Speaker 1: Hey, beauties, it's Jamie, Joe and Jessmasud and welcome to Influence,
Speaker 1: a podcast dedicated to beauty, fashion and self love, turning
Speaker 1: your weakness into your uniqueness.
Speaker 2: Before we get started, we'd like to acknowledge the custodians
Speaker 2: of the land on which we record, the Gadago people
Speaker 2: of the Urination.
Speaker 1: We all know you eurogirlies are in a panic with
Speaker 1: what to bring on your eurosummer getaways, and we are
Speaker 1: going to tell you exactly what to pack for that
Speaker 1: long plane ride and essentials to make you look as
Speaker 1: fresh as your apparol sprits.
Speaker 2: In Santorini in twenty twenty two, we set out to
Speaker 2: Europe for our first Italy trip, me, my sister and
Speaker 2: my Mosa Girls trip.
Speaker 3: It was our first ever goal.
Speaker 2: It was so impulsive and it was incredible, but also
Speaker 2: with hindsight we look back and think, this is why
Speaker 2: we were ugly in Italy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was our tag line.
Speaker 1: It was unfortunately and it's so sad because we could
Speaker 1: have been stunning in Italy.
Speaker 3: In Italy, So we're going to give you the tips
Speaker 3: to be.
Speaker 1: Hot in Italy or wherever you are in Europe, because
Speaker 1: we really just did not know how to pack correctly.
Speaker 1: We packed all the wrong things, even outfits, but in
Speaker 1: terms of like makeup and beauty, we got.
Speaker 2: It so so wrong with it was nothing was right.
Speaker 3: It was oh god, we weren't prepared for the weather.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we weren't prepared for like carrying things around, and
Speaker 2: we weren't prepared for the sunburn.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's true. Honestly, having the right things packed in
Speaker 1: your Europe kit is going to make your holiday that
Speaker 1: much better and you're going to look back and be
Speaker 1: that much happier.
Speaker 2: And your photos are to be good and you're gonna
Speaker 2: look hot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so just just strap on in, guys, because we've
Speaker 1: got some good tips.
Speaker 3: These are the essential.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you need these essentials in your kit. And this
Speaker 1: is also a few things of what not to.
Speaker 2: Do because from our mistakes, so that you don't have
Speaker 2: to make them too well, I want.
Speaker 3: To preface with Jesse was correct.
Speaker 1: We were a little bit sinky in Italy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's start there.
Speaker 1: Let's start there, because it honestly haunts me. My least
Speaker 1: favorite thing on the earth is smelling bad. I must
Speaker 1: smell good. As we've spoken about in one of our
Speaker 1: previous episodes, and we didn't smell good because the weather.
Speaker 1: Mind you, it was literally forty degrees celsius.
Speaker 3: It was a heat wave when we were there.
Speaker 2: And you're also you're walking around a lot, like you're
Speaker 2: getting twenty five thousand steps plus each day, especially when
Speaker 2: you're in the cities and you're not by the Rome.
Speaker 3: You're like, it was like desert heat. I don't know
Speaker 3: it was. It was a heat I've never felt before.
Speaker 1: One thing that I have learned, and one thing we
Speaker 1: did really really wrong, was we were using the wrong shavers.
Speaker 1: This is what was making us smell extra bad.
Speaker 2: So just follow us here, because I know it sounds crazy,
Speaker 2: but let's just go.
Speaker 3: On a little bit of a journey.
Speaker 1: So we were using these like really plush shavers in
Speaker 1: Italy that had you know, like they've got that gel
Speaker 1: around it.
Speaker 3: That so that it glides, yeah, so that it glides.
Speaker 1: Nicely, and that it gives you a nice clean shave.
Speaker 1: This is what not to do. What they are made
Speaker 1: up of is actually sugar. So when that is you know,
Speaker 1: you're shaving underneath your arms with like this sugar, it
Speaker 1: overtime ferments and it smells so bad in the heat.
