Makeup Essentials to Pack in Your Travel Bag

I’m about to jet set somewhere very exciting at the end of the month, so I thought what better time to share my favourite travel makeup essentials? Continue reading for what to pack for a quick trip.

I like to pack products that are travel sized, I’m only going away for a few days at the end of September and will only be bringing a carry-on. Thankfully, I have quite a few products at my fingertips that I can take. Enter these amazing Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Night Pads (basically, a god send after a long day/night of travel). What I love about these is they act as an exfoliator as well as a target for oilier skin (me).

You know I have raved about the Evian facial spray before but I can’t go anywhere without this bad boy. I use a bigger bottle for at home but this smaller one is perfect for traveling. I haven’t used it on the plane yet but I’m going to test it out on my upcoming red eye and let you know how it goes.

I’ve seriously been wanting to try this for so long and now I finally have it. The Garnier Micellar Water is perfect for traveling and what I love about this is it takes your makeup off and cleanses at the same time. Perfect double duty item. Also, can’t go anywhere without using sheet masks and this Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb one is the bomb.com. I’m also going to use it on the plane, and yes, I’m aware I will probably get odd stares.

Who else hates getting dry lips when they travel? It’s so unattractive, so I’m definitely bringing my trusty Fresh Beauty Sugar Lip Serum with me. Actually, I’m bringing the entire Fresh Beauty Sugar Lips line, don’t mind me.

I can’t live without dry shampoo on a good day at home, so I’m packing this travel-friendly one from Amika and can’t wait. Actually, Amika is based out of Brooklyn, New York and I’ve heard nothing but great things. I’m a huge fan and love the branding behind this line too.

The Gogo Tint product by Benefit is perfect because you can leave your big blush palettes at home. Since this does double duty by giving both your lips and cheeks some colour.

I have major tangly hair and have been on the lookout for a wet brush for awhile, so when I tried this one by Tangle Teezer I was seriously impressed. It managed to brush through my wet hair without the use of leave on conditioner. I also love how tiny it is, great for stashing on the go too.

I hate leaving my Clarisonic cleanser at home, but the Foreo Luna Play is a nice alternative because of how small and compact it is.

For lipstick, I like to pack a few different colours and a good nude goes a long way. I also love matte and this one from Kiss New York Professional is gorgeous.

And those are my travel essentials, what do you like to bring on trips?
