My travel essentials are always a must when it comes to a weekend getaway or a quick city escape. I never go without my skincare and beauty must-haves. They help keep my skin glowing, and make my routine effortless while on vacation.
My Travel-Size Favorites
My beauty and skincare faves are always evolving, but I only make a switch when something truly better comes along. These are my current go to travel-size essentials the ones that have earned their spot in my bag (for now).
Where I Shop:
Target is my favorite place to shop for travel minis. You can find the greatest quality products at such a great price. Here’s a few:
Sun Bum Mini Face Mist – SPF 45
I fell in love with this spray while traveling. As a Black woman, I really appreciate that it doesn’t leave a white cast. It keeps my skin protected, non-greasy, and gives me a beautiful, natural glow.
MIX:BAR Women’s Mini Hair & Body Mist Perfume – Vanilla Bourbon
This hair and body mist is a sweet, light scent that’s perfect for on the go. It’s easy to forget it’s also a hair mist, making it a double win when you need a quick refresh.
My Favorite Mini Ulta Favorites
Target now has Ulta Beauty in many locations. This makes grabbing my everyday skincare favorites even easier. It is especially convenient since they come in travel friendly sizes!
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
This serum has been a staple in my routine for years. It improves my skin’s texture, minimizes pores, and gives me that fresh, clean look in the morning. Bonus: the travel-size is perfect and lasts longer than you’d think.
Clinique My Happy Indigo Mist Perfume Spray
One of my all-time favorite scents. It’s fresh, uplifting, and the perfect size for travel. This Clinique line comes in six unique scents. If Indigo Mist isn’t your vibe, there’s definitely one that will match your personal taste.
Naturium Minis
Naturium is known for its effective, gentle skincare. Ulta carries their minis. These are great if you’re traveling. They are also perfect if you just want to test before committing to a full-size product. If you can’t find them on the shelf, don’t hesitate to ask an associate!
Lash Idôle Mascara (Lancôme)
I discovered this gem by accident. I left my mascara at home. My best friend handed me her unopened mini Idôle from Sephora. Instant love. It lifts and adds volume without clumping. I ended up buying the full size later, but I always keep a mini in my bag now. Both Sephora and Ulta carry minis, just ask!
These little luxuries make a big difference while I’m away from home. If you’re prepping for your next trip, don’t sleep on travel-size beauty. They’re convenient, TSA-friendly, and let you keep your routine intact wherever you go.