Speaker 2: Mixed with your sweat, sweat humidity and then this sugar
Speaker 2: fermentation process.
Speaker 3: It was like a smell we've never smelled before. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was not good.
Speaker 1: I really had never smelled myself like feel like it
Speaker 1: was just disgusting.
Speaker 3: That's gross. I'm so embarrassed.
Speaker 2: But I want you actually figure that out, because I
Speaker 2: didn't know that was the issue until you told me
Speaker 2: in the cup.
Speaker 1: Well, I saw it online and then I was kind
Speaker 1: of experimenting.
Speaker 3: One day.
Speaker 1: I didn't use that razor. I use a different razor
Speaker 1: and then I scrubbed really well after I shaved, and
Speaker 1: then I didn't smell bad.
Speaker 2: Okay, well that makes sense. Yeah, so my love the story.
Speaker 2: Use those shitty sixty cent razors that you can.
Speaker 1: Get from literally, that's the ones we use instead, because
Speaker 1: those plush ones, like they feel really nice, but they
Speaker 1: are not good for underneath the arms.
Speaker 3: If you are going to use them.
Speaker 1: Shave before you use your loofer and then scrub like
Speaker 1: really well, and then scrub really really well underneath your
Speaker 1: arms to get rid of any of that residue.
Speaker 3: And that is the first step to not smelling bad.
Speaker 3: In Italy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, literally, it's just no one ever talks about this stuff.
Speaker 1: So you know, we want to be your big sism
Speaker 1: make sure you don't smell bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Facts.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about what we actually think is worth
Speaker 1: having in your kit.
Speaker 3: Because we made the mistake.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we made the mistake of having way too much makeup.
Speaker 3: It was so heavy. Yeah, we brought the wrong makeup kit.
Speaker 2: We brought lots of makeup and it just wasn't like
Speaker 2: suitable makeup for the weather.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Let's start from top down. Yeap eyebrows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just need a good eyebrow gel, not not
Speaker 2: one of those like eyebrow lamonation gels that are like
Speaker 2: thick and glunky, because in the heat they like in
Speaker 2: your makeup kit when you're traveling, those are gonna go
Speaker 2: really bad and then you're gonna end up with white,
Speaker 2: gloopy eyebrows exactly that are pulling your hairs out. So
Speaker 2: we suggest the Eyebrow Jel Benefit twenty four hour Browsetter
Speaker 2: from Sophora forty eight dollars.
Speaker 3: It's the staple. You should always have it in your
Speaker 3: kit anyway. It's the best eyebrow jel.
Speaker 1: It doesn't leave you with that you know, rusky residue,
Speaker 1: and it does keep them in place all day, regardless
Speaker 1: of your sweating.
Speaker 3: You could even swim with this.
Speaker 2: I just want to say swimming with your son is
Speaker 2: good because you know, when you swim and your eyebrows
Speaker 2: go droopy because they're like weigh down by the water,
Speaker 2: that won't happen. And you can have good water picks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's so true. Swimming picks. Yeah, good, good
Speaker 3: swimming pigs. That's that's a really good point, Jess.
Speaker 1: It's just that's a really amazing staple, eyebrow gel. Nothing
Speaker 1: has ever beat it for me. I really can't find
Speaker 1: anything as good as it. So exactly so, when you're
Speaker 1: looking to do your makeup in Europe, what you want
Speaker 1: is that gorgeous, glowy, effortless look like you know, after
Speaker 1: you've had an app you're a little bit sunburn, you
Speaker 1: do a few quick things, and then you walk out
Speaker 1: looking like a glowing tan goddess. That's what we want
Speaker 1: to achieve. When you're going to like New York and
Speaker 1: it's winter time, you want a full beat and you
Speaker 1: want to look like that whole girl makeup. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: want to look so flawless. So this is really tailored
Speaker 1: to working well for in the heat and like getting
Speaker 1: out of the pool, being in the sun all day,
Speaker 1: this is what's going to look most beautiful exactly. So
Speaker 1: next we are going to use a good concealer. We're
Speaker 1: not even bothering packing a full covering foundation.
