Yes, this is exactly what I have in my carry-on when it comes to beauty supplies. These little beauties have gotten me through humid weather in Thailand, icy temps in Germany, and even on safari in Kenya. I can never get on a plane (or embark on a road trip for that matter) without these goodies.
- These MUJI bottles help me take any liquid I need. Shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, and a Bumbleandbumble hair protecting cream all go in these before I jet off.
- My skin saver while travelling is Aesop’s Fabulous Face Oil. I use it to moisturize, as a lip balm, and I dab extra under my eyes on long flights.
- Hotel washcloths and towels can freak me out a bit (I don’t know what detergent or chemicals they use for cleaning, but I don’t want that harshness on my face). So I travel with my own. I swear by Norwex’s makeup removing clothes that have medical grade silver in them to prevent bacteria. For a cleanser I use bar soap, either my own or what the hotel provides.
- I don’t wear much in the way of foundation or concealer, so I keep it simple with a mini version of my fave NARS foundation.
- But I do swear by blush. Gotta have it and my current fave is Glossier’s Cloud Paint. The little tubes are small but pack a punch of colour.
- I’m also a fan of brows being full and looking done, so I always have a brow mascara with me, like Glossier’s Boy Brow.
- Sephora is the mecca for picking up minis of your fave beauty products, and I always stock up on mini Benefit mascaras before I check out. The minis save so much space!
- A solid liquid eyeliner takes a daytime look to night for me.
- To keep things simple and easy, I stick to my Maybelline Master Bronze palette to add some extra colour, and to use on my eyelids as a shadow.
- Maybelline’s SuperStay Matte Ink also makes the cut because it lasts through ANYTHING. No matter how many glasses of wine I have, salads I eat or how hot and sweaty I get, the colour doesn’t budge or fade.
- My final skin care item are these super compact sheet face masks by MUJI. And I have no shame on putting them on during a super long flight!
- I take my own shampoo and conditioner (or use the hotel brand if it’s a good one), but I love this mini travel kit from Ouai hair care -- all my styling essentials from a finishing cream to wave spray/oil and a dry shampoo mousse.
- A few blonde bobby pins give me so many hairstyle options, buns, topknots, braids, etc.
- These have changed my hair… they don’t get tangled and don’t break my sensitive strands.
- I can’t travel without dry shampoo! Marc Anthony’s mini version of their Clear Dry Shampoo is perfect because it has zero powdery residue, but all the volume.
