Packing Up Your Beauty Bag For Balik Kampung

It’s Balik Kampung season and if you haven’t packed, this is a guide for you on what to pack for your beauty bag!

 

First and foremost, never forget your sunscreen. You will be under the Sun while you’re visiting from one house to another and you’re exposed to it while driving, so it’s extremely important to bring your sunscreen to keep your skin protected from the harmful UV rays. 

 

Next, transfer your usual skincare products into travel sized bottles. From cleansers to toners, moisturisers and serums, you don’t have to bring everything back and just pick the most important ones. Storing them in smaller containers is useful so that you don’t have to carry a heavy load of bags. After all, you won’t be staying there longer than a week or two. 

 

Packing your makeup might be a tricky thing and you might feel the need to bring everything back to your kampung. This is where you have to plan your makeup look ahead of time and just bring your favourite makeup products, 2-3 of each category. 

 

For example, 3 lipsticks, 3 blushes, 2 eyeshadow palettes, and pack the others accordingly. You don’t need to bring 3 mascaras and 3 eyeliners, btw. It’s good to pack light so that you won’t be overwhelmed when you have to use your makeup during Hari Raya itself.

 

Don’t forget to bring your beauty sponge and a few of your trusted makeup brushes, along with a powerful setting spray and a makeup remover. The final two are so important because you need your makeup to stay as long as it can and you don’t want to end the day with your Raya makeup still sticking on your face! 

 

Insert your acne patches and a facial mask so that you can treat your skin the night before Hari Raya. Acne patches are crucial to treat those last minute pimples that decided to ‘beraya’ with you! Remember, never pop your pimple and just let it pop on its own.

 

Another two non-beauty items related but deserve a space in your beauty bag: deodorant and sanitary pads, especially those who will be menstruating during the balik kampung season. Even if you won’t, you can keep one or two, just in case! Or if any of your relatives need an emergency pad. Deodorant? Pretty self-explanatory. 

 

Now that you’re ready to balik kampung, be sure to double check your stuff so that nothing important gets left behind, especially your baju raya and shoes! 

 

From the entire Velvet Vanity family, we would like to wish our besties a warm Selamat Hari Raya and we hope that your celebration will be filled with blessings, abundance of joy and tons of yummy traditional delicacies. Stay safe!

    What if you could do one quick daily ritual to fortify your memory and make your thinking sharp as a tack? And what if it took just 7 seconds a day, and worked even for folks in their 80s and 90s?

    Would you try it for yourself? Of course right…

    Especially since it’s backed by solid science from Harvard and MIT. Science showing the true source of sharp memory and clear thinking is hundreds of millions of little-known “power cells” in your brain.

    And the best part…it doesn’t matter how old you are when you start.

    Let me know how this works for you, ok…

    Wait!

    Before your next meal do this simple 10-second ritual to put an end to your blood sugar swings and reverse scary diabetes complications…

    The secret has been hiding in the diets of African desert tribes. We only know about it now because of the work of one renegade Canadian research doctor.

    Here it is: https://tinyurl.com/mvha3x2t

    => 10-second pre-meal ritual to fix your blood sugar and end diabetes complications

    Cindy fixed her blood sugar swings and lost 43lbs with this ritual…

    John lost 27lbs and reversed his diabetes complications with this ritual…

    Now it’s your turn.

    PS. This blood sugar trick was previously known ONLY to personal clients of the renegade doctor in Canada who stumbled on the 10-second pre-meal ritual in his research lab…

    Weight loss stuck? You may have a toxic fatty acid that blocks weight loss.

    According to Newcastle University in England, this fatty acid forces fat cells to stream into your blood…

    And causes your body to pack on internal visceral fat.

    Once this happens, your fat-burning metabolism slows down to a crawl… your hormones completely shut down… and your body stores fat instead of burning it as energy.

    Fortunately, a renegade doctor from Japan has uncovered a natural “belly fat Drāno” juice that flushes out this toxic fatty acid from your body.

    67,129 folks are drinking this delicious juice every morning…

    And they’re losing an average of 28 lbs – in as little as 21 days!

    >>> drink 1 cup every morning to lose “spare-tire” belly in record time: https://tinyurl.com/4f88nb95

    Robert lost 62 lbs of deadly fat clogging up his arteries and completely transformed his body in his 40s.

    His wife Sonya also lost 38 lbs and 4 dress sizes… and it forced her to shop for a whole new wardrobe!

    To your good health!
