Pack the perfect vacay beauty bag

Remember Hermione’s carry-all beaded handbag? If only we could carry our entire makeup collection around with us in one classic little black bag this summer! But because we can’t, we’ve created a list of the 10 beauty products you’ll need for any vacation. Everything here should fit into a small, cute cosmetic bag. Pop this into your suitcase and you’ll have more space for everything else (like shoes!).

    1. A cute cosmetics carryall

    We love, love, love this Parisian inspired cosmetic bag! Available in turquoise and pink, this bag easily fits most of your favorite beauty products. The glossy finish also prevents it from getting wet in the bathroom. Score!

    2. 2-in-1 Shampoo + Conditioner

    This 2-in-1 shampoo + conditioner helps you save time in the shower so that you can go out and enjoy the sunshine. Just because you’re short on time doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your hair—this product leaves hair feeling silky and hydrated from oily roots to dry ends. Not only is it easy breezy, it also smells like Hawaii and coconuts in a bottle! Pour some in a travel-size container—you won’t need a ton.

    3. Cleansing cloths

    It’s important to make sure to clean your face thoroughly before slipping into those PJs. These makeup remover wipes completely zap oil, dirt and (even waterproof!) makeup from your face. There’s no need to rinse afterwards. As a plus, it’s oil-free which means it shouldn’t create breakouts, keeping you smooth-faced all summer.

    4. Lip/cheek stain

    While this is a splurge buy, this product is definitely worth it. This mango-tinted stain serves a dual purpose. You can blend it out on your cheeks to create a coral glow or smooth it onto your lips to create that perfect pout! Look sun-kissed and perfectly flushed from sunrise to sunset.

    5. B.B. Creams

    You’ve probably heard all the rage about B.B. creams by this point (read more HERE), but B.B. creams are definitely the perfect product to bring around with you on all your travels. This amazing cream moisturizes, perfects and protects (with SPF 15) your skin. This is a great foundation alternative for ladies on-the-go. It keeps you looking dewy and natural, and it has great staying power in even the most humid and hot days. And believe it or not, your skin will look great after you remove your makeup too!

    6. SPF

    You’ll probably be chillin’ in the sun, but your skin will be scorched without protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays! Make sure to apply sunscreen regularly (read about sunscreen myths HERE). This oil-free sunscreen by Neutrogena is easy to apply and packs SPF 30. To make things even better, you can apply it on wet skin without worrying about it sliding right off!

    7. Highlighting concealer

    If you have trouble with concealers, make sure to check out this relatively new multipurpose concealer from Maybelline. It illuminates as it covers for brighter, beautiful skin. We like patting it around the eyes to brighten dark circles. Blend out on the bridge of your nose, the browbone and even on smile lines for a lovely, luminescent glow. It comes with a brush applicator to make application a breeze.

    8. Waterproof mascara

    This mascara maxes out every little lash to give your gaze that extra kick. The waterproof formula also doesn’t wash off with sweat and water, which means you don’t have to worry about it running down your face!

    9. 2-in-1 razor

    Use this razor to get beach-ready. It also includes a moisturizing bar right against the blade so that you don’t need to bring shaving cream. Shaving has never been so cinchy!

    10. Black liner

    For nights out, you might want to do something a little more special. This waterproof pencil eyeliner by NYX comes in a variety of bold shades from jet black to sunrise blue. Most importantly, because it’s as smooth and creamy as butter, it doesn’t painfully tug on your eyelids for those of you with sensitive skin! Place it on the waterline to make lashes appear fuller or gently smudge it out to create a subtle smoky eye.

Hey wunnerfly made, for eye makeup it may be best to start off small. Try wearing mascara first and see how well you do with that and then you can advance to eyeliner and eyeshadow. Watching someone apply makeup will probably help you more than reading a list of instructions on it, so head to YouTube for some tutorials. Type "applying simple eye makeup" in the search box for good directions. Burts Bees acne solution works well for me so check that out. It has natural stuff like leaves in it, so that might be better for your skin. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I don't know why but around the edges and under my eyes always seem to be red- it always looks like i've been crying or something!!! It's sooo frustrating!! Is there some type of makeup/beauty product that could hide this redness?!?!? Please help!

 

Hey cutie,

First of all, you might not be getting enough sleep! However, if you're getting around 8 hours a day, you may just have allergies that are making your under eyes red. Try placing some light concealer (any brand) underneath your eye that will cancel out the redness. You can put concealing powder on top as well. Talk to your parents/doctor to see if you might have an allergy that is causing this.

Ok, so I've been tryin to be super healthy lately. I've always been fit, I run and lift weights but still have some 'cushion' over what I know could be a six pack lol. So I've been trying to drink more water, eat 3 healthy meals etc but my family is sabatoging me! They get mad when I don't eat dinner if I'm full from healthy foods and they make cookies and cobbler etc. every week, even thoguh theyre 'trying to be healthy' too! Help!!




Hey girlie,

You gotta use your self-control on this one! I know it's not easy but, just because there are cookies and cobbler around does NOT mean you have to eat them. Be firm with your family and tell them that you're full. It's great that you want to get healthy, so stay strong - tell them you ate __ for breakfast, ___ for lunch, and ___ for dinner. Tell them you're working hard to live a healthier life and you need their support. Basically, be honest and firm about your choice to act healthier. As long as you actually are eating a healthy well-balanced diet, feeling full and content is totally possible so they have nothing to worry about. Stay strong and don't cave to the sweets if you don't want to indulge! It's no one's choice but your own Smile
