The Beauty Minis We Won't Travel Without
Between choosing the right sunscreen to the right waterproof makeup, it can be hard (especially when you love beauty) to not pack an entire suitcase full of beauty minis, “just in case” you might need them.
Whether you’re packing for a staycation or a long-haul getaway, we feel like we’ve mastered the art of packing beauty minis. We know how to keep it to a minimum and streamline your beauty routine. Read on for the essential mini beauty products we’ll be travelling with this summer.
The Best Beauty Mini Products You Need for Summer 2024
Youth to the People
Superfood Cleanser, N/A
Best travel-friendly cleanser
Mini but mighty, this Youth to The People Cleanser will cleanse your face and keep impurities at bay, while nourishing the skin with potent antioxidants. Between being out all day and having impurities and sweat build up, it’s the perfect product to start your evening routine with. We also love that it comes in a handy 59ml format to take with you on all your getaways.
Malin + Goetz
Eucalyptus Deodorant, N/A
Best travel-size deodorant
We love Malin + Goetz’s natural deodorant for several reasons. Firstly, it genuinely does leave you feeling fresh and dry, even when the mercury rises. The formula helps to get rid of bacteria that could cause any unwanted odour. Secondly, the eucalyptus scent smells divine and worlds apart from the usual, run-of-the-mill deodorant. Thirdly, if you’re flying, this deodorant stick doesn’t count towards your liquid allowance and the mini size doesn’t take up lots of space in your hand luggage.
Sol de Janeiro
Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, N/A
Best travel-size body lotion
As summer approaches more of us tend to bare a bit more skin, which makes any dry patches all the more noticeable. Fear not, the iconic Bum Bum Cream is available in miniature form and is here to save the day – whether you’re home or away. The dreamy texture of this cream smoothes and soothes in seconds, while the signature scent can double up as a body perfume when you apply it on your wrists and neck.
Rare Beauty
Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara, N/A
Best travel-size mascara
Selena Gomez always raves about her Perfect Strokes Mascara, it provides amazing length and volume to anyone's lashes. Now you can take it on-the-go and achieve a dramatic eye look wherever you go, without overpacking your makeup bag.
VIEVE
Skin Nova, N/A
Best travel-size makeup multitasker
It's skincare and makeup in a bottle, this glowy primer is fabulous to use on its own or with makeup on top. It will give your skin a natural-looking glow while hydrating your skin with rosewater and glycerin. If you love that lit-from-within look, this is the product for you.
Supergoop!
Glowscreen SPF 30, N/A
Best travel-size sunscreen for face
We don’t go anywhere without wearing SPF, especially not on holiday. Supergoop! is making it easier to find the right sunscreen for your skin tone and your skin type. We've been loving Glowscreen, a dreamy makeup primer that also provides SPF 30, it's the product to wear on its own to protect and give the skin a lovely glow.
Glossier
Cloud Paint Gel Cream Blush, N/A
Best blusher for a gorgeous glow
From the creamy-gel texture to the natural, buildable finish, there’s nothing not to love about this iconic Glossier blush. You can do a natural, minimal makeup during the day and build up the colour in the evening for a bolder look. We also love that it works well on the lips, no need to pack a separate lipstick.
Hair by Sam McKnight
Cool Girl Volume Cleanse, N/A
Best travel-size shampoo
Wash out the sand, sea salt and SPF without leaving your locks feeling dry or brittle with Hair by Sam McKnight's Cool Girl Volume Cleanse. The expertly blended formula uses natural surfactants to cleanse your scalp and get rid of any excess oil to ensure your hair is as voluminous as possible.
Color Wow
Dream Coat Supernatural Spray, N/A
Best hair styler to tame frizz
Say goodbye to frizz and flyaways this summer with Color Wow’s not-so-secret weapon. Between hot, humid weather and spending time in the water, this will keep your hair looking smooth and shiny for days. If you like to be low maintenance with your hair routine on holiday, this product is made for you.
Space NK
Medium Travel Bag - Ibiza Pink, N/A
Best travel beauty bag
Because you need something to carry your beauty haul; this travel makeup bag is the perfect size to fit all your travel minis and more. We love that it’s transparent and you’re able to see all your products and spot what you’re looking for without even opening it. There are a range of colours to choose from too.
