Summer may technically be winding down according to the calendar, but honestly, the weather is still screaming summer! So we thought it was the perfect time to open one of our favorite conversations here at World Bride Magazine: What’s in Your Beauty Bag?
Here’s a beauty fact worth remembering: our skin is constantly renewing itself. The outer layer continuously sheds older cells as new ones move toward the surface. National Center for Biotechnology Information – Skin Physiology
And just like the seasons change, your skin—and your beauty routine—can change, too. Knowing your skin type and paying attention to what it needs is a great place to start. A dermatologist can help you understand your skin, while professional facials can be a wonderful addition to your self-care routine.
Because I travel frequently, hydration is always on my mind. I’m a member of Guerlain Spa at the Waldorf Astoria NYC , and I love giving my skin some extra attention. I also admit that I don’t use one complete skincare system. I mix and match—and, for me, it works!
Some of my beauty-bag favorites include IMRIL Beauty Hydrating Facial Cleanser, Guerlain’s Orchidée Impériale collection, and Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base.
For those of us of a certain age, our skincare needs can evolve. That’s where ingredients such as hyaluronic acid can become part of the beauty conversation.
Then comes the fun stuff! Beauty Power has become my new discovery for keeping those brows tidy. And don’t forget your nails! Gaoya Cuticle Oil Set is a great addition to your nail-care routine, while Duri gives us plenty of beautiful nail-color choices when we’re ready to add a little personality to our fingertips.
And if your lashes aren’t quite as full as you’d like, She’s Iconic Lashes offers different lash styles and tools. Just remember, ladies—keep it classy! For a simpler approach, Wander Beauty’s Mile High Club Mascara is an easy, portable choice.
When it comes to complexion, I like Carolina Herrera’s Nude Couture Triple Moisture Serum Foundation, while Danessa Myricks Beauty’s Yummy Skin offers another fresh, polished option.
And never underestimate a great lip color! A beautiful Carolina Herrera lip can give you that finishing touch—and depending on the shade, can even double as cheek color.
As for the bag I was rocking this summer? My Los Feliz Medium Tote by La Sak was a winner because all those compartments meant I wasn’t digging through a bottomless beauty bag looking for my lipstick!
Some of these favorites will definitely be making the transition into fall with me.
