To celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary, we booked a road trip to sunny Fort Walton Beach, Florida! I'm so excited! [I'm scheduling this to post during our holiday, so we're there now as you're reading this.] Here's what's coming with me in my makeup bag.
For this trip, I'm covering my bases (ha!) with NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer (reviewed) and DiorSkin Nude Air Serum SPF 20 Foundation. The NARS PRTM provides SPF 30 while giving my skin a radiant finish and medium plus coverage. I used this on our honeymoon in Puerto Rico and had zero issues with the SPF melting and sliding into my eyes. The DiorSkin Nude Air Foundation offers a lightweight, skin-like finish with medium buildable coverage, perfect for a date night dinner. My concealer weapon of choice is the Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Dark-Circle Eye Roller because it de-puffs and covers.
My brows will be handled by Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Soft Brown and Benefit Gimme Brow in Medium/Deep.
I'm bringing 2 blushes, a neutral and a pop: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure and City Color Cosmetics Be Matte Blush in Fresh Melon. The Guerlain Terracotta Joli Teint Powder Duo in 02 Natural / Blondes is coming along because a girl's gotta bronze. ;)
I decided to take my Urban Decay Vice 3 Palette. I know a 20-shadow mega palette may not seem to be in compliance with my light packing school of thought at first glance, but think about the big picture here. Since Vice 3 contains a fabulous full-sized mirror, including this palette eradicates the need to bring a separate one. *Moar* space in my case! Rounding out the eyes is L'Oreal Miss Manga Waterproof Mascara, Clinique Cream Shaper For Eyes in Chocolate Lustre (reviewed), and NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base.
I'm keeping the lips quite simple with Supergoop! Acai Fusion Lip Balm with SPF 30, NARS Salamanca Lip Gloss (which also accompanied me on our honeymoon! Ah memories!), and Chanel Murmure Glossimer. Even though they're not pictured, count on there being an Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick (reviewed) or two kicking around in my purse as well. :)
What makeup would you pack for a beach getaway?
