Summer 2008: My Travel-friendly Beauty Goodies
I am back! I apologize for not updating in the past few days. I just came back from a short but relaxing vacation in Lake Tahoe. This trip was full of bright sunshine, sandy beaches and blue skies. As much as I enjoyed all the breathtaking scenic views, it wasn't easy to get used to the temperature change from daytime to night time and protect the skin from the harsh sun rays on the beach.
I like to pack light during travel (I guess I was also forced to pack light due to the TSA's 3-1-1 rules). And, simple makeup and easy skin care routine are my philosophy during traveling. Based on my past experiences, I was always too tired to get up early finishing the delicate task of applying makeup. Secondly, for some lodging places, such as cabin, it is hard to find decent lighting to apply makeup, not to mention it is essentially mission impossible for me to have my makeup mistake-proof when visiting sunny beaches, playing water, traveling through windy or snowy places. The heat, humidity and strong wind can smear or melt the makeup within minutes. Thus, I would rather play safe with my resort makeup looks; keep it minimal and subtly fresh. Yet, my makeup will be still beautifully done to be photogenic (vacation photos last a lifetime).
I am going to share with you some of the beauty goodies that I brought in my last trip. I narrowed down the stuff that I found most travel-wise in term of size, capability and versatility. More detailed thoughts on these items will come up tomorrow.

I love this type of posts... I love the "beauty goodies" photos because I can see many things I like in only one photo. Thanks a lot. I had "L'Occitane Solid Perfume in Green Tea", I think it's delicious!!! I want "Clarins UV Plus Protective Day Screen SPF40" but it's a little expensive... Bye.
P/D: I love your blog
Hello Cremitas Perfumadas,
Thank you for liking the post. I was hoping to put up my review on these beauty goodies yesterday. But I messed up some of the photos in the post. I am sorry to keep you waiting on the post. Do check back my review later on! :)
I feel the same with L'Occitane Green Tea Solid Perfume! I am also thinking of collecting the Mimosa or Magnolia solid perfume. :)
Clarins UV Plus Protective Day Screen SPF40 is a very lightweight and fresh sunscreen. I will actually share my thoughts on this product in the post later on. Do give it a try if you get a chance to stop by Clarins counters.
Thank you so much for posting your comment! Hope to hear from you again! :)
Cheers,
BA
