Liz Earle Overnight Travel Kit

lizearle_overnight

As a frequent traveler, my biggest worry is not about packing the wrong outfits for business meetings or a new climate, forgetting my wallet or missing my flight to due my propensity for being late (all of which happen to me regularly).

My biggest worry is leaving my beloved stash of beauty products behind while fitting everything I need into 3 oz containers and a teeny ziplock bag. Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare has answered my prayers with their Overnight Travel Kit, a travel-friendly kit with everything I need while on the road in airline-size containers.

The mini-traveler cosmetic case zips open flat and the mesh interior makes it easy to clean. There is even a tiny loop to hang it over a hook in the bathroom.
Inside you’ll find: Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser 30ml (Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth cleanser has been a Makeup Bag favorite for years leaving my skin squeaky clean and moisturized), Instant Boost Skin Tonic 50ml, Skin Repair Moisturiser 15ml, Daily Eye Repair 5ml, Brightening Treatment Mask 15ml, Orange Flower Botanical Body Wash 30ml, Nourishing Botanical Body Cream 30ml and 1 pure muslin cloth.

Now I can board my flight knowing I have everything I need for my skin tucked safely in my carry-on.

The Liz Earle Overnight Travel Kit is available online at LizEarle.com.

Shu Uemura Mixed Cleansing Oil Travel Kit

shu-uemura-cleansing-oils

I think Shu Uemura makes the best cleansing oils on the market. (They also make the best eye lash curler, but that’s another story.)

This set includes the Brightening, Fresh and A/O formulations and provides refreshing purification that thoroughly cleanses the skin while respecting its integral balance.

This kit is the perfect accessory for those who travel and is suitable for all skin types.

Tip: Apply oil to dry hands and massage onto dry face and neck. Dampen hands and emulsify oil by massaging a small amount of warm water on top of the oil. Rinse clean with warm water.

Shu Uemura Mixed Cleansing Oil Travel Kit is available at Nordstrom for $32.

NEW! Shu Uemura High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil

While in Paris earlier this month, we talked at length with other beauty bloggers about our most favorite products and Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil was on nearly everyone’s list.

This morning we learned that there’s a new cleansing oil in town: High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil, and this one significantly improves the removability of waterproof makeup.

For a limited time, this is also available in exclusive Limited Edition bottles adorned with Mr. Uemura’s calligraphy.

If you’ve never tried any of the Shu Uemura cleansing oils, follow the Shu Uemura Japanese cleansing technique for maximum benefits:

1. With dry hands, dispense an ample amount (4-6 pumps) of cleansing oil onto palms.
2. Apply cleansing oil all over the face and neck.
3. Emulsify by adding cold or lukewarm water.
4. Massage thoroughly onto skin, breathing in the natural fragrances.
5. Rinse thoroughly with cold or lukewarm water.

New Shu Uemura High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil is currently available at shuuemura-usa.com.
