Beauty: What I Pack in My Cuyana Travel Bag

Cuyana Travel Bag

Over the years I have learned to not only pack lighter but it is quality over quantity. When I lived in Paris I had one closet that was the size of my coat closet. Now in Chicago, I have four closets. There are two essentials I use when I travel, my cuyana travel bags which come in a set of two (I use one for toiletries and one for makeup) the other is my raden suitcase.  I haven’t traveled in two months but I am about to head into a crazy couple of months where I live out of my suitcase so I figured this is a perfect time to share my favorites and perhaps this will help you for your future trips.

This month I was lucky enough to the Sisley Box Ambassador. If you don’t know what it is, you are sent five samples from Sisley Paris that have a theme. This month was “at home spa” the samples come in a beautiful satin pouch and make the perfect travel companions. I have been a member of the Sisley Beauty Box for a few months now and I have been saving my favorite products for my travels. This means I can ease through security and never be without my favorite beauty products.

Hydration is so important when traveling. I drink a ton of water when I am flying and rarely drink alcohol up in the air. I cannot live without the following in my travel bag:

Sisley Paris Eye Contour Mask – This is essential when traveling and keeps the under eye circles and puffy eyes to a minimum. Let’s be honest when I land in Paris I actually look like my passport photos!

Cucumber Moisturizer – I use this one year round and it smells so good too! The full-size jar fits perfectly in my cuyana bag so I don’t have to worry about not having enough. I use this morning and night. *note one jar will last 6 months

Sisley Mascara “So intense”  You have to see the brush on this one because it literally gets every little lash of mine. I was not blessed with crazy lashes but this has definitely helped make them look fuller. For the days that I don’t wear any makeup I still put this on and it makes a huge difference. So if you are traveling keep this in your bag for when you land and you will look bright and refreshed.

Sisley Paris Phyto-Lip Twist – I carry this with me ALL the time and it adds a pop of color to my face even when I haven’t seen the sun in months (like now) I use this for meetings and date nights.

Sisley Tonic Lotion – After a long day of traveling having a refreshing toner is the best way to feel clean and remove the dirt and oil off of your face. I always pack cotton pads in my travel bag for toner, makeup remover, and applying my cleansing milk.

You may have noticed by now I love doing lists and this one ends at 5… but packing a fragrance is key in my travel bag. My friend Jennifer taught me to pack the sample size testers because they are perfect for travel! I just picked up the new Izia Sisley perfume it’s light and floral and perfect for Spring.

Cuyana is the brand that makes my favorite bag that I carry every day all day with me. I recently wrote about what I pack in my Cuyana
