    8 In-Flight Holiday Travel Essentials with CVS +GIVEAWAY!

    an-dyer-holiday-travel-packing-tips-cvs It’s already mid-December and like most holiday travelers this time of year, our trip is quickly approaching and the idea of packing is already daunting. That’s why I love CVS because they’re the best one-stop destination for all my travel beauty needs! I’ve teamed up with CVS to share some helpful in-flight travel tips, plus, we’re giving away $50 gift cards to make holiday traveling even easier for TWO lucky readers! Details at the end of this post 😉 I’ve been guilty of leaving packing to the very last minute but it only takes missing your must-haves on a trip or two to motivate you to be more proactive about it! I’ve become pretty darn awesome at packing over the years but I’ve also become more aware of how personal packing can be. We each have different priorities and every destination can have different needs. The one consistent factor that I’ve found? The in-flight necessities. Chris and I are heading to Paris right after Christmas and these are 8 essential items I found at my local CVS that I’ll be reaching for when the pilot turns the seat-belt lights off:

    1. An ultra rich hand creme
    Since the air in plane cabins can be extremely dry, often literally drier than the Sahara desert at >20% humidity, it’s important to pack hydrating products with you like moisturizers. Dry cuticles on a flight almost always results in the worst hangnails! I’ll check the larger body cream in my luggage but I always bring my travel friendly sized Skinfix Ultra Rich Hand Cream in my carry-on.

    2. Cleansing cloths or makeup removing wipes
    Gentle facial wipes like e.l.f.’s Makeup Remover Cloths are some of my favorites to have on hand because they’re incredibly versatile! You can use them to clean up after a snack, freshen up those eyes after a nap, wipe down your tray table or to take off the makeup you’ve had on all day.
    3. Brightening eye cream.
    The areas on your face that can show signs of dehydration (and aging) the quickest are your eyes so make sure to have a moisturizing eye cream with you! I love bringing a brightening product to revive the eye area like Lumene’s Bright Now Eye Treatment. Luckily, eye products are typically small so chances are the one you already use will easily be within the TSA size restrictions.

    4. Blush & Bronzer        5. Mascara        6. Concealer        7. Lip Moisturizer
    Once you remove your makeup, you have to put it back on, right? J/k 😉 All joking aside, depending on your destination, you may want to look presentable or just bring a little life back to your face, at the end of a long, exhausting flight. I pack most of my makeup away, but I’ll always have some face color like e.l.f.’s St. Lucia Blush & Bronzer handy to liven up my complexion. I love how wearable this particular combination is! The bronzer can also easily double as an eyeshadow to add a wash of color on your eyelids. Concealer is a must-have for obvious reasons and the Instant Age Rewind Concealer by Maybelline is a cult favorite! The built in sponge makes mid-travel applications a breeze. Swipe on a couple coats of Maybelline’s Colossal Mascara to really brighten up those eyes! Don’t forget to moisturize your lips – I’ve been really enjoying ChapStick’s Total Hydration Lip Balm. They have tinted balms that are perfect to add a touch of color, too!

    8. Hair Oil
    Do you ever notice how dry your hair can get on the plane? I become hyper aware of my split ends because they like to all stand up and wave at me mid-flight :p Leave the dry shampoo in your checked luggage and bring your OGX Weightless Hydration Coconut Water Hydration Oil with you! This will not only save your hair, but your luggage – whenever I pack any oil product in my checked luggage, it always manages to leak everywhere (even if I tape it shut and double bag it!) so I opt for bringing oil products like this with me in my carry-on. That way, it has a better chance staying upright – and I can use it on my hair!

    What’s New: BEAUTY TECHNOLOGY v2.0

    best-beauty-techn

    This week’s edition of What’s New in Beauty Technology features almost every category – skincare, cosmetics, hair & nails! Have you tried any of these new innovative products already? What did you think?

    The MAGNETIGHT Age-Defier by Dr. Brandt Skincare is an anti-aging mask that’s infused with iron and harnesses the power in the magnetic properties of the iron-based formula to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles and lift away impurities using the magnet removal tool. You apply the black mask with the spatula, let it do its thing, and then remove it by hovering over your skin with the triangle shaped magnet and watch as the mask magically lifts off of your skin and adheres to the magnet! The mask calms and illuminates dull, stressed skin, leaving your complexion looking youthful, bright, and energized!

    The designer of these eye catching Artis Elite Brushes had the realization that makeup brushes have never evolved from the traditional paint brushes they copy. Artis brushes are designed with densely packed fibers to apply products more uniformly for a superior application. Because the brush fibers are so tightly packed, they also don’t retain as much product so you can use less! The handles are also ergonomically shaped to make it easier to apply to your own face.

    #BROWSONFLEEK! Airbrushed eyebrows anyone? TEMPTU AIR‘s newest Airbrush 24-Hour Root Touch-Up & Hair Color Airpod also doubles as a brow product and they even sell the perfect brow stencils to use with them! This incredible formula is technically a long-wear airbrush temporary hair color that’s transfer-resistant and water-resistant making it perfect to use on the brows! It does take a little practice to get the application right but it’s so worth it!

    At home gel products have definitely been making a big wave the past couple years but the newest & most exciting has to be Gel Couture by Essie! A simple 2 step-system with no lamps needed, these 42 shades are absolutely gorgeous! I especially love the new wider, rounded brush shape that hugs your nail bed like a dream! Not to mention the swoonworthy new bottle design – yum!

    Have you ever found yourself juggling with a round brush in one hand, hair dryer in the other, and zero way of grasping your hair that needs to be blowdried? 4 words, everyone:   hands   free   hair   dryer. With the absence of the traditional handle, the Dura CHI Hand Shot Hair Dryer stands up on its own and features a touch sensitive control screen that regulates temperature and speed levels with 1875 Watts of power that allows for consistent ceramic heat technology.

    It’s hard to believe that I just wore this dress a couple of weeks ago. In reality, I’m probably curled up, under an absurdly thick blanket, with the heater cranked up while I finish Good Girls Revolt (which is SO GOOD by the way!)

    How’s the weather where you are?
