67 days. That’s how many days I have to wait until my next overseas adventure.
I’m so incredibly excited to journey across some of Europe’s most breathtaking countries and make lasting memories. In the weeks leading up to a holiday, I start to make mental notes on everything I need to buy, whether it be big or small, in order to make my trip easy and enjoyable. I’m sure everyone has had the dilemma of not knowing which beauty products to pack (no, you can’t really take your whole beauty cupboard with you), so today I thought I would share with you some travel essentials and tips on packing!
The first thing you need to do is sort out which products you REALLY need, and which products can stay at home. This really depends what type of holiday you’re going on, and where. For my last overseas holiday, I was lucky enough to venture to Bali for two weeks. As I was in a tropical, hot environment I knew I wouldn’t need a heavy foundation or anything like eyeliner or contour products. For a summer holiday, you want to take a face product that works well with heat and humidity, such as a BB cream or tinted moisturiser … You can also throw in some waterproof mascara and your favourite lip gloss. You can see all four of my travel blogs from my Bali adventure here, here, here and here! If I have given you some sudden inspiration to take a trip to the tropical paradise that is Bali, why not check out The Luxe Nomad, which offers amazing Villas all throughout the country.
What I believe is most important when packing for a holiday, however, is skincare products. It’s so important to take care of your skin every day of the year, so make sure you don’t slack off just because you are on holidays. When you are outside everyday soaking up the sunrays and loving life, you’re skin may not be loving it as much as you are. If you moisturise and hydrate your skin every day and night though, you will be radiating with beautiful sun-kissed skin! In saying this, you don’t want to be packing 5 different big bottles of moisturisers, night creams, sunscreen etc. There are a lot of amazing travel packs out there that are designed especially to keep your skin looking it’s best whilst on holidays, while also being conveniently sized.
I recently came across this travel set from Alpha-H which is absolutely PERFECT for any holiday! This is the liquid gold discovery collection, which includes 5 travel-sized products to keep your skin looking and feeling incredible. This set includes a balancing cleanser, a liquid gold serum, an intensive night repair serum, a perfecting daywear cream, and an essential hydration cream. Let me just tell you, all of these products feel so incredibly soft and beautiful on my skin, and I can tell how much hydration they are putting back into my skin at the end of the day. A few of these products contain Glycolic acid as well, which is great in evening out your skin tone, and firming your skin. This is hands down the best travel pack I have seen for beautiful hydrated skin! You can grab this set and explore heaps of other travel sets from Luxola by clicking here, and if you use the code BLX-JEMMROSE you can even get 15% off, YAY! P.S Mother’s day is right around the corner, and this would be such a perfect gift idea.
