We delve into the travel bags of the founders of Laconicum. One, a maximalist, takes everything with her when traveling by car. Another, a minimalist, reduces her routine to the bare minimum, for convenience, space, and time. Today we're talking about the first, María, who takes everything in her beach bag.
What does María, founder of Laconicum, carry in her beach bag?
When I go to the beach, my cosmetics take up almost as much space as my clothes. I enjoy packing weeks in advance, knowing that when I'm traveling by car, I have no size limits and can travel with everything I want. And I want a lot.
Disheveled Summer
I'm crazy about hair, and at the beach it tends to be completely out of control. That's why I resort to my arsenal; I don't risk it to see what happens. amenities is in the hotel or what is the shampoo that the previous vacationer left in the apartment.
My hair products:
Aesop Shampoo(100ml). I wash it every day at the beach, so this shampoo is gentle enough not to dry it out, yet powerful enough to leave it nice and clean.
Centred leave-in conditioner. I love applying it after a swim at the beach. It helps me comb my hair, leaves it soft, and leaves a wonderful scent.
Happy Endings by Sam McKinhgt. On the beach it takes a long time to dry and it does so at its own pace. With this finishing product I make sure to keep it worthy.
And on the face?
I'm also not shy about the number of products I carry in my cosmetic bag. I'm going on vacation and I want to apply everything I know I'll want; I don't want to miss anything.
At night, I clean my skin well and apply, for a few days, an oil (Light Fantastic by Pai Skincare) and, others, a powerful cream like The Cream by Augustinus Bader.
Another thing I love is to do an express cleaning at midday with a micellar waterThe Natura Bissé one is my favorite. Napping with clean, fresh skin feels so much better.
Let's go with the body! And I'm already at 7 products.
I love the wonderful scent (and texture) of Air-lite, that I apply, not only on my legs, but on my whole body.
Anything else? Of course. I can't help but add some perfume, a good mascara and a blush.
Can that seem like a lot of things? Yes. Do I need them all? Yes. Long live cosmetic maximalism!
