I’m going to the Dominican Republic at the end of the month. I cannot wait! I’m so excited that I am already mentally packing.

Here is what I’m bringing!

1) Nars Laguna Bronzer : I do not travel without my Nars Bronzer in Laguna. It is the perfect bronze with a hit of shimmer. I like to brush a bit of the powder on my shoulders and chest to even out tan lines.

2) Embryolisse Rose Moisturizing Cream & Bioderm H20 : Oh how I love this moisturizer and make-up remover. Both are cult favorites amongst beauty bloggers, makeup artists, and celebs alike. Gwyneth Paltrow recently blogged about these products in her GOOP newsletter. The rose moisturizing cream is wonderfully light and the H20 is perfect for sensitive skin.

3) Coppertone Sport SPF 30: This is my all-time favorite SPF! The label says it is sweat proof and trust me, they mean sweat proof…like three hours of tennis, 30 degree hot, jogging, sweat proof. It also dries to a powdery finish which I really love. You don’t have to worry about the sunblock dripping off of you, or reapplying constantly.

4) Nuxe Lip Moisturizing Stick: I still need to buy some SPF lip blam but this will still be in my carry-on. It smells like roses and honey. Yum. It feels waxy, but in a good way. So nice.

5) Kiehls SPF 15: This is a light, moisturizing SPF 15! No fuss, no scent, sinks right into my skin. If you like the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Line this is a daytime must.

6) Hollister Nautical Stripe Bikini: I got this bikini last year, and I think it’s still available! Nautical and matches with anything.

7) Raspberry Longchamp bag: A light beach tote in a bright color!

8) Bioderma:  A cult favourite with makeup artists and regular folks alike, this is a travel must-have. I was skeptical about a cleanser, remover with a watery consistency, but it really does the trick. Removes all traces of makeup, doesn’t dry your skin, gentle and refreshing enough to use after a long and hot day on the beach.

AND that’s it! Bon voyage!
