We all have products we never go on
vacation without. Urbanette’s Editor in
Chief, Hilary Rowland, has tried a lot of
products over the years. A lot. And these
are the ones that make it into her travel
bag each time.
A Great Bag
“I throw everything in my carry-on
travel bag by Massimo Dutti. I love all
the hidden pockets. Gone are the days
of fumbling around in the bottom of
my bag for my phone or passport.”
Natural Makeup
“I absolutely love Dr.
Hauschka’s makeup line. Not
only does it blend much better
and look more natural than my
previous favorites (MAC, Nars,
etc.), but the line is completely
free of toxins. My essentials are
their eye shadows, bronzer and
blush.”
Sun Hat
“The sun is the leading
cause of premature aging.
I burn easily so I stuff this
hat by Mad Bomber in my
day bag. It’s great because
it can get squished in your
suitcase and pop
back into shape.”
Sexy Sunglasses
“These shades
by Velvet are so
glamorous. I wear
them all the time.”
Argan Oil
“I never go far without my
Acure Argan Oil. It works as a
Ten-in-One. I use it to nourish
and moisturize my face and
body, fight wrinkles, remove
eye makeup, condition my
hair… it’s also great for adding
a subtle sheen to arms and
legs.”
Pashmina
“I love just about anything
ombre, and Dessy pashminas
are no exception. They look
gorgeous around your neck and
are perfect for breezy nights.”
Comfy Flats
“I never forget my Toms flats. I love
their bemini and ballet styles. They
take up almost no space, are super
comfy, and give back to the world.”
Tablet & Phablet
“I had an iPad, but I gave it away in favor of
my Samsung Android tablet, which is way
more customizable and fun. I used to lug my
laptop with me on vacation and mostly end up
working off my Samsung Galaxy Note phone.
This tablet is so much more convenient than a
laptop – and much easier to carry.”
Nail Polish for
Touchups
“I always bring along a
bottle of Butter London
or Crabtree & Evelin nail
polish for touch-ups. Both
brands are free of the
main toxic ingredients
that most polishes have.
Nobody wants chipped
polish while traveling.”
Glamorous Jewelry
“I love Marlyn Schiff jewelry because
the items give you a great high-end look
without being expensive, so if
you forget them at the pool,
you can just buy another
pair.”
Sexy Bikini
“My favorite bikini is a
Brazilian cut suit by Vix.
Well made and oh so
sexy! Shan is another
favorite.”
