Travel Size Toiletries: Ready, Set, Jet with These Double-Duty Beauty Products

By Alix Turoff

Traveling can sometimes be the product junkie’s worst enemy. What do you mean we can’t bring our entire caboodle case?! Narrowing down your product regimen to the bare necessities can be difficult, but that’s why we’re here. We’ve compiled a list of travel sized goodies and products that do double duty so you never have to worry about being caught in a beauty emergency!

Our Top Picks for a Beautiful Vacation:

Japonesque Beautiful Eyes Touch Up Tube Set, $15
Before you get off the plane, you may need to reapply your eye makeup. This compact set of brushes includes everything you need for those emergency touch ups. An angled brow brush, a flat eyeliner brush, a shadow fluff brush and an eye smudger are all tucked into a case small enough for your carry-on.

Earth Therapeutics Orange Eye Pads, $6
After a long plane ride, it’s only natural to feel tired and lethargic. Fight dark circles and rejuvenate skin with these orange extract infused eye pads. The vitamin C protects the skin from signs of aging, the chamomile revitalizes, the gingko biloba restores and the green tea fights the damage caused by free radicals. When you get to your hotel, put these on your eyes to ease any feeling of jet lag!

Need a facial when you land? Make these easy facials in your hotel room!

Deborah Lippmann The Stripper To Go, $10
There is nothing worse than a chipped mani. This package comes with six finger mitts but all you need is one to remove the polish from all ten fingers. Throw this in your makeup case instead of a big bottle of nail polish remover and cotton balls! It even smells good!

Earth Therapeutics Foot Therapy Pedicure To Go Set, $21
What’s a vacation without a pedicure? Skip the salon but not your sandals with this convenient pedicure set. This travel friendly set includes a toenail clipper, cuticle trimmer, an angled cuticle pusher and a three surface nail file. When you’re not traveling, bring this to the nail salon to ensure you are being treated with only the most clean tools.

One Bath and Body Solid Shampoo and Conditioner, $7.69 each
One salon shampoo and conditioner is the size of a hockey puck but contains the same amount of product as a 24-ounce shampoo bottle. How’s that for packing light? Plus, as a solid, you can even carry it on! So, if you’re sick of the scarecrow hair that comes with using most hotel shampoos, bring this along for the ride, lather up and rinse for fruity smelling, luxurious hair.

Revolution Organics’ Freedom Glow Multi-Tasking Beauty Balm, $34
In our fast-paced, technology driven world, being able to multitask is of the utmost importance. That’s why we love this multitasking balm which is a portable stick of 100% natural ingredients that can be applied to the cheeks, lips, eyes, forehead, noes, legs, shoulders and décolletage. This stick comes in blushed (pink), skin kissed (coral) and bronzed (tan) which leaves you with tons of options when it comes to your face. Make room in your makeup case for more important essentials by covering all the bases with this multi-purpose beauty balm!

Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics Jet Set, $32
One compact contains enough colors (18 eye shadows, 4 lip glosses and 3 brushes) to create an endless number of looks. When you have some time between the beach and dinner, experiment with the shimmery colors in this portable clutch. It’s the perfect compliment to your sun kissed glow.

Phytomer Sun Serenity Set, $78.50
Mom always warned you to wear your sunblock, but sometimes you’re hesitant since (hopefully!) those wrinkles won’t be a reality for years to come – and that sun-kissed glow looks oh, so good! But, here at the Beauty Bean, we know the importance of protecting our skin from harmful UV-rays, which is why we LOVE this product. After using the pre-exposure 7 day serum and the post-exposure 7 day serum, our skin was gorgeously tanned but also protected from the damaging effects of UV exposure.

Rodial LA Face Lift, $101.40
A vacation can wreak havoc on your skin, what with the late nights spent dancing, the one too many piña coladas and the stress from flying. With Rodial’s LA Face Lift, you won’t need a star’s plastic surgery budget to look like your favorite LA goddess. With 5 skincare essentials in this kit (A-List Cleanser, Glamtox Peel, SPF 15 Glamtox Eye Light, SPF 18 Glamtox and Glam Balm), the products in this set will cleanse, moisturize and fight signs of aging by increasing collagen production. The A-List Cleanser leaves skin soft while the glam balm has up to 100 uses (plumps lips, reduces wrinkles, moisturizes skin, etc) making it the perfect multi-purpose product for your handbag. Give it a try and you won’t help but feel, well…glam.
