There’s just something about hitting the open road for a few days as well as getting out of Dodge, as well as with every trip I take, I discover new lessons about makeup as well as beauty, among other things (and re-learn a few lessons that should have slipped my mind).
Like on this last trip to Tahoe, I learned…
1. To capture out the air from bags as well as tubes of charm products before altering your altitude
It being a road trip as well as all, I didn’t feel constrained by airline luggage limits, so I kinda let myself go buck wild with my packing.
I kept throwing products into my bag, one after another, without reservation, up until it was bursting at the seams! — as well as I didn’t believe anything of it up until we shown up at the lake.
Then, doop-da-doo, there I was, getting prepared for dinner on the very first night when I grabbed a bottle of MAC studio Sculpt Foundation, twisted off the cap as well as GLURGH!
On the method to a lookout at the top of the mountain in the Heavenly Gondola
A big glob of studio Sculpt squirted around my hands, the restroom sink as well as the tiled floor, as well as essentially continued slowly oozing for the next two minutes.
My very first reaction? Tabs! Or evil charm gnomes. however when I gathered my thoughts, I figured that it was most likely because of the modification in air pressure. With the air pressure higher at sea level back at house than it was at the lake (6,225-foot elevation), the studio Sculpt wished to escape!
The view of the lake from the halfway point up the mountain
NOTE TO SELF: next time I drive someplace higher in elevation (I believe airplanes are pressurized to reduce the effect), I requirement to keep in mind to capture as much of the air out of any type of tubes as well as baggies before packing.
2. What goes well with smoke-filled casinos? Answer: dry shampoo!
I’m low level when it concerns gambling as well as typically steer remove of the table games as well as routine slots, however I might sit in front of Kitty shine for hours with a handbag full of pennies.
Of course, because the casinos in Nevada enable smoking, that implies cigarette-scented everything.
Heavenly tweeting…
Even a quick walk with one of the casinos to save from having to walk around the block was sufficient to pick up the scent, so I figured, why laundry my hair when I understand it’s just gonna get smokey? instead of washing with shampoo every morning as well as night, I skipped a couple times as well as “washed” with dry shampoo instead.
Fine powders that you either spray or sprinkle on your hair, dry shampoos absorb excess oil, provide your roots a lift as well as take in unwanted odors.
The lodge at the top
I brought a travel-sized bottle of Oscar Blandi’s Pronto unnoticeable Volumizing dry Shampoo Spray on this trip as well as spritzed it on my roots in the morning before leaving the hotel. After spritzing, I combed it with with a clean as well as put my hair in a low bun.
It made the smokey scent much more bearable as well as saved me valuable Kitty shine time in the morning.
3. wet Ones Wipes are wonderful!
You’ve most likely heard this before, however I believe it’s worth discussing again.
WET ONES WIPES!
Dang, if those bit wipes aren’t the handiest things to have on a trip. among their numerous uses, they likewise make fantastic improv clean cleaners.
MAINOS
I like to have at least a few in my handbag anywhere I go. ideal for when I surface a marathon game of Kitty shine as well as want to freshen my paws.
