When I was wondering what the heck to take with me to pack-- given that I can't use my make-up kit as a carry-on, the first person I thought of to ask was my friend Tim Quinn, Giorgio Armani Beauty's National Creative Director .

Thank goodness, he answered in a snap!! Here's what he suggested:

Waterproof Mascara -- Armani's Eyes to Kill Mascara is a great choice but it's not waterproof. The trick would be is to find a drugstore waterproof in brown or clear and apply it over the Eyes to Kill in Brown Copper to emphasize the shimmer of the tropical water and colors.

Definitely a palette - such as Giorgio Armani 'Bronze Mediterranean' Palette which has a bronzer and four shadows.

( Killer isn't it? It's gorgeous for wherever you are going-- even if it's local)

Get little free dramming pots from the beauty counter and pump in enough foundation to get you through the trip. Get a week's supply of Crema Nera sample packets for moisturizer!

I love the Garnier Make-up Remover Towelettes .

I love the Beauty Elixir from Caudelie as a refreshing mister.

And I never leave home without Vie Luxe votives.

This is the set of St. Barths votives..

Also Tim Quinn uses the Hamptons Suncare SPF 55 Continuous Mist Sunscreen. This is a new and highly innovative product that is water-resistant and provides UVA/UVB protection. Considering that you can spray this on from any angle, this sunscreen makes it totally easy to apply to those hard to reach spots. It also contains Vitamins A, C, E, aloe vera and moisturizers to help it rapidly penetrate the skin providing you with smooth skin that's getting nourished while giving you sun protection too.
.

I managed to connect with Hamptons Sun Care about this product which sounds absolutely amazing. Wish I could get to a place it's sold to be able to pack this one.
Caudalie heard that I was hunting down the the Beauty Mist and suggested that I mention 2 other products that would be nourishing and protective to skin while going "tropical"
For those with dry skin, an intense hydration moisturizer with great essential oils to give your skin radiance and suppleness, try Vinosource Moisturizing Concentrate

For those with normal to oily skin, Caudalie suggested this treatment:Vinopure Purifying Concentrate which will balance skin out.

Now the trick will be is to find the time to get all this before I leave (which is before you actually see this post-- since I am frantically writing to get time to pack)

My appreciation and thanks to Tim Quinn, Armani Beauty Creative Director, for the beauty tips and how to make everything work without schlepping a ton of products! Also thank you to Caudalie and Hamptons Suncare for all the great information!!
