When it comes to travel, whether you’re going by budget without check-in luggage or paying for full-service, the goal is to pack as little as possible. You don’t want to be lugging around a suitcase full of skincare or haircare products with less room for clothes or any shopping you wish to do. Also, the lighter you pack, the easier it is on your back and arms when you’re on the go.
As a beauty junkie, it seems like there is never enough space to lug along all the products you really want to take. Whether it’s your favourite shampoo, your ten-step night time regime, or your makeup palettes, it’s easy to run out of space. To help you out, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite travel items and mini versions of best-sellers in order to keep your travel as light as possible. Plus, all of the recommended products are under 100ml which means you don’t have to check them in!

When you’re travelling, you’ll want to smell your best especially when you’re always on the move. Of course, this also means that you have to always keep your trusty bottle of deodorant with you.

Dry Shampoo: Blossom & Bloom Ginseng + Biotin Volumizing Root Powder & Dry Shampoo, $44, Briogeo from Sephora
image
There will always be bad hair days, and while we can fix it with just the right tools in hand (read: the Dyson Airwrap), we can also easily fix it with a trusty ol’ dry shampoo to give your mane the boost that it needs. And while there are various dry shampoo products in the market, we do recommend that you get your hands on the powder formula as the dry shampoo sprays don’t last as long as their powder cousins.
