Someplace Where the Water is Blue

Out of Office with my Essentials

I love when brands give us travel size!

While traveling, I do not always like to pay to check in my luggage (No judging please). When a brand that I love offers a mini TSA Approved size of a product. I am all over it!

Here are some of my favorite go to's that help save space in my luggage...for more shoes! And helps to keep money in my wallet to use for vacation.

• Primer: Tatcha

• Foundation: Juvia's Place

• Concealer: Juvia's Place

• Bronzer: Fenty Beauty

• Makeup Remover: Bobbi Brown

• Under Makeup Moisturizer: Elf Cosmetics

• No Makeup Day Moisturizer: Peter Thomas Roth

• Night Moisturizer: Origins

While on vacation, I also do not want to compromise my skin. It is important to me, to ensure I can pack products from brands that I trust and products I know will work well for my skin. Whether it be a beach vacation to the Maldives or an icy exploration to Iceland, I want to ensure I am taking care of my skin.

In addition to the makeup and skincare minis I like to throw in a few sheet mask for added hydration on the go!

Tips on obtaining mini sized products for travel:

• Using points to purchase a sample sized product

• Going to a store location and asking for a sample size (if the service is available)

• Purchasing a set that includes a bunch of different products from different brands in mini sizes

• Purchasing the mini sized product of a full sized product you have tried and like

This process works for me and helps save a little extra money I can use on vacation.

Who else has some budget friendly tips? I would love to read in the comments below!