Speaker 2: No, no covering for covering factory. Yeah, honestly, I think
Speaker 2: you can sack the foundation and leave it at home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't need it. What we're going to do
Speaker 1: instead is use a really nice concealer and a really
Speaker 1: nice like liquid or cream bronzer. These two working together
Speaker 1: are going to give you the coverage that you want,
Speaker 1: but they're going to be really nice and and glowy,
Speaker 1: and that is what it's going to make you look
Speaker 1: the best.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Also, a thin concealer I think is kind of better,
Speaker 2: especially when you're in your sunah and you're getting a
Speaker 2: little bit of a burn and it just like spreads
Speaker 2: out really well. You can use your fingers, you can
Speaker 2: apply it. You don't need to bring heavy brushes.
Speaker 3: Either, Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: And you want something that's hydrating so that if your
Speaker 1: skin is dry, which can happen after salt water or
Speaker 1: the sun, this still smooths out really nicely and it
Speaker 1: is hydrated and it doesn't make you look creasy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you won't get crackly.
Speaker 2: So the lancom how do you say that, it's called
Speaker 2: the tint.
Speaker 1: I've really had to practice that before because I have
Speaker 1: worked with them on this product. It's so phenomenal.
Speaker 2: So this concilla is sixty dollars from Mecca, but it's
Speaker 2: just really really good conceal.
Speaker 1: I've been wearing this every single day.
Speaker 3: I truly love it.
Speaker 1: It is one of the best concealers I've ever used
Speaker 1: for a little bit less coverage, so hydrated.
Speaker 3: Like a good natural concealer.
Speaker 1: So for Bronzer, I thought that this product at first
Speaker 1: was really gimmicky, but I've learned to love it, and
Speaker 1: I think that the way that it's made is so unique.
Speaker 3: That's why I thought it was gimmicky.
Speaker 1: But it's the Pixie on the go bronze. If you
Speaker 1: haven't seen this on the glow bronze, oh, on the glow,
Speaker 1: not on the go, Well, it is good from the go.
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen it, it's like, how would you
Speaker 1: describe it?
Speaker 2: It's like a thin flat Oh okay.
Speaker 3: It's almost rectangular. It's quite thin and rectangular.
Speaker 1: But the edges are round it that.
Speaker 3: But not like a lollipop. You wind it up. You
Speaker 3: wind it up.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of an interesting shape. So it's
Speaker 1: hard to describe for you guys. But it's a wind
Speaker 1: up product and it's a solid cream. And what you
Speaker 1: do with it is you wind it. You twist it up,
Speaker 1: and it looks like a thin, long rectangle, but the
Speaker 1: sides are quite like round it.
Speaker 3: Kind of like an icy pole.
Speaker 1: Yes, it literally is like a like an ice block.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's the one. It is cylindrical, like I suppose.
Speaker 1: And why it's so good and so easy to use
Speaker 1: is you don't need to you know, take it out
Speaker 1: of the packaging or anything.
Speaker 3: You just find to wipe it up your face.
Speaker 1: Wipe it off your face, wipe it up from it
Speaker 1: in mid cheek to your hairline on both sides, and
Speaker 1: then on the top of your forehead.
Speaker 3: You can use it on your eye lid. Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: what you want to do.
Speaker 1: You don't need eye shadow now, we don't need eye
Speaker 1: shadow in Europe. All we need is a good bronzer
Speaker 1: and a nice you knowaler and blush. So it's such
Speaker 1: a good product because it's so easy to apply and
Speaker 1: then as Jesse said, you can just tap it out
Speaker 1: with your fingers. We don't need to use brushes in Europe.
Speaker 3: I don't think so, it's not the vibe.
