have bubble wrap built in so fragile products won’t break! even better? they double as a sunglasses case
ok so! here’s the product rundown & why i chose these things! this would be ideal for a 3-7 day trip. a trip longer than that i’d bring more stuff of course!
SKIN CARE
cleanser: milky jelly by glossier – my ride or die; you didn’t see me put it into a little travel bottle by the end but that’s what i do!
toner: mini mini mario badescu facial spray with aloe herbs & rose water (also not pictured because i forgot to put it in the picture whoops!
serum: glossier super glow – a little goes a long way, & it tightens my pores, reduces breakouts, & of course makes you glow (long term use fades hyperpigmentation
moisturizer: mario badescu honey moisturizer – smells good, comes in a small bottle, & is moisturizing but not heavy. it’s great for summer!
SUNSCREEN(!): glossier invisible shield. this is a chemical sunscreen so it leaves no white cast, & it is super lightweight so it wouldn’t make me sweaty or greasy in the sun. it’s amazing for daily use n i highly recommend it! a lot of controversy about this product but i really do like it, & so does my skin
mask: travel size of origins retexturizing mask with rose clay – this is amazing because although it it’s a clay mask & supposed to retexturize (which it does) it also reduces redness & makes my skin much much softer
spot treatment: origins super spot remover – holy grail of spot treatments; this one really makes blemishes go away overnight it is absolutely incredible & not too dry or harsh
headband: glossier – it’s an essential for me wherever i go because my hair always gets in the way when i’m doing my skin care!
MAKEUP
face: i don’t take foundation when i go for a short trip because it’s a big bother; i just pack glossier stretch concealer in light & nars radiant creamy concealer in chantilly. they work very nicely if you pat them into places you want evened out, then buff it out with a brush. effortless for summer!
mascara: diorshow original – i was shocked at how good this is; i bought it because bella hadid is the brand ambassador & i have been seeing it a lot lately; it’s only $3 more than the benefit mascaras which i thought were my holy grail before i discovered this one!
eye shadow: i just bring one eyeshadow, & it’s the colourpop super shock shadow in bubbly. it’s a lovely glittery pink & i like just using my fingers to smear it over my lid, crease etc. it’s a messy, cute, summer look & i love it paired with mascara!
brows: glossier boy brow (need i say more? i packed it in brown but for a hotter place i’d take clear if i wanted to look absolutely makeup free)
lip balm/stick(?): dior lip glow – this gives just a tint of color to your lips; a slight rosy pink. it’s really moisturizing & great when you layer a gloss over top!
lipstick: glossier generation g in cake – this is a super pale nude shade & isn’t for darker skinned women because of that. but it works on my very pale skin really nicely & is very moisturizing, so i’m not obligated to put on a balm beforehand. it also works amazingly as a little cheek tint! (for darker skinned WOC: use the generation g in leo, it’s also a nude, just darker!)
gloss: buxom lip cream in white russian – this is a cult fav & i love it so much! it makes my lips plumper but doesn’t look overdone & the mint is surprisingly good for someone like me who usually doesn’t enjoy minty products on their lips!
nail polish: essie gel effect in hold the position; this is a super cute springy/summery polish & is so glossy! it lasts a good many days, too
fragrance: viktor & rolf flowerbomb roller ball – i don’t love it that much that i’d get the full size but it is a lovely floral scent! no complaints i just don’t like it enough to get full size
scrunchie/sunnies: urban outfitters!
