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.
     
    Herbal Essences Hello Hydration 2 in 1 Moisturizing Shampoo + Conditioner, $4, drugstore.com

    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!
     

    Neutrogena Wet Skin Sunblock Spray (SPF 30), $8, drugstore.com

    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! 
     
    CoverGirl LashBlast Waterproof Volume Mascara in Very Black, $6, drugstore.com
  • 9venus.jpg

    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!
     
     Gillette Venus Breeze, Razor Plus Shave Gel Bars, $11, drugstore.com
  • 10eyeliner.jpg

    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.

Okay, so I feel like an awful friend. My friend, let's call her Z, has just decided recently that she's going to be anorexic and now is. I'm trying to help her, telling her that you can die from that, but she has such low self-esteem that she just doesn't care and would do anything just to lose 5 pounds. I told her that she needs to get help from her parents and that if she didn't tell them, I would, but she said if I told anyone our friendship would be over. How do I help my friend? I know that in the end, I should tell her parents her situation and that I'm helping her, so she needs to understand that. I'm really sorry for the length, I just need to get my thoughts out there. How should I help her? Thanks in advance and PLEASE answer fast!

 

Hey girl! Tell her parents.  It may ruin your friendship for a little while, but in the end you are saving your friend's life, and that's more important.  Tell her parents, your parents, or another adult who knows you both.  She might not realize how much you're helping, but you'll know it was the right thing to do. xoxo

Okay, so I'm really nervous for Junior High/Middle School. This summer, I've made a LOT of new friends from different schools that will go to the same school as me in the new school year. The neighborhood I live in is really fashionable and wealthy and all the girls walk out of school looking like they were going to a fashion show, not school. I'm nervous about what fashion, and friends I'm going to have. I need help feeling more self-confident! Thanks in advance, please help me feel more self-confident and making new friends!

 

Hey girl! You've already made new friend who are going to your school, so don't worry about that!  Get together with some of your new pals and have everyone go through each other's clothes to pick out the perfect BTS outfit.  That way, you're bonding AND deciding what to wear.  xoxo

i asked a question half an hour ago and it still hasn't shown up on the comments, do you know why?

 

Hey girl! We're super busy today, so we're moving pretty slowly through the comments.  We've probably answered your question by now! xoxo

Hey Everyone!
Just a tip from one makeup guru to another... While I love CoverGirl with my whole heart (my fav is LashBlast Luxe... mega awesome eyelashes with subtle sparkle), their waterproof mascara is not the best I've seen. If you want to try a really good one, try Urban Decay's Cannonball: Ultra-waterproof mascara. This is slightly more expensive as it is a very nice brand ($20 per tube), it is awesome and, unlike many waterproof mascaras, still gives you oomph while protecting you from looking like a racoon! It is especially good for beaches. Happy Summer dolls!