Speaker 1: Also, it's like way too hot to put that on
Speaker 1: your face.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is a beautiful shade, Like I really
Speaker 1: like this product.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then honestly, after that, all you need is
Speaker 2: a good liquid blush, another thing that you can just
Speaker 2: like pat in with your fingers. And I think you
Speaker 2: could probably steer clear from powdered products. Yeah, because your
Speaker 2: skin's probably dry from the sun. I don't think it's
Speaker 2: going to sit on your face too well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. And you know, we've really recommended
Speaker 1: a million liquid blushes before.
Speaker 3: There's rare beauty.
Speaker 1: You've got the new Hourglass liquid drop.
Speaker 2: You've even got the Pixie on the Globe blush stick
Speaker 2: as well, like if you just have the duo.
Speaker 1: Just yeah, there's so many blushes whatever. Your favorite liquid
Speaker 1: blush is just pack maybe two shades in.
Speaker 3: You want like a pinky one and then you want
Speaker 3: more of a red one.
Speaker 1: To imitate that some kissed just a little bit, look,
Speaker 1: yeah exactly.
Speaker 2: And then before we talk about Mascaro's. I think what's
Speaker 2: more important is an eyelash color. Yeah, because if you're
Speaker 2: swimming a lot, you're not going to be wearing muscara
Speaker 2: on the daily. Yeah, because it's just gonna sweat off
Speaker 2: or you're going to swim it off, but you still
Speaker 2: want to open up your eyes and like look like
Speaker 2: you're awake. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So the eyelash Curla by Shidasu. No, it's the funniest
Speaker 3: thing you've ever said. I'm trying to read that.
Speaker 1: It's cacedoo is okay, just spelt rock, I just use it. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's the Shesado eyelash Curlor.
Speaker 3: It is so.
Speaker 1: It's thirty six dollars from Mecca. But this is the
Speaker 1: best Alish curler on the market. I am terrified of
Speaker 1: Ilish curlors.
Speaker 3: But this one is so so good.
Speaker 2: It's not going to repel your eyelashes like the ones
Speaker 2: from camar.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't get a Camoe Eilish courlor, please curl. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this elash courla is next level. My eyelashes look phenomenal
Speaker 1: with it. And Jesse is I.
Speaker 3: Don't know my name, Jesse finished the sentence.
Speaker 1: You hardly wear mascara, you I don't war I ever
Speaker 1: wear mascara at our home.
Speaker 2: You only use this. I only use an eyelash color
Speaker 2: even when I'm going to UNI. Like it lasts all day.
Speaker 3: I don't know why, because it's a really good eyelish color. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you guys should get it. Yeah, it's really good.
Speaker 1: Now obviously you need to take one muscara to Europe.
Speaker 1: I cannot live without maskara.
Speaker 3: It's my favorite thing. Good dinner. I feel like I'd
Speaker 3: only wear it at dinner time. Yeah, you don't need
Speaker 3: it in the daytime dinner.
Speaker 1: You know, you want to make yourself pop a little bit.
Speaker 3: So a good muscaa.
Speaker 1: We've mentioned so many The Mabeling Firework mascara is just,
Speaker 1: you know, an amazing staple. Literally, and Mabeling muscara is
Speaker 1: so good you can take your pic.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And it's also not too expensive, so you lose it. It's fine, exactly. Okay,
Speaker 3: So we've got the base on.
Speaker 1: You know, we've got a gloe blash, we've got bronzer,
Speaker 1: we've got conceiala, and your eyebrows and eyelashes are done.
Speaker 3: Especially five products. Yeah, please, so great.
Speaker 1: Now you need things to kind of just finish off
Speaker 1: that look, so a setting spray.
Speaker 3: You need this.
Speaker 1: I think a setting spray is like a staple to
Speaker 1: have in your kit because it makes you look so
Speaker 1: dewy and so stunning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's also setting down the makeup so that
Speaker 2: when you're sweating, it's not gonna it's not gonna sweat exactly.
