But the constant partying and gift buying and endless loops of the same ten songs can get you down after awhile. But nothing, and I mean nothing, gets people down more than holiday travel. It can seem as if the whole world is going exactly where you are at exactly that same moment. Long lines at the airport and the stop-and-frisk tactics of the TSA have you irritated before you even get inside the dry, recycled air palace that is an airplane. Dehydrated and puffy, you stumble off of the plane, greet your relatives and immediately seek to wrap your taste buds in the creamy comfort of a spiked eggnog. Shoot. You deserve it, girl!

But what if there’s a better way? Master Beauty YouTuber Michelle Phan is a world traveler and fortunately for us, is not about that dry skin life. Michelle made one of her phan-tastic (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself!) videos detailing her long haul beauty and skin health regimen. And then it hit me– I had all of the answers right at my fingertips! I needed beauty that was TSA approved. That’s when the BeautiControl TSA Skin Survival Kit was born.

The TSA Survival Kit contains essential products to help you keep yourself as fresh as a daisy no matter how long of a flight. The kit includes Skinlogics™ Lip Balm, Platinum Regeneration™ Rejuvenating Eye Treatment, Nutri-Rich Oil, and my favorite, BC Spa Manicure Extreme Repair Hand Therapy.

Use Nutri-Rich Oil in your hair and pat it gently onto your face and smooth through your hair. Moisture barrier= check

Apply Rejuvenating Eye Treatment patches. These tighten the skin and help to retain moisture in the sensitive eye area. Make sure to bring two packs– prep yourself for roundtrip travel! Gentleman, please don’t be scared to do this, too. If eye patches are good enough for Diddy (remember this?), then they’re good enough for you!

Smear on some of that Lip Balm. Don’t be stringy, you know how much cracked lips hurt.

Don’t forget about your hands– seal them with Extreme Repair Hand Therapy.

There you go! Now you have a plan– your beauty, TSA Approved! I can’t guarantee you’ll have a turbulence free flight but I can promise you’ll look good when you get there.

Skin care is perhaps the most important thing you can do to enhance your image. You probably know that the skin is the human body’s largest organ and as an organ, it often is an easy visual indicator of our body’s health or distress. Clear, vibrant skin is a symbol of internal health — and all in a five second glance.

Take care to take care of your face by cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing with products that will keep your skin smooth and hydrated and remember that what works for your friend or that gorgeous celebrity might not necessarily work for you. That is what I love about BeautiControl’s Spa Facial line. Using the skin sensor technology and the online skin analysis quiz, you end up with a customized skin prescription. For instance, I have crazy oily skin with little evidence of sensitivity and loss of youth (lines, age spots and what not) and I was recommended the cleansing gel and toner with Alpha Hydroxy Acids ( AHAs) while one of my new clients was on the opposite of the oil spectrum and received the cleansing lotion and toner with Poly-Hydroxy Acids (PHAs). The quiz in and of itself is informative, causing you to really take stock of the things your skin is going through.

While your teeth still may be chattering and if you’re in Virginia, like me, looking forward to impending snow related doom, the very notion of spring may be a comical one. But in fashion, as in life, we’ve got to think ahead. And honestly, with all of the unpredictability this past season, spring weather could be upon us in no time.

This video, featuring the one and only Gary Jones– the Vice President of Marketing and Research at BeautiControl, gives us a 10 minute “I spy” view of New York Fashion Week’s biggest make-up trends: Pink, Pops of Color, Dark Drama and Lots and lots of lashes!
