The holidays are here- ready or not!- but there’s no need to let traveling woes get to you or your beauty products! We at BB5 are serving up sample-sized wisdom for flying and driving pretty and safely like a polished pro.
Think Small!
With Black Friday looming ahead, you want to have some room in your suitcase for any emergency purchases- soft leather boots or suave lipstick sets on sale are an emergency, right?- so we love transferring our most-loved products to chic travel bottles to save space and keeping them closeby! Once you’ve set those bottles aside, cut down more space by butting out a bottle of hand sanitizer and downsizing to antibacterial wipes, too! If you’re flying, we strongly recommend carrying your must-haves miracle products in your carryon bag, just in case your luggage gets lost or delayed.

Stress Less!
Jetsetting and gridlock traffic can wreak havoc on your skin and your patience, but a few small indulgences can help calm your mind and your complexion. We adore a rose mist to refresh our faces on the plane or at rest stops driving, and during holiday hustle-and-bustle, antiperspirant wipes are a girl’s best friend and take up way less room than your already-packed deodorant. Flashing a smile when we finally see our relatives (or a cute stranger sitting in our plane’s row) is a priority, so we keep it fresh with flosspicks, and we feel more like ourselves with a travel-size fragrance atomizer of our signature scent! Finally, having something to look forward to when you finally arrive- like unwinding with a mask- is always a good idea.

Majorly Moisturize!
The air onboard airplanes or in new locations can be a big change from what your skin is used to, so pack on the moisture everywhere! We travel with hair oil for our ends and live off lip balm, but also like to bring everyday lotion, body butter and some miracle salve for options.

So keep that pretty head high when you travel and have a majorly-beautiful Thanksgiving!

Thought we’d join Vine with some help from Chapstick's Hydration Lock from this month's box.

It appears that I’m channeling my inner beach bunny.
No, I’m not tanning (no lotions or UV rays over here), but I am saying goodbye to a dreary winter state of mind with the help of coconuts.
Our January box brought a little summer love back into my life with Epic Blend’s coconut lip balm. Made from organic hemp seed oil, this little guy feels great on my lips and keeps them lipstick ready.
Plus, if the smell wasn’t enough to win you over, you should know that none of Epic Blend’s lip balms contain gluten, GMOs, petroleum, OR parabens. And they aren’t tested on animals. Boom.
