Surf, skiing or city escapes, wherever you go on Spring break you are sure to need the Spring break beauty essentials to keep you perfectly polished with the minimum of time and effort. Who has the time to spend hours in the mirror when there are sunsets, cocktails and après ski sessions to be had? The days are long and the nights are longer and you shouldn’t miss a minute with a beauty routine made for the red carpet! Who needs to take up space in your luggage with a beauty bag the size of Texas? Effortless beauty with maximum effect is the key with this Spring break list. Spring is here and the fun in the sun has begun, so here are my top travel sized Spring break beauty essentials that will keep you fashionably fresh and chic from the beach to the streets!
1. Sunscreen
You all know that Spring break is the first light your skin has seen in months so protection is paramount – you should really be wearing this daily 365 days a year anyway!
2. Travel Palette
I recommend Maybelline New York Gilded Makeup kit palette in Gold. This travel-friendly total beauty palette is hard to beat at a price under $10! It has you covered in one small compact makeup book containing eyes, lips, highlight and cheeks! Two tones – Gold and smoky!
3. Hair Refresher
Who has time for daily wash and dry sessions? No OUAI?! Dry shampoo is a travel staple. Spray and go hair that smells sweet and looks a treat! Check out “The Ouai” travel section on their site for mini Dry Shampoo’s and Dry Shampoo foams for $12!
4. Exfoliant
Lancer polish in a travel size will keep your skin glowing and perfectly pore less. Helps remove sunscreen and makeup and the days grime in a flash! The perfect glow for those in the know!
5. CC Cream
A concealing and corrective cream that will have sun protection and keep your skin looking polished and sexy on the slopes or in the city. It boasts the all in one foundation, moisturiser, primer and SPF while treating uneven skin tone. Find one that suits your skin and tone because each brand is different.
6. Deodorant Wipes
These travel-friendly, all-natural wipes make keeping fresh easy and simple. These pre packed wipes are purse ready and TSA approved. Just open the packet and freshen up and toss away! I just love Crystal Essence towelettes.
7. Body Lotion
This essential will keep you luminous and glowing and extend the life of your tan. Smooth silky skin is a Spring break must to look healthy and soft. Try Alba Very Emollient Body Lotion in the travel friendly size.
8. Nail Polish
CND Vinylux Weekly polish is my favourite pick for nails. Barely chips and shines after the first application. Best by far when it comes to long lasting nail colour to keep you polished from head to your pretty shiny toes.
9. Hair Treatment
Whether you are in the city or the sun your locks take a beating from the harsh elements and styling. So make sure you keep up your once a week hair loving session with the revolutionary OLAPLEX No.3 treatment. Straight up this is hands down the best hair treatment on the market that actually strengthens your hair bonds and gives your hair life.
10. Hair Accessories
This grown up fashion forward chic range will make your locks the mane attraction. Hair guru Jen Atkin teamed up with Chloe + Isabel to create a super fun, modern and stylish range of hair accessories that double up as jewellery. The range is affordable and so fashionably fabulous, taking you from the beach to the streets in style.
