Road Trip Beauty Essentials!

Christine Cameron of My Style Pill sharing her road trip essentials 3Outfit Details:

Karen Walker Sunglasses |Zara Jumpsuit (similar and here is a similar version in a shorter style) | Mossimo Sandals via Target

On Thursday we drove out of New York City in a beautiful 2016 Volvo XC90, that the brand loaned to us for our road trip to Cleveland. It took us eight hours to get there (one hour longer than normal because of road work and traffic), which isn’t terrible but definitely isn’t short either, so I wanted to make sure I was prepared to sit in a car for that long and be as comfortable as possible.

During the drive I went makeup-less because I wanted to keep my skin fresh and hydrated, plus if I napped, I wouldn’t wake up with mascara under my eyes.

Oversized sunglasses are my saving grace for when I don’t want to wear eye makeup, because I still feel put together even when my eyes beg to differ.

I wore my hair up in milkmaid braids (watch my YouTube tutorial here) because it made it easier to lean my head back in the head rest, especially since it was an eight hour ride. Plus it just kept it up and off my face and I love how low maintenance this style is. It only takes me about five minutes!

I had never been to a Travel Store before but they are pretty awesome because they have everything you need: snacks, water, an ATM and clean bathrooms. And they will usually have a restaurant inside that offers an alternative food option instead of just McDonalds or Burger King.

My new favorite kind of Skittles was only 50 cents at the Travel Store. Win, win!

Here is Casey in the amazing Volvo XC90 that I mentioned above. This car was a dream and practically drove itself! It was comfortable, spacious and made our road trip 100 times better! Thank you again, Volvo, for letting us borrow it for our travels!

Ok now onto my road trip beauty essentials!

Last Thursday we arrived in Strongsville around 7:30 and met some friends at Brew Garden, but because we were behind schedule, we decided not to stop anywhere beforehand and just go straight there. I wanted to make sure I felt good and looked fresh, so besides my makeup, I made sure to bring these beauty essentials with me….

1. Klorane Dry Shampoo: Funny story about this one. I wasn’t thinking and while we were IN the car, I flipped my hair over to spritz my roots with dry shampoo. Can you imagine what happened after that? Casey started coughing and looked at me with this incredulous look, like why in the heck would I spray that in the car?! Haha. Whoops. Best to use this at a rest stop or anywhere outside. :)

2. Sara Happ Lip Gloss: You guys know I love this stuff (you can watch my video about my must-have carry-on items here) because it is just so hydrating. Especially when you have the AC blasting on your face for 8 hours, it’s good to have some lip protection.

3. Mario Badescu Facial Spray: I have been using this spray for years now and love how it smells like a rose garden. It’s a combination of aloe, herbs and rosewater and is so refreshing, especially if you have dry skin like me. You can use it to set your make-up, soothe your face in drying conditions or give your skin a quick boost when needed.

4. Tide to Go Pen: If you are eating anything in the car, there is always a chance you can get food on you somewhere. So if that happens to you, these little babies are magic and remove (almost) any stain immediately.

5. Lara Bar: I have been snacking on these healthy bars for years (the lemon ones are my favorite) because not only are they good for you and filling, they don’t create a mess especially in confined spaces like a car or airplane.

6. Simply Gum: I have been reading all about how regular gum really isn’t that great for you since it’s basically made of chemicals and plastic, so I did a little research and found this natural gum. Regardless, gum is great to have it you’re an anxious shotgun rider like I am. I can chomp out all of my nervous energy but also have fresh breath for when I get to where I’m going.

7. Neutrogena Face Wipes: This is another product I have been using for years and feel weird when I don’t have them with me just because they feel so good on my face when I want to feel clean and fresh. I know that actually washing your face is the best way to get all the makeup and dirt off your face, but when you are in a pinch, these are so handy and work really well. They also come in a travel size too!

8. Colorscience Sunscreen Powder: I love dusting this powder all over my face, neck and ears whether I have makeup on or not because it has sunscreen built into it! I feel protected without having to always put a separate sunscreen on my face.

9. Benefit Cosmetics Puff Off: I love how the metal applicator feels under my eyes during any travel situation, especially if I wake up with puffy eyes. This stuff is just the thing to soothe the under eye area and help brighten my skin.

10. Not Soap, Radio Joy Inducing Hand/Body Lotion: I received a travel size of this lotion in my most recent Ipsy delivery and fell in love with it. My hands feel so soft after I use it and it really does smell amazing. The sentiment written on the tube says, “When life gives you one too many lemons (you’ve misplaced you happy place…)” which is basically a nice way of saying, stop indulging in self-pity and make a mini-plan to feel more positive and happy. It is infused with the scent of lemon oil, which is said to encourage positive feelings and the color yellow is said to foster friendly feelings, general happiness and joy. Love it!

11.Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer: This magical face primer is infused with coconut water and feels so great on your face when you need a serious pick-me-up. It hydrates, smoothes, and brightens skin and you can wear it on its own or under your makeup. And don’t worry, you don’t have to be hungover to use or need it, haha.

(I didn’t include clothing in the roundup above, but I still wanted to still talk about what I like to wear on long car rides.)

12. Oversized Sunglasses: I have had these sunnies by Karen Walker for a while now and they still remain my go-to pair when I really want to cover up almost half my face, or if need to block the sun, hide my tired eyes and doze off.

