Traveling in the post-pandemic period can be harsh: vaccination, PCR tests, and many other things we have to consider before traveling. Besides that, we have to keep in mind the dangers of the sun, bites, and many more. The main thing is to remember and observe safety rules and adjust the usual composition of a travel cosmetic bag.
COVID-19 Protection
Quarantine measures have not been finally lifted in many countries, which means that collecting a suitcase must be revised. The first and most obvious change: health is beauty. Therefore, antiseptic, protective masks and gloves must lie between the sunblock and the nude lipstick. It is better to take several antiseptics: leave one in the room, and always carry the second with you. Reusable face masks are a tolerable replacement for a bunch of disposable masks, and they are also better to take with a margin: to have time to disinfect and change every two to three hours.
The principle “we will figure it out and buy it on the spot” will not work. The top way to stop the spread of the virus is to avoid crowding, and you should not rush out to the store for wet wipes if you can take them with you. The ideal option is to collect all the products or order in advance what you need.
What to Put in the Cosmetic Bag
Multifunctional Products
Leave-in micellar water can be used to cleanse and tone the skin. A long-lasting black pencil will work for both a smokey and a modest day hand. A creamy blush will work as a shadow and as lipstick.
Mini Bottles
There is no point in lugging a bottle of shampoo on a week-long trip. You can purchase a travel format to throw away used packaging and free up space. You can use mini-bottles for the cosmetics running out, but keep in mind that full-size packages will take up more space on the way.
Easy to Use Products
You probably won’t want to fiddle with an alginate mask after a long walk. Imagine if the new formula also causes allergies. That is why proven items should settle in a cosmetic bag.
“Am I Going to Use That?”
Ask yourself this question three times not to get a palette of thirty-five colors into a quiet mountain village on vacation in a sanatorium. You will not use it.
Skincare Products to Take on Vacation
Cleansing
Micellar water and makeup remover wipes are enough for a short trip. You can take with you a foam for washing or gel for an extended vacation.
Moisturizing and nourishing
You can’t do it without at least one nourishing cream on your trip. Take a couple of soothing masks if your skin does not tolerate moving. You can grab a bunch of cloth masks. Hydrogel patches will not interfere with the flight – they will relieve swelling. Do not forget about Hyaluronic acid to keep the skin hydrated and hand cream. Lotions, tonics, essences – take them according to your wishes and needs.
Protection
SPF is necessary not only at sea but also in snow-capped mountains or southern cities. Another helpful comrade is a nourishing lip balm: you can take tinting and kill two birds with one stone.
Personal hygiene
This shortlist of personal hygiene items will save you anywhere: shower gel and shampoo, balm and leave-in spray, soap, deodorant, individual hygiene product, comb, toothpaste, wet wipes.
Makeup
The products of this section depend entirely on your makeup habits. You can also add perfume, jewelry, a set of hairpins, and rubber bands.
Wrap Up
It is possible to travel with pleasure in the post-COVID-19 epoch, pick the products we have mentioned and go on the best vacation in your life. Don’t forget to put the SPF in your cosmetic bag!
Last night, Doja Cat held an album release party in Los Angeles for her latest project, Planet Her. Many familiar faces of the industry were in attendance including Normani, Khalid, French Montana, and Saweetie to name a few. Not to mention, everyone (including us) cannot seem to get over the ultimate girl squad link-up which included Saweetie, Chloe Bailey, Doja Cat, Ryan Destiny and Normani! They were all spotted snagging a flick and partying together at the event.
Doja Cat wore a full look by Fancí, styled by Brett Alan Nelson. Coming from the brand’s Fall 2021 collection, her look included the $250 Picnic Ruffle Skirt (Doja Cat is wearing the same skirt in a different custom color) and $320 Romance Corset.
Chloe Bailey stunned in a $225 Mah-Jing Wong Moon 01 catsuit, styled by Zerina Akers. The catsuit hails from the brand’s Pretty Guardian Volume 2 collection, appearing in a sheer fabric with colorblocking yellow tones along with a raw-edge hem. She finished the look with a yellow clutch handbag and bronze heeled sandals.
Ryan Destiny stepped out in a full Auné look, styled by Scot Louie. Her look included Auné’s Orange Trompe L’oeil Sculpture Print gloves, scarf and bandeau midi dress. In the picture, she poses with Chloe Bailey, Elijah Blake, La’Britney, and Symphani Soto.
Saweetie worked a dress by Albanian designer Edité, styled by Wilford Lenov. She paired the look with a pair of Stuart Weitzman heeled sandals. The square neck dress features a cutout side detail which is actually laced up with a crystal-embellished string. The crystal embellished lace-up feature also poses as the dress’s straps.
Normani was also in attendance wearing a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier dress from Pechuga Vintage, which she paired with coordinating blue lingerie. The dress is from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2021 collection titled “Parisienne Punk”, appearing in a “troupe loeil suit print” on mesh fabric. She also wore a pair of black triple-strap heeled sandals along with a set of gold bangle bracelets, drop earrings, and a necklace. Kollin Carter and Aaron Christmon styled her look.
Kanye West is the first black fashion billionaire.
Those who have made massive fortunes from fashion are an exclusive bunch; Bernard Arnault leads the herd as the richest man in the world and the head of conglomerate LVMH. The French businessman has amassed $110 Billion thanks to his glittering portfolio of over 70 brands including Louis Vuitton, Fenty, Givenchy, Sephora, and Dior.
Other fashion billionaires? Amancio Ortega of Zara, Phil Knight of Nike, Francois Pinault of Kering (Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen and Gucci), and Ralph Lauren.
In April, Kanye West joined the Billionaire’s Club , with Forbes tabulating his net worth at $3 Billion. While West is most known for his music (and his antics), according to Business Insider, the majority of West’s fortune comes from his ownership of his fashion brand, Yeezy, which was valued at $3 Billion. West is the sole owner.
West’s relationship to the fashion world has been one characterized both by controversy and blockbuster success. His status as a taste maker and trendsetter are undeniable, and his innovative ideas, though met with derision at first, eventually find legions of loyal fans.
Despite his alien-esque foam runners selling out in less than a minute and lines forming around the block for his Yeezy sneakers, Kanye always seems to take the stance that he is fighting an uphill battle in the fashion industry. Who could forget when he notoriously complained about gaining access on Sway in the Morning, yelling, “You Ain’t Got the Answers, Sway!” when the radio host asked him why he couldn’t bootstrap his own fashion brand.
But it seems Ye has had all the answers all along. Through his wildly successful collaboration with Adidas, and now his forthcoming collection with the GAP, West is on the path to industry domination.
What do you think? Is Kanye West the future Steve Jobs of style?
