Airport Makeup and Outfit

As you're reading this, I'm probably all settled at home all snuggly in bed with my puppy! I thought I'd share what I wore to go to the airport and what makeup I thought was perfect for such an early flight. (I left at 6:55 A.M.)

When I fly, I find it best to go for comfort. Obviously, I try to look at least a bit stylish, but all I really care about is making sure nothing is too tight or pinching me while I'm on a plane.


 Here's what I wore....



Shirt: Target | Pants: American Apparel | Jacket: Urban Outfitters | Scarf: NYC Street Vendor | Shoes: Nike | Hat: Urban Outfitters

This was a great outfit because the jacket brought in a bit of that style I wanted, but the t-shirt and sweats made it oh so comfortable! Adding a scarf is also essential!



For the makeup, I went really basic. First off, as I mentioned in my last post, you want to be super moisturized while flying because it drys you out. I primed with two different moisturizing primers to help keep myself hydrated. Since my flight was super early in the morning, I wanted a look that not only brightened me up, but looked natural and worked up my glasses.

I used the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind under my eyes and then very lightly gave my crease definition using the Naked Basics palette, finishing with a shimmer shade across my lids. After that, all I needed to do was draw in some really thin liquid liner and add mascara. For a final 'Wake Me Up' vibe, I added white eyeliner on my lower water line and gave my inner tear duct a bit of a highlight.



This works great under glasses and for flights because I still feel super hydrated, and I'm not wearing too much product on the face.

What's in my bag: Airport Edition

With Thanksgiving in a few days, I'll be flying home for the holiday (my first time in my college career!) and I'm so excited. I thought I'd share with you what's in my bag for the airport - the essentials for traveling!

1. LP Blue Black Satchel Bag {this is the same bag I mentioned in my last What's in my Bag, but it's a great one for travel. It has a bunch of room and is stylish and chic}

2. A Good Book {I think I'm going to start reading #GirlBoss by the NastyGal CEO Sophia Amoruso, it's supposed to be a great book and I love the brand}

3. My Iphone {pretty obvious one - I need this so I can play games and listen to music on a flight}

4. Kindle {I love to read so having my kindle full up with books is essential for flights}

5. A Comb {I'm not sure about you, but often I'll fall asleep on a flight and my hair will become a huge mess, so having a comb is helpful so I can put myself together post-airplane}

6. A Comfy Hat {especially as it's winter, I love having a super comfy hat on my head. It's especially great when napping on the flight and I don't have to worry about my hair}

7. My Camera {I need this, especially because I love documenting the fun things I get up to}

8. Snacks!!!!! {I'm a snacker, always, so having a little treat is probably in the top 3 airplane essentials for me}

10. Lotion {high altitude drys out your skin so it's really important to keep yourself hydrated (with water) and to keep your skin all moisturized. I love this little Olay bottle because it's perfectly travel sized.

11. Sunglasses {pretty much another obvious one, gotta protect those peepers people}

12. Headphones {need these to go along with my phone, so I can listen to music, audiobooks, and watch TV on my laptop}

13. Big Scarf {a big, cozy scarf is one of my favorite things to bring on a flight no matter the season. It can double as a pillow and also is great for blocking out noise and light}

14. Emergen-C {one of my favorites of all time, I love this stuff. It keeps me healthy and tastes amazing}

15. Wallet {definitely cannot fly without my wallet which has all my IDs and money}

16. Lippies {I usually bring both a lipstick and lip balm on a flight and around with me in general. My YSL Nude Beige lipstick is a great everyday color and this EOS balm is perfect for keeping my lips hydrated and safe from the cold}

17. Hand Sanitizer {It's amazing the amount of germs there are in an airport, so having hand sanitizer when you travel is one of my top tips}

18. Hair Stuff {I always travel with multiple hair ties and hair clips because it's smart and you never know when you'll need to pop your hair up in a ponytail}

19. Mints {I never fail to have a Starbucks mocha while I travel so mints are needed to freshen it all up}

20. Eyedrops {I wear contacts so in the high altitude, my eyes will get especially dry. They'll also dry a bit when I sleep and keep my eyes closed too long so it's great to have a way to rewet them}

21. Makeup {I don't wear too much makeup on flight days but I like to have a few essentials with me for touchups. For me, that means mascara and concealer. I've got my #1 concealer the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind and a fave mascara,the Smashbox Full Exposure mascara}

22. A Mini Bag {I love this IPSY bag I got a few months ago, and it's where I put the makeup, hand sanitizer, hair stuff, eyedrops, and mints}

What do you put in your Airport bag? Any important essentials I missed?

Happy Traveling!
