My Makeup Travel Essentials

my-makeup-travel-essentials

Howdy! And I am not quite sure where “howdy” came from either. Sending you all the positive vibes for a fabulous Tuesday! Yes, I hope it includes some yummy tacos as well! 🙂 That reminds me; I need to get back on my recipe game ASAP. It is has felt way too long, yet so incredibly needed. While I could go on my about my lack of recipe inspiration as of late, let’s talk makeup travel essentials instead. With all of us starting to pick up on our travel again, I feel like we need a refresher on how to pack. Maybe it is just me; although I always feel I overpack!

As a quick heads up, if you want to see me talk about these products LIVE, make sure to join me on the Shop Lit Live app this evening at 7:00 pm EST. It’s become a Tuesday night tradition so you should, absolutely, join in on the FUN!

Back to my makeup travel essentials!

I am gearing this piece more towards Summer travel. Yes, you could take these with you WHENEVER but there is something about the warm Summer months that make you want less plus you may be rocking a gorgeous bronzy glow already. I look at it as a “less is more” approach. First, looking super made up is never a fabulous look to begin with; natural beauty will always take the cake! Second, weighing down our suitcase with items that will most likely NEVER GET USED – speaking from experience here peeps – is always a bit irritating when packing to go home. In case you missed some of my recent blog posts about how to stay fabulous this Summer, coupled with sunscreens that will double as tinted moisturizers and/or primer too, make sure to check them out. Just some other beauty hacks for ya!

Here are some of my tried and true favorites to take along with me this Summer, and why I think they are a must for you to try out as well! Oh, and even better; some of these are part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that is happening now! If you are a Nordstrom cardholder, you have FULL access. If not, no worries; the sale opens next Tuesday, July 27th to the public!
