Travel Beauty Bag Essentials for Spring

With the winter weather slowly disappearing and Spring on the horizon comes travel plans a plenty. There’s a lot to think about when it comes to traveling and it can be stressful. That’s why I wanted to share some of my travel beauty bag essentials I’m loving for the upcoming spring season.

Since I usually travel carry-on (and try to pack light for quick weekend getaways), I’m all about travel-sized products.

Thankfully, Murale (Canada’s beauty destination and boutique shop) just released their newest Spring Fab and Free Gift with Purchase today in stores. I’ve been a longtime fan of Murale’s gift with purchases ever since I was in high school. It was always so exciting for me to discover new beauty finds and I couldn’t wait to pick up the full-sized products when I ran out of the travel-sized goodies.

Makeup Remover

This travel-size makeup removing micellar water by Lancome is perfect for traveling. I don’t go a day without washing all my makeup off, even when I travel, so this is the ultimate essential. Plus, it’s suitable for sensitive skin—score.

Serum

I love using serum and this Clarins Pore Control Serum has definitely helped my tired winter skin. It smooths your skin’s texture and revives its radiance while visibly tightening the look of your pores.

Moisturizer

I’m a huge fan of this Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel and love that it’s oil-free and of course, travel-size.

Eye Gels

Eye gels are one of my latest obsessions and I’m so excited that these Patchology FlashPatch Illuminating Eye Gels were included in the gift with purchase. It’s the perfect way to brighten under your eyes after an exhausting travel day.

Lipstick

Even if my makeup is on the lighter side, I can’t go without lipstick. I just don’t feel like myself when my lips are bare. Thankfully, Murale gets it. I’ve talked about how much I love Stila’s Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick before and I’m so happy a sample size one was included in the gift with purchase. The colour is Perla and it’s so pretty for spring.

Mascara

To help make my eyes pop, mascara is key. This Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Curling & Lifting Mascara does double duty. The brush grabs, separates, lifts and curls, while the instant formula holds for 12 hours.

Primer

Primer is a must-have for me while traveling because it means more sight-seeing and less touching up makeup. Smashbox makes the best primers and this Mattifying Face Primer Stick is perfect for controlling oil and shine while making sure your makeup lasts.

Sheet Mask

Who else loves using sheet masks while traveling? There’s just something so luxurious about it. The Teaology Skincare Blue Tea Miracle Face and Neck Mask is what self-care dreams are made of.

Basically, this is how I see it. If you spend $150 or more, you can receive so much bang for your buck. How? You can receive a tote (which you can also use as your carry-on because it’s gorgeous, pink and big enough to carry your essentials) and receive 45,000 Optimum points. Talk about a steal, hey?
