I have a thing for travel gadgets and items that are made to make travel life easier. Thankfully, I don’t have to travel much for work anymore but when I do, I have a few that I like to use. This one is my go-to travel mirror as you can’t depend on lighting when you’re traveling. And now I’m adding this one to the mix.

So what is BEAUTY & THE BOX? It’s a makeup tray with 3 POP-UP cosmetic boxes to make your makeup items easy to reach. There are two different ones and shown here is The Beauty Traveler Lite.

I’ve actually been to Bali so when this brand, BALI BODY contact me to see if I wanted to try a few of their products, I automatically said yes! So what does this brand have to do with the Island of Bali? Well, not much. Like the hosiery brand, Bali, a name is just a name.

Bali Body is created in Melbourne, Australia and I know the island holds a sweet spot to a lot of Aussies since it’s a close vacation spot. So I’m guessing that’s the tie-in.

Looking at their product line, they make tanning oils, moisturizing lotions, and a few different types of self-tanners. I opted to try the Self-Tanning Mousse (6.7oz), Luxe Moisturising Lotion (5oz), and Face Tan Water (3.4oz), which makes up the Self Tan Heroes set they have ($75.95 @ balibody.com).

Overall, I love giving my bod some color but no so much my face. I have my foundation and concealer shades all set and don’t want to mess with trying to find my new match.

So for me, I was all in on the tanning mousse and lotion!

I never ever thought it would happen but I kind of with the masses right now – I’m more interested in skin care right now. I never thought it would happen and that I’d be somewhat bored with makeup. Don’t get me wrong, I still love trying out new liquid lipsticks but otherwise, I’m bored with it. Not sure how long it will last but it is a woman’s prerogative to change her mind!

So with that said, let’s talk about some skin care --

I was recently sent SKIN RESEARCH LABORATORIES Complexion Kit ($120 @ skinresearchlabs.com) to try out and wanted to share my thoughts with you on it.

This kit contains neuREFLECTION Complexion Perfecting Polish and two masks - neuINFUSION Contouring DRY Face Mask and neuINFUSION Contouring DRY Neck Mask. Mask are all the rage these days and I see so many of them when I visit ULTA and Sephora. I like that not only are they full of concentrated ingredients to help boost what ails skin but it’s also a nice me-time treat.
