Packing for a getaway I know, can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to fitting your beauty routine into a carry-on (and I personally love to pack everything but the kitchen sink when heading on holidays!) Well to save the stress, and to help streamline the packing process, we have rounded up the best travel-sized beauty essentials that we promise will keep you looking and feeling fabulous wherever you might be headed this holiday season!
From multi-tasking skincare saviours to compact makeup must-haves, these mini-sized heroes are perfect for saving space! Keep reading for the ultimate compact essentials for your travel bag.
1. Pevonia Flight Essentials Kit
This kit really is the ultimate travel companion! Each product in the kit (which includes a gentle cleanser, a hydrating and soothing facial mist, a dry oil body moisturiser, eye cream, eye gel and anti-ageing moisturiser), work together to maintain your skin’s health and radiance! The carefully curated set is designed to combat the dehydrating effects of travel, keeping your skin refreshed, hydrated, and glowing from head to toe!
All the products in the kit are 50ml and under and come packed in a sleek cosmetics pouch so you can easily fit it into your carry on and use as you need during or after your flight! Game-changing!
2. BC Starter Kits
No matter your skin type BC have an essential starter kit for you! Full of best sellers each pack comes with 3 or 4 travel sizes for convenience while building your perfect skincare routine.
From anti-ageing kits to kits for dry, dull, sensitive, combination, rosacea and blemished skin, we couldn’t recommend these kits more, but a real favourite of ours, for thirsty, ageing skin, is the Pevonia Power Repair Starter Kit. It includes 3 x 50ml travel essentials including the best-selling Age Correction Hydrating Toner, Age Correction Hydrating Cleanser, and Age Correction Marine Collagen Cream!
3. Vie Collection Vita C Concentrated Solution
A good vitamin c serum can be game-changing for skin all year round, but if you’re heading on holidays for some sun and sangria, or simply staying put and enjoying the warmer weather at home, it’s an important step to incorporate into your morning skincare routine since vitamin c helps protect your skin from UV rays and pollution. This is because this powerful antioxidant neutralizes free radicals, brightens skin and boosts collagen production and we can’t get enough of Vie Collections Vita C Concentrated Solution! It almost immediately revitalizes skin restoring its original radiance and luminosity, oh and it enhances skin tone and texture too!
Another firm vitamin C favourite of ours and many of the BC customers is Pevonia’s Optimal C Complexe with Oxyzomes
4. Hubislab Moisture Max Hyaluron Complex 65% Ampoule
While we can’t get enough of a good vitamin c serum in the morning, if your skin is feeling parched after a day at the beach, a deeply nourishing serum to rehydrate skin is a must! Hubislab’s outstanding complex serum combines hyaluronic acid, collagen and rosa centifolia flower water to quite literally blast skin with intensive moisture restoring elasticity and balance while protecting skin cells from free radical damage. It’s outstanding!
5. ELES Radiant BB Cream 30 with Blue Light Protection
Who doesn’t love a BB Cream (AKA Beauty Balm) it’s a multi-tasking masterpiece which primes, tints, corrects and protects skin and the ELES Radiance BB Cream is no exception! This best-seller should be your go-to beauty essential when on holidays because let’s face it who wants a full face of makeup when they are sipping cocktails by the pool or seeing the sights in the sun! Not only does it contain high factor SPF for sun protection, it protects your skin against the harsh effects of blue light damage (emitted from the sun and your digital devices) and if you’re like me your be guilty of doing a bit of phone scrolling these holidays!
This tinted cream melts into the skin to cover blemishes for a unified dewy, and visibly radiant complexion too! What’s more, it has the added skincare benefits of hyaluronic, vitamin e, squalane and a multi-mineral complex too! Plus, it feels like you aren’t wearing makeup either! Amazing stuff.
6. ELES Baked Finishing Powder in Diffused Light
You might be going somewhere which involves sun, sea and sand these holidays but it’s still essential to be sun smart. Instead of getting that sun kissed glow from well laying in the sun (which we all know isn’t good for our skin), arm yourself with the ELES Baked Finishing Power in Diffused Light.
This compact multi-tasking essential which acts as your power, bronzer and highlighter will have your skin glowing in a matter of seconds. It’s a palette of gorgeous glowing warm tones that acts like a photo filter on your skin, subtle enough for daily wear, yet gives you that truly “lit from within” healthy glow.
7. ELES Sheet Masks
Perfectly compact, sheet masks are perfect for a pampering pick-me-up! They are a great way to provide your skin with a big boost of hydration, nourishment and other skincare benefits, plus they are so quick and easy to use (unlike most cream masks).
ELES Sheet Masks come in 4 options from calming and soothing to hydrating and brightening and I promise you’ll love the way your skin will lap up the moisture from the mask leaving it cool, calm, deeply nourished and visibly refreshed.
