Spring break is just around the corner and you have already booked your flight. For sure, you have already decided your ideal itinerary and curated a beautiful selection of outfits with your trip mates. But what about your beauty essentials? Use our spring break packing list to keep you from having to repurchase your beauty must-haves when you’re already there and help you save time and money.

Skin Care Basics

You know how hectic spring break can get. There’s going to be lots of late night fun infused at bars, clubs, beaches - you name it. All the accumulated party fatigue will inevitably show in your skin so make sure you have an easy-to-follow skincare routine to help your skin recover. This limited edition set from Clinique has everything you need to cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin for spring break. It also comes with their award-winning Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush that neaty packs in a compact brush travel case. Also, don’t forget to bring a sunscreen like Kate Somerville’s Daily Deflector™ Waterlight Broad Spectrum SPF 50+-- it layers well with powder or liquid foundation.

Base Matters

Even out your complexion with a lightweight makeup base that will last you all day. If you want to have fun under the sun, try the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better™ CC+Illumination™ Cream with SPF 50+. This one is more glowy than the original formula leaving your skin looking more healthy and luminous. We also love that it comes in a tube which makes it great for traveling. If you’re going to party at night, you have to be ready to have your picture taken so use a foundation that doesn’t have SPF in it to avoid looking washed out in photos. We love how the Anastasia Beverly Hills Stick Foundation translates in camera - no filter needed. If you wish to achieve full coverage, apply it using the foundation brush end of ourJadey Wadey’s Brush 180. You can use blender brush of Jadey Wadey’s Brush 181 if you need to put extra attention to specific areas of the face.

All Eyes On You

Spring break is the perfect time to play again with colors and what better way to do it than by getting the. This flirty and fun palette offers the perfect balance between vibrant and neutral shades for versatility. It features 10 complementing, buildable colors and multiple finishes ranging from frost, shimmer and matte. Don’t forget to bring your Luxie Rose Gold Basic Eye Brush Set to help you complete a flawless look with this palette.

Pucker Up!

The matte lip is still going strong this Spring! We like using long-lasting liquid formulas that doesn’t wear away from eating ,drinking or kissing. Kat Von D’s Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks are on top of our list! We all know that most matte liquid lipsticks dry so fast so if you accidentally went over your lip line, it will be difficult to fix it unless you always have a Q-Tip ready. Our Luxie Rose Gold 219 Lip Brush is the perfect tool to apply all types of lipstick formulas with precision.

Get Cheeky

An all in one product for contouring and highlighting will take up less space in your makeup bag like theNARS Sculpting Mineral Duo . The darker tone can be used for contouring or bronzing while the lighter tone can be used for highlighting. This product has a cream formula and we recommend the Luxie Rose Gold Large Angled Face Brush to blend them right where you need it.

What else do you need to bring?

Bring cleansing wipes to help you remove sweat and dirt from your skin when needed. A dry shampoo will also keep your hair from getting greasy while also adding volume at the same time. Keep a facial mist handy to instantly hydrate tired and dehydrated skin. Don’t forget to bring anti-perspirant, soap bar and other personal hygiene items.
