Mad Hippie Travel Essentials Kit

The Travel Essentials Kit is a new holiday kit from Mad Hippie. It's a gorgeous new skincare kit with deluxe sizes of their best selling skincare. The products also come packaged in a nice little 100% recycled canvas pouch that is perfect for travel. The kit comes with the Jelly Cleanser, Triple C Night Cream, Vitamin C Serum and the Super A Serum.

The Jelly Cleanser is a daily cleanser that I like more as a second cleanser than a makeup remover. The texture is smooth and easy to use and it washes off without stripping skin of moisture. The Triple C Night Cream is powered by three forms of vitamin C, adaptogens & 19 skin-reviving actives and is a fabulous night cream that I like to use on days when I skip serums. Its very hydrating and leaves skin smooth, bright and balanced the next day.

The Vitamin C Serum is a lightweight, brightening serum with clean ingredients also formulated with doubled efficacy vitamin E & ferulic acid. Its fast absorbing and great for normal-dry skin. The Super A Serum is a clean retinol that combines three bioactive retinoids & bakuchiol. It helps improve overall appearance of skin including texture, sun damaged spots and plumps skin. I love this on rotation a few times in a week. A little goes a really long way with both the Vitamin C and the Vitamin A serums. Overall, a fabulous skincare edit for anyone who loves their clean skincare and a nice way to try out Mad Hippie skincare before splurging on full sizes.

Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Color Fuse Longwear Hydrating Glassy Lip And Cheek Blush Balm Stick

The Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Color Fuse Longwear Hydrating Glassy Lip And Cheek Blush Balm Stick ($34; sephora.com) is a great multitasking cream blush with a fabulously belndable formula. I love the easy to use packaging and the texture.

Its a smooth, creamy texture with an easy to use cream formula that I can just use my fingers to blend. The formula features a blend of fermented arnica, goji berry, fermented shiunko to add moisture and protect against free radicals. Its a clean formula that also doesn't compromise on pigment. I tried three colors from the range and love them all. Since I have pretty dry skin and love multitaskers, this one is a clear winner for me in terms of how balmy it feels on both lips and cheeks. Glassy Ginger is a muted nude pink, perfect for just a flush of color for a no makeup, makeup look. Glassy Rosetto adds a slightly warm pink tint without being over the top. Glassy Clove is a gorgoeus plum berry, perfect for this time of the year on both cheeks and lips. The formula leaves a dewy finish and looks very natural with or without makeup on. Overall, I'd highly recommend checking these out, especially if you have dry skin and like a quick, easy and blendable everyday blush!
