What I Packed for Hawaii: Favorite Beauty, Makeup, and Clothing...

Posted by Amelia England on

We recently got home from a glorious vacation to Maui. It was paradise and we had such an incredible time. I had an overwhelming number of questions about our time there, where we stayed and ate so I thought I would put together a post for you so it's all in one place. 

A little note about our travel to Hawaii: Drew and I followed all CDC precautions and regulations to ensure we were vacationing safely. Before boarding our flight we provided proof of our negative COVID tests; we then followed all rules for airport, airline, resort, and contact-tracing procedures. We've been taking COVID very seriously and only wanted to travel in a way that felt safe, responsible, and conscientious! 

 

Our Resort in Maui

We stayed at one of our all-time favorite resorts, the Montage Kapalua Bay. We've been visiting this property for years now and one day Drew and I would love to own a property there. The grounds and views are breathtaking and the resort feels more secluded because the property isn't stacked up against rows and rows of hotels. Every time we visit I feel like we're in our own world. Everything felt a bit different this year (so many local businesses are either closed temporarily or shut down permanently), but I was happy to see they are increasing efforts to safely reopen and see how eager they are to revive the tourist industry.

 

Our Favorite Restaurants 

I was so happy to see my favorite restaurants still in business and open to serve their masterpieces. My Favorite Restaurants in Hawaii...

  • Kimo's (one of my favorite dinners on the island).
  • Leilani's (best chicken nachos on Maui, perfect lunch or casual dinner spot). 
  • Cool Cat Cafe (their chicken, hamburgers and shakes are amazing. This is always a hit with any group we travel with).
  • Cane + Canoe at Montage (we go here for breakfast pretty much every morning. The Cinnamon French Toast is amazing!).
  • Mama's Fish House (truly one of my favorite restaurants in the entire world. The ambiance and the food are equally incredible. A must try! 
  • Monkey Pod is super good pizzas and fries! They also have amazing fish. Perfect for a low key dinner. 
  • Merriman's is another one of my favorite restaurants. All their food is sourced local so it's incredibly fresh. The Filet is my favorite there! Magical at sunset.
  • The Gazebo  is a famous breakfast spot on the island and it lives up to its reputation. Drew loves this place. I get the mac nut pancakes and he gets their famous fried rice dish. 
  • Montage Pool Side Food: Most days for lunch we order poolside. Their Chicken Nachos w/fresh Guac. 

 

Skincare, Hair, and Beauty Items I Pack on Vacation...

    Beauty and Hair Items Pack for Hawaii VacationSkincare, haircare and makeup I brought to Hawaii
    1. TrueCider Anti-Aging Serum 
    2. Moisturizer helps to extend the length of you tan, so I always add travel with my Necessaire lotion.
    3. This Loving Tan self-tanner is my go-to for a spray tanned look on the go. I put it on after I have showered at night with a mitt and then use the dual complexion brush to apply it on my face. When I wake up, I take a quick shower and I'm off. 
    4. Supergoop! Glow Screen
    5. SkinCeuticals
    6. Dual complexion brush 
    7. I've been using this Jo Malone scent for years, and bring this size with me on all my trips. 
    8. Oribe hair oil.
    9. Unite’s leave-in conditioner 
    10. La Mer lip volumizer—My sister gave me this lipgloss for Christmas and I don't go anywhere without it.
    11. I wear this rapid Dry hair wrap while I do my makeup and then just wear this air dried look for dinner. So nice and easy. 
    12. Necessaire natural deodorant 
    13. TrueLipids 
    14. Nars Tinted Moisturizer is my go-to when I don't want to wear makeup. It has SPF protection and is super lightweight.
