Nail your on-the-go style with this travel kit tips.
Keep it tidy
Avoid items that could cause a mess in your toiletry bag, and rather get compact items. This way, you don’t have to worry about spillage.
– Instead of face powder, turn to blotting paper to remove shine.
– Trade your brow palette for the gel, which gives you a tint while taming your brows.
– Leave your normal face wash at home and rather take cleansing wipes.
– Cotton wool and nail polish remover take up space in your bag, so try the easy-to-use nail remover wipes.
Beauty tips
Start with the basics, then build up with your favourite products. Opt for mini travel packs and multitaskers.
– Holidays are a perfect time to let your skin breathe. Instead of foundation, use a multitasking BB cream that works as a primer,
foundation and sunscreen.
– Cleansing your skin is important, and so is removing make-up before going to bed. Use micellar water instead of your normal cleanser.
– There is nothing worse than getting sun burnt on the first day of your holiday. To avoid this, make sure sunscreen is the number one item on your list.
Easy glamour
Keep your make-up minimal during the day. Whether you are at the beach or having a braai. A hint of lip balm and waterproof
mascara will do the trick. From there, if you have to go for dinner, these few tricks will help you look beautiful in no time:
– Invest in a contouring palette; it comes with a bronzer and highlighter. That is all you need to get that natural-looking glow. For a shimmery finish, you can use them on your eyes as well.
– Braid your hair during the day; undo it in the afternoon for effortless loose waves. If you have natural hair, Bantu knots will give you a full curly Afro or dry-perm curls on relaxed hair.
– Instead of carrying lip gloss or lipstick, get a tinted balm that will not only add colour but keep your lips moisturized, too.
– A big bottle of perfume takes up too much space, so get the 10ml or 20ml handbag-friendly mini perfumes.
