The Travel Beauty Thread

[sister13]

(January 2023) Thought I’d resurrect this thread, now that there’s a bit more possibility of travel these days! I would love to live vicariously and learn from fellow BICers, so please post any tips, pics, and/or your fave travel minis or routine!  I’m still not doing a lot of travel these days, but may post some pics and notes from past trips.  💗💗💗

—————

Since the old travel thread sadly got lost in the switchover (😢😢😢) it was suggested a while back, and I’ve been meaning to get a new one started. If there is one already for this, let me know. I travel a bit for work and for fun, and I love checking out beauty stores and seeking out exclusive or hard-to-find items in different places around the world. Some of my favorite makeup destinations have been the Face Powder and Perfume Museum in Torino, Italy (a surprise find) and the Les Merveilleuses Laduree in Tokyo. I have relied on great tips from other BT/BICers on many of my trips, especially Toronto and Tokyo, so I would love to keep this updated as a resource for BIC.

Please share your discoveries, store reviews, pictures, purchases, and travel tips, and I’ll try to keep and update summaries here in the main post for future reference. If you don’t have a chance for much travel, feel free to share your favorite beauty destinations in your home city. I plan to update with photos below from various trips as I have the chance to organize my archives and update. What do you guys think? Feel free to make suggestions on how to organize this thread, too, it might be a bit of a work in progress. Thanks and happy travels BT/BIC!

@Luvstravel @What a great picture. I miss the food in Florence and in Italy in general. Have a great trip later this year. It sounds amazing. 

[Luvstravel]

I definitely love Italian food @SportyGirly125 and wine and gelato! This trip was just to enjoy those and relax with no set schedule.

[Luvstravel]

@CorgiMommy it was so nice on this trip because we have already visited before and was able to relax and enjoy just walking around the city and visiting cute shops!

Such gorgeous pictures @Luvstravel And that amazing perfume store! 😵😵😵 Florence is such a fantastic city. I have been there twice at different times of the year (one in December as well) and love them all! ❤️

And… did you just say that you were going outside to plant some flowers???? You need to join us at https://community.sephora.com/t5/Besides-Beauty/The-BIC-Plant-and-Gardening-Thread/m-p/6562265

[Luvstravel]

I love to travel to Italy and Florence is such a walkable city @Saradestin There was a bus strike going on while we were there and we were unable to go to Greve in Chianti. There is a great enoteca called Enoteca Falorni that we visited before and loved it. Thanks for the recommended thread fir gardening 😊

@Luvstravel - My mom and brother have been to various European Christmas markets (I don't remember which ones).  They were in awe of all the handmade crafts and had a great time.

[Luvstravel]

I'm so looking forward to my Christmas market trip @Titian06 especially after seeing Florence decorated for Christmas!
