As a frequent traveler and longtime fan of MD Skincare, we absolutely must have this MD Skincare Team Travel Set:

This handy travel set contains 3o application packettes of MD Skincare Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel, a 1.7 oz. All-in-One Facial Cleanser with Toner and a 1.7 oz. Hydra-Pure Firming Body Cream—all favorites of Makeup Bag.

Also included is a stacked set of 6 refillable pots—ideal for daytime moisturizer, night cream, sunscreen, foot cream, and pretty much every other lotion and potion on our bathroom counter.

The best part? This $116 value is available for only $78. (Come to think of it, we might need two!)

The much anticipated Crema Nera skincare line by Giorgio Armani Beauty is now available on their website.

Crema Nera offers three cleansers (mineral cleansing balm, mineral cleansing milk, and mineral cleansing foam), a toner, and a regenerating cream—the prize product in this collection.

We’ve yet to be disappointed by Giorgio Armani Beauty—hopefully Crema Nera is no exception.
