Mini-breaking? You Need these Hand Luggage Must-haves

MINI MAKE UP MUST HAVES 

Looking for a dewy, natural tint that brightens and illuminates your skin without hiding those cute freckles? Say hello to Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer Natural Skin Perfector Mini. Boasting the perfect blend of skin care and make up, this formula improves your complexion over time with a hydrating combination of macadamia and kukui seed oils. Just follow with their bestselling Translucent Loose Setting Powder to ‘fix’ your face and mitigate the risk of make up slippage.  

Keeping to the theme of natural looking make up is the original multipurpose product — Benefit’s Benetint Lip and Cheek Stain. Made up of a sheer liquid formula, this tint glides seamlessly over your skin, giving an instant wash of colour. Fabulous on faces and luscious on lips, it can be applied with the brush-tipped lid for an ultra-natural, rosy finish. Plus, its delicate floral scent hints to summer too!  

And finally, did you forget to book your appointment with the lash tech before jetting off? Fear not. Hourglass’ Caution Extreme Lash Mascara  is here to save your getaway. Ultra-defining, this lifts, plumps and lengthens each lash for a long-lasting, false-lash effect.

Keen to amplify that ‘golden hour’ glow? Pai’s mini The Impossible Glow Bronzing Drops lend a ‘kiss’ of summer colour with a whisper of sophisticated shimmer — perfect paired with floaty maxi dresses (and a spritz).  

And if you’re heading for a festival, ensure you’re armed with Natasha Denona’s Mini Pastel Palette — a line-up of shimmering, sorbet-toned shadows that offer phenomenal, long-wearing payoff for after-dark drama. Perfect for your Pyramid-stage pilgrimage…

ITTY-BITYY HAIR HEROES  

Whether your jet setting across the globe or traveling cross country, you can’t go anywhere, and we mean anywhere without levelling up your locks. 

Smooth, set and style your strands with ghd’s The Mini All-Rounder Paddle Hair Brush. Just like your hair tools at home (just shrunken down to smaller proportions), this handbag hero tames your mane when on the move. Featuring a paddle silhouette and a non-slip handle it’s easily carried around and is ready to save your (hair) day. Don’t worry you can thank us later…  

Proving that traveling doesn’t need to disrupt your daily tresses treatment, Briogeo dreams up a plethora of mini hair care kits that can follow you wherever you may go (weekend away in the Cotswalds or even that girl’s trip to Ibiza). While they may be mini in size, they ensure maximum results. Choose from the smooth +shine or strengthen + repair sets and never fear about holiday hair stress again. 

If humidity wreaks havoc with your hairdo, Color Wow’s Dream Coat Supernatural Spray seals your strands with a featherlight, waterproof film to protect against ‘fluff’ while delivering shine. Providing protection without adding weight, it’s great if your hair’s fine or chemically treated — prolonging the life and vibrancy of your colour, without leaving lengths looking limp. 

Now just before you click those heels and walk out your hotel door, don’t forget to finish off with a spritz of Gisou Honey Infused Hair Perfume.  Not only does is strengthen strands but it leaves a seductive scent behind as you swish your way through Rome (read: Scarborough…)   

Flight-friendly fragrances

The scent of the summer, Kayali’s Yum Pistachio Gelato 33 is the ultimate sensory partner-in-crime when you’re wandering through the backstreets of Positano, or sipping rosé by the pool in paradise. With notes of hazelnut, pistachio, peony and sandalwood, it’s a sugar-fix for sweet-toothed fragrancephiles.

And you can’t go wrong with Sol de Janeiro’s delectable Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist — a head-to-toe spritz that enshrouds you with the brand’s signature salted-caramel blend of jasmine, almond and pistachio. It’s fun, flirtatious and the ultimate accompaniment to cocktails at the beach bar…
