Creme De La Mer 是我用过最好的润肤霜，我连跑半马的时候都在口袋里揣着一小瓶。旅行的时候，我不光用它擦脸，还用它当眼霜，反正够温和。
LANCÔME BI-FACIL Double Action Eye Makeup Remover 也是必不可少的。旅行的时候，我不仅用它卸眼妆，还用它卸脸上的化妆品：用棉球蘸着它先擦一遍脸，然后厚厚的涂一层酒店里的免费身体乳，再用面巾纸擦掉，彩妆就卸干净啦。
遮瑕膏是不能不带的，谁知道会不会突然长个豆豆或者被蚊子咬一口呢？我喜欢Clé de Peau Beauté concealer，颜色自然，遮盖力好，虽然贵了点，倒能用很久。BENEFIT COSMETICS Erase Paste 也不错，延展性很好，容易涂抹开，尤其适合干性皮肤。
眼影强推Urban Decay家的Naked Basics，跟Naked系列的其他盘一样颜色基本好用，但是盘子够小，容易携带。这个比我以前用的Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow 便宜多了，好东西。Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil 或者MAC Pro Longwear Eye Liner 是我随身携带的眼线笔。Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion 和 Too Faced Shadow Insurance 都是很好的眼部打底霜，也是要走哪儿带哪儿的。
我不喜欢带巨大的腮红刷，所以旅行的时候我把NARS Multiple 当腮红用。一根大棒子可以用好久呢，而我都用了3根了。这东西还可以用来当高光啊唇膏啊什么的，功能很多。
Packing is the best time to review what makes my beauty essential. Being a minimalist and obsessed with travelling light, I always try to bring as little as possible.
I also bring LANCÔME BI-FACIL Double Action Eye Makeup Remover (sample size) wherever I go. It is so strong that it takes off the most water-proof mascara, and so mild on the skin that I use it to remove all makeup on the face when I'm on the road. No face make-up remover is needed. I use this Lancome eye makeup remover for the first round and wipe it off. Then apply a thick layer of free body lotion (from the hotel) on my face, and wipe it off with tissue paper. Done!
Although I don't always use foundation, I do bring pressed powder with me. It's very useful for mid-day touch-up when my face gets too oily. There are a lot of brands and I haven't found anything standing out yet. Besides, I always bring a concealer with me just in case I've got a breakout or a bug bite. I really like the natural seamless coverage of this Clé de Peau Beauté concealer. It may seem pricey at the first glance, but a small tube goes a long way. A less expensive alternative is BENEFIT COSMETICS Erase Paste. It may feel a bit oily at the touch, but it spreads out effortlessly on your skin. In fact, if you have dry skin, this may work better than the expensive CPB concealer -- you might need its silky texture for a barely-there coverage.
Urban Decay Naked Palette series have got lots of acclaims from makeup gurus. However, Naked, Naked 2 and Naked 3 all come in big cases -- at least too big for my travelling purpose. Fortunately I discovered Naked Basics. Six versatile earth tone shadows that work just right. And it only costs half as the Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow I used to carry. For eye liners, I use both Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil and MAC Pro Longwear Eye Liner. They are both great. Do they smudge? No, as long as I have the right eyeshadow primer! Both Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion and Too Faced Shadow Insurance work like magic.
Another staple in my beauty bag is NARS Multiple. As its name suggests, it serves multiple purposes: highlighter, blush, lipstick...and whatever you deem appropriate. For me, I use the multiple in Orgasm as a cream blush. With this in my purse, I no longer need to carry that big blush brush with me. It goes very smoothly on the skin. Do you know how much I love this magic stick? I am already on my third! Yes, this stick goes a long way, too.
OK. That's the list of beauty products I cannot live without when I'm travelling. I do bring other stuff with me, but they tend to shift from brand to brand. As most women in the world, I'm constantly tempted and always curious about "the next big thing". But these products have earned my loyalty. What's your beauty secret?
