The Perfect Travel Makeup for Beauty on the Go?

Main Image – Wander Beauty

Although I don’t always wear makeup every day but when I do, it’s cream formulas I instinctively reach for.

Dewy, easy to apply (perfect for my ten-second-or-nothing approach to makeup application) and generally kind to dry skin, cream foundations, blushers and highlighters are some of my favourite products.

I’m also a huge fan of anything that saves space in my makeup bag/drawer so I was interested in Wander Beauty’s On-the-Glow Blush and Illuminator in Coral Rose-Nude Glow, a double-ended blush and highlight product in one.

Wander Beauty’s On-the-Glow Blush and Illuminator

The stick-style applicator makes this particularly useful for sweeping across collarbones, cheeks, foreheads, and noses in a hurry. And, both products are paraben, mineral oil, phthalates, fragrance and cruelty-free.

True to its name, the Coral Rose blush is just that- a peachy rose colour that both works well in the sun and is neutral enough to suit most skin tones. Containing mineral pigments, squalane (highly hydrating), and vitamins A, C, and E (for antioxidant protection), this is also gentle on skin that has had a long day trotting about in the sun.

Similarly, the Nude Glow highlighter also provides skin-nourishing benefits as well as a subtle champagne-coloured sheen devoid of any large chunks of glitter.

Wander Beauty also suggests using this as an eye shadow, and it definitely offers a subtle golden glow on the lids too.

 

 

What other people have to say

Customers on the Wander Beauty website love this product, with one saying “This truly brightens my face (and I apply to lips too) in just a swipe before my zoom calls. Bless you Wander!”

Another writes “Color matching is perfect. Blush looks natural and gives a beautiful glow. This one is a keeper.” And lots of people have commented on how easy the product is to travel with or keep in your handbag “This combo is perfect for travel. Easy to apply and looks very natural.”

The Takeaway

I like the ingredients here, as well as the subtly, dewy finish. You also get quite a lot of product for your money here compared to other cream products, making this reasonable value for anyone who would use these shades every day.

Great for: Those who like their makeup quick and easy to apply.

Not-so-great for: The wallet, but possibly cheaper than buying a separate blusher and highlighter.
