What's in my travel bag?

Sharing a few of my favorite clean skincare and toiletries that I bring with me when I travel. All items are linked below!

Not all products by clean beauty brands are “clean” and not all products from non-clean brands are “dirty”.

One example is the Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm from Clinique - one of my absolute favorite makeup removers. I got this small tub as a sample, and I refill it from the larger tub. Great price and removes all my makeup. I will get a quarter-sized scoops and rub it over my dry face to remove makeup. Then, I rinse it lightly before washing with face wash. This Acure Radically Rejuvenating Whipped Night Cream is a great dupe for Drunk Elephant's Protini Polypeptide Cream (which doesn't pass EWG standards! Will explain what this means in the future, so stay tuned).

Essie is a great 8-free formulated nail polish - this Gel Couture formulation dries quickly and is thicker and shinier than regular nail polish. Great to bring when traveling if you didn't have time to get a manicure (or do a home mani) before you left. The brush on these is nice and wide, so makes for a quick paint time.

Grown Alchemist is a high quality clean beauty brand based in Australia. Definitely a bit pricier, but I often find great discounts on their products through FabFitFun (linked below if you aren't familiar or want to sign up). This Hydra-Restore Cream Cleanser is great for sensitive or dry skin - it is a creamier formula that doesn't foam up, but works great with the Clinique balm to remove all my makeup. Davids toothpaste is a natural toothpaste - this one in particular has baking soda, which I'm not a huge fan of, but great aftertaste. I found a spearmint one on FabFitFun that I ordered, so I will let you know how it is!
