A space in the (beauty) case - what I pack when living out of a suitcase
22
items These are the products I always pack with me. Curated to minimize steps in the routine, keep my bag under weight, and leave my skin glowing.
I try to keep everything I use cruelty free and independent brands.

Skincare
Helped clear up my skin and prevents those pesky airplane pimples
SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid
My hero skin care product. I use it as a moisturizer because traditional moisturizers are too thick and clog my skin. This hydrates my skin and keeps my face acne free.
Oh! Mega Milky Oil Fermented Barrier Boosting Facial Oil
Holy grail for when environment or hormones attack. I always keep some in my bag to put on right away and stop me from picking at my skin and making things worse.
Mighty Patches: Original, Invisible and Face | Hero Cosmetics
I tend to get deep cystic pimples and I love to use these for that. It draws them up to the surface and breaks up the hard lump.
Mighty Patch™ for Early-Stage Blemishes - Hero Cosmetics
The “whoops I picked my skin again” recovery routine
Rescue Balm | The Post-Blemish Recovery Cream - Hero Cosmetics
Looks great on a bare face and sits well under makeup
Ginseng Moist Sun Serum (SPF 50+ PA++++) - Beauty of Joseon
Been using these for ten years and only replace them if I loose them. Great for removing makeup without anything else or for clean face cloths when doing general skincare
Hotel towels are usually too rough and stain
ERASE YOUR FACE Reusable Makeup Remover Cloths
I’ll use this in addition to an “erase your face” cloth when wearing a full face of makeup or if I want a deeper/nice experience when removing makeup
Ethereal Concentrated Cleansing Oil | Dieux Skin
Nails
My favorite press on nails as they look amazing and come in a convenient case for storage. I like to use the tabs and reuse them.
This way I can have salon style nails at a cheaper cot and I don’t have to worry about finding a good salon on my trip...
Press-on Nails - Celebritips™
So convenient to have in your bag and use
On A Roll Apricot Cuticle Oil - Essie | Ulta Beauty
A quick alternative to soaking your press ons off
Bye Bye Adhesive™ | Celebritips
I use these when reusing press on nails that I’ve already used the stickers for, or just to have spare tabs in my bag in case I loose a nail while out and about
Super Stick Tab Pack Tab Press-Ons - Olive and June
My favorite hand cream, I always stock up when I’m Basil. Great for cold climates and dry flights
Hand and Foot Creams | Natura
Hair
A bit of a Swiss Army Knife of a hair product
All Eyes On Me 10‑in‑1 Hair Perfector Leave‑In Spray
I prefer this powder for travel because I don’t have to think about aerosol restrictions and it’s easier to direct. I put it in my hands, flip my hair, and style it how I normally do.
Dry Shampoo | Odele Beauty
Makeup
Easy to apply and throw in a bag. I apply it in like two minutes while waiting on the Uber. I have drier skin so I mist my face with SOS spray or a milky toner while blending to ensure a smoother application.
Love that I don’t have to use a pallet,...
Skin Rewind Blurring Foundation + Concealer Stick - ILIA Beauty
Blends out light or can be built up
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Blush | Liquid Glow
My favorite eyebrow gel (clear). Holds in place without clumping eyebrow hairs together or darkening my eyebrows too much.
Eyebrows: gels, pencils, mascaras and brow kits | KIKO
Easy to apply or throw in a bag. I don’t need space for a chunky pallet. Blends nicely with a brush or finger
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick | Shimmer Eyeshadow Sticks
My cruelty free alt for the Nars Concealer Pot. Great for wearing alone or spot concealing
sweetener concealer - rem beauty
I use this brush for pot concealers. It’s great to scoop out, apply, and blend while keeping the pot clean to prevent acne.
Putty Primer Brush and Applicator - e.l.f. Cosmetics
Body
My favorite body oil, I always stock up when in Brazil.
Keeps my skin hydrated, smelling great, and is lighter in both feel and weight than lotion.
Muriel | Pure Brasil
