Hey guys it’s Mi-Anne,
and this is Beauty With Mi.
As you can see, we’re in a little bit of
a different location, we are in a hotel,
The Hoxton in New York City because
I am here on a stay-cation.
I decided that since I’ve been
traveling a lot this winter
and pretty much living out
of this makeup bag
that I would share with
you guys my travel beauty routine.
So, that is what we’re gonna do today,
before we get started though
please make sure you
are subscribed below, little red button,
and while you’re at it,
take out your phone and
follow me on Instagram @mianne.chan.
Okay so let’s get into it.
The first thing I’m gonna talk about
in my travel routine is my travel bag.
I’m not picky when it comes to
travel makeup cases as long as
its big and holds everything,
I don’t really care.
But this is a cool one
it’s by a brand called Mafia,
the bag is made out of upcycled sails so
it’s keeping a lot of old sails from
going into the landfill
plus it’s literally what
they use to sail on the ocean.
Weatherproof and all that jazz, so
it’s a really good and durable bag.
But, moving right along to what’s inside.
I’m gonna start off with my
morning skincare.
I actually tend to use
a lot of the smaller, sample size
products that I get throughout
the year.
The first of which is this
Fresh Soy Face Cleanser.
This is a great cleanser,
it’s very gentle, it smells really nice.
If I’m going to like use an oil
cleanser at night to take
my makeup off, I’ll use
this after.
It gets my skin really clean,
it gets all that oil residue off my skin.
And then I’ll follow up with a Rose Tonic
from Pixi.
I use this in the morning and the night.
Then I move along to serum.
So, the serum itself is super lightweight
it has a great, very easy to use package.
The pipette is really fun and satisfying
to use because it has this little pusher.
What’s really nice about it is that
it is such a thin, fast absorbing
layer to put on in the morning.
It’s full of antioxidants,
it has Vitamin C to brighten,
Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate.
It’s a really great like step before
moisturizer because it doesn't
add an extra textural layer
to your skin,
especially when if you’re gonna wear
makeup on top of it.
So, next up is moisturizers.
This is the Drunk Elephant
Lala Retro Whipped Cream.
Really great moisturizer.
It’s so rich but yet it absorbs very quickly,
so this is what
I use as my moisturizer.
In the summer actually I would
probably just skip moisturizer
and just go straight to sunscreen,
but it’s the winter now
and I need this extra
layer of moisture before I
go into my daytime
sunscreen.
So, this is a little mini size
of the C’est Moi
mineral sunscreen.
It has no fragrance, no parabens,
no phthalates, no sulfates,
it’s a really nice lightweight
sunscreen.
It absorbs quickly,
kinda feels just like
moisturizer to be honest.
Let’s move on to makeup slash
things that I do to like gussy
myself up in the morning, and we’ll
start with this Ohii Magic Hair Wand,
I’m sure you guys are so tired
of me talking about
this hair wand, but I love it so much.
I’ve been using it to tame fly-aways
where I get some breakage
because my hair is so
bleached.
And it really helps kind of
smooth everything
down, it doesn’t feel crispy,
it makes my hair look so much fresher.
So, then moving onto makeup,
and I start off with
just concealer actually.
I really like wearing just concealer
all over my face in lieu of foundation.
So, this is like one of my favorite ones
right now, this is the Laura Mercier
Flawless Fusion
Ultra Longwear Concealer.
I’ve been using it for months
and I adore it.
Feels like skin and looks like skin,
it’s just so good.
So, next up is blush it is a blush
stamp.
So, you pop out the top,
and it’s a little heart,
look at this little sponge.
Then you pop the bottom off,
stamp it in there, and you stamp
it onto your cheeks and then
you blend it out, and it’s so cute.
You know, it is a larger product,
but I’ve been kind of stepping away
from bronzer lately
and just wearing more blush on my cheeks,
so I haven’t been bringing a bronzer
so I feel like it’s
okay that I’m bringing this kind of
larger item with me.
So, next up is powder and
I’ve been traveling with this one,
which is actually really special
to me because my mom
gave me this vintage Guerlain pressed
powder compact.
So, I’ve had this powder for a
really long time, and it’s
very sleek and compact so
keeping it in my makeup bag when I’m
traveling is really great and it’s just nice.
