FEBRUARY, SIMPLY PUT, IS ONE OF THE COLDEST MONTHS of the year where winter blues knock on the door and take over your whole being. Add on the COVID blues that have been on the radar for the past two years, and we have inadvertently created a “stay at home” vibe. Whether it be to an all inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic, the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand, a ski resort in Park City, Utah, a weekend getaway to Mystic, Connecticut, or wherever you’ve been wanderlusting, we are all understandably seeking a getaway. So, if you are planning on traveling, self-care should still be a priority. Before packing up your luggage or weekender bags, The House of Perez has rounded up a couple of beauty products and other essentials that you won’t regret sparing the extra bag space for your travels. 1. The Apple Cider Detox collection is brought to you by world-renowned hair stylist Frédéric Fekkai which welcomes the return of a fan-favorite ingredient, apple cider vinegar. This collection consists of a newly reimagined threestep clarifying, purifying, and nourishing system created with clean, sustainably sourced ingredients. If you are headed to a destination where you will find yourself jumping into the pool or hot tub, products from the Apple Cider Detox collection will assist with removing any residue in the hair arriving from sand, ocean water, or chlorine. This special line takes away any build up in the hair and will keep it looking shiny and healthy. 2. Adding some glitz and glam to your hair isn't a bad idea, especially when you are on vacation. Get your hair ready for dinner by placing these beautifully crafted Hair Jewels by Nicole Cyrese, a fashion editorial hair stylist. Hair jewels all the way from headbands, clips, barrettes, and more are ethically sourced and sustainable for all hair textures. The designs offered within Cyrese’s brand are all unique, making each hairstyle for every woman memorable, especially on a beautiful dinner while on vacation.

3. Giving your outfit a pop, whether you’re poolside, dining, or perusing city streets on your travels, is a must. Pattern Village has you covered. Brought to you by New Yorker Aundrea Kudma, a marketing leader and innovator specializing in the creation and launch of global hospitality, travel, and eco fashion brands, Pattern Village provides pieces that’ll have you looking like the next big thing with a side of comfortability during your trip. The opaline green and sapphire colored Water Crush Dressing Gown is ideal for any vacation occasion with functional features such as the plunge neckline with snap button closure and two hidden pockets with invisible zippers. 4. Moisturizing is key all year long; it’s the barrier between your skin and the climate, including cold, dry air that can further dry out skin. Your skin will appreciate an application of Supergoops! Superscreen Daily Moisturizer SPF 40. The product is great to pack in your bag, as it is one of the best moisturizers in the game. This moisturizer hydrates the face, ergo assisting with protection against UVA/UVB rays and pollution; a triple threat! It is made by a first-of-its-kind formula supplying a culmination of intense hydration and SPF 40, while protecting your skin from the everyday hurdles such as: UVA (aging) rays, UVB (burning) rays and more. Not to mention, the moisturizer’s formula is lightweight, bouncy, and looks flawless under your makeup application. 5. When traveling, keeping it to a bare minimum with makeup application is key for relaxation and right on trend. The Nudestix Concealer Pencil is the perfect item to bring on your vacation; the simplicity it provides is ultimate bliss, providing a rapid and easy natural look effect on your face. This soft, matte, creamy like concealer is an all-in-one with the bonus of excellent, long-wearing, blendable coverage for under-eye darkness, blemishes, marks, and spots. The fact that the concealer is considered a “touch-and-go” pencil is the cherry on top. Plus, if you weren’t already sold, the concealer consists of skin-condi-
tioning and moisturizing ingredients such as shea butter and vitamin E. 6; Travel tip: don’t walk barefoot in hotel rooms, no matter how luxurious and clean they are. Teddy Slippers by Cravings, a brand by Chrissy Teigan, are great to pack in your bag. These faux sherpa slippers come in muted pastels and make stepping out of the shower feel like a Four Seasons Spa. Padding around the hotel room brings the everyday luxury to your feet in these soft, plush slippers all with the added benefit of keeping your feet clean. 7. You can never pack enough beauty products for a trip. With this being said, the Girlie Fragrance Roller Ball is a perfect light and easy scent for your trip. Pure notes of Jasmine delicately intersect with sensuality in a fresh concoction of florals and skin-like musk. All you have to do is roll a bit on your skin and voila!
