Travel Products that will make you Bloom

I found Bloom Cosmetics one day while I was searching for travel beauty products. I decided to buy the Bloom Body Care Pamper Pack ($12.00, parkleigh.com) to give it a try. Each pack contains 2 sachets of each product:

Body Cleanser: Lavender and Grapefruit
Body Scrub: Citrus Blend, Peppermint and Pettigrain
Body Cream: Mandarin, Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang

I like the scent of each product and they have a cute illustration on each pack. Each product was easy to use and there was a pretty good amount in each packet.

Another Use for Clinique's Facial Moisturizing Lotion

Every now and then, I like to use Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion in a tube ($11.50 for 1.7 oz.) as a hand moisturizer. I know I'm suppose to use it for my face but I also like to use it for my hands it keeps them nice and soft. The good thing about this product is I only have to use just a little bit for my hands.

Changing of Moisturizer for the Summer

During the summer I must change my facial moisturizer to something a little lighter. I use Dove Sensitive Essentials Facial Moisturizer ($6.99, drugstores). My skin is always perfect during the winter but the minute the weather starts to warm up my skin starts to shine. I have oily skin but rarely any pimples just shiny skin.

This gives my skin just the right amount of moisture without making it super shiny. I know dewy skin is perfect for summer but not greasy and super shiny. It feel like it's whipped and I just use a small amount to my face and neck.

Moisturizing Body Oil

I love using Neutrogena Body Oil ($9.99, drugstores) because it makes my skin feel really soft.

I also like to add some to my bath for a moisturizing soak. Sometimes if a lotion isn't very moisturizing I will add some oil to it.

It has a light fragrance (there is a fragrance free version too) which I like.

It's cost effective because I don't use a lot of it.

Palmer's Olive Butter Body Balm

Even though this is not sandal season (depending on where you live), I still like to keep my feet nice and soft. I use Palmer's Olive Butter Formula Organic Body Balm ($5.99, drugstores).

Before going to bed, I rub this in and put on a pair of socks then in the morning I have smooth and soft feet. You can use this on other parts of the body too, I just like to use it for my feet.
