Travel Essentials: S.W. Basics Minis
When it comes to travelin’, I’m def a no-fuss gal. I need to be able to just plop ish into my luggage without too much thought or energy (surprise, I’m laaaaaazay!) š I’m especially super big on travel size beauty products. Ain’t nobody go time for squeezing cleansers and beauty ointments from one container to another (especially with kiddos in the mix).
One of my favorite brands for travel size minis is S.W. BasicsĀ (they make big size versions of beauty products, too). I’m a GIGANTOR fan of S.W. Basics (formally known as Sprout)Ā because all of their products areĀ 100% all-natural and areĀ made with very few yet mega quality ingredients that are certified organic, Fair Trade, and/orĀ sourced from small family farms. I gotta say, their packaging is pretty fantastic, too! Everything comes in glass containers, and the labels have a retro apothecary vibe – sooooo up my alley. If this beauty line were a person, I’d wanna give him/herĀ the biggest, juiciest, bone-crushin’ hug for being so kickass and dope. Ā Since I can’t though, the best I can do is share them with y’all (in review form).Ā
My favorite minis include:
- Mini Exfoliant, $12 – This right hereĀ is pure “kitchen-cabinet awesomeness.” It hasĀ ground organic oats and almonds, mineral-rich sea salt harvested from nearby coasts, andĀ that’s it! Just add water, rub onto your skin, and rinse. It’sĀ simple, nourishing, and super-effective (sloughs off gunk and dead skin cells like a charm!).
- Mini Lemongrass Body Oil, $12 – After a nice hot soak in the tub, nothing feels more luxurious than slathering moisture-rich oils all ovah myĀ body (especially legs after a shave). This bad boy containsĀ grapeseed, avocado, and sesame oilsāit’s light enough to soak in deep and heavy enough to mega moisturize without leaving you feelin’ like slick mess.
- Mini Makeup Remover, $10 – ThisĀ super-light, sweet almond/extra-virgin olive/jojoba oil blend is divine. It removes makeup easily and doubles up as a moisturizer, too. Win-win, betches!
- Mini Body Scrub, $12 – Body scrubs are my jam, yo! I primarily use them as hand scrubs, because I’m [again] lazy and don’t wanna clean up oily residue in my tub. But a quick lil’ hand scrub before bed is a MUST. It totally relaxes me and makes my hands smell and feel delicious! This one containsĀ organic demerara sugar and organic shredded coconut alongĀ with some moisturizing organic coconut oil.Ā Yum-o! (Seriously, could I snack on this in a pinch?) š
Have you tried S.W. Basics? Thoughts? Raves? Dish! xoxo
