You want to look good at all times, but you’re stuck in a tiny bathroom, with one unusable plug and fluro lighting! Here are my ‘must-dos’:

  • Aveda Fillables are perfect for storing small quantities of your favorite products. If you are spending an extended period overseas, make sure you take enough of your fave products, especially if they’re not available in remote locations.
  • Don’t bother packing mascara if you’re heading anywhere tropical, unless it’s waterproof.
  • Never take pump packs — they’ll end up all over your bag. I once packed my favourite body moisturizer (pump pack) and even though I wrapped it in a plastic bag, the stuff still ended up all over my clothes.
  • If you’re going to be spending loads of time in the water, take a leave-in conditioner.
  • If you’re doing a lot of air travel, take vitamin E or cod-liver oil tablets for your skin.
  • Keep your hands soft on long-haul flights by smothering them in vitamin E cream and popping a pair of clean socks over them while you’re sleeping.

No Time? Quick Tips:

  • Tidy your eyebrows
  • A coat of waterproof mascara
  • Don’t forget a bronzer-highlighter!

Pack the perfect in-flight bag

Make sure containers with creams, drinks, perfumes and gels do not exceed 100ml, and are in a clear plastic bag. This will mean downsizing your beauty essentials. Trial sizes are also a fantastic way of getting all you need on the plane with you.

Essentials:

  • Lip balm
  • Hand cream
  • Eye cream
  • Eye drops
  • Skin refresher spray
  • Deodorant
  • Nail file

There you have it. So simple to be stylish…

Bon Voyage!
