ANGIE MURRAY HELPS US PACK OUR BEAUTY ESSTENTIALS
-
Going on a weekend getaway and only taking a carry on? Going to be staying in multiple locations and only want to take the basics? When traveling it’s always best to not overpack, especially when it comes to beauty products, which can tend to add a lot of weight. Here is a list of my top styling essentials for hair and makeup to get the most out of the products you choose to bring and can easily fit into your beach bag.
MAKEUP
If you plan to be on the beach or at the pool during your stay, waterproof is the way to go. This will allow you to enjoy your cocktail poolside without the worry of your makeup running. If you can find options that are both waterproof and contain an SPF that is always a plus. These are a few of my go-to's:
SKIN
When it comes to your skin the most important is sun protection and hydration. These are some of my favorites:
HAIR
I recommend getting a blowout or blow drying your hair yourself the night before you travel. It’s recommended to shampoo every 2-3 days depending on your hair type, texture and the activities you are planning on doing. A dry shampoo can be used on day two and three to keep your blow out longer and add volume. This will come in handy especially if you plan on doing a lot of walking.
HAIR TIP: IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN THE WATER AND HAVE HIGHLIGHTS OR COLOR TREATED HAIR, TRY TO AVOID GETTING IT WET AS THE CHLORINE AND SALT WATER CAN FADE COLOR AND BE ESPECIALLY DRYING. IF YOU MUST, TRY WETTING YOUR HAIR BEFOREHAND WITH FRESH WATER AND APPLYING CONDITIONER, LEAVE IT IN SO THAT WHEN YOU DO GO IN THE WATER IT WON’T ABSORB ANY SALT/CHLORINE.
