I’m such a minimalist when it comes to traveling… I want to take as few things with me as I can. Not only because when we fly, I always check my bag and can’t stand all the over-weight charges, but I also hate having to find a place for all of my stuff once we get to our destination. Now, by this, I definitely don’t mean I only bring one pair of underwear and two outfits for a week long stay, but I try (my hardest) not to bring anything that I don’t consider an essential for traveling.
Before you read my list, please understand I am a skeptic. I will try any product at least once, but I am always skeptical of how it will work, or if it will even work for me. If I am recommending you a product, it’s because I have used it for a long time and know it’s worth recommending!
1. Rodan+Fields Enhancements Lash Boost
You guys. This stuff is straight from heaven. It is magic, witchcraft, something from the gods! I had never heard of this stuff this time last year, and now I can’t live without it! I use it every night, and I might lose my mind if I forgot it while traveling.
I started using this little tube of magic in January and my eyelashes have had SIGNIFICANT growth and I get so many compliments on them now. I know I boast that I love being frugal, but this product is MORE than worth the money. It is amazing! And I’ve been using the same tube since January and I don’t see it running out anytime soon…. So, even if it only lasts six months it’s less than $1 per day, and I’d say that’s a damn good deal!
2. Primer!
I swear by the E.L.F. Color Correcting Primer! We take so many photos while traveling and I hate being able to see my pores or blemishes in photos! The E.L.F. Primer is so cheap and works SO well, I couldn’t and wouldn’t travel without it! I also love the POREfessional Primer from Benefit Cosmetics, but it’s a little more pricey than the ELF primer!
3. Your favorite moisturizer! When traveling I always grab my Neutrogena Healthy Defense Moisturizer. I have such sensitive skin, the thought of getting too dry (or too oily) terrifies me. I never have any problems with this moisturizer and it always travels well!
4. Vaseline / 100% Petroleum Jelly
I may or may not be a little crazy by recommending this, but you guys, you can’t beat the basics when traveling. I take the little travel size of vaseline with me every time I travel. To me, vaseline is a classic product that can pretty much help with everything! Swipe a little on your lashes as a conditioner right before bed, put some on your lips, rub a little on your dry cuticles, the possibilities are endless!
5. Clarisonic Mia
Have you caught on that I have problem skin? Well even if you don’t have problem skin, this little tool is amazing! Traveling can be stressful and getting blemishes during travel is NOT something I enjoy. Being in different climates and environments is also one of the biggest things that clogs my pores, so having my Clarisonic with me is super important! The adorable carrying case makes packing it very easy!
6. Rodan + Fields Multi-Function Eye Cream
Traveling = tons of photos, and no one likes seeing under eye bags in those photos! But sensitive skin = even more sensitive eye skin! I have tried a BILLION eye creams. And I’ve found one that doesn’t make my eyes burn and actually helps with the under eye bags AND keeping the wrinkles at bay!
7. Eyebrow/ Face Razor
I know what you’re thinking… This girl is shaving her face… Not quite. I hate waxing, shaving and tweezing while traveling (and all the time). I’ve been using these little face razors for a while now, and they are totally amazing. When traveling, I’d SO MUCH rather spend my days exploring instead of shaving or tweezing, and these razors have allowed me to do that. I was skeptical at first, but the hair certainly grows back slower, thinner, and lighter- mind blown!
8. Travel Size Fragrance.
Everyone enjoys smelling nice, and having a travel size of your favorite scent is always a good idea. I love the Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue for women travel size, and literally never go anywhere without it!
9. Self Tanning Wipes
During the summer months, I love having a little extra color. These wipes are so easy to use and are compact and lightweight, so perfect for traveling! I also really like the Tan Towels Brand Self Tanning Wipes, they are just a little pricier than the L’Oreal wipes. Whenever one of those two fail me, or get a little streaky, OR if I have time to let dry, I reach for my Rodan+Fields Sunless tanner! This tanner has seriously saved me when I got a streaky spray tan and needed a little patching!
10. OGX Argan Oil Dry Oil Spray
If you are anything like me, you like having pretty and healthy hair (who doesn’t?). I 100% credit this spray for keeping my hair looking healthy between cuts! I give it a few sprays in the morning and a few at night, and it has my hair looking AND feeling heavenly. It always finds its way in to my toiletries bag!

I don't go anywhere without my Clairsonic Mia! I hate to skip a day. It's an essential part of my shower routine.
Vaseline is a serious life saver in so many situations! My go to travel item is tea tree face wipes from trader joes!
I can't go anywhere without my Dermalogica moisturizer! Such great suggestions.

I've actually never really tried any of these products other than the Clarisonic. It's definitely been an essential beauty tool for me though.
I've never heard of the Rodan&Fields lash boost but you may have just sold me on it girl!

I love my clarisonic! And I love getting travel size perfumes – they are so great to bring everywhere!
Vaseline is probably the most useful thing ever. It's great for anything dry (except your hair) plus it's perfect for lighting a fire in case of emergency (like your car breaking down)

They can't change our compensation or take it away. In the event that by chance they converge with another organization, that organization needs to respect our salary or the merger can not occur. Too often individuals have contributed long periods of diligent work just to have an organization switch things up and either diminish or even dispose of their salary. With YTB, that can't occur.tiny travel trailers for sale

Thank you for sharing.
Hello! Someone in my Facebook group shared this site
with us so I came to give it a look. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m book-marking and will
be tweeting this to my followers! Superb blog
and superb style and design.
My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less.
I’ve been using WordPress on a number of websites for about
a year and am worried about switching to another platform.
I have heard very good things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts
into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I was suggested this website by my cousin. I’m not sure
whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my trouble.
You’re wonderful! Thanks!
