@peculiarzmakeup  Wow. This is such a great lineup of items! I also love bringing minis with me when I travel. It gives more room and I don’t worry if it explodes or I leave it behind!!! You use the best products too!! Tatcha is so good!!! 😊 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Thank you so much 🙂 I know Tatcha is great! And minis are amazing less is more ❤️🫶 @ather 

[itsfi]

@peculiarzmakeup, I love that Tatcha offers mini sizes ♥️ - great for trying out their products and for travel. Their cleansing balm is fantastic, a repeated repurchase for me. Curious about the RB eye brow gel - how’s the wand on it - is it in the shorter end? 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Thank you so much @itsfi 

I adore the Tatcha mini collection as well I wish they made a minis set but on the direct site they do have the option to curate your own travel site and recieve a cute little bag which is nice.

the RB eyebrow laminating gel does have a rather short wand

 it is a repurshase for me 

and same for the tatcha cleansing balm 🙌

[itsfi]

Ooouh, I like the size of that wand. Thank you for the pic. I'll add the RB to the list of brow gels to try @peculiarzmakeup, though it'll probably take me a while to get around to it - brow products are one of the only makeup categories where I only have a couple / few open products at a time - that's a rarity for me so I try to keep to it. 😆 That said, I will probably be due to open a new brow gel soon-ish (by or before the end of the year).

@ather, have you tried the Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Brow Harmony Flexible Lifting and Laminating Eyebrow Gel 0.15 oz / 4.5 g? 

[peculiarzmakeup]

That will be a neat experience to add a new one to your collection. It is a really lovely product I suggest applying lightly when adding to eyebrows because it can get a bit of glue in the eyebrow if it’s done in a faster pace with thicker gel. I hope you enjoy it if you do get it! It’s always cool to learn of different types of product categories ❤️ @itsfi 

[ather]

@itsfi  oooo I haven’t tried it yet!! But I can’t wait to hear more about what you think! I may not be trying anything new for a long time! 

[Missmeka]

Very nice 😊

This was my travel lineup for our recent trip to American Samoa, which is all rain forest, so it’s very hot and humid.

 My skin used to tolerate more samples but not anymore so I mostly stick to my regular routine and get minis if they exist. I told myself only one or two perfumes but 3 more minis jumped in my bag.

I will cross post to the The Travel Beauty Thread ! 🩷💕💕

 

This black bag from Make Up For Ever is such a winner. I think it was a freebie from a masterclass. It’s got lots of pockets inside and cinches at the top, it goes on every trip!

I usually put my brushes, pencils, etc in a glass to keep them easily accessible. 💕🩷💕 

 

Nearly packed in the clear bag:

 

[itsfi]

That MUFE black back looks marvelous @sister13 - like it can hold a good number of product and it looks great!  Ahhh, Teine, there you are!! She’s like “I spy mom’s travel bag. Where are you going?!!!” 😃

[sister13]

It’s great and holds a variety of shapes and products, including brushes! Teine is always ready to hop in the suitcase hoping I won’t notice one of these Times, lol! @itsfi 

[peculiarzmakeup]

I hope you had a great trip! There’s always that one product category that I throw some extra in too! Amazing travel essentials, great to learn from others how they experience packing 🙂 @sister13 

[sister13]

Thanks!! @peculiarzmakeup

This is so bougie, but I absolutely MUST have a mini La Mer creme in my travel arsenal! No matter what a new destination may do with my skin, this creme always seems to keep it balanced and hydrated. 

[itsfi]

@Mcakes!!!!! Coming in with a great big hug!! Miss you dearly. 🤗

Oooouh, La Mer - the original version? It's so decadently luxe 😍 The soft creme is growing on me. 

[Mcakes]

@itsfi I miss you too!! Finally emerging from my post-partum bubble. Restructuring my bandwidth to bring back my Sephora crew! 

For trips specifically I like to bring the original, but I love the soft crème for summer and original for winter.

[christaaustin]

Oooo I get so dry when I travel especially fly, so definitely my best moisturizer. When I feel extra dry I use the Tatcha indigo moisturizer 💖

[peculiarzmakeup]

That’s a great one! I love that it comes in mini too so it’s good for on the go 🩵 @christaaustin 

[itsfi]

This is such a treat for the skin, especially when traveling @christaaustin! ❤️
