What's in my Travel Bag this time?

The contents of my bag. Some brands aren't exact.

So, this week, I'll be up in Michigan. It's not a super exciting trip, nor is it supposed to be. So, keeping it vague, this is what I'll be taking with me for the next two days.

Suave Professionals Dry Shampoo. Of course I have to take this. Just in case I don't have time to take a proper shower.

Herbal Essence shampoo and conditioner. It's not my favorite, so this is a chance to use it up and not have to worry about it anymore.

Dove Style+Care hairspray. To keep my hair from flying everywhere. We will be outside for one day, after all.

Dove VisibleCare bodywash. I managed to acquire a travel size of this a while back, and it's actually filled with Olay Silk Whimsey, soooo. Yeah.

CVS Cleansing Towelettes. They're literally a Pond's ripoff, the ones I have, so I plastered on the closest thing I could find.    

Garnier Nutritioniste Moisture Rescue Foaming Cleanser. Speaks for itself. 

Clean and Clear Moisturizer and Astringent. Again, an obvious choice. Also trying to use these up to move on to better products.

Caudalie Vinosource S.O.S  Thirst Quenching Serum. If you've ever been to Michigan you know it's cold, and not the nicest to your skin.

Crest Pro Heath toothpaste. Travel size I got with my toothbrush travel kit when I went back to Fort Wayne one time.

Jergens Crema in Deep Conditioning Oatmeal. I don't do well in cold weather, and neither does my skin, so I'm bringing a little extra help this time.

Bath and Body Works Body Lotion in Rio Rumberry travel size. I have a couple of these guys, so another good way to get rid of them is taking them on trips.

Tissues. I'm going to need them, so I'm bringing a travel pack with me.

It's hard to say if I'll even really wear my makeup during this trip, but it never hurts to bring it with me ;;

   Rimmel London Stay Matte.    

Benefit "that gal" Face Brightening Primer

Benefit BADgal lash Mascara

Burt's Bees Rejuvinating Lip Balm with Acai Berry

Wet n Wild Natural Blends Lip Shimmer in Berry  

November Empties

Once again, no pictures -- sadly -- belong to me. Compliments of Google!

So, I see a lot of Empties posts on the beauty blogs I check religiously, and thought 'hey, that's a nifty idea'. It's always nice to see people use what they buy, what they think of it, etc. so I figured I'd do the same!I have a lot of products to get rid of (I get a lot for Christmas, my birthday, random gifts, whimsy purchases), and since I'm coming back onto the beauty scene for the first time since high school, I figured it's time to go out with the old and in with the new.

Onsen with Shichi Complex Daytime Bliss

Now, I don't have the complete kit, just the lotion. I discovered this lotion while packing for the move from Fort Wayne to Columbus. While I can't say it's my favorite lotion -- it feels clingy and suffocating at first, and doesn't smell like peppermint and eucalyptus at all! -- it did the job, and provided me with moisture all through the day and night.

What am I replacing it with? ;; Bath&Body Works Triple Moisture Body Cream in Moonlight Path

Would I repurchase it? ;; No.
Where you can buy it ;; onsensecret.com
Normal Price ;; This lotion is no longer for sale, but their other lotions go for around $17.95

Caswell-Massey Almond & Aloe Hand and Body Emulsion

Another little sample I found in the move. I love, love, love this product! It's super hydrating, and has a great smell that lasts for a long time. It's a shame the bottle we had was only 1flOz, and half empty. I would have been using it as my daily moisturizer instead of just for my hands.

What am I replacing it with? ;; Ulta Hand Cream in Candy Cane

Would I repurchase it? ;; Yes!

 Where you can buy it ;; caswellmassey.com
Normal Price ;; $14.00 for the hand cream, $20.00 for the lotion seen above.

Curel Natural Healing Soothing Moisture Lotion for Dry Skin

Okay, so I've had this lotion for a good four years maybe, and it's only travel size. Truthfully, it wasn't my favorite. It was too watery to begin with, and didn't really give me the moisture I needed during show choir season (and if you know anything about show choir, you know we're traveling every weekend, using so much product it hurts, and generally destroying our hair and skin). 

What am I replacing it with? ;; Ulta Hand Cream in Candy Cane

Would I repurchase it? ;; No.

 Where you can buy it ;; Any drugstore.
Normal Price ;;I've seen it for $8.49, but the prices vary.

Bath & Body Works Shower Gel in Moonlight Path

What am I replacing it with? ;; Olay Silk Whimsy Moisturizing Body Wash with rose extract & almond oil

Crest Pro-Health Complete in Fresh Mint

I wasn't big on mouthwash -- or dental health at all, sad to say -- before I moved in with my dad. We picked this up, thinking 'oh good, something that WON'T burn when using it', but perhaps the burn is a good thing. This stuff tastes like soap, pure and simple, with maybe a HINT of mint. It doesn't leave your mouth fresh for very long, and everything we had to eat throughout the day actually tasted like soap as well.

What am I replacing it with? ;; ACT Anticavity in Mint

Would I repurchase it? ;; No.

 Where you can buy it ;; Any drugstore.
Normal Price ;; $4.68
