My Travel Skin Care Essentials

Image
Travel Skin Care Essentials by swimwearlover featuring a body moisturizer I recently went on a cruise to Alaska, and I thought I would show you exactly what skin care I took with me. Since I was going to a chillier climate than where I live (Florida), I took some more moisturizing products and an extra mask to keep my skin well hydrated. Keep in mind that I have normal to dry skin, so the products you may need will be slightly different.   -Cleanser: Paula's Choice Moisture Boost Cleanser $18.00 - Scrub: Olay Prox Exfoliating Renewal Cleanser $18.00 - Wipes: Mac Wipes, 45 count $20.00 - Makeup Remover: Simple Kind to Eyes Makeup Remover $14.99 - Moisturizer: Mac Strobe Cream $12.00 (travel sized) - Eye Cream: Cerave Eye Repair Cream $14.99 - Sunscreen: Shiseido Sun Protection Sunscreen, SPF 50 $40.00 - Toner: Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray $25.50 - Lip Balm: Fresh Nourishing Lip Balm $30.00 - Clarisonic: Aria Sonic Facial Clea...

Day 3 - Alaska Cruise

What I Wore - Day 3 (RTD) by swimwearlover featuring a logo top              What I Wore - Day 3 - Alaska Cruise: Today, the cruise disembarked at Icy Straight Point, Alaska from 9am until 5 pm. My parents and I went on a Whale Watching and Zip Riding Tour. It was so much fun, but I was disappointed in how short the zip lining trip was. It was kind of expensive too, but I really enjoyed myself on the whale tour. It was neat seeing so many whales up close. We ate at the Crab Station and the king crab was wonderful, and tasted so fresh. It was probably the best I've ever had. We did a little shopping before heading back to the ship. ****   What I Wore: -Hoodie: Gap Hoodie -Jeans: Hollister Skinny Jeans -Boots: Ugg Mid-calf Boots -Backpack: Michael Kors -Tee: White Tee Shirt -Beanie: Navy Beanie from Miss Selfridge -Earrings: MK Earrings -Watch: MK Gold Watch **** Thanks for reading, Jen...

Toiletry Bags Review

MAC - Clearly Mac Trio: I bought these for a cruise I just went on to Alaska. They were handy for storing things shampoo and conditioner. I wanted these in case anything spilled it wouldn't get all over my clothes. The three clear cases come from Mac and cost $42.00. There is a large, small and medium sized bag. I ordered these online and they were smaller than I thought they were going to be, but I made it work. I put my nail polish and nail tools (file, nail clippers, etc) in the smallest one. I put toothbrush/toothpaste, floss, hair ties, and other small things in the medium sized pouch. I put all of my hair care products in the biggest one (shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, etc). I would recommend these, but they are kind of expensive for what you get. You can probably find these cheaper somewhere else, but I needed to order some other items from Mac, so I bought these also. Dimensions- Large - 11 x 7 x 2.25 inches Medium - 8.5 x 4.5 x 2 inches Small  7 x 3.5 x ...

What I Wore: Day 2 (RTD) by swimwearlover featuring a face mask What I Wore on a Cruise Ship - Day 2 (Full Day at Sea) -Top: Cropped jumper from Chicwish -Bralette: Black from Hollister -Shoes: Black converse -Jeans: Skinny jeans from HM.com -Backpack: Michael Kors in black -Sunglasses: Black sunglasses from Ray-Ban -Watch: Michael Kors watch -Bangles: Gold bangles from Target **** So yesterday, my mom and I went to the spa. We both got facials and massages. I am the type to carry a lot of tension in my shoulders, and let me tell you that I have never felt more relaxed. It was wonderful! ****** I tried the Lapcos Charcoal Mask last night, and I think I liked the Milk mask much better. I didn't notice that it did anything to my skin. It claims it cleanses your pores, but I didn't notice any thing like that. The packaging is definitely eye catching though, and I bought mine at Anthropologie if you are interested.. ****...

I can't wait! ****** I tried the Lapcos Milk Moisturizing Mask, and I really liked it. I read the ingredients though, and I wouldn't advise this mask for sensitive skin, because it has a couple of irritating ingredients. Luckily, it did not irritate my skin. The packaging is so pret...
