5 Things Travel Beauty Heroes.

5 Things Travel Beauty Heroes.

With just under a week until I set off on my travels, I thought I would pull together a few of my travel-sized staples for the trip. Cue much cooing over these adorable mini sizes – ahh!

I went straight to the Bumble stand in Boots for my haircare minis, I had to pick up the cute Thickening duo for while I’m away. I bought both the Bumble and bumble Thickening Shampoo (£6.50) and the Thickening Conditioner (£7.50), which I haven’t tried before. I love anything that promises to thicken and add body to my short locks so I’m sure I’ll love these. Although they were a pricey pair for just 50ml of product in each, I know I’ll reuse the bottles on future trips so I think they’ll be worth the purchase.

I’m also taking with me my trusty Bobbi Brown Face Touch-Up Palette (£34), a must-have mini kit for all your concealing needs. This contains the brands cult corrector and creamy concealer, as well as setting powder and the foundation stick – making it a must have for me! I love it, it’s super handy and it saves so much space in my travel makeup bag!

I always take multi-purpose products with me when I go away, and I’ll definitely be popping in the lovely YSL Babydoll Kiss & Blush (£28.50), seen here in shade 1. I love this bright fuchsia hue for lips and cheeks, it’s a striking all-year-round shade that brings out the blue in my eyes and makes my skin glow.

Another essential for me is my small size of Chloe Eau De Parfum; this is the My Little Chloe Eau De Parfum (£35), a tinsy small-size of the original. This is one of my favourite scents, and I love how intoxicating it is on the skin!

Finally, I’ve got one of the amazing Nourish ‘try me’ kits for happy skin – if you haven’t already tried natural skincare brand Nourish, I highly recommend you do! They are one of my favourite finds – great ingredients, no-fuss skincare that works on my skin without any adverse affects, and a very reasonable price tag. I usually love the Balance range, but I decided to go for the Nourish Radiance Mini Kit (£25), which features four amazing buys from the brand, in smaller sizes. There’s a cleanser, toner, serum and moisturiser, so everything I need to get happy skin! I’m not sure I can wait until next week to try them…
