Honeymoon Beauty

There's nothing quite like a honeymoon for de-stressing. Finally, the wedding is over and you can start to enjoy married life! First things first: Tear up that wedding checklist and liberate yourself from all of the gritty planning minutiae. Next, get out your makeup bag and gather all of your beauty essentials for your first official vacation as husband and wife. For those of you who are packing up for either a sun-soaked, stylish city or a thrill-seeking adventurous honeymoon, you'll love these romantic, honeymoon-inspired beauty products. Bon voyage!

Wow, you ladies really know your stuff when it comes to picking the must-have honeymoon items. For last week's Beauty Mark It challenge, I asked you to select the essential products for your first vacation as a married couple. Did you ever!

CocoChic says this pocket-sized version of BeneTint will last through lots of kissing, and Steen loves Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion because it keeps eye shadow in place even in hot, humid weather. Mellie_608 suggested using Bare Escentuals Shine Control Sheets to blot out oil and shine so you'll look great in pictures.

I've assembled all of the Honeymoon Essentials beauty marks in a handy widget, so you can just use the arrows on the upper right to scroll through the Beauty Marks! If you want to learn more about a product, just click on the link. Nice work, everyone!

All this week, we've been talking about looking good on your honeymoon, from beauty souvenirs to tropics-inspired palettes.

It's not too late to share your picks for must-have honeymoon beauty products in this week's Beauty Mark It challenge. I want to know which cosmetics, fragrances and other beauty essentials you can't live without during those first few weeks of marriage. Tell me by Beauty Marking your favorites and tagging your choices with the phrase "honeymoon essentials." I'll feature the readers' favorites on BellaSugar on Tuesday, July 3.

It's time for the last installment of honeymoon beauty. To read about what to pack for a tropical trip, an adventurous journey or for insight on what the hottest beauty brands abroad are, click here. For you honeymooners who have set your sights on the cities of the world, you have chosen a fantastic and eye-opening voyage.

Prepare yourself with an open mind, and remember to keep your budget in mind. It's very easy to get caught up in buying souvenirs, clothing, art and extravagant food when you are experiencing a new culture for the first time. Here are some beauty travel must-haves for the chic city slicker couple.

Paint the town red in Red Lipstick! You want to look chic, don't you? The right red lipstick is every woman's secret weapon. It's cutting-edge, it brings out your eyes and it's versatile. You can dab on just a little bit as a natural-looking stain for the day, or you can deepen the color for a more dramatic effect for an evening out. Plus, you can always blend a bit onto your cheeks for an extra splash of color.

Welcome back to BellaSugar's series on honeymoon beauty. Don't forget to read the last two parts about for beauty essentials for a tropical trip and the best beauty brands to check out to snatch up vacation. For those of you more natural or daring brides who are planning a thrill-seeking adventure like hiking in the rain forest, heli-skiing or sailing around the world, don't overlook your beauty essentials. Here are three must-haves for an adventurous honeymoon.

I can't stress enough the importance of packing sunscreen. If you are going to be doing activities outside, a bad sunburn can ruin your once-in-a-lifetime vacation!

Lancome has just come out with a new UV Expert SPF 20 Sunscreen ($35) with Mexoryl SX, one of the few ingredients to block harmful and age-accelerating UVA Rays. Pack it, wear it and face the sun with confidence!

Welcome to Part II of this week's honeymoon series! Going abroad for your honeymoon? Lucky you! Not only will you be vacationing with your hubby, but you can sneak off and get some international beauty buys, too! One of my favorite parts of traveling is seeing the various products that are rare in the States, so I've created a guide to beauty brands available in three common honeymoon destinations.

If you're going to Paris, head to Printemps, where you'll find the largest beauty department in the world. More than 300 brands are available, so set aside some time to shop. Start by browsing the full line of adorably-packaged Paul & Joe cosmetics, which are hard to find in the States. Stock up on the La Roche-Posay skin care line, which has the best sunscreen I've ever tried, Anthelios SPF 60 (!) for around 15 euro. Anthelios is available in the US, but very rarely at that level of sun protection (and never so cheap). Don't bypass the Lancome and Chanel counters, which often have colors that aren't available in the US. For two more honeymoon buys, read more
