Packing List: The In-Air Essentials


I'm a pretty frequent traveler, but no matter how often I get ready to set sail, I can't seem to pull it together. This trip, though, I'm turning over a new leaf and I'm hereby creating a beauty essential list for my second foray to the land of Evita:


Brambleberry Rose Lip Balm by Rosebud Salve ($7)
It may seem silly to put my all-time, hands down fave on a packing checklist, but believe me when I tell you that I've forgotten this emollient essential on more than one occasion. Plus a new trip calls for a new formulation-this limited edition, Sephora exclusive imparts a subtle sweet scent while salving me double time like the old-standby.


Juice Beauty SPF 30 Mineral Sheer Moisturizer ($29)
Organic, vitamin-packed and uber-hydrating, what else could a traveling girl ask for in a face cream? Well, how about a security-friendly size (helloooo, two tiny ounces) and some serious SPF (this bad boy's got a number 30). Bet you didn't know this, but being in the friendly skies *actually *ups your sun exposure, you are closer to that burning orb, which means anything less
than 30 is negligible.


Korres Milk Proteins Cleansing & Demake Up Wipes For All Skin Types ($12)
Unlike the other pre-moistened, alcohol-based cleansing clothes, these feature seriously hydrating proteins that plump and moisten travel-parched and slackening skin. Plus the toss-and-go aspect means no having to use the questionable plane water sources.


Lorac Sheer Wash, Travel in Sheer Emotion ($19)

Just a kiss of color on the cheeks, lips or even lids gives a "I look well rested" face as opposed to the usual "I barely slept in an upright seat" one.


Phyto 9 Daily Ultra Nourishing Botanical Cream, Ultra Dry Hair ($26)
All that recycled air can also suck the life force out of luscious locks. A simple swipe through the ends and a hint of gloss across the top infuses strands with vitamins, moisture and, believe it or not, strength.

I really really like rosebud salve when I'm not wearing lip color around the house and stuff. I'll have to try the brambleberry rose.
