The summer season is upon us, this means travel plans are underway! One of the big things to keep stocked and ready to go is a tsa approved beauty bag. You don’t want to be caught needing beauty products in travel sizes the day you are packing for a big trip!

I keep my travel beauty bag ready for air travel at all times. As soon as something runs out, I replace it so my beauty bag is ready for my next plane trip. If you are traveling by car you may not need tsa approved travel bottles, but the plus side is that they take up less space in your luggage! Love that!

This beauty bag is the perfect size for storing all of your tsa approved, under 3.4 oz bottles. You can see my full review here. It has a place for brushes, and a few handy pockets which can keep your little travel bottles organized.

I don’t travel with liquid perfume, so scented body cream is my travel fragrance. It also doubles as a way to wear fragrance as well as moisturize your skin after a drying plane ride, and over-airconditioned hotel room. Scented body cream is a must-have in my book! This tsa approved bottle is perfect for a vacation.

Skin care is important while traveling since the change in climate from your hometown can wreak havoc on your skin. I love ReVive skin care products since they always keep my skin even and in check. I highly recommend their travel kit pictured above!

Also, don’t forget to throw a good, old-fashioned Chapstick in your beauty bag. You will be thankful you have it on your trip; especially if you travel by plane!

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your vacation!

Who doesn’t love getting a fabulous beauty gift under the tree on Christmas? I know I do! So, if you need a few beauty gift ideas for the holidays, you have come to the right place!

There are so many fun and fabulous beauty gifts out there for the holiday season; it can be overwhelming! When shopping for a beauty gift, it’s always good to look for sets which contain items most people use such as hand cream, lip balm, shower gel, and varieties of perfume. It can be hard to buy things like foundation, setting powder, eyeliner, eye shadow, and blush. These items often need to be color tested on someone’s skin in order to know if they will look good.

If you are set on getting makeup for the beauty guru on your Christmas or holiday list, then look for makeup types or gift sets which work well with all skin colors and types. The types of makeup gifts which are usually a safe bet include lipstick sets, or eye shadow palettes with more than five colors.

I found a few fabulous beauty gift sets and beauty gifts ideas around the web, and assembled them into this post. I hope you love them! Better yet, I hope the beauty fan on your holiday gift list loves them too! So, without further ado, here are some fun beauty gift ideas for the 2018 holiday gift giving season!

Beauty gifts under $25

Beauty gifts under $50

Beauty gifts under $100

If the beauty fan on your list loves to wear the hottest nail polish colors of the season, check out my reviews of Chanel’s holiday collection and Dior’s holiday collection.

What types of beauty gifts are you hoping for this holiday season? I’m hoping Santa brings me the Chanel perfume, and some lipstick sets!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the holidays!

Molton Brown Pink Pepperpod body lotion review

molton brown pink pepperpod body lotion review

Pictured: c/o Molton Brown Pink Pepperpod nourishing body lotion

If you have been following my blog for awhile, you may have already figured out how much I love Molton Brown! I use their shampoo, conditioner, hand wash, and now, Molton Brown Pink Pepperpod body lotion!

Living in California, I spend a lot of time in the sun, in the pool, and outside in general. My three kids keep me moving, and as a result, my skin gets dry. There is nothing like pool chemicals, salt water, sun exposure, and more to wreak havoc on skin!

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try Molton Brown’s body lotion. As a huge fan of the brand, I anticipated loving the body lotion. I was not disappointed!

Molton Brown Pink Pepperpod body lotion turned out to be exactly what my skin needed. It has been helping keep my skin nourished; especially after a day in the sun! I can say goodbye to dry skin! Love that!

The Pink Pepperpod scent is just as fabulous as the body lotion itself. The scent is sweet, spicy and rich; I love it!

Top notes: fiery pink pepper

Middle notes: ginger

Base notes: rich patchouli

Pink Pepperpod can be found in many Molton Brown products including candles, body wash, hand cream, eau de toilette, and in gift sets! The gift sets will be perfect for this upcoming holiday season.

Molton Brown Pink Pepperpod body lotion is a new staple in my beauty collection. I definitely want to try the body lotion in other scents; as well as try out more Pink Pepperpod scented products! I’m in love!

I rate Molton Brown Pink Pepperpod body lotion five out of five stars!
