Packing for Vacation
I am leaving in two days to go on a short vacation to visit some family in the prairies. Since it is a low key family visit with no grand plans (no family reunions, weddings, or anniversaries this time) I wanted to pack light but still look my best.
On Sunday I picked up a travel cosmetic container set at the dollarama and today I started to pack up my essentials for my visit.
Everything:
wow that is a lot of stuff. Let us break it down.
Skin Care:
- Marcelle: Hydra-C Radiance - Facial Exfolianting Gel - 1oz
- Marcelle: Hydra-C Radiance - Facial Cleansing Gel - 1oz
- I got these a while back at a Suzy Shier/Lou Lou Magazine event. I've been using it the last little while, but was trying to save it for the trip.
- Avon: Planet Spa Greek Seas - Soothing Eye Treatment - 0.5oz
- Mac: Cleanse Off Oil - I poured some into a travel bottle from the dollarama kit
- Jounee: Bio-restorative Day Cream PSP - SPF 30+ - 0.5OZ
- I got this in an ELF special kit, it was supposed to be a 1oz bottle but they lied (they did, I was also supposed to get other items with the kit that didn't come). It is an ok day cream, it is a good size for travel.
- Mac: Fix+ - 30ml bottle
- I refilled my little bottle of Fix+ with some from my big one.
- Mark: Get a Tint Tinted Moisturizer Lotion SPF 15
- I put some of this into the larger tub from the dollarama kit
- Avon: Solutions Maximum Moisture Hydrating Booster Serum
- I pumped a bit of this into the smaller tub from the dollarama kit
Shower & Hair:
I put these things into little zip bags that I got at dollarama. I wanted to prevent any leaking.
Bag on the Left -- Hair accessories
- Clear disposable hair elastics
- 4 hair clips
- stay put head band
Bag in the Middle -- Body
- The Body Shop: Mango Shower Gel - 2oz/60ml
- Mary Kay: Lotus & Bamboo Nourishing Body Lotion - 1oz/20ml
Bag on the Right -- Hair
- Garnier: Fructis Sleek & Shine Conditioner - I filled one of the larger squirt bottles from the kit
- Mark: Mega Volume Next Day Spray - I filled the spray bottle from the kit with this. I love it!
Brushes:
So I wanted to bring my smaller brushes with me and not too many.
Top to bottom:
- Quo Fluffy Shadow Brush
- Generic conclealer/cream eyeshadow brush
- Mac 197SE
- Mac 227SH
- Posh Mini Powder brush from a travel kit.

They all fit neatly in a tiny little red mac brush bag.
Makeup:
- Clinique: Lash Doubling Macara - travel size

- I've had this for a while, it is 6 purple shades that I love
- CoverFX: Skin Prep
- I packed it with the face stuff for leakage reasons
- Kett Sett Powder
Note: I didn't pack a blush or eyeprimer, ugggh. Now I have to find some and toss them in
All packed up...with toothpaste, brush and floss too! Can't forget those things.
In Flight Goodies:
You always need to bring some goodies for in flight.
- Blistex Silk and Shine
- Rimmel Shine Temptations in Foxy.
- My fav lipstick of all time that is always in my purse (discontinued, sigh)
- Clinique Happy Heart Purfume Roll On with Pink Bamboo Lipgloss on the other side.
- Motrum
- Ok I refilled it with Advil, but it is a good travel bottle and if you get headaches when the presure changes or if anything else can set you off it is good to have with you all the time.
- Arbonne - Ultra-hydrating Hand Cream -15 ml
- Jerky
- I got this at the dollarama. Jerky for the flight will give me protein and hold me over at my riducsly early flight. I hate paying the crazy flight prices for food. The whole pack has 70 cals, 0.4 g fat!!!! Great pick me up
- Dad's Oatmeal Cookie - 2 pack
- Great pick me up as well. Only 3 Weight Watcher's points for me, so always good to have on hand.
- Elle October Issue
- Just got it in the mail. Must keep brain occupied on flight.
- CoverFx BrightPrep
- I wont be bringing this on the flight with me, but it will be on my skin! I read that when flying you are exposed to much more UVA/UVB rays because of the altitude (you are also exposed to more radiation), so I want to protect my skin before flying.
Pretty much these cosmetic things are always in my purse, I need to bring them with on the flight.
