Vacation, Travel cosmetics

A makeup kit is the most versatile way to save space in your suitcase. Many brands offer to buy palettes containing powder, blush, eyeshadow, lip glosses or lipsticks, mascara and even eyeliner.

Most often, the shades are collected in such a way that they can be easily combined and converted from daytime to evening makeup with one set. You just have to find the one where your favorite colors and textures are collected.

Between powder and foundation, it is better to choose the second option with SPF, which will not only create the perfect tone, but also protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun. Do not forget about the base for eye makeup: in hot countries, shadows and eyeliner may not cope with the temperature and provide you with “panda circles” under your eyes.

If you cannot part with your cream or shampoo and conditioner even for a day, and the volume of your favorite products is no less than 250 ml, you should think about travel kits. Cosmetic brands offer small empty bottles with different dispensers that you can pour your favorite product into.

If your favorite fragrance is not presented in stores in a mini-format, the issue is even easier to solve: a few years ago, small bottles appeared on the cosmetic market – atomizers, which are specially designed for filling and storing perfumes. The volume of bottles is from 5 to 15 ml.

If you have favorite shades of eyeshadow that are in different sets, buy a replacement blank palette and transfer them to the unit.

No vacation goes by without sunscreen. Do not neglect the protection, otherwise you can at least get an uneven shade and burnt skin.

Sunscreens can be lotion, spray, milk or gel, and there are two types of products – those that protect from the sun and others that allow the skin to acquire a bronze tan in a short time.

For the face and décolleté, you need to choose products with maximum protection: the inscription SPF 50 does not prepare you not to tan. Thanks to a special complex, the tan will lie down gently without damaging the skin. The version with means for intensive tanning, with a small protective filter, is suitable for legs or for sunbathing under an umbrella.

Before the vacation, of course, you went to the salon or did a summer-style manicure and pedicure at home. But do not forget that at the most inopportune moment the nail can catch on, or the varnish after swimming in the sea can move away along the edges.

The most versatile nail polish in a cosmetic bag is a nail file, cuticle remover and travel nail polish remover. Also, ideally, it is better to choose delicate shades of varnish, so if you ruin your perfect manicure on one nail, it will be invisible.

You can use special wet wipes to remove make-up, but do not forget that after that, it is imperative to moisturize the skin. Many brands present travel kits containing all the essentials: shampoo, conditioner, body cream and makeup remover.

There is no need to choose between toner and moisturizer or give up the thermal spray for your hair – you will need each product on vacation.

Instead of half-liter bottles, you can take a set in pretty cosmetic bags, which will take up little space in your suitcase. Let us remind you that no more than 100 ml of any liquids are allowed in hand luggage, so it is better to check in your suitcase.
