12 must-have travel-friendly buys

R+Co Dry Shampoo Paste’s no-leak, non-liquid and non-aerosol formula  guarantees no spillage, which gets our tick of approval. Massage a small dollop of it into your roots to refresh the area, or add a touch of it to your hair for grit, texture and a light hold instantly.

Weary of your bottle of rosehip oil smashing or leaking in your bag? Then add RosehipPLUS Rosehip Oil Roll On to cart. Housed in a plastic tube, it can be applied straight onto the face or body to hydrate and promote healthy-looking skin.

Add a few drops of Dermalogica Solar Defense Booster SPF 50 to your moisturiser to instantly turn it into an SPF 50+ formula, or pack La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios XL Ultra Light SPF 50+ into your bag for a light sunscreen that works great under foundation (plus, it’s one your other half will be willing to wear, too).

Increase the longevity of your base with Mecca Cosmetica Primer Wardrobe, which includes three travel-sized primers that can hydrate, smooth and illuminate your skin. Rather than pack all three, simply choose the one that best suits your destination (hint: Lit From Within is our tropical destination must-have).

Whether it’s an understated line to define the eyes or a more dramatic wing shape to accentuate your look, Benefit’s They’re Real! Liner can do it all. Best of all, the gel formula won’t spill in your bag or dry out easily. Finish your eye makeup with It Cosmetics Mini Superhero Mascara, which can volumise, lengthen and curl in one stroke.

We love micellar oil formulas, however it’s not always feasible to decant it into smaller travel-friendly containers. Garnier’s new Micellar Oil-Infused Cleansing Wipes are a great solution, as they’re gentle yet effective in removing hard-to-budge makeup, and won’t leave your face feeling greasy.

Forget bringing a glass bottle of fragrance on holiday with you; pack a roll-on vial of perfume, such as Chloe EDP Rollerball, instead. Bonus points for their affordable price tag (at just $25!), and design - they’re about the size of a pen, which makes them easy to slip into any carry-on.

If you’re prone to travel-sickness, then a spritz or two of Jurlique’s Calming Blend Aromatherapy Mist over your face may work in your favour. The soothing lavender and grapefruit pure essential oils can soothe the senses and provide a quick hit of hydration at the same time.

If you’ve opted for nail polish over gel polish for your holiday, you’ll need to pack Manicare Nail Polish Remover Pads with you. Not only are they small and compact, but they come with wipes that are already soaked with the solution so you don’t need to pack any cotton pads.

The Iles Formula Discovery Pack is great for one to two week-long trips. Inside, you’ll find sachets for four sets of sulfate-free shampoo, a repair conditioner and a styling and protective finishing serum, which fits nicely inside your handbag.
