If there’s one way I love to spend my time, it’s traveling. I love everything about it. Getting out of your comfort zone to discover a new culture is just so incredible and it’s something everyone should experience!
Every year I make a point to head out of town and experience something new.
Last year, Jeremy and I went to Cuba and loved it. This year though, we debated over many destinations and finally landed in France.
I am so excited to be traveling to France for the very first time. It’s always been a dream of mine to explore France, experience Paris, see the countryside, visit Normandy, and now it’s all finally happening!
Since I am going away so soon, travel and packing have been a hot topic in my mind.
The truth is that the one thing that always proves tricky when travelling abroad is what exactly to pack – and more specifically, what to pack in our beauty bags.
It’s hard to narrow down our favourite products and skincare without second guessing ourselves.
Since I am a type-A personality, I pretty much have my beauty bag packed – and our trip is two weeks away. Today I am sharing my 10 Travel Beauty Essentials that ALWAYS make the cut when I head off travelling.

Top 10 Travel Beauty Products
SPF Foundation
SPF Lipbalm
Sunscreen
Two Lip Colour Options

Great tips! I’m a big fan of packing kits like the Urban Decay On the Run palette since it has most of what you need in one package!

I really love this guide of yours and its perfect for me. Nice explanation and you have pointed out some valid points exceptionally well. I usually travel around Asian
countries and the sun here is different than western countries. Though I have my own kits, I love reading tips and articles like these because I’m learning new things.
Thanks for this!
this is awesome! I have been looking for skin care for a while and I will try those skin care immediately!
