Going on a mini-holiday this summer and not sure what products to pack in your cosmetics bag? Makeup artist Karen Malcom Pye helps us stock up on all the essential beauty products you can bring along with you with her list below.

Vivier Quintiserum

This serum will do all you need on a weekend getaway. It’s filled with vitamin C and E and peptides, so it will hydrate and help give you a sunkissed glow. Long-term use will help to strengthen the elasticity in the skin, boost collagen and fight aging.

Ultra-Zinc Body & Face Non-Tinted SPF 40

We love this sunscreen because it’s perfect for every skin type. Its zinc base blends almost invisible into the skin. Plus, it’s reef-friendly and water-resistant, so it’s great for the beach. These products work together to even out your skin and set in in that glow.
