Beach read? Check. Sunglasses? Check. Eres bikini? In the bag. Deciding what to pack for a summer getaway is a challenge even before you consider what goes in your travel makeup bag. Let VIOLET GREY do the thinking for you with itemized lists for which beauty necessities to pack pending your destination.
For the poolside cabana queen, there are SPF options that keep the gams gleaming and a limited edition Tom Ford lipstick, Skinnydip, for a summery lip tint. For the urban escapist there are French oils to keep hair smooth on the beach and refreshing face mists to keep complexions cool following a soul cleansing yoga session. And for those who prefer to remain in their urban jungles, with the thermostat set at 72 degrees, there are sophisticated self-tanners to proffer a sun-kissed glow without ever setting foot outside of your climate controlled abode. Read on to find your own customized beauty wardrobe packing-list for your own swift escape from reality.
For the sun seeker who considers a “lap around the pool” a surveillance tactic rather than a cool-down methodology.
