IHKWIP The Carry It All Cosmetic Case 2 Pack
"After traveling to 40+ countries, my essential cosmetic bag is undefeated. It fits inside any of my handbags and contains everything I need, no matter how long the flight," Rusch revealed, naming the bag as the IHKWIP Carry It All Case.
LAWLESS Forget The Filler Overnight Lip Plumping Mask
"I’ve come to the realization that I’m addicted to LAWLESS Forget the Filler Overnight Lip Plumping mask," she told us. "I have those little pots everywhere - in my makeup bag, my nightstand, in the kitchen! It keeps my lips moisturized for hours in any climate."
MAC Lip Liner Pencil in Chestnut
Rusch revealed her lip essential (alongside the LAWLESS mask) is the MAC lip liner in the shade Chestnut. "[It's] my all-time favorite color for a polished look," she said.
Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum
"My favorite face cream is the SUNDAY RILEY C.E.O Vitamin C Brightening Serum," Rusch told us. "It is like food for my face. It’s so lightweight and helps with discoloration from hyperpigmentation while evening out my complexion. I use this every night."
Wet Ones Travel Packs Fresh Scent
"Carrying individual antibacterial wipes is a must," Rusch said. "And they have so many uses! From hands to surfaces, you have to be diligent about cleanliness, especially traveling during the holidays when you’re coming into contact with so many people."
Four Reasons Resort Robe
Rusch jokingly said the item she regretted not bringing to her latest trip to Nevis was a bathrobe. "I’m kidding! It really didn’t matter that Gizelle didn’t include my name on the robe because the Four Seasons in Nevis has incredibly luxurious plush robes in every suite, so I was just fine."
