Just so ya know . . .

That being said, you all know that I only promote products that I personally use, love, and feel good about the way it was produced. Now lets get to the good stuff.
So, unless you’re a Disney Princess, or an Instagram model with a team that follows you around doing touch ups and fluffing your dress, then it’s pretty freaking hard to slay while traveling, especially if you’re back packing. In the olden days a trip abroad meant you got two free giant suitcases, plus a carry on, and a personal item. HA, those were the good days. Most airlines now only allow you one bag and on many budget airlines, you even have to pay for that. With space and weight being so limited we have to pack smarter than ever before, I’m talking as few products as possible that can truly DO IT ALL. Because I may not be a Disney Princess, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to look like one, BUT I would also rather spend more money on vacay wine and less on luggage! Ya feel me?
All that being said, here is my ultimate list for the best travel beauty products.
First Up is SKIN CARE, because a great base is everything and my faces tends to go a little crazy on the road.
This cleanser is gentle and so effective, plus is never dries out my skin. I just rub it in between my hands for a bit to warm it up and let it melt and then I massage it into my face and let it do it’s job. Afterwards I wipe it off with these reusable face wipes, because the world doesn’t need me using 50 million baby wipes.
Ya’ll the Drops of Youth, Youth Liquid Peel is absolutely revolutionary. I honestly can’t properly describe how much I love this stuff. I mean it takes 20-30 seconds and 1 pump every few days and works as well as any facial I have ever had at removing my dry, flakey skin. It leaves you feeling SO clean and SO renewed. The only down side is, that the packing you buy it in isn’t super travel friendly, given the size, so I always put it in a smaller container to throw in my bag.
From the first night I used the Drops of Youth, Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask I was totally HOOKED. I mean my face felt totally new after using the Liquid Peel and then I followed it up with this bad boy and holy moly, I straight up felt like a Maybelline ad. Now that I’ve been using this duo for a few weeks my whole face has truly changed. Gone are the days of embarrassing flakes. My skin is all kinds of bouncy now! (I also put this in a travel container for trips because the jar is heavy as junk)
ZZZZ ZZZZ, the Foreo Luna Play is one of my absolute favorite skin care products. It’s under 50 USD, and beats out any other facial tool I’ve use. Plus, I’ve had it for over 2 years and I’ve never had to change the batteries, oh and it is light as can be! A great face of makeup begins at the skin and this gets mine so squeaky clean.
Next up is my beauty routine and when I’m on the road, I am a HUGE FAN of Wander Beauty. They have tons of award-winning, on-the-go beauty and skincare essentials to fit your busy lifestyle, and these are just a few of my FAVES. When I’m traveling, I want my makeup to be simple, as in easy, long lasting and completely flawless - Wander Beauty helps me do just that! And not only are their products compact and oh, so, versatile, they are also cruelty-free and made of good for you ingredients. I love when everyone wins!
So for my base, I use the Flash Focus Hydrating Foundation in the shade Golden Medium. It only takes a few swipes to get a medium to full coverage look and it lasts all day, even when I find myself on a hot train or exploring around.
I love the Flash Focus Hydrating Foundation Stick in the shade ‘Deep’ for contouring, and sometimes as an eye shadow. It glides on like a dream and buffs so beautifully into the foundation.
The On-the-Glow Blush and Illuminator in Coral Rose/Nude is my absolute ride or die. In one stick you have a highlighter and blush. I also use the highlighter as my eyelid primer before my shadow and the blush often becomes my lip gloss.
I own a ton of eye shadow palettes, but this one is amazing for the road because of its portability and usability. Often palettes will have several colors that I never end up touching, but not this one. Every single shade is gorgeous and can be used to compliment each other. Plus, I can’t think of a single skin tone that these colors wouldn’t look great on!
These products are 100% awesome enough to use them on a daily basis, but I usually reserve them for my travel kit simply because they’re so damn convenient. So, if you’re planning a big trip, or maybe even a honeymoon, these are definitely products I would check out. And if you’re new to Wander Beauty, you can sign up for their newsletter (on their website) and receive 15% off your first order.
