If you’re like us, you’re trying to cram everything for a trip into a tiny carry-on bag and your (oversized) purse. Here are a few of our essentials that come in teeny tiny sizes.
Tip: check out the travel sizes at your local drugstores.
- Makeup remover wipes. You’ll want these on the plane, especially if it’s a long flight. We like the pricey URSA MAJOR Essential Wipes ($26. for 20) because they don’t dry out your skin. Just pack a few extras for the trip home as well.
2. Hand Cream.
Since it’s soooo dry on planes so we always put a tin of the HERBACIN KAMILLE hand cream in our purse. (Technically it’s hand cream but we also use it on our lips. We love that it comes in a small 2.5 Fl OZ for $8.50) Since it contains Glycerin, it’s not greasy and really moisturizes.
3. Reef-safe sunscreen. No matter your destination, chances are you’ll need sunscreen. We love the SHISEDIO ‘Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+ which is so small you can even stick it in your pocket. Goes on clear. $30 and lasts forever.
4. Dry shampoo. You’ll be running around and won’t always have time to shampoo your hair, so pack a tiny can of dry shampoo, such as the Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo (Light Tones.) We’re a blonde but they have it for darker colors as well. $12 on Amazon.
5. A mini-razor.
Even if we shave right before a trip, chances are we missed a spot so we always pack one of these Gillette Venus Snap razors in our bag. Packed in a compact travel case, it protects the blade and our luggage. Pick it up on Amazon for $9.99.
6. Minis of our fave shampoo and conditioner.
We’re not fans of transferring our regular-sized beauty products into tiny containers where inevitably we can’t get everything out of the tube, so we’re packing Pureology’s Hydrate travel-sized shampoo, conditioner and the Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray. Only $11 each and they’ll last a few trips.
