Set for the Day

This setting spray is perfect for the days when you’ve spent a little more time on your makeup and need to look flawless in all of your Instagram photos. Makeup is sealed and set so it becomes sweat proof, transfer proof, and water resistant, and you can sightsee without worry.

Never Miss your Beauty Sleep

Bedsure’s Satin Pillowcases

This 100% polyester satin pillowcase is perfect for anyone’s travel kit as it protects hair from scratches and tugs, and also allows skin to remain hydrated throughout the night. Bringing your own pillowcase is also a hygienic option because it reduces the chance of germs and bacteria spreading.