13. Comfy Jumper: I need to be able to move around comfortably in my seat and possibly go into the fetal position for a nap if needed, which I often do when sitting for long periods of time. So a jumpsuit or romper is the perfect solution for me. Since it’s just one piece of fabric, my shirt doesn’t get bunched up plus this style of clothing is usually pretty loose and flowy so that helps with any restriction especially when you already have a seatbelt strapping you in. Shop this one from Old Navy for only $40!

14. Easy Slip-on Sandals: I love to take my shoes off the minute I get in the car but I also want to be able to slip them back on just as easily. These huarache sandals from Target are perfect, plus they were only $25 and are super comfortable too.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and let me know if it was helpful. If you’d like to see more like these in the future, please leave me a comment below.

Thanks for stopping by! xoxo

Before I dive into talking about the outfits in th Before I dive into talking about the outfits in this Reel, I want to take a moment and talk about perfectionism and how it can potentially foil the best laid plans…if you let it.

Here’s what I’m talking about: As I was looking back at what I had just filmed, instead of seeing two cute outfit remix ideas, (both based around a $4 top I scored at Goodwill), I only saw the shelves behind me with messy piles of pants, unorganized hanging clothing that wasn’t color coordinated, and the damn black hanger on the floor that is peeking into my shot. 🙄

It hasn’t always been like this for me when it came to sharing my content, but over the years, as photos and video on IG and online became glossier and glossier, and more picture perfect, I found myself pulling back and not wanting to share unless everything was neat and perfectly “in place” before stepping in front of the camera. 

Today, I almost let the fact that my new closet set up that you see here, (which I had only just put together) wasn’t quite set up the way I imagined in my head, keep me from sharing outfits with you all, which is why you follow me in the first place! Jeez.

Anyway, I know that this type of issue isn’t incredibly serious, but I know that I love it when other people
open up and share about little things that they are dealing with, because it helps me feel like I’m
not alone with what I might be going through. So if I helped you release any perfectionism that you might be holding onto, then that is good enough for me. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

OK, now that I got that off my chest, let’s get into the really important stuff: the outfits!

Earlier today I wandered into Goodwill hoping to find some gems, and ended up leaving with this knit tank. I’m really pleased with it and love the color. It’s a dusty mauve and I immediately imagined paring it with my new bright purply-pink sleep set that I shared on here, yesterday. Then of course I had to turn the outfit into a remix and decided to try it on with my new white gauzy pants and some stacked sandals. All in all, I really am quite pleased with both looks! 

Which would you wear? 1 or 2?

xo,
Christine

They are high waisted, relaxed in fit and I will be wearing them until it becomes shorts weather, which is basically not until July. Because if you familiar with Seattle, you know we are about to enter into #juneuary in a week and a half. 😩

Quick back story on the pieces: I recently got these pants and am officially obsessed. They are the perfect length for sneakers (I’m 5’4), lightweight for spring weather and very comfortable. I’ll link them in my stories if you want the details!

This trench has become an all time favorite and was something I picked up for my collaboration with @bellevuecollection. It’s from @oakandfort and the drape, the cut, everything about it is perfect to me.

The bag is also from @oakandfort, my shoes are @converse and my sweater is old from @target. Oh and earrings are @oldnavy and sunnies are @lespecs!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I haven’t worn this denim vest in a minute, but it sure came in handy when styling this dress, which makes me really happy I didn’t get rid of it during one of my seasonal purging sessions. 😬

This dress comes in a few other colors and is incredible comfortable and lightweight. I think it would also work really well as a coverup if you wanted to go from the beach to brunch!✌🏻

Day 29: Style an entire look around your favorite Day 29: Style an entire look around your favorite pair of shoes 🤠

Ok before I talk about this look, can you believe we only have ONE more day of the 30 Day Fashion Challenge?! For those of you that have been participating, thank you for sending me your outfits and letting me know when you have been implementing some of the prompts even if you haven’t done all 28 days - the point was always to help you look at your wardrobe with fresh eyes and to get creative with your clothing. 

So these boots have a special place in my heart. I bought them on a family trip to Santa Fe at a vintage cowboy boot store and immediately fell in love with them. I haven’t really worn them recently but when the prompt said to style an outfit around a favorite pair of shoes, these popped into my mind. It’s also fitting that I chose cowboy boots because I’m spending the weekend in San Antonio! If you have any recommendations, leave them in the comments!

Hello friends! I am so excited to share my collabo Hello friends! I am so excited to share my collaboration with @bellevuecollection , where I styled and remixed some of my favorite transitional pieces that I found for spring, all available in stores now!

For those of you that have been following me for some time now, know that I love classic pieces and a trench coat definitely falls into that category. Earlier in my first reel, I shared a timeless khaki trench and created four different looks based around it, swapping out only a few different pieces, all of which I found while shopping the variety of stores The Bellevue Collection has to offer. 

And now, I’m taking a slightly different approach to a classic style of jacket - the trench coat - and styling a leather version from @aritzia! I am so in love with this buttery soft jacket and am very into the retro, elevated vibes it’s giving me. I created four looks using this one trench and rotated between a few of the same pieces I purchased at The Bellevue Collection for some good ol’ remixing fun. 

Which look is your favorite?!
