The Beauty Minis We Won't Travel Without
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 Mini Beauty Products You Need in 2024
Paula's Choice
Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, £12.00
Best Travel-size Blemish Buster
Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is essential in our skincare routine all year round to help ease any congestion and keep blackheads at bay. If you want to get your glow on this summer, this cult liquid exfoliant is a must-have as it helps to prevent blemishes and bumps under the skin. We recommend using it in the evening after cleansing and before your serums and creams. We love that it comes in 30ml to carry everywhere we go.
Malin + Goetz
Eucalyptus Deodorant, £14.00
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, £21.00
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, £11.00
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.

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.
Nars

All you need to do is apply a little bit on your cheeks and across your nose, and you've got your holiday makeup sorted.
