@Anna2BT I always wanted to travel to to the Maldives or Bali or Bora Bora and stay on the huts over the water for my honeymoon but instead we went to Europe.

I would bring:

Kopari body glow sunscreen spf 50

or the new Mango one releasing next week

@Anna2BT @The peach tea one came out last year.

It was between the Maldives or Bora Bora for my honeymoon now that my husband reminded me. Maybe one day when the kids are older. He’s more of a Montana kind of person-stargazing. I like more tropical and scenic. Haha. Another place is Canyon Point, Utah at the Amangiri.

My dream summer vacay is definitely a tour around France. It would be so fun to follow along with Le Tour de France, ending in Paris, and seeing the whole country, drinking the wine, eating the cheese. This is something that’s been discussed and contemplated for a while. As soon as I’m comfortable enough with my French je achète le billet d’avion.

I feel like there has to be a tad bit of cheating here… as skincare is unchangeable (and vacation is the worst time to switch up your routine), so ignore the more than 5 skincare items I would be taking… the 5 additional products would be -

2. My favorite Dior bronzer (it’s DC so I can’t tag it)

3. in Inspire

@Anna2BT I think NY is a great place to summer - you've got the beaches on Long Island, hot in the city of NYC, and a more subdued vibe with upstate.

Off the top of my head, I guess I'd bring:

(a re-discovered favorite)

Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream

@Anna2BT So my dream vacation would be going to San Francisco with my mom! So many fun things to do there

My top 5 products I would bring would be:

to make sure I don’t burn

so I can touch up moisture as needed.
to even out my skin tone.

to keep my lips hydrated!!!

Such a great idea! What a fun way to interact with the community ❤️

(Week 1: 7/1 - 7/7) Your ultimate summer vacay: Close your eyes and picture your dream vacay … now answer this question: if you could only bring 5 beauty products along with you on this trip, what would they be?

I have way too many ultimate summer trip dream vacays, here's some I haven't gotten to kick off my bucket list (yet), just to name a few: Full European Tour Trip, Bora Bora, Fiji, Anywhere in Hawaii. Regardless of where I'm going I always love to jam pack my day with exploring, sight seeing and excursions but then have a couple of "R&R" days to rejuvenate. This means that for my dream vacays I need to pack something practical, reliable and versatile in order to create that day-time "no makeup, makeup look" but still be able to transition to a late night dinner type of look.

The items I would absolutely pack on any of these vacations are:

This palette is so versatile that it certainly is the only palette I would ever bring along with me. Matter of fact, I bring these palettes (especially this one) whenever I go out of town because I know regardless what look I am going for I can usually achieve something with this and a bit of creativity. It's perfect for a toned down look and also doubles up as a palette that can be more intense and bold with the darker shades within it. It's a shame that Viseart seems to be phasing out this style of palette because despite their underwhelming aesthetic packaging-these are probably the best mattes I've ever used and this style of packaging packs incredibly well in a small makeup bag for travel.

2) #Smashbox Smashbox X BECCA Mini Shimmering Skin Perfector™ Pressed Highlighter Champagne Pop

Another discontinued Brand-BECCA. It's lovely that Smashbox was able to keep this shade around because this is a fabulous colored highlight. I love the others but there's a reason I chose Champagne Pop specifically for my vacation. I'm a bit tanner in the summer so Champagne Pop suits me better during that time of year when used as a highlight. Furthermore, for versatility purposes: I use this as an eyeshadow quite a bit in the winter time. It's fantastic for a little pop of shimmer which would double up nicely with my previously mentioned Viseart mattes! This can bring a look from daytime to nighttime in a on-the-go type of way, which is essential for activity packed vacations!

This one might not be a typical beauty item to bring but it's one I've been carrying with me to all sunny parts of the world. I absolutely love this mask and it's been a godsend for me after hanging out in the hot Jamaican sun all day. Also saved my skin after walking around the 105 degree Las Vegas dry heat (would not recommend, lol). Where hasn't this little mask gone with me?! It would be no different than on a summer vacation! It's not secret this is my favorite, most helpful, most underrated and MVP top tier of Sephora face masks.

I took a really long time thinking what makeup product I'd bring when it came to face makeup. It has to be this little shape tape concealer. You don't usually need to do a full face of makeup on my type of dream vacay and the small compact size makes it easy to buy several colors and bring them along vs. bringing along a large foundation. (I've even used the darker shades as a bronzer/contour!) I oftentimes use this concealer as a foundation because of how pigmented this is. It's also quite mattifying which is great for any kind of beach or high activity type of trip.

#5)

I adore these BUXOM lip creams and I think this color is the perfect in between on daytime and nighttime for versatility. It's a nice darker pink color that can still be passable on a fresh face at the beach and also be quite lovely when dressed up with a night-time look as well. I'd have to bring one of these along, for sure.

It's very hard to pick only 5 so I decided I had to give a runner-uo spot (or at least an honorable mention!)

Runner Up (Bonus #6):

This mascara is very hit/miss with most people and in all honesty I don't absolutely love it (or any mascara for that fact, I'm still looking for my unicorn) but this holds up pretty well for me as far as mascaras go. It is a bit "dry" but that's at times necessary. The only time I ever had an issue with this not holding up well was when I was out for several hours in Vegas in the desert heat during the hottest parts of the day. Despite going inside every so often or into establishments I noticed after some time that this started to turn back to it's "pre-dry" format. It is indeed waterproof but it's certainly not Vegas heat proof. 😂 I'd still bring this on my vacation because a mascara would be another essential to bring and I think this one happens to give off the most versatility for my multiple dream vacays ❤️
