6 Beauty Travel Must-Haves with Colleen Rothschild

We all know by now I love and regularly write about Colleen Rothschild Beauty. I have used this skincare line since 2016 and my skin has been all the better for it. It has taught me the benefit of sticking to a skincare routine and that time and quality spent on my skin is worth it for less irritation, fewer breakouts, and glowing, soft, happy skin. But I have a weird habit when traveling: I tend to go minimal and use samples and travel sizes from my linen closet, rather than sticking with what's tried and true, good for my skin.

Colleen Rothschild has travel kits of their bestsellers called the Capsule Routine Starter Kit and once I got one, it was a travel gamechanger. Now I can have TSA-friendly sizes of the skincare proven to keep my face happy in a chic and convenient travel bag. Not only that, but most of the containers are refillable. I just fill them back up after each trip and have them ready for my next adventure.

I am writing this while on travel; my friend and I went to North Carolina to a relative's house and I packed my Colleen Rothschild beauty travel must-haves which include the Capsule Routine Starter Kit but also a few others. I'll share what I packed and why I think they're so great for travel.

My Beauty Travel Must-Haves from Colleen Rothschild

Colleen Rothschild Capsule Routine Starter Kit

I've been recommending the Colleen Rothschild Capsule Routine Starter Kit for a long while. If you want to test out this beauty brand's skincare bestsellers, it's a great way to go. It also has everything you may need for a getaway in containers that adhere to TSA specifications but also hold enough for at least a week's vacation.

Containing a cleanser, exfoliators, mask, day cream, night cream, and skin oil, your skin will be cared for without taking over your entire suitcase. We all know by now I love the Colleen Rothschild Radiant Cleansing Balm and that's included in the Discovery Collection. It also has the Dual Enzyme Polish, Clarifying Detox Mask, Sheer Renewal Cream, and Face Oil N°9.

Also included in the Starter Kit is a muslin cleaning cloth to use with the cleansing balm. I love getting it wet with hot water and letting it sit on my face until it cools, then gently wipe off the cleanser.

Colleen Rothschild Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream

When I travel, if I am not headed to a city, I usually go makeup-free, maybe adding a bit of brow gel. Even though I may get good sleep while on vacation, I have had dark circles all my life. This eye cream is phenomenal. It is thick, and it highlights and glows. A tiny bit goes a long way under the eyes and anywhere else you'd like moisture, glow, and a refreshed effect. I put some on my cupid's bow too. This also plays nice with makeup.

I am not sure how the Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream works on skintones darker than mine. There is one review on the site of someone who wished they would carry a darker/peachy version but still gave the product 5 stars for delivering brightening, and leaving the eye area looking and feeling hydrating.

Vitamin C Brightening Serum

I still like to be a bit more minimal when traveling to save space, so when it comes to treatments that go under my moisturizer, I stick to Vitamin C because it can be used in the evening or morning. The Vitamin C Brightening Serum is powerful with 15% stabilized Vitamin C (THD Ascorbate), Niacinamide, Superoxide Dismutase, and Pomegranate Extract yet I never have had a reaction to using it, even twice a day.

Unlike retinol and a lot of acids, Vitamin C isn't as photoreactive so you don't have the added worry when having a sun-filled getaway. While I still wear sunscreen and a hat when in the sun, my skin isn't as sensitive when using Vitamin C but I still get benefits of even skintone, brightness, and happy healthy skin.

My Flight Must-Haves from Colleen Rothschild

Colleen Rothschild Intense Hydrating Mask

If you plan on going on a plane, this face mask is amazing. I will head to the airport with no makeup (sometimes I will do brows). On the flight I will slather this on my face. Then depending on the length of the flight and what is happening once I land, I will do my makeup before we land or once I'm at the airport. No need to rinse off the mask, it will absorb and also plays nice with cosmetics.

The Intense Hydrating Mask is also great for long days in the sun or wind, to wear as an overnight mask for added hydration, or any time of the year at home or away when you want to get extra moisture without being greasy or sticky.

Colleen Rothschild Vitamin E Lip Moisturizer

I'm a lip balm collector. There are always some at the bottom of each bag, several on my nightstand, and you'll find them in bowls and drawers all over my house. Colleen Rothschild's the Vitamin E Lip Moisturizer has become a favorite.

I have one of these lip balms at my Peloton bike, one next to my bed, one in my day bag, and one in my toiletries kit ready for my next getaway. It has a delicious scent/flavor that's called Brown Sugar but tastes like a fantastic elegant cupcake. The squeeze tube is very well designed and doesn't get goopy or lose its cap. And the formula is thick enough that it will stay on even if I eat and drink through an entire flight. BIG fan!
