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.

This month we’re loving H20 Plus skincare products.

Typically we like our cleanser rich and creamy, but when temperatures soar a gel cleanser can be delightfully refreshing. The H20 Plus Marine Cleansing Gel is an oil-free water-based gel that foams away makeup, oil and impurities and leaves behind a super fresh scent.

Also in this collection is the Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment , an oil free gel moisturizer that doubles as a hydrating mask. It’s a bummer there’s no SPF in this because it feels so cool and refreshing on the skin—perfect for the summer months.

Rounding out the regimen is the Night Oasis Oxygenating Rejuvenator , a night cream with ingredients like sea fennel, sea lettuce and wakame (sea kelp). Extremely light and hydrating, this night cream delivers fantastic results. After several days of use our skin felt (and looked) revitalized.

H20 Plus Oasis skincare line can be found at H20Plus.com and at the H20 Plus free-standing stores .

It’s no secret that my heart belongs to Chanel Sublimage Essential Regenerating Cream. I named it as my top product of 2007 and remain completely enamored with its ability to transform my skin.

Now, dear Makeup Bag readers, my favorite anti-aging cream has a partner in crime: SUBLIMAGE SERUM Essential Regenerating Concentrate.

With two times the Planifolia PFA of the cream along with the ultra-rich Planifolia concentrated water, this powerful serum delivers serious anti-aging benefits. Paired with the Sublimage Essential Regenerating Cream, my skin is beyond rejuvenized.

However, let me warn you, one must be serious about their anti-aging regimen to consider this product. At $385 per ounce, it’s no bargain. (Unless, of course, you’re married to a tycoon or are willing to pay any price for radiant, youthful, even toned skin.)

CHANEL SUBLIMAGE SERUM Essential Regenerating Concentrate is currently available at select department stores and online at Chanel.com.

As always, the promise of youthful skin captures us with Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth Creme.

This “youth prolonging” moisturizer, used both morning and night, has key ingredients like Resveratrate (Estée Lauder’s patent pending Youth Molecule that has shown to provide 6 times more protection from environmental damage causing skin to look and behave younger), South Sea Pearls and calming Red & Brown Algae.

As with most luxury skin creams, Re-Nutriv comes with a hefty price tag of $250—but considering it’s the Ultimate Youth Creme, that’s a steal.
