hittling down your beauty collection to one travel kit for vacation is a headache – and then you have to make sure that your products are suited to your destination, whether you’re headed to the Swiss Alps or just sipping a mojito by the pool. Here are tips that will make sure you look your best.
On the slopes
A ski trip to the mountains is the perfect getaway for those seeking a rush of adrenaline. However, sub-zero temperatures will wreak havoc on your skin–so make sure that you drink a lot of water and pack products to keep moisturized.
We recommend Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream (Rp. 750,000) as your day and night moisturizer, as it is jam-packed with ceramides that help water retention, so it will drench your skin and improve tone and texture. Also pack Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain (Rp. 99,000) to keep your lips looking plump and cute all day.
On the beach
Relaxing at a villa amid clear waters. Isn’t this your holiday vision? While you’ll want to show off that beach body you’ve been working on, remember to pack products that offer sun protection and are waterproof.
L’Oreal Paris UV Perfect Aqua Essence City Face Mist (Rp 149,000) is the perfect sunscreen. Not only is it SPF50, it also comes in a convenient aerosol to be sprayed evenly in one easy spritz. Also a good idea is the Maybelline Eye Studio Hypersharp Liner (Rp 99,000). It is pitch black and water resistant, so your winged eyeliner will stay sharp even when soaking wet.

On the streets
Sometimes all you want to do is shop and eat, making a city trip ideal. Make sure that your prep is streamlined so you can get all the things you want to do done in 24 measly hours. So little time, so much to do!
Grab the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Cushion foundation (Rp 795,000). The cushion form is easy to apply in the morning and handy for touch-ups throughout the day. Also pack the BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Mineral Blush Duo Champagne Splits (Rp 722,000) with blush and highlight to be mixed for a healthy flushed look or wear the highlight separately on your cheekbones for razor sharp features.
On the veldt
More into the wildlife than nightlife? While you might not think that you need to touch up on your lipstick, take precautions to make sure that your skin is cool under the hot African sun.
Keep your face cool and hydrated with the Caudalíe Beauty Elixir (Rp 865,000), which will refresh you, make you look more radiant and tighten pores. Exfoliating after a long day in the dust is also important, so make sure to use the Smoothie Star Soap & Glory Breakfast Scrub (Rp 267,000), which smells so good you’ll want to eat it!
