If you’re planning a getaway, chances are you’ll want to keep your luggage as light as possible. Enter travel-size skincare, hair, and makeup products. Once a rarity, more and more brands now offer smaller sizes which really come in handy when travelling, helping save room in your suitcase or carry-on and allowing you to continue using your favourite products while you’re away. Combined with refillable travel bottles and solid cosmetics, they make it easy to take your beauty routine with you no matter your destination. Plus, minis are also an excellent way of trying out new products before splurging on the full-size version. Here, 8 travel-friendly essentials to try.
