Vacay Summer Challenge: BIC World Tour – Share your must-haves for a chilly vacay! (Week 8)

[Anna2BT]

Summer is finally here, Beauty Insider Community! To celebrate one of the most fun times of the year (aka Hot BIC Summer 😉) we’re bringing in an exciting new summer challenge in the form of the first official virtual BIC World Tour! ✈ We know not everyone is able to travel at this time, so let’s go together virtually 💕

Each week we’ll have a new vacation-themed prompt where you’ll get to share your fantasy favorites as we travel to different climates and places across the world! 🌎

Check in time: Each Friday launches a new travel destination and prompt, so check back to this post weekly for more vacay fun:

• (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?

• (Week 2: 7/8 - 7/14) Hot BIC Summer: Battling against heat and humidity is no easy task! Talk about your most powerful tools, products, or tips that help you fight against the sun.

• (Week 3: 7/15 - 7/21) Seamless day to night: Sometimes it’s all about versatility. Share with us your favorite products, looks, or hacks to easily go from day to night.

• (Week 4: 7/22 - 7/28) Tropical & beachy: Sun, sand, water, and vibes~ what are you taking with you for a day out on the sand? Bonus points if you want to add a fun beach-inspired look. 😉

• (Week 5: 7/29 - 8/4) G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S ✨ night on the town: Show off your glam looks and the products you’ll use to transform yourself for a night out!

• (Week 6: 8/5 - 8/11) BIC outdoor essentials: Camping, hiking, and all-things outdoors! 🌲 What are your essentials you need with you to take on the terrain?

• (Week 7: 8/12 - 8/18) Home is where the scent is: Sometimes we can all use a little piece of what we call home. 🏡💕 What fragrance item (perfume, candle, diffuser, etc.) would you bring that always reminds you of home sweet home?

• (Week 8: 8/19 - 8/26) Cold weather hydration must-haves: Snow, icy winds, and cold temps – it’s not hot everywhere this time of year! Some of those most breathtaking sights take place in the cold! What are you bringing to keep your skin hydrated and feeling healthy?

Reply below to share your looks, products, thoughts, and tips on the vacay prompts for our BIC World Tour! ✈  Remember to tag any products you would be using (if applicable!) with the “#” sign. We look forward to all the fun we’ll have together for the weeks to come!

Thanks @Saradestin ! I like to travel light, so I'm used to packing multitaskers and excluding things from my suitcase/bag. Reducing all beauty to just 5 products is a serious challenge, though! 😂 

I used to visit at least one amusement park a year, usually Cedar Point, Universal, WDW and/or my home park (Six Flags Great America). That was in the before times. I haven't left Illinois since December 2019 thanks to the ongoing pandemic + my pre-existing health issues, and I miss traveling. I had planned to revisit Paris in 2020 or 2021 and take at least one more cruise somewhere, and was considering finally making good on a long-ago promise to a friend to visit Barcelona, and maybe even visit Peru (I've wanted to see Machu Picchu for decades, but it's hard to plan a good time when it won't be packed with tourists). When I'm finally able to travel again, I'll start closer to home with US amusement parks so I can finally get my roller coaster fix.

[Samtian]

Ooh this is fun! My bucket list place to visit is Italy! 

 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? In no particular order-

1- CLEAN RESERVE Reserve - Acqua Neroli Travel Spray 0.33 oz/ 10 mL 

2- Herbivore Rose Hibiscus Hydrating Mist 4.0 oz/ 120 mL 

3- Tatcha Mini The Water Cream 0.34 oz/ 10 mL 

4- Tatcha The Rice Polish Foaming Enzyme Powder Classic 

5- KVD Beauty Everlasting Longwear Liquid Lipstick Outlaw 

I should say something like an spf but I'm a horrible person and rarely wear it. 

[itsfi]

Oh, I tried a sample of that neroli scent @Samtian and it smells really good! 😍

[Samtian]

@itsfi I love it so much. I got it in a gratis and have  been obsessed. 

[Saradestin]

WHAT???? 😱😱😱😱 Put that sunscreen in your list right now @Samtian !!! We will let you go with 6 faves instead of 5! 😁But put it in (your bag) and on (all over)!!! 

[itsfi]

@Samtian, you keep your 5 products as is. I’ll fill up a bag of sunscreen for you! What do you prefer - chemical? Physical? Hybrid? Ohhh, never mind, I'll just put together a variety pack for you! @Saradestin 

[Saradestin]

Yes @itsfi !! 👏👏👏

[Samtian]

@itsfi Yeah...I don't know what any of that means for my skin haha. Variety pack is best.

[Samtian]

@Saradestin Haha I know I need to!

[Skunk12puzzola]

@Samtian we should switch houses for a month, you will try Italy (keep in mind that I live in the north east, so I don't have the sea. I'm near lake Garda) and I will try America for the first time 😘💕👍
