Once I've gone through security I buy the biggest bottles of water I can find. Most airports only have one size, so I buy 2 or 3 of them.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">I take <a href="http://www.nealsyardremedies.com/organic-face-wipes">Neal's Yard organic facial towelettes</a> to cleanse my skin during the flight. Any makeup you've been wearing needs to be removed, especially any foundation/powder products. </div><div style="text-align: left;">These facial wipes are fabulous, and very gentle.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">My Stephanie Johnson travel cosmetic/toiletry bags have a see through pouch that snaps out, and is ideal for sending makeup and skincare items through the airport xray machines at the security points. I like that everything stays together, and the pouch just snaps back into my toiletry bag when I get to my hotel.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirmNF1Zvv8FUjeI93ud4qQSIrHF93PpAS2JtMRpV09YbTWYRwSOZFoNhy4HGdN6Gwz5sydf6XVtSIZ8D8B88C136J0zWwNCFQksHeDmQcmpGQCArjiwuleTcRZa6kBilolsBLzRWY2S84/s1600/flight+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirmNF1Zvv8FUjeI93ud4qQSIrHF93PpAS2JtMRpV09YbTWYRwSOZFoNhy4HGdN6Gwz5sydf6XVtSIZ8D8B88C136J0zWwNCFQksHeDmQcmpGQCArjiwuleTcRZa6kBilolsBLzRWY2S84/s640/flight+3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Inside the pouch: </div><div style="text-align: left;">Skin care wise I have <a href="http://www.nudeskincare.com/shop/treatment-oils/progenius/?gclid=COvCuKn8vrcCFadxQgodBzIArg">NUDE Pro Genius Oil</a>. </div><div style="text-align: left;">This one is amazing as it is full of different Omega's, each doing different work on your skin. You only use a couple of drops, and they absorb beautifully into the skin. Pro Genius also seems to enhance anything that goes on top of it, giving your skin extra boost as well as radiance.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Rhonda-Allison-Essence-Hydration-Drops/dp/B000YF34EU">Rhonda Allison Drop of Essence  </a>is an amazing hydration product. I reapply it a couple of times throughout the flight. It keeps the skin extra nourished and stops it from drying out.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://skyniceland.com/product-39-icelandic-relief-eye-pen">SkynICELAND Icelandic Relief Eye Pens </a>are the perfect travel companion. The Skyn ICELAND products are designed for stressed skin, and theres nothing quite like a 12 hour flight to stress your skin out! I reapply this light weight but nourishing and invigorating eye cream a couple of times during the flight, mostly because it just feels really nice. And it keeps the eye area nice and soft.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.cremedelamer.com/store_locator">La Mer. </a></div><div style="text-align: left;">I am obsessed with this wonder cream! When I travel I have tiny tubs of it that go with me.A little goes a long way. I use it as both day and night cream when I fly.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Not shown is facial SPF. During day flights I have a ton on, as the rays that come through the windows are much stronger up there. I'm about to take a night flight, so the SPFs are packed in my checked luggage</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.nealsyardremedies.com/Bee-Lovely-Balm">Bee Lovely Busy Bee Balm. </a> </div><div style="text-align: left;">I was just given this one - ideal both for lips (which really do dry out on long flights) and also for cuticles. Even after the most fabulous manicure on earth, my cuticles dry out at 35 000 feet, so I use lip balm to keep them soft. Its from Neal's Yard in Covent Garden, so is organic, and super yummy.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Shortly before landing I fix my makeup. It's all about BB Cream. I use <a href="http://www.sephora.com/satin-perfection-bb-cream-sunscreen-P378717">Ren BB cream</a>, which gives gorgeous even color, and has so many priming/skin treatment/light diffusing properties - your skin looks amazing.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Next I use <a href="http://www.narscosmetics.com/">Nars Multiples </a>in either Portofino or Orgasm. Eyes, cheeks, lips get a fresh infusion of sheer color, and again the skin just glows and looks radiant. Be sure to use a warm color - the cool pinks can often work against you after a long flight.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.smashbox.com/products/6017/Cheeks/Highlighter/index.tmpl">Smashbox Halo Highlighting Wand</a> adds a touch more life to the skin. I highlight the cheekbones, and also use it under the eyes along with a dab of peachy concealer to brighten the face.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.juliehewett.net/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=15">Julie Hewett Lips  </a>have Camellia Oil in them, making them super smooth and luscious, and extra hydrating.</div><div style="text-align: left;">The colors are exquisite too!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.dior.com/beauty/usa/en/makeup/eyes/mascaras/lmascaras.html?gclid=CKPZ0OiBv7cCFZFcQgodLwUABQ">DiorShow mascara  </a>has been my favorite for years. You can really build sensational lashes with it. And after 12 hours inflight, you need serious lashes.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Also with me on every flight is my beige pashmina. Its giant, and its more than 12 years old. Its lightweight, takes up no space at all, and is super warm. It literally goes on every flight I take, so it's been round and round the world more times than you can imagine! Part of having a good flight is being comfortable and warm. A pashmina is ideal. (And beige goes with everything)</div><div style="text-align: left;">Bose around ear headphones. Drown out all noise, and watch movies/listen to music in comfort.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">There you have it - what is going on board with me this summer!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">xo</div></div>
