I absolutely dread packing for travel. Regardless of where I’m going and for how long, there seems to be a reoccurring theme: I either pack too much, which the airline charges extra for (on top of their already ridic prices), or I forget an essential. Like, hello! I’m left to my own devices looking for any drugstore in Anytown USA to grab a tube of mascara because I went off and forgot mine on the bathroom counter. How can some people make it look like Bree Van de Kamp packed for them? Despite my own version of perfectionism, it looks more like Messy Marvin packed for me.
While I can’t offer any tips to pack like a pro, I can offer up some stellar travel product suggestions that will help you travel light(er)! Throw these in your luggage and you’re good to go:
Liz Earle Essentials Try Me Kit — Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser 1 fl.oz tube + 1 pure muslin cloth, Instant Boost Skin Tonic 1.6 fl.oz bottle, and Skin Repair Moisturiser 0.5 fl.oz tube – Normal/combination & Dry/sensitive in a zip-up kit will help minimize the skin dehydration we often get from air travel.
Privé’s “Amplify on the Fly” Travel Kit* — The different water you’ll be washing your hair with in another city might make it fall flat! Grab these travel-sized faves: Amplifying Shampoo, Shining Weightless Amplifier, and Finishing Spray to avoid the frump.
Redken for Men Mint Essentials Travel Kit* — I couldn’t leave out the fellas! With travel sizes of Redken’s latest & greatest products for men from the new mint line, Mint Clean Invigorating Shampoo, Cool Finish Invigorating Conditioner, Mint Fix Sweat-Resist Gel, and Mint Rush Hair & Body Wash–this one is fab.