Speaker 1: There's two that I love, but the one we took
Speaker 1: was the Charlotte teel Bree Setting Spray. It's fifty four
Speaker 1: bucks from Mecca.
Speaker 3: And this is the only thing I say is worth bringing.
Speaker 3: That's a little bit bigger, that's true.
Speaker 2: Everything else can be smaller products, but this is like
Speaker 2: worth taking up the space.
Speaker 1: I'm sure we can find a mini one.
Speaker 3: Actually, oh yeah, minie. We all love little mini things.
Speaker 3: I love mini things. Minis are the best fog.
Speaker 1: This gives you that like wet look, and I love
Speaker 1: you know, when you're at the beach all day, you're
Speaker 1: super tan. Then you have a nap, then you have
Speaker 1: a shower, well, actually have a shower. Yeah, you go
Speaker 1: out with wet curls and then you want that like dewey, gorgeous,
Speaker 1: ethereal look on the face. This Charlotte teel be Setting
Speaker 1: Spray really gives that to you whilst locking in the makeup.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then other little essentials you need a couple
Speaker 2: of little like lipliners, the glosses. Just bring a couple
Speaker 2: because you might lose them here and there. And then
Speaker 2: you need like one core clip, two French prince. And
Speaker 2: then for the hair, a pretty scarf yecause you're in Europe. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Literally, we wore these in like the little towns of
Speaker 1: Tuscany and it was so cute.
Speaker 3: It felt like very.
Speaker 2: Italy and if you're having like a bad hair day,
Speaker 2: this saves you little Italy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well literally, I.
Speaker 1: Mean I just think it's such a pretty way to
Speaker 1: blend in a little bit and elevate the out Yeah.
Speaker 1: So just be smart with what you're packing. You don't
Speaker 1: need to go over the top because you just want
Speaker 1: to enhance you natural beauty. It's too hot to wear
Speaker 1: a full face, it really is.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I also just wanted to quickly mention a few
Speaker 1: things about the plane, okay, because I've actually heard that
Speaker 1: doing your skincare on the plane is really bad for
Speaker 1: your skin. Yeah, and I've seen a lot of people
Speaker 1: promoting it lately, and there's there's this viral mask that
Speaker 1: people have been using on the plane. I just I've
Speaker 1: heard that, you know, opening up your paws and then
Speaker 1: the air that's continually recycled in the plane is like
Speaker 1: seeping into your skin. So it's not the best idea
Speaker 1: to be doing your beautiful, full, incredible skin care routine
Speaker 1: on the plane.
Speaker 2: Like you could feel good in the moment, obviously, but
Speaker 2: when you think about like the air that's in the plane,
Speaker 2: Like you hear stories about the flight attendants opening the
Speaker 2: plane from the other side and like nearly like gagging, Yeah,
Speaker 2: because it smells that bad air from all the breath
Speaker 2: the farts, like, so you don't want to be opening
Speaker 2: up your pause to all of those germs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, So maybe don't go crazy and extensive with
Speaker 1: your skincare range on the plane. Simple, keep it, yeah,
Speaker 1: keep it simple. But eye patches. I love eye patches.
Speaker 1: Rare beauty has incredible ones that is going to keep
Speaker 1: you hydrated, But it's not like opening up your paws
Speaker 1: and putting active ingredients on your skin.
Speaker 2: I personally think the most important essential to bring on
Speaker 2: the playe is an I mask so that you can
Speaker 2: sleep peacefully.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I hope that's helped you, you know, conduct
Speaker 1: your Europe kits a little bit more. Make sure that
Speaker 1: you are not packing a lot of makeups so you
Speaker 1: can pack more clothes because trust me, you'll want more outfits.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you really will. All the stories that you want
Speaker 3: more clothes. Yeah, yeah, that is.