I just think it’s such a beautiful product,
and it reminds me of my
mom whenever I use it.
Then moving onto highlighter,
and this is an oldie but
a goodie in my opinion.
It’s called the Champagne Rose Luminizer.
If you’re looking for that very dewy skin
look, RMS is a great brand to look at.
It is so beautiful,
it’s also a really small little pot
that lasts forever, so it’s really easy
to throw in a bag.
So, moving onto eyes,
now this is where at home I would
experiment with a lot of different
colors, but when I’m traveling
I like to keep things simple
especially because I’m
usually with family, I don’t have
a ton of time to get ready in the morning.
So, obviously I always start off
with a primer, this is the NYX Proof It
Waterproof Eye Shadow Primer.
It’s a good primer, it doesn’t feel like
anything on the lids so it’s very easy to
layer up on.
So, moving on, I got
some Nudestix eye pencils here,
and these are really
easy products to throw in a bag and use.
They last a really long time
on the eyelids and the shades that I
brought with me this time
are Copper Foil and this one called
Queen Olive.
This one’s a really beautiful like warm
bronze that you can wear
all over the lid,
they’re very easy to blend.
And then this is kind of an
Olive-y metallic shade that I used today
on my upper lash line,
but you can wear it all over the lid
as well, you can do something
smoky with it.
It’s very, very fun you do
have to sharpen them, though.
So, what I’ll do is I usually sharpen
them before I leave
and then when I come
back if I need more I’ll sharpen
them again.
So, obviously I am wearing just
those today, but I always, always,
always bring along a liquid
eyeliner as well.
This is one of my favorites, it’s the
DHC Liquid Liner,
and it is such a good eyeliner
I’ve turned so many people on to it.
So, this is a great one just to have
all the time in every bag.
Honestly, I travel with it, but
I also just have it in my purse
pretty much 24/7.
So, next up is mascara,
and I always obviously curl my
eyelashes this is the Tweezerman
Eyelash Curler, a little dirty because
I’ve been using it for a very long time,
but this is a great,
inexpensive eyelash curler.
And then I follow up with a
waterproof mascara, so I kind of look at
waterproof mascara as
like the hairspray for your eyelashes.
They keep my eyelashes up all day,
I need a waterproof formula
it’s pretty much a
deal breaker for me.
Finally, for makeup I have the
Glossier Generation G Lipstick
this is the shade Crush.
It’s a really easy lipstick
just to throw on.
It’s essentially a matte tinted lip balm.
I don’t think it is super duper hydrating,
so I do like to layer a little bit of lip
balm underneath it.
But it is a beautiful
just like bitten color.
Typically, if I’m like going for a longer
time I’ll also throw in a red lipstick
as well.
Alright so that is all the makeup
and now we can talk about taking it
all off in the evening.
So, moving on to the night routine.
Basically, the only things that change
in my night routine from my
morning routine is my cleanser
and my night serum.
So, starting with the cleanser, I will still
use the Fresh Soy Cleanser,
but before I use that I’ll use
this cleansing balm from Eve
Lom.
It smells so good, like a spa.
I just take a little bit into my hands,
warm it up, put it on my face to
kind of melt
away the waterproof mascara and all
the makeup I was wearing,
and then I’ll follow up with
the soy cleanser to rinse all of that off.
Then my serum is this one
from Drunk Elephant,
it’s the TLC Glycolic Night Serum.
It is an amazing serum, I’ve been using
it for like two years, I talk about it
to literally anyone who will listen.
It’s expensive, it’s $90 for a tube,
but it’s worth it.
It has acids in it, AHAs,
Glycolic Acid that’s really great for
softening lines but also
really great for acne and
acne scarring.
It’s perfect.
And to finish off the skincare portion,
I obviously will use a lip balm.
This is the Bite Agave Lip Mask.
Classic, very hydrating.
So, I use this morning and night
but I’ll really slather it on in the
evening.
And last but not least,
the I guess you would say
the most boring part of the routine, but
deodorant...essential.
This is the Follain Under Cover Deodorant,
and it is a lovely
charcoal-infused deodorant,
it smells very fresh.
It does a decent job of
absorbing underarm sweat, and
it keeps you from getting too stinky.
It’s good.
Alright, and that is it.
That was a lot of product.
