Travel Essentials: Wedding Weekend


I am heading down to Springfield, MO this weekend for a family wedding, which I couldn't be happier about because it combines two of my favorite things - weddings (well wedding cake really) and packing. Packing really feeds my inner organization nut. Plus, I generally take it as an opportunity to try a few new things that aren't part of my daily routine. Here's what I am bringing -

Skincare:

  1. Sodashi Clay Cleanser with Sandalwood - doing double duty this weekend as a gentle morning cleanser and effective evening makeup remover  
  2. SW Basics Toner - this is doing wonders for my stressed out skin (where has this toner been all my life?!)*
  3. de Mamiel Spring Facial Oil - using this morning and night to gently ease my skin into Spring (or maybe to lessen the mental blow that it is still clearly winter in Chicago)
  4. Josie Maran Argan Daily Moisturizer - my everyday must-have
  5. Pai Chamomile and Rosehip Moisturizer and Macadamia and Rose Moisturizer - test driving a few samples from Pai this weekend in place of my usual night cream
  6. Soapwalla Deodorant - because there is a possibility I might get out on the dance floor (slight possibility)
  7. La Bella Figura Decouverte Under Eye Repair Serum (not pictured) - this is definitely an essential anytime the night might involve alcohol (seriously helps with post-booze puffiness)
Fragrance:
  1. La Bella Figura Paris Perfume Oil - this is my all-time favorite perfume EVER! Completely intoxicating. I wear it every day and can't be without it.
Makeup:
  1. RMS Beauty "Un" Powder and "Un" Cover-Up - these are my basics and I am completely in love with both of them
  2. W3LL Universalist #2 - This is one of my absolute favorite highlighters because it provides a realistic glow without any telltale streaks 
  3. Ilia Multi-Stick in Tenderly - this provides the perfect barely-there flush when you plan on rocking a bold lip or smoky eye
  4. Ilia Mascara in Nightfall - I am breaking this bad boy open for the first time this weekend and can't wait to see how it looks!*
  5. Ilia Lipstick in Neon Angel (not pictured) - kind of excited that my lips will match my shoes, not gonna lie 
  6. Kjaer Weis Eye Shadow in Cloud Nine (not pictured) - testing this for the first time as well and I have no doubt in my mind that it will look unbelievably gorgeous
*reviews coming soon
