Travel Makeup and Skincare Picks

Today I am sharing a brief post of my travel makeup and skincare picks . My main goal when choosing the products was to add something that is multitasking, easy to use , something my skin is familiar with and something that won't spill, leak or explode during the trip 


Starting with makeup I picked the Clio Kill Cover Founwear Cushion. The compact is slim so it doesn't take much space plus it has semi matte - matte finish so I don't need a powder to set it in place

Next up is my favorite mascara from Essence easy to apply, gives fluffy voluminous lashes and easily removable with soap and water 


I added this I'M Meme Pep Balm (lip and cheek tint) for adding a pop of color to both my lips and cheeks. This is super pigmented and you only need a tiny drop to cover both lip and cheeks. You can also if apply it to the lids for.a monochromatic look . Highly recommended great moisturizing multitasking product



For sunscreen I selected Canmake Mermaid UV gel. This is a fool proof chemical sunscreen that is scent free, white cast free and works both as a primer and sunscreen. Zero pilling , adds a nice dewy finish.



For my cleanser I picked Banila Co All Clean Cleanser. This has a nice floral scent  . Makes really dense foam and washes off makeup and dirt from the face . 

Sombymi Yuja Niacin Toner deluxe size bottle contains the perfect amount of product for 1 month use. Watery texture, non tacky finish and brightening properties this is a really good option for travelling.



For serum I decided to add full size bottle from Be The Skin Zero pore serum. Since my skin is doing through problematic phase right now this serum has become a staple in my skincare routine .

Innisfree Green Tea Cream is a basic but good gel based cream that works for my oily skin type. It is scented but I  haven't noticed any breakouts from this break 


Lastly we have The Body Shop sport Deodorant I have tried many deodorant this the one that lasts for a ling time and prevents perspiration.

So this wraps up my travel recommendation posts. If you have anything to share. Feel free to comment down below

Vaen Beauty : Luxe Dreamy and Good Quality

 I recently got the opportunity to try a few products from a Chinese Makeup brand Vaen Beauty. Founded in 2019, brand has been creating beautifully crafted pieces of cosmetic which are not only pigmented but last pretty long as well. 



VAEN Emerald Wonderland Palette

Details: Create a dazzling eye look with Emerald Wonderland Palette!  The 4 highly pigmented velvety shades come in both matte and shimmers and blend beautifully to create either a soft, earthy look or make them pop with the richly pigmented, magnetic emerald.    Diffuse and blend the buttery smooth shades dry, or dial up the color intensity by adding a drop of water and using them wet!




I picked this one in particular because of green colour story. I don't have that many green and yellow eyeshadows in my collection so this really caught my interest


The packaging is made of cardboard with magnetic lid so it is really secure and doesn't open on its own. There are 4 shades in total

Two of them are matte while two of them are sparkly with metallic finish. This gets 10/10 for me for practicality, colour scheme, pigmentation and design. There is also a small size mirror which ia good for application





Wizard is a beautiful metallic green shade . It is intensely pigmented and applies great with both fingers and brush


Lily is a matte yellow shade. Usually yellow eyeshadows either don't have a good pay off or they apply patchy. This on the other hand is very pigmented . My only complain with this eyeshadow is that it rubs off easily if you try to add anything on top of it. Patting this with a wet brush solves this problem. Overall it is really beautiful and bright




OMG is a gold shimmer shade. This is cool toned gold color with a hint of gun metal. Great shade to use on its own or for inner corner highlight. 


Lastly we have brown down a matte brown shade . This is a great color for defining the crease. It can also be used for a smoky eye look. 


Vaen Star Radiance Highlighter - Golden Hour


With it very futuristic design and magnetized lid this highlighter really knocked the socks off my feet. Like seriously how cool is the wave like pattern embossed of the highlighter. The mirror included is really good quality. 




Introducing our pearl and gemstone-packed oil-based highlighter. The gorgeous Star Radiance Highlighter is as high-performing as it is beautiful to behold. Infused with prismatic pigments, each gorgeous shade reflects light in all the right places, giving your skin a 3D prismatic glow!

The buttery soft shades blend flawlessly into your skin to create an effortless shimmer for your cheeks, eyes, or decolletage. 






The shimmer particles are of variable size so when they catch the light they give crystal like effect to the face. Golden Hour is like a champagne gold colour. Really beautiful and suitable for all skin tones. I love to use this to emphasize my chesk bones and add light to the inner corner of my eye. The shimmer glow is almost blinding. 



Vaen Liquid Eyeliner in White


I prefer gel eyeliner over liquid eyeliner but this liquid eyeliner in pen packaging redefined the flexibility of liquid formula. I choose this in white color as it is quite trendy these days. 

 A water-resistant, highly-pigmented, matte liquid liner that glides on evenly and delivers precise lines with ease.This liquid eyeliner features a soft, felt-tip precision applicator. It is water-resistant and long-lasting, allowing you to create everything from sharp, thin lines to dramatic, bold lines. The design features a weighted metal handle provides control for effortless application







The pen itself is heavy has a beautiful metallic packaging. It is really well made and screams quality and finery. The bristles are soft yet firm and help to draw lines in fluid motion. This a matte liquid liner so once it dries down it is matte no glossy finish. Colour white is quite pigmented and a single swipe deposits really good colour on the lids. I love this for creating intricate designs and patterns on my face


Vaen Wonder Brow Brow Gel in Ash Grey 


I am obsessed with laminated brows these days but these are so pricey so I am looking for good eyebrow gels that can help me achieve defined eyebrows. This wonder brow gel looked promising on the website and so into my cart it went 




VAEN's Wonder Brow Gel is a highly pigmented eyebrow gel with a long-lasting, formula. To help achieve fuller-looking, more defined brows. The eyebrow gel offers full coverage with rich color payoff, adhering to brow hairs to build natural dimension and fullness. The customized small eyebrow brush is ideal for precise application without leaving any smudges.



Just like the eyeliner this has a beautiful solid packaging. What surprised me the most was the dual design of the bristles. As you can see on one shade the bristles are quite close to each other while on the other side they are spaced apart. Ths gel is slightly tinged and it has good hold for holding the brow hairs in place. The gel does deposit a bit of colour to the brows but it is okay it is not heavily pigmented. I like this one for fluffy defined eyebrows


So this wraps up my review for the brand Vaen Beauty. You can buy these products directly at their website. Use my code 'FARYAIG90' to get discount on your purchase.
