I love a pared down skincare and beauty routine especially on vacation, keeping it all minimal and low key. Here are some key products I’m packing for an upcoming cruise abroad:
The Trip
My mom and I are going on a weeklong trip to Europe beginning in Barcelona and then hopping on a cruise ship to visit Malta, Santorini and Athens. For this trip, I’m prioritizing a barely there make up look with a pop of lip color and plenty of sunscreen.
Skincare Products
My favorite face SPF is Alastin mineral sunscreen. Don’t sleep on this product, it leaves my skin feeling so smooth and because I love how it makes my skin feel, I never forget to use it.
Topicals slick salve. This balm is so magically hydrating. I bought one on a whim during the Sephora sale and loved it so much, bought two more. It tastes like a candy cane and a little goes along way. This has transformed my dry lips!
Summer Fridays face oil. This is my go-to moisturizing oil that I use at night and every morning.
Beauty Products
Danessa Myricks skin tint. This skin tint is so light and seamlessly blends into my skin.
Merit blush. This product takes up such little space and the pink color called Stockholm is one of my favorites for everyday.
I’m hoping to wear very little mascara, but I did purchase this YSL waterproof mascara so I can wear a little swipe on the cruise and out on excursions without worry of smudges.
Merit matte lipstick in court (warm brick.) This is the perfect red shade and I love the combination of a very light barely there make up look with a bright lip.
The Anastasia brow freeze is my latest brow product I love. It truly holds my brows in place. I’ll be packing my travel size with me!
Hair Products
I’m planning to mostly air dry and use this mini travel straightener to smooth out any crazy pieces. I’ll be bringing this Oribe texture hair lotion with me too.
Lastly, I’ll be packing the travel size Phlur vanilla skin body and hair fragrance to spritz all over including my hair.
