The Best Beauty Minis To Take Everywhere
Thankfully, we have an array of travel size beauty products to keep our routine in check, even when we’re not in the comfort of our bathroom. If you’re still trying to figure out what your beauty essentials for this summer are, hopefully this will help inspire you and streamline your packing.
Between SPF, makeup and haircare (and more for the beauty savvy), it’s hard to imagine not packing an entire suitcase solely for your beauty routine. But don’t worry, we’ve all been there, and we’ll help you figure out the art of packing light. Scroll down for the ultimate packing list of travel size beauty products.

Nars
Mini Climax Mascara, $13.00
The Makeup Fix
Charlotte Tilbury’s setting spray has become a firm favourite with Space NK’s team since it launched last summer. The lightweight mist acts as a cooling, soothing primer to prep your skin, as well as a makeup fixer to stop your foundation from sliding. What we love the most though is the airbrushed effect it gives our makeup. Your foundation and powder seem to fuse together seamlessly, leaving you with a natural, healthy glow.
Erborian
CC Creme Hd, $22.50
The Mini Mascara
Don’t be fooled by the cuteness of this miniature mascara, it delivers the same dramatic volume and impact as the full-sized version. It’s incredibly helpful as it means you’ve got more room for your other makeup essentials. NARS has a whole range of minis to explore.
Living Proof
PhD Dry Shampoo, $15.60
The Complexion Must-Have
Enhance and even out your complexion with this nifty tinted moisturiser. It’s packed full of skin-friendly ingredients, such as vitamin B3. With SPF 25, it helps to protect your skin and leave you with a gorgeous healthy glow. Those with oily skin might even find that they can forgo moisturiser altogether with this.
Jo Loves
Pomelo a Fragrance Paintbrush Gel, $52.00
The Hair Hero
These unique and innovative paintbrushes are the ideal way to wear fragrance on-the-go. Simply swipe across the skin and it will linger for hours. The pink pomelo and rose scent is our current summer favourite.
Space NK
Medium Travel Bag, $23.80
The Ultimate Carrier
Practical and chic, our transparent travel bags make it easy to organise your minis and store them all in one place. These are a bathroom essential and not just for overnight stays and weekend breaks.
Fresh
Mini Loves Fresh Faves, $35.00
The Complete Set
If you’d rather take a fuss-free approach to staycation packing, this five-piece set should be in your shopping basket. With a cleanser, mask, essence, moisturiser and lip balm, Fresh has covered every skincare step. It also doubles up as a great intro to the brand for anyone who’s new to Fresh.
