When it comes to vacation packing, I take the contents of my traveling beauty bag very seriously. When I’ve got limited space to pack, and know I’m going to want to look glam for my vacation photo opps, I have to choose the products I pack wisely. Here are just some of the items I brought with me, and why I love them.  

Urban Decay Spring and Summer 2018 Launches – Naked Petite Heat Palette, Hi Fi Shine Lip Glosses and Double Team Special Effects Mascara

I’ve made it known on many occasions, how much I love my Urban Decay products. My latest loves, and brand spanking new, the Naked Petite Heat Palette, Double Team Special Effects Mascara, and Hi Fi Shine Lip Glosses brought me so much joy to play with. These are the color products that were featured in many of my looks.

Freeze 24-7 Coconut Mask

Travel in general can wreak havoc on my skin. Factor in the fact that I went from the dry and frigid NYC climate to the hot and humid temps of the Caribbean, and I had a recipe for disaster. Enter the Freeze 24-7 Coconut Intense Hydrating Face Mask, which not only delivered a cool blast of dewy moisture to my stressed out skin, but also channeled some serious island vibes with its delicious scent. 

Cargo Cosmetics Big Bronzer

Getting some authentic sunshine is great and all, but baking in the sun is one thing I just don’t like to do. For that reason, a good bronzer is key to my look, and Cargo’s Big Bronzer delivers just the right amount of sun-kissed glow to my visage, without being over-the-top obvious.  

Jane Iredale Mystikol Powdered Eye Liner

I love versatility in an eye product, and that is exactly what I got with Jane Iredale’s newest jewel-toned mystikol liners. The built-in-brush applied the creamy, vibrant colors to line my lids beautifully, while also serving as a colorful base for some of my more creative eye looks.
