With the holidays quickly approaching I’ve been seeing friends and wishing them a Merry Christmas and fabulous New Year as most I won’t be seeing until 2015 (gasp…2015!!). Many of them are also going away for the holidays this year which got me thinking about my recent trip to Florida and what I carried with me while I was there.

 Some of My Travel Essentials

These were my ABSOLUTE essential items during the 10 days I was away. I definitely brought more with me but these were the products I found I truly needed.

• The Kellett Skincare moisturizing gel is a favourite of mine since it’s lightweight and provides the exact moisture my skin needs.
• I’m still using the Clinique 3-step acne solutions line along with the L’Oreal Sublime Radiance Cleansing Oil at night to remove makeup. This oil is great for travel since it comes with a cap and is lightweight and doesn’t take up too much room.
• When on vacation I often need a refresher in between outings but don’t want to remove all my makeup. In those cases I reach for these Aveeno Ultra Calming Wipes since I can take off a bit of my makeup without irritating my skin.
• For my hair I CANNOT go without Marc Anthony Strictly Curl products but in particular my product of choice is the Curl Envy Perfect Curl Styling Cream. Only the full size version is available in Canada but you can pick up the travel size in the US from Ulta.

As I mentioned I brought more items with me – especially makeup items since I was testing a few things out while on vacation but I did find myself consistently reaching for my Nudestix products!

Do you have absolute must have products you can’t leave home without?
