What's In My Travel Toiletries Bag? | Travel Tips

-
So I am heading away to America the start of June for a month, now while I want to spend each day exploring, I still want to look decent and somewhat photo ready. I have a skin regime but deciding how much of it to take and that I'll actually use, is the dilemma.



I separate my items based on their area of use as you'll see below. Here's a breakdown of what I'm taking;

Skin Items (1)
Neutrogena cleanser
Triology Rosehip Oil
Eye cream
Bioderma Micellear Solution
Swippers Round Cotton Pads
Simple Face Makeup Remover Wipes
Tea Tree Gel
Beauty Blender Clenser
Body Items (2)
Shower gel
Body Lotion
Toothbrush with Steripod
Toothpaste
Anti perspriant deodorant
Versace Bright Crystal perfume
Hand Creme
Cotton Buds
Nail file



Hair Items (3)
Batise Dry Shampoo
Travel sized Hair Shampoo & Conditioner
Comb
Sock bun and hair tie
Spare bobby pins


The case is use is a tall rectangle plastic case with a zip closure through the middle. Inside it has two large plastic compartments, making it great to wipe down. One side has the body items and the other has skin and hair items.


Seeing as though most of my skin items could leak, I'd rather they did on their own then with the hair items. This works out perfectly for me. I always put lotion items with a cap in a plastic bag to try and contain leaks (if this were to ever happen to me). For my items with a screw lid, I place cling wrap over the opening and secure the lid back on. If you have any suggestions let me know!

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...
