Universal Travel Outfit | Travel Tips

-
Welcome to my Travel Tip Series. I wanted to create a series of tips and ideas that'll suit anyone, any time of the year, on any budget, for any length of time away on holiday.

I'd admit it seems 'odd' that there is wrong outfit to wear travelling, but you'll be surprised at what some people wear. Some dress as though they are walking down the runway of a fashion parade whilst others in Ugg boots as though they are ready for bed!!

My first tip is to consider the weather and your plans when you arrive at your destination. A lightweight cardian is easier to translate into the opposite weather and to transport around compared to a jacket and will be sufficient for the short time not indoors.

Whether you are flying for 8 hours or taking a 3 hour road trip the important key is comfort. Wear clothes that are comfortable and aren't restricting. This can be done in layers. Cardigan over long sleeve shirt over singlet with a scarf using your more stylish pieces. These pieces are lightweight can be removed/ added as required with no extra stress on you.

This is the best opportunity to wear your chunkiest items to save more room in your carry on or checked luggage. Keeping the weather in mind, women may want to wear wedges or boots and a knitted top/ cardigan and men may want to wear their chunky sneakers or best dress shoes and jacket. Though I know wedges for example may not be everyones cup of tea.

Universal Outfit
  • Tshirt or tank
  • Lightweight long sleeved cardigan or knit or button down
  • Comfortable walking shoes such as easy slip ons (both), short or long boots, ballet flats or easy slip on sandals
  • Long scarf - adds warmth, can be a blanket or cover up pillow, eye mask etc
  • Hair- I assume a lot of men have short hair, so for women a style that is pinned away from the face in an easy to maintain style. A ponytail or bun are classic examples
  • Accessories- up to the individual. Remember the more metal worn, such as belts, is more that has to be removed when going through security. If it's valuable that you can't afford to loose, leave it at home
  • Makeup- minimal, your skin needs to breathe. You can always apply makeup 45 minutes from landing

Adjust the above key elements to suit your style and wardrobe and you'll be set for your trip.

Innoxa Organic Brightening Eye Creme

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Benefit Benetint

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
