Hey!

So glad you stopped by! I’m a stylist + the owner of Gunn & Swain. This is my life + style blog where I talk about my creative projects, women who inspire me, new product launches, my home and family, and my love for San Diego and Southern California living.

IN MY TRAVEL BAG

Dusty and I are headed out to Buenos Aires in a couple of weeks so I'm prepping my packing list and travel-sized supplies.  For long trips like this, I have a well-stocked travel bag tucked into my carry-on so that I can get off the plane looking and feeling refreshed -- even if I got hardly any sleep.  Here's what I'll have in my Baggu travel bag for this flight...




ONE: I always feel like I smell like a stuffy airplane after spending hours cooped up on one so smelly lotion is a must-have.  Roses & coconuts are my favorite scents and this travel-sized version of the classic Crabtree & Evelyn Rosewater lotion is perfect.

TWO: After getting dried out from the elevation and stuffy air, I want to spruce up a bit and get some glow back into my skin.  I love Josie Maran's products SO much and this Argan Illuminizer is the perfect product for that.

THREE: Greasy hair is another side effect from a long flight.  I like Oscar Blandi's spray dry shampoo more than the powder and it's less messy.  Obviously you'll need to wait until post-flight to apply this... unless you're trying to get rid of a nosey neighbor. 

FOUR: My order is jacked so you'll want to wipe your face before applying the Illuminizer.  Face wipes are so nice and refreshing after a long flight and once again, I love Josie Maran's biodegradable, non-toxic version.

FIVE: I got this Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment as a sample from Sephora in my last order and I am obsessed.  It's like a fancier, nicer-smelling version of Vaseline.  I love it. 

SIX: I haven't tried this Talika Eye Decompress Mask yet but I'm thinking of picking up a pack of these for my trip.  Obviously when you're exhausted and puffy, you need an eye pick-me-up and I've heard some good stuff about this product.

SEVEN: This YSL eye concealer/highlighter is my favorite thing on the planet.  It hides discoloration and I swear people question my age every time I wear it.  If you slept like crap on the plane or just want to step off looking refreshed, you need this.  I wear it every day, travel or no travel.
